Thats true. For the most part it was the O and teams constantly putting the D in bad situations and leaving them on the field for long stretches. As our offence goes so goes our team.

And or mos listening. We suck at challenges and it might all be rotten. Mos always has.

Haha. If it happens again tell him to meet you in Winnipeg. It’ll be like a lotr moment with bomber fans running in. it’s pathetic that they still don’t have it working right. I’ve got some random ass casino page sports betting site that updates the stats pretty quick. Some one should get fired for this debacle.

Totally agree. This is a big step in who we are and if we will continue to fall into the same deficiencies during the stretch run. Back 3rd of the season, we are healthy rested and have no cap issues or excuses. I expect we will roll up the sleeves now. No more lazy crazy kick cover, no coasting and spotting teams leads. Bombers open 7 point favorites. I bet the line moves pretty well too. Hamilton to cover and the under probably make really good money this week.

If there is ever a time to catch the bombers, when you clearly do not want to play us at home after we lost, it’s on the road in the east right before a bye and after we blow some one out. Last year we lost the streak to mtl at home before a bye though in a back to back, then we lost again in Hamilton before another bye. Then losing at bc before the final bye though after clinching the wf.

After we dropped 45 on ssk we followed that up with the beat down by bc. After the beat down on bc we had Zach knocked out vs edm in a game we struggled with a lot till brown put up a massive performance. We dropped 47 on the ALs then lost the ldc. the exception this year was week 1 we put 42 on the cats to win by 9, in a game blm looked horrid in. Then followed that up with the 45 on ssk when Harris put up the shallowest 414 3 and 0 while losing by 18. It’s always tough to follow that kind of offensive success the next week. We always seem to struggle a little extra with the game after we blow some one out even more. Going into the 8th week since our only bye with the biggest game of the regular season, rematch vs tor some guys could be a little flat vs ham too. I expect Hamilton to be juiced up to play us, as they have been each time since 19 gc. That said, I expect us to wake up and grind out a tough gritty character win.

the tldr to a long and for some boring post is that innovation came to the spread to pass and spread to run offence. It didn’t come to fb. These offences found ways to take tacklers out of the equation while allowing for more of an offensive threat with more creative twists A lot happened over 20 ish years that killed the fb, 2 back pro form offence. In the 70s the first wave of spread offence innovators started to have great success. First at hs then college and the nfl. From mouse davis to bill Walsh. These guys had their first batch of disciples take power in the 80s, and saw the most successful nfl version in the 49ers. In the cfl, when don Mathew’s was playing a lot of cover 0 teams at first tried to counter with going heavier with double tight sets. But then real success came with 5 and 6 wr spread sets and just getting the ball out quickly. At that point the fb was already becoming rarer. The west coast possession passing offence that the nfl hadn’t embraced beyond a few coaches had flourished in colleges. That created a plethora of highly accomplished QBs with no pro path other than the cfl. Mean while at the college level talented athletic big guys made bigger impacts at other positions and wanted to play those positions with better pro futures. So the talent pool at fb fell, while wr talent pools stayed pretty high. QBs became more and more athletic, which makes pistol and shot gun even more viable. The on set of pistol greatly reduced the wild snaps to the qb. In the late 90s the zone run scheme had the same explosion in disciples as the spread had in college and hs in the 70s and 80s. Teams who wanted to dominate with the run found it easier to run fewer big bodies the defence has to have more db types to cover more WRs who aren’t likely to beat a block and make a tackle one on one with a rb. A full time fb just means a db is off for a lber and that’s an extra guy in the box playing the back field. The spread to run concept and the flex 11/21 packages with pass catching tes put two guys on the field in place of the fb. Kr types who could be schemed in to run and catch out of the slot while running jet motion, and big guys who can block down but can also run and catch and be hard to tackle for dbs. All while the fb position stayed stagnant. the two rb sets were replaced with motion. A wr on jet motion before the snap or at the snap is harder to defend and opens more gaps plus demands a contain guy on the edge. This and mobile QBs created ways to take a tackler out of the equation. With the size of the field in the cfl it was always much more suited to the extra passing threat especially stretching the field side line to sideline. Even more so now with the hash mark move. Though teams have become soo homogenous that they we now see the bombers running two extra ol and a fb while defences just done have the depth and talent to counter that with. Funnily enough last year was the first time the nfl saw an increase in fb use in over a decade too. Idk great talent but with Habba sitting on the pr that’s a big spend to get his rights. If we were gonna spend those assets we should go get a big dt.

Yeah I can’t see Demski or Brady ever leaving for another team.

Funny thing is the rider fans used to say much of the same stuff about Demski and about him never coming back to the ball. Ssk has lots of young talent at wr but are pure crap when it comes to developing them. Bourgoin doesnt get the credit he deserves for the job he’s done here. Demski would’ve enjoyed way better early years if we had drafted him out of the U.

24 ct gold

Don’t care who’s better on ld. Or any other regular season game unless we play them. Matters who is better in the gc.

1 Zach 319 5 heels up and chilled early 2 Brady 200 combined yards 3 dl some pressures, good run d controlled line of scrimmage hh the under hand flip to Brady while being tackle that Brady took in for the game winning score crunch of the game and block, ol in the red zone dive by prukop awe that’s dirty Lanier with two late hits on Zach. honorable mention to just about every one. Kramdi had his best game, ol dominated, kick cover got a lot better too
