TO - Argos - What to do about attendance
Eternal optimist replied to Adrenaline_x's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Was the Argo's offense on strike? -
1. Harris - New single-game career high for rushing total 2. Nichols - No turnovers and he had a that big third down sneak. 3. O-line - They often don't get the credit they deserve HH - I gotta say LaPo because his play-calling was much more suited for the situations in the game. No turnovers on downs, and Harris was well-fed.

To the MBB member who saw me at kickoff:

That shouldn't be hard at BMO with record-low levels of attendance... . I miss when the Argo's franchise was the class of the league, not because I'm an Argo's fan, just because I think it is good for the league as a whole. -
Game Day Thread - Bombers @ Argos
Eternal optimist replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I understand players want to contribute in any way possible - but is anyone else concerned that Bennett plays special teams as our 3rd stringer? Is this common practice throughout the league for 3rd string QBs? -
Game Day Thread - Bombers @ Argos

I just don't understand how a team that pissed away a 17-0 lead last week could have such a sudden lapse of concentration again. -

This game has an eerily similar script to last week... hoping for a different result. -
How Happy Are You With Paul LaPolice
Eternal optimist replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
So much this. The fact this thread is even here is a testament to how impatient our own fan base is. We're 2-3 people - one game under .500 - not only that - two of those losses came with our rookie Streveler at the helm, and the home opener against Edmonton was a very winnable game, against Reilly no less. -
As much as our defense has been a talking point and area of concern - we might be okay here. They've done well against less experienced (or damaged) QBs in Willy and Jennings, but got picked apart against frankly better QBs (Reilly, Lulay and Masoli). If we can keep Franklin off his game, or somehow manage to turn it into an offensive shootout - I think we'll be fine.

Odds and Sods - Winnipeg Blue Bombers at BC Lions
Eternal optimist replied to do or die's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Hurts so good. -
1. Harris only player this year that seems capable of playing 60 minutes of football consistently. 2. Bob Irving - called a great game as always, even though it was a miserable result. 3. Doug Brown - see above. HH - All you Bombers fans that stuck it out to the bitter end to witness a collapse more confusing and chaotic than the 2008 financial crisis.

Sure, it's a team sport. I would lay this loss at the coaches more than the players, and you vice versa. Agree to disagree. On the bright side..... We only play BC twice this year, meaning even with this gut-wrenching loss, we still hold the tie-breaker over them in the divisional standings by virtue of the point differential in those two games.
