Willy is 7 of 11 for 111 yards. I'd say the D is the bigger issue right now. Our D plays so soft. Stamps just marching at will against them. O isn't great but the D is just bad
But half of those yards came in the last 45 seconds with Calgary playing 20 yards off the ball. 9 minutes of possession is terrible and thats on the O,

Lol, unreal. What a s**t show.

O'Shea could be excused on that accord the first season and perhaps the second, but no more. The GM cannot override the coach if the coach says, "this is the right player and I am going to go with him" and Nichols could be an effective plan B to Willy but we may never know.
Oh i fully agree that O'shea's decision making is suspect at best especially when it comes to "his guys" and loyalty to declining vets but in the end the final personnel decisions belong to the GM, or should anyway.

This is not on Walters if he and O'Shea have the relationship where O'Shea assesses the talent and tells Walters to get the need filled. It has to be O'Shea to look at Willy and decide if he is the right horse or not, and there have been a lot of instances where O'Shea's judgement has been shown to be lacking.
Its also Walters' job to make sure there is a back-up plan and that the team is in a position to succeed regardless of what his rookie coach thinks.

Ottawa's offense is just absolutely flying with Travon Van & Trevor Harris. But Van is hurt. But Harris hits Ernest Jackson for a TD. Watching Ottawa just makes me angry. How is it they can build a team like that from scratch in 3 years & we're still stuck in neutral? It's frustrating as hell.
No doubt and it all starts at QB. Give Ottawa credit for being greedy and doubling up on proven starting QB's. Walters should have thrown his chequebook at Harris instead of showing blind faith in Willy who has proven nothing other than a proficiency for getting hurt. Walters has gone all-in with Willy holding a 2-7 offsuit.

Think they are going to have to establish a run game first and then can go deep more. They didn't really do that until the third and that's when Montreal started to give up some yards. In the first quarter they need to run run run rum so the opposing D sits back more and then boom over the top. It's basic. Establish Harris. Do that and the O will be better
I also think thats a great idea, but if Willy cant hit the broadside of a barn.....We might as well just promote Flanders to QB and run the Wildcat

the worst 400 yards of offense in football history.
Cant believe we finished with 400+ yards in that s**t show. Seeing that would make people believe this game was close. Mind you Montreal might have had close to 600 if not for some iffy/ill-timed penalties.

Hmmm, something good, something good.......Well atleast McDuffie looks like a stud.

It was right in Smith's hands (not that the TD would have swung the game around)- he just didn't catch it.
Agreed it hit his hands and as they say, if you can touch it, you can catch it, but there was no touch on that ball whatsoever. It was a straight line rising rocket of a throw when some touch was needed. A soft back shoulder lob, not unlike Glenn's TD pass to Green, would have served better there.

I think Willy was a case of the Bombers brass feeling the heat after so many loosing seasons and brutal QB play by the seemingly never ending parade of garbage coming through town. I think they threw a dart at Willy, crossed their fingers, and hoped for the best. So far theyve missed the board completely.

It seems the team/city anointed Willy a bonafide starting QB a little too early. Ive never quite understood what the team saw in him apart from a fluky 5-1 start to his career as a "starting" QB when no one had film on him. Since then he's been either hurt or hot garbage. I honestly believe Willy won the lottery after the Bombers were spurned by Burris, Collaros, and maybe Reilly? They had no one else to hitch their wagon to other than Willy who showed some promise in spot duty behind Durant. Were paying him $400K for this? I know its game 1 in 2016 but he looked like a freakin' rookie out there. It was painful to watch. Happy feet, atleast 4 brutal overthrows on open receivers, no pocket presence or awareness, and seemingly oblivious to obvious all out blitzes.
A couple more games like this and the Bombers may have to admit a huge mistake.

Am i missing something?

Jerome Messam

Thank God.

Really? ALL the other WR's in camp, including the other ones cut, showed you more than Veltung? Ill give you McDuffie and maybe Sheppard but the other guys did nothing in my mind to unseat Veltung, especially with him already spending a year with the team. I guess the coaches saw something or maybe they just wanted more height or to save some money?
-
McDuffie i can see because of his return skills but to me its surprising they decided to keep Davis, Mayo, AND Shepperd over Veltung. Seeing as Veltung already had a year under his belt and did give the team another option at returner. I guess maybe they wanted more height to go along with the two twins from ND.

Pretty surprised about Veltung, Bucknor, and Daniels

Well if the passes werent sailing 5 yards over their heads maybe they'd have a chance.
