Castillo not having his usual game....so far.

Liked that we got some pressure on Arbuckle. Good start for D.

Streveler not even looking at a second pass option. Assuming that's what OC wants. Nit impressed by first series.

Does Mitchell get his full salary now that he's on the PR?

Source, please.

Ok. That makes sense. It was worse yesterday. My wife passed on her regular Tuesday morning golf. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Hallelujah!

Disappointed that practice was canceled today. Understand that there's smoke in the air but my wife and I did 18 at Larters today and she's got Sjogren's Syndrome (Google it.) and she had no problems handling the air quality. These pros gave to suck it up...pardon the bad pun.

Are you saying that the team doesn't make the time to practice 2pt converts, onside kickoffs, etc? If true, that's a damning indictment of the coaching staff.

Who would have thought that we'd be yearning for Buck to be back as OC?😊 I won't argue with that.

Always appreciate your perspective. However, I'm not sure Steveler, given enough rope, is the answer. He might win the odd one but while I think he's got a strong arm, with his mechanics, I don't think he can be consistent. He's, imo, not patient enough in whatever pocket may be available to him. If his first look isn't open, he tends to get happy feet and vacates. And, depending on which way he goes, there's a tendency for inaccurate across the body throws (another one almost intercepted last night). I realizer Streveler us next man up but I'm ready to see more of Wilson.

It is baffling as I don't believe (any more) that he's injured. He's got some size (6'1") at least relative to the current receivers and he was decent for the Elk and multi-dimensional (returned kicks). A head scratcher.

Have to admit that I uttered a few f-sharps at the TV while watching the Bombers blow up last evening. A few observations: I checked the TO weather forecast before the game and the rain was predicted. The way the team was playing it looked like the were not prepared for the conditions. Vaval carrying the rock like he thought he was the Lincoln Locomotive. He's not and the resultant fumble is not just on him but on the ST coach for not pounding "protect the ball" into his head. The D-backs were playing too far off the receivers resulting in, well, a lot of Argo receptions. And, to me it looked like the Bomber defenders weren't wearing the right footwear for the soggy, real grass field. Too far off and a lot of slip sliding away. A lack of preparedness? Kolankowki has got to make sure that he has a grip on the ball. Parker, although he was slipping a lot, was still starting off in the wrong position. Too often he was moving away from the play so he wasn't much of a back up. I realize that he's a pretty good tackler but I think that S is not his position. Do we have anyone taller who might be able to step in? Given what's happening at the corners, can Parker slot in one of those spots. Tony Jones is not the answer in the middle of the LB corps. I think that he's too slow as is Kramdi, who also has developed a case of tackle-itis. The other Jones....Jon, is stagnating on the "one-game" IR. Surely, he can be fit into the starting lineup at one of the LB spots. The D-line played better last night. I think that there was more rotation going on. It took six games for the coaches to figure that out? I feel badly for Case as that may be a season ending injury. However, perhaps a guy like Mitchell can now slot in. He was a solid player for Edmonton and aside from being a sure-handed receiver he's also a reasonable kick/punt returner. And, what's the deal with Logan, also on the one-game IR since the season started. Sure the O-line wasn't at their best but, to me, it seems that Collaros is "too slow" and Streveler "too fast". Collaros can't get the ball out fast enough and Streveler is too fast to abandon the pocket. And, what's with all of his cross-the-body throws? There's more but I'll leave it at that. End of rant. P.S. If the fans can see the flaws in the Bombers, I'm thinking that Miller does, too. Is it time for him the call an all staff (coaches) meeting?

I'm getting a bad Carnac The Magnificent vibe here so I'm out of here.

That might be on the safety.

For some reason, Parker, our safety, went to the wrong side of the field. He is not a safety!

Unfortunately I think the replay showed that it was correct call.

Carrying the ball like Leo Lewis. Unfortunately, he's not a Lewis.

At least, we're only down by a FG.

Anyone notice the size differential on the td play. Coxie looked like a giant relative to Bonds.

We're not looking prepared.....at all.

Couple of things. On the Bomber 2nd down play. Sure, the C was put of position but BO also missed that guy and on D, Parker looked lost on that gimmick play.

FWIW: Bomber starting receivers: Wheatfall - 6'1", Clercius - 6'3", Case - 5'10", Demski - 5'11", Sterns - 5'8" Stampeder starting receivers: Jones - 6'3", Alford - 6'6", Rhymes - 6'4", Brooks - 5'7", Philpot - 6'0" Bomber starting DBs: Bonds - 5'8", Nichols - 5'9", Parker - 5'8", Holm - 5'11", Bridges - 5'11" Stampeder starting DBs: Johnson - 6'2", Arnold - 6'1", Webb - 5'11", Grant - 6'0", Greene - 6'1" I've drawn some conclusions from the height discrepancies.....

Stop already. You're making too much sense.

Three guys who didn't play well....hmmm, throw a dart at a roster sheet but here are three who come to mind: #9 Bridges: He was picked on all night. The Calgary receivers tower over our D-backs. #17 Streveler: Will he ever be ready to take the controls? I'm leaning towards No. After that pick 6, I expected Wilson to take the helm but alas no such luck. #95 Thomas: Well, he was out there and he's Canadian. Anytime I see two of our Canadians on the D-line, I give my head a shake. There are plenty of (dis)honourable mentions but they are too many to list. And a 👎 to our coaching staff. The team was ill-prepared for the Stamps. Our coordinators might be in over their heads. P.S. After a couple of years of Sheahan's punts, I still don't get it.
