I don't get the coach's infatuation with him. Heck, Kramdi would be a great improvement and that ain't saying much.

Sure but that was Kelly who couldn't tackle initially.

Someone should drop a hint to Kelly that he can use his arms and hands to tackle sometimes.

Love the hyperbole. Similar to anyone you can think of?

America Wilson looks more engaged this week.

We're talking 60 minutes here not a week.

We ain't going to win a track meet against these guys.

Would you still say that if we didnt score a major?

Kelly making a good case for STs

Now, there's a blast from the past!

Sure, it turned out well in the end but what dumb ass penalty to take.

underthrown!!!!!

While I agree that coaching is a major issue with this team, another (major?) contributing factor is the lack of quality Canucks in starting positions. Sure, Demski and Oliveira are fine but at safety and other receiver spots, not so fine. We are a team of very good ST players (Canadians in particular), on O and D not so much.

I was cautiously optimist at halftime. The O was motoring at least by current Bomber standards. The O-line was playing well, heck they were dominating. They were opening up holes for Oliveira and, perhaps, more importantly giving Collaros time. And, the D was playing surprisingly well. But, WTH went on in the Bomber locker room at halftime? I've watched a lot of Bomber football over the years but I don't think I've ever seen (at least I can't remember) a 180ºer like that one. Something has got to give. Someone (several) should be relieved of their duties. This "experiment" of Kelly at Safety has got to end. He is slow and slow to react. He's a career STer, IMO. And don't get me started on our receiving corps. I will anyway. Aside from Demski (who is ageing out a bit but still darn good), our Canadians are downright terrible. White is solid but throw in what seems like a disinterested Wilson and we have what is the worst or next to worst set of receivers in the league. There are all sorts of other issues with this team....coaching including play calling, a QB who has lost his touch and voila! we have a recipe for disaster. There are more tough(er) games upcoming so Ws are going to be few and far between. I've reached that point. I've lost faith in the organization. I'm thinking that not making the playoffs is a very real possibility. They were looking so good to start a game for once. Is there an emoji for"gives his head a shake"?

An overthrow by Collaros but Wilson's effort was pathetic.Given his recent performances, Wilson might be released by some teams.

what the hell is with this soft zone crap?

I really like Demski but when he's your number 1 receiver, we're in big trouble.

Agree about Kelly. He looks like a 6 year old on an adult body. Slow and very uncoordinated.

Wow!

the no yardage call on punts seems to have gone the way of the Dodo .

There are many things wrong with the current roster and coaching staff but I think that a first step in the right direction could be made by adjusting the O-line. To my eye Bryant, although a future hall-of-famer, is way past his prime and, if O'Shea is not going to bench or cut him, something as simple as swapping the tackles might help out (Broxton to LT and Bryant to RT). It may not work but I'd give it a try as it could save our QBs a lot of grief.

I got into a bit of a discussion with a poster on another forum about the Bombers’ defensive play. I suggested (might have been stronger) that Ball and Kelly, while good ST players, should not be on the field taking regular snaps with the defence. He disagreed, saying that I was too quick in my judgement of Ball given that he had just returned from injury (and was reinjured) and that Kelly was looking pretty good at safety. So, it dawned on me that the Bombers seem have a lot of ST players on this team, perhaps too many. I had a look at the official CFL stats, last year’s and this year’s only. Through week 11 last year, the Bombers were 5-4 and the CFL stats package had their defense ranked at #5, while their STs were ranked at #2. By the end of the 2025 regular season the D had moved up to #3 and the STs took over the top spot. (I didn’t bother with the O.) This season through week 11, we’re (guess what?) at 5-4 with our D is ranked #6 and our STs ranked #1. It will be interesting to see where both are at the end of the season but I’m hoping though not overly optimistic, that the D can move up a tad and the way the STs are playing, I’d guess that they’ll still be at or near the top. I guess what I’m trying to say is that the Bombers seem to be really good at drafting or finding ST players but maybe are not so good at drafting or finding really good players for the other 2/3 of this team sport. So, IMO, Ball and Kelly are fine on STs but please keep them off the field for defensive purposes. Anyone with thoughts on the matter?

We're goong to blow this one, aren't we? And, I'm out of here.

Not only is Younger the DC but he's also the DB coach. Yikes!

What are our other receivers doing out there? Cobb, Nield, Daniels. They must be doing a lot of blocking.
