Say what you want about the other forum, but no one there has ever said "don't go to MBB, our site is the real one and we are better"

Actually what you said was "Prukop has never shown anything".

Yes he has. He's shown that he can consistently get the yardage required when called upon, which is usually a yard or so. If you're saying that Pigrome is a better QB at "real QB play", maybe, but that's entirely irrelevant. Third string QB's job on an O'Shea team has one job and one job only: dive and get a first down/TD. Maybe occasionally make a QB throw or other athletic play. Prukop has shown he has that ability in spades. To be clear, we are in a win-now mentality. Go for the sure-thing. We are not developing the future at this position. It's the same logic as cutting Legghio for Sergio. This is coming from someone who's actually pretty m'eh on this move, but the defensiveness shown for a QB who showed well in pre-season vying for a position we are not developing is perplexing.

Actually, I think that is too much to ask. With injuries putting out a skeleton crew in the secondary and nullifying our DL rotation, something's gotta give. Throw in the intangible of the fact that the entire team decided to completely **** the bed and that's what you get. If our offense wasn't so bad last week, the game would have played out differently as well. When we played the Riders and gave them 27 points and 6 million yards of offense, I was ok with that because that's a Richie Hall defense compromised with injuries and leading to more points than we'd normally give up

I'm excited for Parker but Holm was just awesome last night I thought. It's the corners where we need help. Would love to have Rose and Houston on the field at the same time. Agree about the DL comments though. We need more of both serviceable (don't have to be superstar) DTs and DEs just so we can get back to rotation and keep pressure high on every play with fresh legs.

I actually have a lot of thoughts and WTFs about this game (including not one but several of the Schoen targets) but after I outlined a whole post, I realized that the entire team just inexplicably sucked and it's not worth my time to write out. This wasn't a case of "if these few things were just executed properly it would have been way different". We completely didn't show up and BC completely did. Wow, been ages since we looked like the pre-August '16 Bombers and maybe we all have so much PTSD that it hurts way more to watch that. This is purely a case of flush and move on.

I'm a transplant here because the other forum is down. Haven't been here since it happened last, during our incredible '19 playoff run to the cup that broke the drought. Great forum over here, and some of the members even seem tolerable. I set the donuts on the table next to the door where I came in, so don't h8.

He's not a bad QB by any means and he will burn us once or twice for sure........but that's kinda it, I think.

Did Marcus Sayles give our offense an ice cream flavour designation yet?

I'm very unimpressed with BC this year and have never been a believer in VAJ. Maybe I'm off base and "they'll show us" or we have an off game in one or more phases, but I fully expect a resounding win for the home team. TBH I'm not even really nervous or anything. If everyone comes to play, we win in dominant fashion. We can't beat ourselves, though. BC sucks. Bighill will be chowing down on VAJ all night. Plow through a crease and go after it.

Same. If we don’t win our unthinkable third in a row, I will be so disappointed lol. Got greedy these days. but my attitude stems from the fact that if we lost, “we beat ourselves” because we are undoubtedly the best team in the league.

I'm not superstitious but OMFG WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT

Hey did Walker sign here yet?!?!?!!?!? j/k PS: Hi. Haven't been here since the epic GC win.

I proudly wore my Swaggerville shirt every week that year. It was a very fun year - an oasis in a dessert of horrible years. It was flanked by Doug Berry's unceremonial ousting after a terribly diappointing 2008, the Mike Kelly fiasco of 2009, and the 4-14 Lapo/Mack rookie campaign, and was followed up by an even more disappointing 2012 that saw Lapo unceremoniously shown the door, the most disastrous year in Bomber history that I know of (to christen a new stadium, to boot) in Burke's 2013 year, and O'Shea's extremely forgettable first two years here with Drew Willy and no stinkin' playoffs. I don't understand the flack that the 2011 group got for bringing a little fun to what was otherwise a very dark cloud over the franchise. These years encompassed most of my fandom, too.
