  1. I have concerns with Houston’s consistency considering the preseason games, Lawrence just repeating the same mistakes over and over (he’s gotta be getting roasted in film), and Darby getting pulled this last game brings his position into question (based on his shitty performance I don’t think it’s injury). It will be interesting to see things play out. I do think rose will be back soon since they’ve said he’s running at practice.
    I still think we have some of the best DBs in the cfl and it’s been exciting to watch.

    Look to when our dline was dominant and disruptive...ws a regular rotation of 7..8 guys...why we moved away from that is bizzare.....Parker is the 2nd best DB we have...and physical so when he is back, I can't see him not back, as we need his tackling ability's...Muhamed is much the same kind of player too with some physical edge to him...and has experience...I get the Holm love and he makes the odd nice play....but people gloss over his miscues...he offers no physicality and his tackling isnt close to Parker, and I could care less about Osh's comments about his feet....especially when he trots some guys out there on defense at times saying they are starter quality but in actuality they aren't, but sticks to his narrative of it ...his at times unwavering allegiance to some foot soldiers I think cause they been here a while....put in their dues in his eye..whatever it is....is a major achilles heel

    played hurt all yr last yr....and when was almost healthy in last game or 2...and playoffs...played well...and fact of matter...unless we bring in another Alford or Nichols is prob one our top 3 db's....plain and simple...2 our top DB's are parked on the IR right now....and I dont think its a stretch to say when up to speed Muhamed will be one of the top 4 with them and Nichols

    Agree to disagree 🤷‍♂️

    I don’t think that’s a fair assessment, it looked to me like he hesitated because Zach threw him back towards the middle of the field which is probably not where that ball should’ve been. I didn’t see him slow much off his release, just tracking the ball in flight. 

    Could it be maybe he needs a break to recover from this injury that’s kept him from practice for the last 3 weeks? Lawler will be nice to have in there to get him some rest. Any idea when that will be?

  4. Aussie punter. No barbie for him. Or Grant. But straight to the barbie for failure to tackle by our special teams the whole game. (Edit to add that Hallett looked good on ST speed)
     

    Our Nichols and Holm were the only guys in the secondary that looked good. Everyone else was trying to do too much..ba, Darby, Lawrence, abu…yikes I think I named just about everyone else…


    Aba and Clements looked good again. Have liked their effort. 

     

    I don’t know enough about Canadian offense to have a strong opinion about why our waggle wasn’t wagglin…but yikes all around on O last night. Always sad to see a QB get tossed like that. I’m a huge Brady fan, wish they’d have ran more, considering passing was a no go. 
     

    Is that 3 games without using Piggy? Why use our qb2 on short yardage.. it’s like they don’t trust him since his last show

    Dropped 4 gimme picks too...I guess the first one for Holm was simultaneous catch.

    His second was punched out so I wouldn’t call that a gimme pick but I would call it a good PBU. 
    Really thought Darby could have had that one in the end zone.

    Wonder how many views this game got. Bet it’s big. The two best games of the season in the league are both bombers games lol. 

    Didn’t have to request the channel at BWW in grand forks, it was ready to go.

    yup...We lacking that with Parker out with our DB's...He very physical and a good tackler...Our boy Holm...even with all these apparent accolades and gushing over is a waif...gets lost in heavy traffic and isnt physical at all...hence my disdain

     

    Actually if you look back over the last few yrs Rose comes up and supports the run, and has taken down a lot of guys in the flats or on a bubble screen very well in a solo capacity...He has no problem coming in and smacking a guy

    Holm has a rugby background, they tackle differently. It’s been effective. They really only look for “blow up guys” in the safetys anymore. He had a phenomenal game. There wasn’t a DB out there that didn’t have a mistake or two, but it’s still damn near lights out.
     

    I coached D1 in the US for 10 years.

    Back on Riderfans...section 139guy. That should surprise no one really. lmao. Pretty sure he has 2 accounts and is actually RileysRompers as well so that he can make it look like someone agrees with his outlandish statements of delusion.

    Should we be looking for something in his tweets?

    Yeah ******* technology it took the wrong link. I changed it.

    I've noticed teams are following the Bombers lead and taking the run game a lot more seriously lately, quite a few teams have brought in fresh new RB's that run with power instead of recycling old worn out scat backs that mostly try to dodge tackles, as in years past.  A number of good ones have made their appearance this season including Hills in Hamilton.

    Tuning up for the playoffs the Bombers are going to have to cut down on Bighill's other responsibilities so he can get back to MLB basics, shutting down RB's before they reach the secondary.

    I'd be happy to see McRae and Olivera out there more 👍. My anxiety is always better when the ball isn't in the air.

    For what it's worth apparently Willie Jeffersons wife went into labour at kick off time so that could explain his lack of focus.

    Anyways, I'm hoping this was an anomaly. Roster mismanagement, no rotations on +31 humidex day in steel town probably isn't a recipe for success.

    Riders come to town on the 30th and I hope we spank them good.

    She had made a story during post halftime in the hospital joking that the stress of the game put her into labor, so no I don't think he knew until after the game
