Let’s see if Hogan and the offense can do anything at all in the third.

At least he’s a guy who makes the odd play. Earlier in the year we didn’t even have that.

He’s been let down in a couple of games this year with receivers half assing it at times (LaPo alluded to it earlier). Chris doesn’t help himself out though. He doesn’t process things as quickly as Zach (or even Brown) or throw with anticipation (he has to see things unfold before letting it rip). The pass to Wilson is a perfect example of that. If he gets to his drop and turns it loose, it’s an easier completion. Instead he holds it for an extra beat.

Two bad drops by Winnipeg receivers so far: Wheatfall in the first and Wilson there.

Cam Allen is ******* terrible.

Say all you want about the deteriorating talent on the team but Hogan is completely in over his head as an offensive coordinator.

To be fair, it's only a handful of people who don't know how to "change the channel". I get being frustrated. I get being disappointed. I get wanting change. Posting the same stuff in every thread, ad nauseum, gets REALLY REALLY old. If can take anything positive away from that it's that apathy hasn't set in and these fans are still passionate enough about the Bombers to express themselves.

Everything about this season screams Winnipeg (looking for a bargain). I’m glad I’ll be in Minnesota watching the Bears and Vikings instead of Grey Cup.

Just a a question (and I’m not giving Strev a pass) but do you think an offense, that has Dinwiddie’s fingers all over it, would look anything remotely like what we’ve seen this season?

Go Bombers!

Colour me not thrilled to see Wallace drawing in next to Kolankowski. He has tools but at this stage of their respective careers, Vanterpool is the better player.

That's just not true. He's got a better completion percentage than Vernon Adams, a hair behind Bo Levi Mitchell .. he's in the middle of the road (league wide) in terms of accuracy.

What I find incredibly frustrating is that people just don't acknowledge that the game plan we had week one (vs every other opportunity Strev has had whether in relief or as a starter) has been night and day different. Week one they let him run an actual offense and low and behold, looked pretty damn good. I'm not saying he's the next one or will ever be a great quarterback but you can't handicap a guy and expect him to be lights out. It only undermines any chance the offense as a whole has to be successful.

Poor guy. Loved Schoen and what he brought to this team in terms of toughness and talent - it was was a great combination. Back to back ACL tears though ... that's going to be tough to come back from as a receiver (if he does at all). I can't believe this organization trotted him out there again.

Well played sir. Well played.

Mark's joke went right over your head .. didn't it

PREEEECISELY.

You dug into a tweet from three years ago?

It's no coincidence that our offense looked best at the start of the year with: Bryant - Vanterpool - Kolankowski - Neufeld - Randolph. Every other combination they've tried has looked progressively worse. Wallace, for all the raw tools he has, was exposed in a big way last game and it doesn't help that he's playing next to probably one of the weakest (if not weakest) center's in the league.

I’d keep Stan as long as he’s willing to play. If a young guy comes in and beats him out for the LT so be it but even with his uneven play he’s still one of the better / best tackles in the league (and a strong voice in our room). Willie you keep. You just need a more disciplined, well rounded end on the opposite side of him. He’s got a lot in the tank still but he always thrived when he played with a guy like Jeffcoat.

It’s because they chose to gut the heart of the team all in one year. Moving on from Biggie, BA, Woli .. these are guys who yes, we should have been looking to move on from but also were leaders, been through the ups and downs of season and provide steadiness. Before was the topic de jour, I was talking about how we needed to find the next Bighill. Guys that oozed potential but needed a year or two of seasoning behind a guy who holds others (including himself) accountable. BA is another one of those guys. He’d lost some of his range but what you want out there is a guy who is confident, get others in position and communicates well with the secondary. Kelly. Parker. Allen. They aren’t that guy. Allen has been better than ANY of the other guys we’ve had back there all season but he’s still not good (yet?). If I wanted to watch a guy flap his arms in the air as a ball sailed over his head I’d rather have had BA back there this year with the leadership upside.

Put Cam Allen in the: not a great DB bucket. At what point does Younger realize he doesn’t have the horses to do what he wants to do on defense?

Bombers are pissing away a very winnable game.

Go Bombers!

The game day thread will be posted tomorrow. This and the Banjo Bowl thread are serving the same purpose. I’ll merge the two.
