  1. When Lapo posted all that stuff, breaking down the Bombers' D last season, that is not how Hall ran his D. Harris was also used a lot as a receiver, especially when Nichols was under centre.
  2. No, the D has changed. Richie Hall's D relied a lot more on pressure. Younger's is more coverage based. The change is not as recent, but the O no longer runs primarily through the RB, both passing and running, the way it did when Andrew Harris was starting.
  3. It can't be as clear cut as this either. Man, this is a very cynical take.
  4. D like Samberg are the bedrock of good teams.
  5. There's a number of players other teams would sign if they could: Demski, Oleviera, Dobson, Vanterpool, Nichols, etc.
  6. You know it wasn't. 2019 and 2021, this was a damn hard team to play against. They physically beat other teams up.
  7. Speaking as a long term hard core fan, this is true. It's easier on the psyche to expect less during downward trends. Of course you also get occasional surprises, like 2019 and 2007.
  8. First, I'm not shitting on you. Some fans pay more attention to the team, that's just how it is. But one thing is certain: if performances like those we saw this past Saturday keep happening, the casual fans will vote with their feet. It has happened before, it will happen again. I remember attending a game at the end of 2014. Attendance was poor, and everyone but the die hards was there for the beer. The game consisted of watching Henry Burris and Co. shred our secondary. There have been some major warning signs. I mean, losing a Grey Cup to Nick Arbuckle - that's quite glaring if you stop to think about it.
  9. That's what has me stumped...we still have the same HC. And Younger was solid at DC last year.
  10. Yep. Ckeaned it up, banned the bots.
  11. I agree. To me it looks like teams have clued into schemes and/or inferior talents at some positions. OL, Receiver, maybe DL - I can understand why there would be challenges there. But the secondary was dominant last year, while the LB corps was certainly adequate. These guys didn't suddenly forget how to play football. Kick cover is as good as ever. The running game is solid and could be dominant if the passing game were more of a threat. Whatever is up with the secondary needs to be sorted out. And in my opinion the offense needs to revert to a more ball control type of game. They DON'T have the OL to make ZC's beloved deep shots work consistently. With some adjustments, this could be a .500 football team. Just my realistic 0.02
  12. It's scary when look at who the Argos were starting on OL and at QB. If they'd ground out a close win, that would be one thing. But the Bombers never even had a chance to win. And I'd say the casual fans have clued in by now.
  13. Just popping in to say...I'm as disappointed as any of you. I get that things are said in the heat of the moment...but some of the posts making poking fun at the Case injury...be better
  14. Absolutely. If this continues, Manitobans will vote with their feet. Hotdogs and beer can be had anywhere.
  15. A good veteran backup
  16. No one picked Montreal. May as well call a spade a spade - O'Shea is to blame.
  17. IMWT regurgitation. I mean hey, why not? On second thought, show yourself out. 😁
  18. Exactly. Other than the a few games where ZC connected on several deep shots, this has been our O. When an opposing D can limit the downfield stuff, it's not pretty
  19. I meant it as a positive
  20. And, as usual, they have done a ton of off season recruiting
  21. Interesting. Who's he going to discipline?
  22. Check out Hamilton's DL, just for starters
  23. I'm 40 yards from the LOS, but imma rush the QB!
  24. Speaks volumes.
