Well ... this thread shows me who is here to actually talk football and who is here to I don't want to say complain so let's just call it.... ***** about the bombers regardless of a win or loss. I mean really... we won the Damn game.... because for the most part we were the better team. But I guess that's not important to some people.... some would rather ***** about how we won.
Bottom line.. we got 2 points. They got none. All bomber fans should be happy with the win.
Just curious what those bitching about the win would say I'd this happened to us instead?
Also.... let's stop pretending that the command center was wrong and ppl watching on TV were right.
I thought it was a fumble - we were lucky to have the call go our way on a very close play
I really don't give a damn if that makes me a complainer
The people in the command centre are human beings

HH The trainers that got Mo Leggatt back in the game.
Seriously Mo Leggatt is the Defensive player of the year in the CFL and it's not even close.
SAM linebacker, kick returner, and you can put him at safety & heads will roll there - hell of a ball player

ehh the rangers are choke artists in the play offs. And the jays have allready scored a ton of runs. And with sanchez going to the mound next it could well be.
It would bode well for the Jays - get that rotation rested up

I wore the same pair of underwear during the streak. I may have been dumped, lost all my friends and been fired but the team won 7 in a row.
I'll wager there were fewer kids raising their hands or coming to your desk

I hate this argument with a passion. Pros make obvious mistakes all the time. Who here believed that the Argos were better off going with Ray than Trevor Harris? What did the Argos do?
Plenty of teams have hung on to a vet QB because they thought he'd take them to one more championship. But That still doesn't prove that the Argos made a mistake with Willy.

When it comes to Drew Willy. Yes. Yes I am.
Or are you taking the hilarious position that GM's are infallible? You know, like the Pope?
Nope, just think it's better to let things play out and not assume we've got it all figured out.

This is such a canard. Just because another GM has made a mistake on Willy doesn't some how give him real value. He's been the same garbage in Toronto for the first 1.5 games there, and there's no reason to think that will get better.
Yes, I'm sure you're a better QB evaluator than Milanovich

Every QB gets Sacked a bunch. Every QB gets hit. I'll bet he got hit a ton in college also. It's part of the game. Plus his injuries weren't exactly the result of getting Sacked or hit... it was the result of well..... basically just playing a sport. I mean it's one thing to say he's been hit or Sacked but to say that his injuries were a result of that? I dunno. That's like saying sasks oline was at fault for Durant getting hurt when he basically hurt it all by himself.
His injuries were fluke injuries. I'm a Drew Willy fan but it's pretty obvious at this point to even me that perhaps Drew Willy just wasn't as good as people thought. Slow release combined with not very good at scrambling.
Drew Willy just wasn't as good as some of us thought he was.
The bombers actually gave him chance after chance to show he was a good QB but he never really rewarded them did he?
Drew Willy screwed Drew Willy
You know who gets hit more than Willy? Mike Reilly .... but he gets up and continues on. Drew Willy never could. He's just mentally weak and you can't be mentally weak as s QB.
1. We had guys likes Picard and Morley getting beat snap after snap
2. Reilly usually gets hit when he scrambles to extend plays. He has a very reckless playing style - that's not on his OL
3. Given what the Argos gave up to get him - they are clearly of the belief that Drew Willy can still be effective

They didn't start slow last night. They got a TD on their second possession. The Eskimos then get ball and proceeded to march up the field and score. That's on the defense.
In that particular instance, you're right

Turnovers be damned- it comes down to winning. The biggest knock on LaPolice before was his painfully conservative play-calling. The appraoch you describe works well with a dominant defence to complement it, but our defence has sprung holes.
TBH I don't expect him to change anything. I expect next week to be 'more of the same and let's hope it works'

And we have consistently been the worst red-zone team in the league- does this fall at the feet of Mr. LaPolice?
Partly. But I think his play-calling is predicated on minimizing turnovers. I think if he ran an Esks or Stamps scheme with the players we have, there would be more turnovers.

Um, the offense has produced plenty of yardage and points, especially in the last two games. The O gave the team a chance to win last week and the D couldn't hold for 20 SECONDS and this week when the D needed to lock down they folded like a cheap tent. When your D is giving up nearly or over 100 yards a quarter and taking terrible penalties you don't win many games. People made a big deal about the turnover ratio in the streak but fact is by the last few games of the streak that ratio was dropping and the Bombers were still putting up wins because the defense and special teams were producing. Now the defense has taken considerable steps back and the offense, which is not an all star blockbuster offense, cannot catch up. It's really simple defense simply cannot give up nearly a game's worth of scoring in the first half to give this team the best chance to win.
Yes the offense can improve but we have known that all year but let's not fool ourselves that our defense is this team because they have surrendered tons of yardage all year. The turnover ratio allowed people to turn a blind eye to our defensive shortcomings.
Agreed, except that you can't ignore the slow starts by the O and the lack of red zone production, which many raised during the streak.

This is exactly the game I expected from us the last time we played Edm. This team... The one that played tonight... Is an East Division, Goddamned Awful, not deserving of praise in any way, team.
This is the same team that had a 34 - 0 lead at the half and had Reilly looking lost out there...
Listen to yourselves..,

You need to include Dressler fumbling the ball on the 2 yard line, that certainly didn't help.
Those are exactly the kind of plays that were going the Bombers' way during the winning streak.
-
This the same D that won 7 games in a row. They give up a ton of yards but they 'were' getting turnovers. It's time for the O to step up and be the reason why we win once in a while. It's like a good hockey team winning in spite of the goalie having an off-night

just learned something, thanks. multiregional origin of modern man.
It's funny how long it was accepted that human life began in Africa and people spread from there - no other possibilities considered

If they came that way, it was later when there was actual plant life. The Inuit, for example, were the last group to migrate, which is why they could survive in the North
I don't think they should discount the idea that human life evolved on this continent. However, you can't ignore the similarities to Asian DNA

I think you guys are pointing fingers in the wrong direction. That defensive performance falls on the pathetic pass rush more than anything.
When they drop 9 into coverage the onus is on the secondary

I watched the game again this afternoon - same question...
