Yeah. What they are doing is basically giving so many different looks for coverages/pressures that the QB can't really trust their pre-snap reads and if they do they will likely be putting the ball in peril. So they are slowing everything down for the QB (in a negative way), giving receivers basically no space to operate, so the QB's are holding onto the ball a lot longer than they want to. Essentially the entire second level of the D and safety could do almost anything on any given play...to put it really simply. From the first two games I think they will need to mix in more pressures. And they did last year. A little heavy on dropping 9 over two weeks and BC was settling in. Could be a little less predictable if they amped up aggression just a notch sometimes before the ball is in FG range.

Bombers +8 on net punting over Lions in the two games. Sheahan's net through 2 games would be 2nd in the league last season. But yeah, Bombers suck right?

Give Collaros the Game 1 OL and let's see. Streveler had near zero pressure on dropbacks, a bit of pressure on some RPO/rollout stuff they did because he's running stiff off the knee injury. He also put the ball up for grabs a bunch in those conditions, especially in the first half of that first game. He has a decent deep ball with no pressure and moves it out quick. Almost no intermediate game which Collaros lives on. The OL is the problem right now and the big difference on O between the two games. There's no consistent 4-5 yards on the run at BC, it's a big run or basically nothing. The Game 1 OL we had that run game with some bursts too, but Peterson was getting 3-4 yards before first contact almost every touch.

And would you rather have Vanterpool at LG (for 70 snaps on O) with Wallace and Eli in reserve or Wallace starting, Eli in reserve and Kyrie Wilson on the field for 30 snaps on D? There's no real logical way to justify dicking around with the OL when it's basically the heart of the team. It stops beating, you're dead. You can figure out how to deal with a deficit at WIL or field corner or WR...not at LG or any OL spot.

Yeah most of Toronto's line that we couldn't handle last year.

7 yards a carry to 4.7 yards a carry by our running backs. Pass protection went from perfect to near zero clean pockets tonight. Not blaming Wallace, but there was really no reason to mess with success.

It's a matter of protection. Yeah he's not what he was in 2021. But the protection is not good enough and far worse than it was in 2021 too. It's been getting progressively worse. He needs a clean pocket. You build the team to do that. It's the only way we win. You figure out kick coverage, catching punts, whatever spots you need to, but you get a OL out there that can pass protect with whoever you need any roster designation.

Our offense is so thin in terms of Canadian depth. You'd have insert someone taking BO off. And we basically only have Americans who are at game health. Otherwise you're running a O with 6 OL, 6 receivers and 2 running backs. I don't know who they have to be prepped to play both ways, but would be kind of nuts to get stuck playing either Chris-Ike or a 6th OL every play with a couple injuries. Demski's ankle is on borrowed time, Clercius is already dinged, Schoen is fresh off ACL. Really need to think on Ayres IMO. I also don't know what Kyrie Wilson brings at this point. Don't think we need both those guys especially as we get a couple Canadians back in upcoming weeks who are strong special teams players.

I think you should look around at the QB's in this league today. Collaros is very clearly in the top third even when he has a below average game. Montreal arguably has 2 of the top 5 QB's in the league on their roster. I'd argue that. Their current QB is leading the best offense and their backup led the best offense in the league in the 2nd half of last season.

Chris-Ike has 0 carries in his career. Cooley had 7 tonight. Not really sure what the gripe is. What doesn't make sense is Wilson/Ayres instead of the starting LG. We have 3 Canadian LB's who can play and tons of ST depth. Throw the OC a bone and make Mike Miller take a minor hit to his crew.

How did you expect them to use Cooley? He's got 7 touches and has been out there more than 20 snaps. I question why you need Wilson and Ayres rather than a OL that steamrolled BC last week. I'm a lot more comfortable with Shay/Gauthier/Smith etc potentially needing to take D snaps than I am playing around with OL quality and depth.

I question the protection. Because it hasn't been consistent since 2022. Hard to judge a QB in the conditions tonight. He can't get set for many throws, he's gotta navigate pressure constantly, more often than not. Very different look than when we had the unstoppable O with consistently clean pockets. And there's no excuse to have American OL who aren't playing well. Even if they are HOFers. I didn't like disrupting the group that had a good game last week. Hopefully they can find consistency, because this is a OL that isn't going to win us many games tonight.

Why the **** wouldn't we take the 10 yards on the convert?

I don't know. I'm feeling a lot more concerned about Bryant than anyone else on O. Horrendous night by him. Hope it because become a trend and he can turn it around like last season in the fall. He's another that the 3 heads of the org maybe should have had the talk with.

Watch the LT. Only complaint on Collaros there is he should probably just take the sack.

I hope that was a RPO otherwise Bryant just took a steaming dump on the field.

Use a timeout FFS. You can't keep 2 anyways. Break up the tempo.

The dumbest thing for BC's secondary is we have no other receiver on that whole side of the field that is active. Demski cuts his route and is standing there.

Demski got a leg whip while blocking there. On the bum ankle.

Buck burns both his timeouts for nothing two weeks in a row.

Yeah nobody is covering them.

Are turnovers not automatically reviewed?

Willie moving in slow motion even at actual speed.

Our receivers and DB's always on the deep side of the 50-50 ball, bad leverage.
