do or die

This will be interesting...Hamilton won't have ZC, but they are a pretty physical team....the kind, we have struggled with. Bombers will have to crank it up to match. At times, we still look pretty soft, all round... If they do that.....winnable game.

Never mind the other team....why don't we just make some plays?.....a lot more of them, in fact.

Front 7 isn't working either.....

If I had a rocket launcher......

Bombers also wanted to save some money (Glenn bonus)

To say nothing of import OL.....

Yup, we replaced "fragile" Kevin Glenn with.........Buck Pierce. No lie.

At the moment.....I am not apologizing to any member of the Winnipeg Blue Bomber organization... period.

Actually, number of pulled hamstrings....sprinting to the locker room....

Well, that plan will not work with the lousy run blocking.....as Harris is finding out

Wade seems like the type of guy who would get pretty tired of empty seats.......

Go for it. We rule when it comes to re-cycling re-cycled coaches.....

Player may get in there sooner than later......

I have somewhat, the same problem with posting Odds and Sods.....

Of course, the GM, HC and the rest of the coaches, who are being gradually prepped for execution......will be simply hanging around, and doling out milk and cookies....to their oncoming and in-house replacements..... Why didn't I think of that.....

Ok, so people like to come and play for MOS. Problem seems to be the playing for him, once they are here......

Inexperience surrounded by re-recycled coaches does not appear to be a winning formula.....

As far as my own "negative" approach..... The bottom line...... Bombers overall play is not getting it done, and the results are falling far short (yet again) of any reasonable expectation..... This makes it pretty difficult to accurately report on the play, during games...or make any kind of evaluation of some (ok, most) positions on this team....without it being somewhat "negative" in both content and tone.... Believe me....it would be far more satisfying and for that matter, fun.....to be able to toss out plaudits, lolypops, and be able to stick out my chest more often. Instead of having MY team a figure of fun, or an object of pity.... The fans do their part...... in investing money, time, and emotion in their team. When "payback" in the form of good play and winning doesn't happen....there will always be a letdown. No amount of BS, excuses and wishful thinking will fix or compensate for this.... Particular when the light at the end of the tunnel has not become visible to the naked eye, just yet......

All these good players on paper.....yet nobody did nothing. Something is broken here.

What really bothered me, beyond Willy's inconsistencies......was how many facets of this team, just didn't do a job, out there. Run blocking was abysmal, blitz pickup is a sometimes thing.....along the with soft coverage and weak tackling on D. Our vaunted DL has 1 sack in 2 games. Only halfway competent area, right now is special teams...... Overall, we look soft, disinterested, and not real coached up. Not seeing a lot of fire and purpose out there. When the game is actually on the line (first 45 minutes, in both games)....we are simply dictated to, and dominated...on both sides of the ball. As far as this "preparation is fine" stuff from MOS.....the simply dreadful starts, suggest otherwise.

Mack is long gone....... But the excuses live on....

Helps that we tackle like one-armed bandits.....

Just trying to keep it semi-positive.....

Blue have nice first drive....but fail on fake FG ....followed up by missed passes, drops, missed blocks.. ...and naturally, two and outs.... Macho blocks punt to open 2nd quarter... .....Posey takes it to the 5...... Nichols punches it in... Bombers score first TD of a game......light at end of tunnel - 7-3 Bo Levi Mitchell 18 yd run...on a 3rd and 1... sets up field goal... Next Stamp possession....very easy 70 yd TD drive...... Stamps get ball back..... another BLM TD pass.... 17 Calgary points on 3 straight possessions... Soft coverage, in back and missed tackles everywhere...... The Bomber O?....2 and out...wash, rinse, repeat... Blue finally get it going near end of half.......... ....but somehow run off 12 seconds on final play of half..... ....to deny Medlock a long FG attempt.... Incompetence dies hard.....as Stamps up 20-7 TOP was 20:39 to 9:21... and not for us.. The Stampeders horse left less crap on field, than Blue.... Hey, but there is always the 2nd half, right? Stamps take ball...with opening drive for FG..... ...followed with 70 yd TD drive... ...while Bomber D put on a tackling clinic.... ...as in how just not to do it.... ANOTHER Stamp TD drive...36-7 at end of 3rd Q. 33 unanswered points from Calgary.. But there is still good ole garbage time ...which is now.... the new Bomber specialty. Sure enough....82 yd drive.. ...Adams with TD catch. Willy follows up with another drive... ....and TD pass to Jace Davis...now 36-22 Willy actually ends up near 300 yds with 2 TD's... Most of it... in another 10 minutes of big time football.. Once we figure out that other 50 minutes... ...we are golden... ..but right now...fans are simply blue Control the ball? Harris 8 yds rushing.... Messam 138 yds Defense?....Stamps ....500 yds on O. Clock management? Lets not go there... Bombers have now lost 13 of last 14 in Calgary.... Let the (usual) excuses fly.... ...and the gin flow....

Well, he is a much nicer guy, than Joe Mack....
