For 30min. Because the last 30 minutes they gave up under 30 yards rushing. Also it's game 1....this team doesn't suck or excel at anything yet.

Those complaints are legitimate and bother me as well. Especially the choice of ball or wind. I was more so commenting on the in game complaints about the secondary or Offense etc. It's easy to complain about stuff during the game, but when watching on TV especially...there is just so much missing context. Multiple players commented on the weather after the game and how crazy the wind was. Watching on TV it didn't look that bad at all. The calling for firing of coaches or cutting players etc is just funny to me. And that last drive, the Bombers secondary was playing soft, but that was by design. People might not like it....but making an offense go 10+ (nevermind 15+) plays without a mistake will most of the time work out pretty well. CGY's O is no joke and VAJ and company executed damn near every play they ran. Bombers didn't want to give up the quick score and they didn't. Yes it almost cost them, but I'm not mad at that strategy.

If the mayor is starting over Dru....wtf was Dru doing during TC? Trying to play flag football? What horrible O the redblacks have.

100% lots of negative Nellys reading through this thread, especially during that last drive. They gave up a drive, but CGYs O was executing at an extremely high level. Bombers weren't going to give up the big play quick score. If Cgy wanted a TD they'd have to do it via a long drive and no mistakes.....and they did. Welcome to ******* football. It happens. Would I bet on that happening more than 2 or 3 times in a season...no I would not. Thats a big ask for any offense. Dave Dickenson isnt a rookie and Vaj is a good qb. The hyperbole here around coaching during the game while we watch on our couch is hilarious on many levels. As soon as Vaj ran that ball in for a TD at the end, I had instant hope. Once ZC hit wilson I knew it was over! Saying all of that, it wasnt a perfect game but game 1's never are. Get stuff cleaned up and this team can make a lot of noise.

The way they used Clercius in that 1st pre season game....even though it wasnt for long...had me excited. Finally getting him closer to the ball. Hopefully his injury isnt too serious and hes back sooner than later

History still has a hold of me...hard to see a dominant win in cgy. I think its close much like last night.

World cup effect apparently Im honestly confused by such definitive statements like that. Specifically when you have little to no idea what the offense is. Im not even saying that you're definitely wrong, but "no matter what" lol. Why are you even going to watch?

I like his competitiveness too. But I don't think he'll be the best as long as Rourke is around. It's hard to ignore Alexanders W/L record, but I just don't see the same pure arm talent, and his defense got him out of a few jams last night including giving him essentially 10 points. It's close, but I'd still put Rourke above him. Give Rourke the MTL defense and the results are likely similar. I guess if you want to ignore all of Banks' production on O. Has Grant ever passed 300 yards rec in any year? Banks is far more accomplished as painful as that is for me to say

I want the ball in the hands of our best play makers. I don't care how it gets there. Brady makes **** happen whenever he has the ball, especially if it's in space.

I'd also add the Brady is as much of a rec threat as he is a running one. I really hope he's utilized more in the passing game this year.

I think Begelton will be a shadow of his former self. That was a pretty serious injury he had and he's still not ready to go. He consistently struggles to stay healthy and he's no spring chicken!

Exactly. If this offense is supposed to rely on Collaros putting it up all the time...it doesn't matter who is out there to catch. It won't work.

I envy other teams who would not be impacted at all by their top 2 receivers going down in a single game. I can't believe the Bombers are the only team that would have that problem. Welcome to 9th place!!

Nope...he got rocked and did a little flip.
