  6. Official LDC GDT: Game Day, We All Play!

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    Seriously though, this is our year dammit.

    Hell, I maintain that we win last year if we didn't have the worst quarterback I've ever seen playing.

    And no, that isn't just emotions talking or anything like that.  I'm not just talking about how Alex Brink and Justin Goltz weren't great.  I'm old enough to remember the garbage after Dunigan and before Khari.

    I remember Chris Vargas, TJ Rubley, Kevin McDougal, a washed up Kent Austin, a wasted up Reggie Slack, etc, etc.

    People liked to rag on Dinwiddie having a noodle arm... I've never seen a professional quarterback make a sideline throw look more difficult than Brian Brohm. Dinwiddie had a cannon by comparison.

     

  10. Bombers @ Alouettes

    That's what makes these penalty challenges such garbage.  The last interference challenge by the Bombers gets upheld, fair enough, I can get behind that.  But five minutes earlier Adams got called for a weak PI that would never be deemed "not pass interference".

    You go by the letter of the law and both plays are clearly pass interference, and yet..  It's a very broken system is what I'm saying.  Not sour grapes or anything, Winnipeg benefited from it @ Hamilton and it was stupid then too.

  11. Nicholls's Potential Bonus

    they happened to win the job out of training camp so are you saying the coaches just picked names out of a hat err...?

    The difference between the protection has been night and day since the extra import slot has been used on the o-line.

    Nichols has earned the starting job and nice long leash to go with it, but anyone who doesn't realize Willy was in a brutal situation with immediate pressure on him every play is out to lunch.

    We're winning. How we win to me doesn't matter. At the end of the season the number of wins don't come with caveats or asterisks.

    You know what though, in a way it has to me.

    Yeah, if the Bombers have a W when the clock shows 0:00, doesn't matter to me how that came to be.

    But it isn't just the wins, the last 3 games this has looked like a downright competent football team. I was at the Calgary game at IGF and it was men against boys for 90% of the game.

    To me it's been the little things, such as Nichols doing a quick fake to the man swinging out of the backfield then hitting Denmark in the back of the endzone against Hamilton.

    It is very encouraging to see the Bombers put the boots to someone after being on the other end of it so very many times recently...

    I'm have trouble figuring out the point you're trying to make. Do you think that beating the other teams in the turnover race by 4 or 5 a game is sustainable or that every turnover was simply a great play by our defense that had nothing to do with anything their offense did?

    Winnipeg comfortably leads the league in takeaways. Sure, it would be damn near impossible to keep going at this clip, but the fact the team is causing turnovers is no accident.

    And let's keep in mind that the "backup" QBs we've feasted on are a mere 4-1 when playing opponents other than the Blue.

    Part of me says that two of the games were vs young QBs who were prone to big mistakes. But a bigger part of me says "the only thing that matters is that it's 3 wins in a row, and nothing can change that, so just enjoy it as long as it lasts..."

    I don't give a **** if it's real or whatever....there's been 3 wins, and could be a good chance to tack on a few more when we come back from break. Here's hoping....

    Exactly. The teams that have vultured us for years playing backups that never amounted to anything didn't seem too broken up about it.

    Is it really a win if your opponent had Justin Goltz under center? Past years standings say yes.
