  1. Strev legit QB.
  2. No Oliveira. No Collaros. Hmmm. Impressed.
  3. Bombers taking too many penalties in this game.
  4. Strevy on target tonight.
  5. Grreat drive! Wow
  6. He was reaching under his shoulder pad when he got up from the tackle - could be a shoulder or collarbone.
  7. Lots of unknowns. Bet you a Buck we win. Go Blue!
  8. Plus Trey Vaval made the club, who looked pretty good on returns, and ... cool neck tattoos
  9. Bombers won both pre-season games. I was wondering if there was a correlation between pre-season success and reaching playoffs and eventual playoff success. Going back to 2004 Bombers have won both pre-season games only once before, in 2019. Not getting too far ahead of things, but, we know the name of the cup that was won by the Bombers that year.
  10. Will they play? Smoke warning: https://weather.gc.ca/airquality/pages/skaq-001_e.html
  11. I agree, kick/punt cover and returns are not a curse for us. But for one side of the equation - most TDs scored - I'd venture to say this is because we had Janarion Grant in Blue & Gold from 2019 to 2023. And if you look at total yards gained on kick and punt returns since we let Grant get away, Bombers are just about the worst in the league. This, despite the fact we force opponents to kick to us more often than virtually every other team - credit our defence for forcing those 3rd down punts. Really, that is an opportunity squandered: more punts coming to us, but among fewest yards gained. Bomber fans see this intuitively - we are getting lots of chances to return the ball but often losing the overall field position battle.
  12. I'm interested to see how we line up and run edge plays and misdirection counters on a 65-wide field this year with a new OC who is steeped in the CFL ground game. Thinking we are going to see some new wrinkles on the ground and not just in Q4. I am trying to imagine how you defend against Oliveira, Streveler, Chris-Ike, and Peyton Logan (once healthy) in the backfield all at once.
  13. Wonder if it's a 2-way player/coach deal? No sign of Jarious Jackson this season - so, you never know, might be an opening for QB coach next year.
  14. Three of us heading to Langford for today's tilt between Lions & Stamps and to say hi to Buck. Wearing our Bombers gear, naturally https://www.timescolonist.com/sports/lions-ready-to-roar-in-cfl-preseason-game-at-starlight-stadium-10677687
  15. Sums up my original point exactly. He's getting $600k elite hard money (including $100k bonus Jan 15) but the club is no longer getting elite play from him. Bombers are hamstrung - paying more for a diminishing asset. I don't blame Collaros for taking the dough - it could be his last year so, y'know, take the money. But Walters should've seen this coming and done more to mitigate shambolic O line pass pro. With the OC changes, I could see ZC actually playing less this season and more emphasis on run and run-option. Backfield with Oliveira, Streveler, Peyton Logan and Demski with some creativity and misdirection gonna be interesting.
