Pressure in Alexander’s face. You love to see it.

So I’m on the side line Saturday with the other season ticket holders bringing out the Canadian flag for O Canada. I’m minding my business, The head coach is like 200 yards away, but this man has EARS so big they probably pick up satellite radio. My girlfriend squints and goes, “Why does he look so angry? He looks like an off-brand Gargamel.” I panic. I’m like, “SHUT UP, HE CAN HEAR US.” She laughs, until he TURNS. Not walks, not jogs. TURNS.. Next thing I know, this man is SPRINTING toward me like I just bad-mouthed his favorite protein powder. Before I can react, this dude snatches my toque straight off my head like it was a turnover he could challenge. I’m stunned. My scalp is cold. My girlfriend is praying. The coach is standing there wearing my toque with a stupid grin on his face. Then security pulls up like “Sir, is there a problem?” And this coach, this MASTER MANIPULATOR, instantly transforms like he just activated cutscene mode and goes: “Problem? No, no, this is my best friend, my BROTHER, my day-one from preschool. Look, I’m just borrowing his toque because it’s cold. Right, champ?” I’m still processing the ear-to-sprint timeline, so all I manage to say is: “Yes” Security nods and leaves. Coach pats my shoulder like I just got drafted to his emotional support roster and walks away in my toque, humming like a Disney villain who just got the magic amulet.

Not too stick up for Zach but I saw a reply of the interception. There’s only two receivers running routes, like yeah Zach needs to eat it but he’s not getting any favours by the play design or the offensive coordinator.

Our punter might be the star of the game.

Bad O line, terrible schemes from his OC, and average at very best receiving core, ZC is washed but he’s not getting any help.

Looks like Revis led with the helmet..

Agreed. That was actually a great throw from Zach.

Seems to be a trend with Zach. Has an outstanding game where he takes what the defense gives him and mixes in a few deep balls, followed up by play where he just can’t help himself but chuck it deep, it’s frustrating, as a vet he needs to know better.

Vaval is a beast!!

Hope we don’t have to hear about good punting today! Need the O to be better next drive.

Interested to see if Wheatfall gets back into the line up after the best game of the season from Zach.

Winning the turn over battle, and dominating the trenches, I remember the years when the Bombers would routinely do that. Who would have thought that correlates into wins!

Pickett was gone and in Ottawa the year Jones lost his job and Mcmannis has been in Toronto just as long as Jones was in Toronto so no that has nothing to do with anything. And yeah Tony Jones and Kyrie Wilson would absolutely be starters in this league on other rosters based on their play this year.

Meh he was good in Toronto, lost his job there, couldn’t crack a spot here, it’s not like there wasn’t an opportunity here to some degree because Younger likes using several linebackers in his schemes. Woodbrey who started lower on the pecking order surpassed Jones over time and just had an outstanding game.

I don’t think Wheatfall was ever the problem. He’s a decent receiver but I feel like the receivers we rostered today fit perfectly in what Zach can do. Guys that can run routes and catch the intermediate balls. Wheatfall was an okay deep shot receiver but not a great middle of the field catcher, but now Wilson and Demski can both stretch the field and Sterns is a great at those shorter routes. I think the wild card is obviously Dillion Mitchell. By far his best game as a bomber. We need more of that if we’re going to go on a run.

Honourable mention to the play calling. This was the best called game since the opener in B.C? Very creative, played to Zach and Brady’s strengths and we couldn’t be stopped all game, loved the screen passes, shovel passes, and mix of intermediate routes and when to take a chance deep, and when to leave it to Brady to play bully ball.

One of the best rosters they’ve had all season. Feeling a little more optimistic.

Yeah I think it’s funny how it’s just taken as a matter of fact scoring will increase significantly, I see it the other way where instead of long field goals you’ll see a lot more corner coffin punts. Do you really think all these teams will be going for it around the 40-45 yard line? I doubt it.

There’s not much we can do 14 games into the season but we can admit that Hogan is in over his head. Fire him and let Jarious take over. He’s more than capable with his experience to implement a quick turn around.

Biggest issue low key, how many times did the pocket start to close like I’m talking very slightly and he stopped going through his progressions. If his first or second read aren’t there he isn’t keeping his eyes downfield the field and that’s a problem.

Honestly Brady was great considering everybody in the stadium knew who was getting the ball on first down. He had some very tough runs against a good run defense.

Not really. The special teams have been outstanding and the D has been great minus the first drive. But yes the O is absolutely putrid.

3-7 in last 10, lost three in a row, grey cup year, we should be making all the moves to get the best players we can on this roster at all times, looks like Walters and O’Shea are asleep at the wheel, what do you expect when O’Shea is talking about performances from 6 years ago, I don’t care what what you’ve done six years ago or six games ago. If you’re not getting it done, get off the field.

https://3downnation.com/2025/09/16/mike-oshea-defends-chris-streveler-with-zach-collaros-limited-in-blue-bombers-practice/ this is the problem with O’Shea he’s literally talking about Strevelers play with the Bombers 6 years ago. We don’t have 2019 Chris Streveler on this roster. Yeah he was never a great passer, but he used to have the speed and power to be one of the most unique players in the league at the time but hes not that player anymore. Not even close.
