  1. In hindsight that 2011 team was completely overrated. Lost back to back games against the 2-7 Saskatchewan Roughriders, finished the season 10-8 after starting the season 7-2 or 8-4. A lot of playmakers on D but still allowed nearly 25 points a game. Offence was average at best. It just gets remembered more fondly because of how bad our team was before and afterwards. Fun season for sure but not even in the same league as any of the Bomber teams from 2016 onwards.
  2. Let’s go! Just win baby. Get to 6-4 and then we have three huge games against the Riders coming up so there’s still a chance to win the west. But it starts here. I’d feel better going into Labour Day at 6-4 then sitting at .500
  3. He takes some chances. I don’t mind him fighting for a job we need some help in the secondary with the injuries. He has a lot to prove fighting for a job so you hope best case scenario he comes in hungry and plays smart, worst case scenario he doesn’t cut it and he’s off the roster. Low risk move in my opinion.
  4. Have no issues with us bringing in Houston. I was the first to say I was ok letting him go to Calgary for the big money contract. With our injury issues I’m more than ok letting him fight for a job. He’s a good player.
  5. D looked good overall but I would have liked to see some adjustments from Younger. I get you’re playing to a two score lead late but literally all Crum has is the short pass. He can’t hit those intermediate to deep routes, the schemes were playing as if Dru Brown was in the game. I just would have liked to see them be a little more agressive.
  6. We only have 26 points in 9 games in the third quarter. No wonder we’re a 5-4 team. We’ve been out coached, out schemed and out played in nearly every single second half this season. It’s very concerning.
  7. I think we’re going to squeak out an ugly win. We’re usually a much better team at home. I’m not sure I have much confidence in this team right now but this is a winnable game, the place will be rocking regardless.
  8. Wasn’t his charges dropped? Also weren’t you just complaining the bombers didn’t pick up Anthony Bennet or Habba? I’d take a flyer on Houston. I don’t think he’s outstanding or anything but he’s more then serviceable in a pinch and if guys like Kelly and Lemon get a second chance I think he deserves one as well.
  9. I know we got the holding call but damn Demski really needs to catch that one.
  10. Someone is going to need to explain giving up the two points after the game is over. Completely unacceptable.
  11. So be it. Get the ball into your best play makers hands. Unfortunately we just don’t have that X factor receiver right now.
  12. I think he’s having a pretty good game. On pace for 300 yards and most importantly no turnovers, they’re clearly trying to get rid of the ball quick to keep him upright.
  13. I thought he definitely stepped on his toe as well..
  14. Think that’s a pretty weak PI call. They’ve let go of a lot worse this season..
  15. Tony Jones all over the field today.
  16. Glad they stuck with Sterns he’s become a decent part of this offence
  17. Two score lead at the start and 90 percent negative comments so far. Hilarious.
  18. ST and D looking strong so far.
  19. Hell of a tackle from number 6
  20. I don’t think he really played that well after the first three games. He got beat every single game. There was the thought process that because he had the INT’s early on he would be given sometime rope to hopefully get better but I remember saying to my girl friend at the game against Edmonton he was easily our worst DB but would probably have a long rope due to the two INT game early on in the season. I mean he was far from the only DB getting beat but he was never good in my opinion and definitely a weak link.
  21. To be honest I don’t really fault O’Shea and Walters for this one in particular. Seems like they liked him, gave him a chance to earn that starting role. Had a good first game, but was absolutely terrible afterwards. He’s a young guy so they gave him some time to see if he can overcome the adversity and he didn’t, and they decided to move him to the PR. I have no issues with giving a young guy more then one start to try and get better but the team has to see there’s consequences for not preforming.
  22. Just what we need. Another 5’9 DB
  23. Why would they care? Not a single job is up for grabs. They’ll be back on the field next week.
  24. I would say his rope is long however because this is a grey cup year and we don’t atleast host a playoff game or make it to the grey cup I could see that being a possibility .
