This is true as well. If ZC plays it smart and doesn’t force deep throws then it improves BB odds markedly, IMO. Still going to be very tough today.

I’m really torn on Elgersma. Part of me wanted him to succeed in the NFL because it would validate we can develop good QBs in CIAU football. The selfish fan in me wants him to come to the BBs and wildly suceed, our own version of Russ Jackson, if you will. OK, I’ll get back into my straight jacket now.

Why is everyone assuming Schoen won’t be playing on LD. According to Hodge and the FP, he is expected to play.

I have to laugh regarding Castillo: when he makes a kick my buddy yells out “Gulf of Mexico”. When he misses a kick it’s “Gulf of America”. A lot more Mexico this year.

I guess you just focus on the -ve in my comments, completely ignoring my complementing him on adjusting his game. To clarify: ZC isn’t the player he used to be, especially on deep throws. I’ve been advocating for him to develop more of a mid to short range passing game. Last night he did that successfully and I’m pleased to see it and hope it continues. I acknowledge we don’t have the WR core to help him out. There, feel better now?

Cut the BS. I was actually happy with ZC play last night. ZC took what the defense gave him and I admire him for that. He’s had to adjust his game because he isn’t the deep thrower he used to be. I’ve been advocating for him to develop more of a short to midrange passing game and at least for this game he did so successfully.

Bombers need BradyO to be their best player in order to win. ZC is a shell of his former self but at least he isn’t forcing as many deep balls any more and takes what the defence gives him. I’ll take the win and hope Demski and Schoen can play on Labour Day.

While I never hope for an injury to any player, the BBs would be in a better position if Alexander isn’t ready to play. I will now plan my eternity in hell.

BBs QB situation is a mess. As bad as Collaros is he gives us a better chance to win than with Streveler. Here,s hoping we can get some young QB that has potential to be a legit and competent CFL starter in 2026.

I agree Goalie didn’t say they were elite, that was just my editorial on the issue. They have a lot of improvement to make in order to play their best ball. I’m not advocating for firings but the coaches need to improve their play selection and decisions in order to get the team to a contending level.

They got pummeled by a crappy Argo team so the BBs are in no way elite and not a GC contender at this point, IMO.

Agree here. Plenty of times last night I saw oline not block the man right in front of them resulting in a -ve play for the offence. Guys are missing assignments. I’ll take the win but lots of issues to deal with. Coaches making stupid, risky decisions is one of them.

I don’t mean to derail this thread but is anyone else seeing on the Bomber main page, a bunch of threads for support phone #s for several different organizations. Oh, and the Bombers sucked Saturday. Streveler improved but still not good enough.

Time to dispel the notion that Streveler is a starting CFL QB. Quality backup noting more.

Well, that was embarrassing. About the only Bombers who had decent games were Clercius and BradyO. Everybody else stunk.

I anticipated much better games yesterday. Both were duds, IMO. Ford is stil a work in progress at QB. Seem to only have success running with the ball or scrambling then making a throw

Absolutely tragic. Condolences to the Stegall family during this difficult time.

I only caught some of the highlights but listening to the Sask colour guy ***** and moan during the fumble TD return, made my heart leap with joy

Elgersma signing with Packers today. per 3Downnation

I haven’t seen anywhere that the BBs have actually signed Connor Shay. Is he participating in NFL tryouts, or is his signing just a formality prior to TC. Didn’t see him on the rookie camp list either. or maybe I’m just crappy at researching this.

Looks like he brought a whole pharmacy with him for the tests.

I don’t take a deep dive into prospects too much, but I’m ok with this draft. The only change I would have made is to draft Findlay over Smith in the 2nd round. It will be interesting to hear Walter’s comments on Elgersma. It seems they think he can be a bonafide CFL QB down the road.

BC forfeits their 1st and 2nd round draft picks for 2024 salary cap violations. $350K, wow!

O man not good. D Houston charged with domestic violence.

Lawler is great for the highlight reels but tough to get persistent production out of him. If Schoen is fully healthy I would take him over a healthy Lawler. I have a feeling we may see O Wilson back at least early in the season.
