I think we're past the tuneup stage and into overhauling.

Everything old is new again.

That would plug one hole in the dike.

Yup- the front seven and the back five.

Offence a bit better under Streveler, but defence equally inept as last week

Always has been.

No bones were protruding through the skin, so....

I'm afraid you should have used the past tense in your first sentence.

A perfect storm of sucking, to be made worse when Collaros is wheeled out onto the field in a gurney to take the snap after halftime.

And, maybe his job as well.

What a novel idea.

As predicted, Stamps are clogging up the middle and presto: no running game. Can we kick 73 yard FGs?

Are You sure he wasn't playing safety?

Google "surstroming challenge"

Alexander has a great set of receivers. No reason for them to not be able to get open often.

Doubtless, she would describe that as a "small loss". But that's what you get for arousing her expectations but failing to satisfy her interest.

Not sure that getting into a sprint to 50 points with Adams & Co is a good strategy. Giving Oliviera 25 touches to win is going to be tough as the Stamps can stack the box. Gotta have a credible passing game or else.

LOVED IT! This is what the CFL is all about.

Yes, Zach could and should do better, but unless he can walk on water, no way we are going to win unless the defence plays better say, by about 1000%.

Totally logical...and a fantasy-. Ain't gonna happen.

Plus oxygen tents and AEDs on every sideline.

The other western teams have made significant moves to strengthen themselves, whereas the Bombers have largely stood pat. Admittedly, whether those changes will bear fruit remains to be seen, but at the very least, they have acknowledged that last year wasn't good enough and have made changes. Yup- so far Calgary looks to be better (way better, thanks to Adams behind centre) and Edmonton looks to be a basket case. Becoming quite concerned about Schoen. He is hurt again, and not just nicked on a day-to-day basis and when he was in the lineup did not look anywhere as good as before his injury.

I suggest that they are more emotionally attached to their jobs as not only are their incomes dependent on them, but also their egos. And most, if not all pro athletes are ego- driven. That likely applies to the coaches as well.

Hope is a poor stratagem.

We have no reason to believe that the Bombers will be as good as or better than last year. Key players are older, more injury-prone and will take longer to heal. We have the same head coach with the same M.O. as before and we have been trending downward. Moreover, our off-season recruiting has been less than impressive. To top it all off, all the western teams are demonstrably better- with the possible exception of the Edmonton Ungulates.
