11-7 says we must have been doing a few things right. When I read stuff like this, it's like we were 6-12 last year. We were a good team in 2016, and I think we're better than we were at this time last year. Did the other teams in the west improve as much? We will see.
I think it would be more accurate to say that we became a good team last year after we deep-sixed Willy and upgraded the O-line, and none too soon, either. I would be very happy if we trounced the Riders on Saturday, but I will not be desolate if we lose. It is still the first game of the year for the Big Blue and those are often weird. A good effort is mandatory, though and if our secondary gets torched again, I will not be happy. And, Mr. Hurl- eyes are on you.

Hmm, how should I put this?
Well, In a very loose sense, Chris Jones is to GMs, what Donald Trump is to Presidents...?
And his personality is roughly equivalent to flatulence in an elevator.

He's not playing on the offensive line ..
True, but the yards after catch are important.

Yeah a lot of waiting for the ball and having to get it standing still.
Liking this pick-up....traits of a dependable possession and yard stick moving National...with ability for a big play. Just what we need
I realize that the video clips were selective, but when I watched them, I saw only one instance where Wolitarsky ran over someone. A nasty attitude goes a long way in this league.

Has anyone else picked up on how much of an honour this is for both teams, to take the field on the 150th anniversary of the birth of the country we all love? Regardless of what we may think of the Riders and their fans, the rivalry has been a great feature of the game and the (mostly) genial sniping between both provinces. This is truly a once in a lifetime event and an inauguration of a great new stadium. Nobody close me had better die, because I ain't gonna miss this.

Yes, this is the type of receiver that fits in well with what LaPolice likes to run - 5 yard outs or hook plays to the middle all day long...
Nothing wrong with that though. Joe Pop made a living catching shorter routes in traffic. Addison Richards should get unloaded pretty soon if this guy signs to go along with Blasko. It's about time.
We should be able to get a nearly-full McDonald's coffee card for him.

Wolitarski looks to have good hands, good body control, not afraid of traffic, but isn't going to run away from many people. Maybe an Andy Fantuz sort of player.

reported that Bear Woods signed for $110,000 in toronto. He was an absolute beast last weekend, man i wish the bombers would have made a play on him. Thats less than Kenny Stafford money we gave him before cutting him.
Edit: box score had him at 3 DTs? That didnt seem right the dude was everywhere that game.I'm afraid that he and Jerome Messam are going to fall into the "ones that got away" category to regret.

It's his known scheme, but the number posted by DT is still surprising.
My first line of thought when I looked at that number the first time is that Jones is trying to give us least amount of footage of where the blitzes may be coming from as possible.
Like most things, scheming blitzes is not rocket surgery. If LaPolice does not know how to counter every variant of blitz, he ought to be flipping burgers. If the oline is too dense to respond, they ought to be turfed.

Stick your hand in a wood chipper for five seconds and you will still have enough fingers to count all of Glenn's wins as a starter in the last 3 years.
Are you daring to question the infallible decisions of the great and mighty wizard of oddness?

I heard an interview with Ian Wild today.He said that the Bombers defence is going to "simplify"their game. Whaaat???? i thought it was pretty darned vanilla last year.

Nice to see a career re-erected.....
Even if its that of a surrogate tackling dummy?

The exhibition game was absolutely no measure of either team. The biggest advantage the Bombers have is Chris Jones.

General rule of thumb in the CFL, first 2 weeks of the season are still glorified preseason.
That said, a stomping of the Riders this weekend is mandatory or we will never hear the end of it from Ripper and Kluchk.

If you saw the game yesterday, between the Ticats and the Argos, you saw what Zach Collaros is really like when you don't have
a) decent blocking and b.) a proper OC, you know, like the Bombers were like not too long ago. So, ask yourselves, would he really have been better here, with the lineup we were putting out in the past?
The previous lineup was definitely "putting out" because they were getting screwed every second play.

No wonder he has been referred to as "a speedster".

The Alouettes have signed former #Bombers QB Drew Willy
And here is the probable reason:
RT .@HerbZurkowsky1 - #AlsMTL have put Ray Drew, Anthony Sarao and QB Matthew Shiltz on one-game IR.

SJ Green has been doing that for years though, Arceneaux as well is allowed to do whatever he wants to dbs too.
It's really simple, you're a big receiver? Then go ahead and do whatever the **** you want, it's OK.
That's the Donald Trump approach.

In watching a bit of a replay on the game, its either really, really bad coaching or they just do not have the horses. Reinbold may not be a great head coach, but I do believe that he's not that bad. If its the players, we ought to see a big shuffling of the roster.
-
Gotta feel for Collaros. He's trying but he looks like a rabbit on the freeway.

Really like Calgary's Canadian receivers. Definitely the best set in the league.
Lamar Durant still nettles me that we let him get away, dammit.

Just now, Blueandgold said:
Neither one of those teams looked very good. I venture these will be the two worst teams in the league this year.
I cannot fully disagree with you but to be fair, it was the first game of the year. The Alouettes will have to compete with Toronto for title of "worst team in the East".

Are they hanging Chris Jones in effigy already?
