C'mon, people... Its almost Noon! Let's get it going! 

BLM has never lost at IGF... Seems like a good day to break a bad streak. 

Stoked to be home for my first home opener since I last had seasons tix in 07. Gonna be a great night at the barn. Pregame pints at Barley Bros then let's kick some Stamps ass, yo!

All that gin...and for what?

The numbing

You're not going to stop an offense like the Stamps with scubs like Hurl, Briggs, Roc and the likes in the lineup, eventually Mitchell will will just eat those guys alive and he did.

As for the offence, when you don't stretch the field you become to easy to defend.

10 9 at half... Could have been 20 to 9... We kept Calgary in it with turnovers... They woke up cuz they are a very good team and Nichols and the O went to bed.

All it says is we were bad.. One was a pick 6 also. Maybe we should have made adjustments to make sure nichols doesnt make bad decisions. 

Just saying, the pick 6 was a beautiful disguised play by the linebacker, Nichols never saw him. We did nothing to fool the Stamps in the second half, we ran the same plays as the first, you can't do that against a good defence.

I think with 100% hindsight, letting Burnett walk was a mistake, the LB depth is weak.

I dont buy the halftime adjustments crap.. Unless u were in the room... Which none of us or walby were today so really its a cheap bs excuse. Bottom line.. Calgary was just better... We were just bad. 

Calgary outscored the Bombers 20-0 in the second half.  Also dominated in yardage and first downs.  The first half was much closer.  Whatever changes they made clearly had an impact in the second half.  I don't buy that crap that adjustments in playcalling after the half don't make a difference.

They are just better than us.

Yes, they are better than us for many reasons...one of which is coaches who appear to make the superior halftime adjustments.

5 turnovers doesnt help. Nothing coaches can do when guys just have a bad game. 

Our Oline has looked bad way too much last 2 games.  Nichols getting rocked early then I swear to god he started playing like Drew Willy. The receivers let him down a few times,  but what an ugly game offensively save for JFG

How many TD's has Carmichael allowed in 2 games, must be 4 or 5?  Same story every time, he back peddles until the receiver blows by him then gives chase but never catches up.  Enough already.

Carmichael ain't getting it done,  I think it's time for him to go

Put him in Wilds LB spot now... He was very good in pre season at LB...

Please get healthy Bruce Johnson. 

We were terrible in the second half, especially on offense. Lankford is not a good returner. I still personally hate the LaPo offense.

3 to 5 yard passes when u got deep threats like dressler adams Washington is just mind boggling

If Lapo needs 8 yards, he calls a play for 5, need 5, he calls a play for 2.

We got out coached badly. Nichols played a bad game. Our special teams wasn't special (we need Fogg back badly). Our offensive line got schooled several times by a make-shift Calgary d-line...

Frustrating how we keep losing to Calgary. Not sure if their team personnel is better than ours, but their coaching definitely is. Unfortunately if Bo Levi Mitchell has a less than stellar game, it doesn't seem to matter as the rest of Calgary steps up. Very frustrating. Oh well. the year is yet early. Let's hope we keep improving and beat them in the playoffs.

with how bad Nichols was at hitting his receivers tonight, and the drops when he did hit them... not sure going deep was going to work. I think JFGs TD grab was the longest reception of the night and mostly due to the YAC

Couple things:

1. I wonder how much of this is Hall's schemes... I remember last year Johnson was a bit of a whipping boy, now everyone seems to be clamoring for him to get better.

2. Carmichael was awful - on top of getting eaten alive, he was the one called for offsides on that 3rd and 1 that gave Calgary another 3 cracks at scoring.

3. We need to be more aggressive on play offensive calling, it's the difference between playing to win, and playing not to lose. I also didn't like the call to take a knee going into the half.

Disappointed in how they lost tonight, such as no points in the second half,  but yes season is still young and were 1-1.  I think its actually better our weaknesses are being exposed early as we have a lot of time to fix them.  Much prefer it now then to suddenly find ourselves late in the season with a bunch of ?'s

I thought Hurl got called for that,  I might be wrong tho

 

** edit  sorry your right,  looking at the PBP it was R. Carmichael.

It was Carmichael.  I don't care if they have to bring Jovon Johnson in for the next game, they can't expose Carmichael to Ricky Ray.

It was the Roc. The dead giveaway there is Hurl is white...

At the stadium they called #4 (Carmichael) - its entirely possible the refs just got the wrong number. Hurl would make more sense as its usually guys on the line that get called offsides in those situations. TSN's detailed log has it listed as Carmichael as well:

Tsn sportscentre showed it.. Number 4 was definitely offside.. By about a full yard
