Mr. Perfect Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Outscored 42-9 in fourth quarters so far this season. Opposing players saying on national TV you let your foot off the gas. As I said last week, this team is never going anywhere as long as Lapo and Hall are collecting cheques from this organization. They've both been fired MANY times for a reason.

Eternal optimist Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Tough loss; but honestly we stole one last year at home in the regular season on Harris' ghost-fumble. We gave it back to B.C. this year by once again failing to close out the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lulay was a CFL MOP. Jennings has the athleticism but not the smarts to even come close to winning a championship. Right now, he's just another athletic qb that may never win anything.

Tracker Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) This was a replay of the western semi-final of 2016, and it took a joint cluster-flack of the offence, defence and especially the coaching to produce another epic fail. This is getting too old, too fast, and it is time consider if the O'Shea-LaPolice-Hall experiment is over. I cannot see a record of better than 9&9 for this year.

Noeller Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I felt, going into the season, that BC was our most comparable opponent. That holds true. There was a lot to be mad about last night, but considering how many important players we were missing, I'm not as upset as I could be. Wild, Leggett, B Johnson and Fogg all make a big difference if they were in last night (though kudos for my boy Knoxers for having a great game)... Have some concerns about our offense in 4th Q's, but it is what it is.....we'll look much better vs Montreal next week. Sard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judd Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Lots of overreaction here I think. A game on the road against an upper tier team coming down to the last minute of the game? There's worse ways to lose. .500 after 4 games is pretty much where everyone expected us to be. mtl, redblacks, ticats up next. We very well should win 2 of those games. We need to see some adjustments, but this team looks better than it did after week 4 of 2016, remember.

The team/coaches are making the same dumb mistakes as last year, and if the talent is upgraded, it will make no difference if the coaches do not smarten up.

Mr Dee Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 So, Winnipeg is a terrible team for losing a game to BC, who are now 4-1? But then BC must be a terrible team too, because they gave up 42 points to an average team? Which is it? A very entertaining game between two heavy weights, in a game that could have gone either way? Or a battle of the bottom feeders who have no business playing in the West? Really, one play separated these two teams, and you can pick whichever one you want. That was the difference between winning and losing. Im disappointed, but far from disheartened. We will win our share of these...just not last night.

What annoys me the most is this attempt to be on a pragmatic position of high ground. Did anything about last night give you reason to believe we've progressed? Any of our games really. We almost lost to the Riders and Calgary promptly lost to Montreal after bleeding us to death slowly. It's the same issues with this regime from day one. Terrible play calling and decision making and a general lack of high end talent. But make no mistake, a competent coaching staff delivered us a win yesterday.

TBURGESS Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 When I looked at the schedule I expected us to be 2-2 at this point, so it's not any surprise that's where we are. It was a very entertaining game last night, but the same stories keep repeating. Slow starts. Get ahead. Take our foot off of the gas. Let them back in. Win or lose on a late FG. Quite frankly, I think we should win every game that we put up 40 or more points. Tracker, MOBomberFan, Atomic and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm laughing at all the fans who for some reason expected Winnipeg to be an elite team this year. Yeah we finished 11-7 last year but it easily could have been 9-9. This is a middle-of-the-pack team. You don't turn into Edmonton or Calgary overnight. It takes years. Right now we're in the fight but if you expected us to be blowing out teams like BC then that's just a silly expectation on your part. Go cry into your pillow if you want but don't expect to be taken seriously here. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walters was hired in 2013... that's not exactly recent. We're in a 9 team league where there's significant roster turn over. The RedBlacks started from 0 in 2010 and won the Grey Cup last year. We're very fortunate to be 2-2. Our schedule isn't as soft as people would suggest considering we started against the SSK Toilet Bowls, had an injury decimated Stamps at home, and Toronto. This was really our toughest game so far and even then their #1 QB was out with injury. No one is crying into their pillow but your post is a great example of where we really need to bridge a couple of factions on this forum. There's a large segment of us who are shell shocked from decades of sucking. I mean, just stop for a moment and consider I was able to use the word decade plural there. Appreciate that and then try and understand where we're coming from. Last night is another symptom of a team who seems to want to win on the cheap. We cheaped out on our coaching staff and it's yielding some pretty lukewarm on field results. So let's just consider where we go from here. The Riders are better this year make no mistake. Edmonton is probably going to win the division, Calgary is still solid despite injuries, and we saw last night that BC is still better than we are. We have to start seeing some progress soon or this will be just enough middling year. I mean who knows maybe then we make the playoffs again and like Ottawa fluke ourselves into a cup win but without home field that will be hard. Then again look at our home field record and maybe its a good thing? Sorry for such a disjointed response. Stickem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
