This is a very good offensive team. It's been a bad defensive team all the years O'Shea has been here. We've never had a DC capable of ever building a great defensive team. Until that happens this will never be a great team. deepsixemtoboyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 They were pathetic tonight. Hamilton handed our asses to us. Hall and his France circa 1940 D need to go. Lankford and Hurl too.

But as it stands we are 2nd best... But.. Once playoffs roll around.. All bets are off.. A team who was 8 9 and 1 won the Cup last year. Never said our D was good either.. They arent.. They are 8th ranked in a 9 team league.. They are awful and will be our downfall Edited October 7, 2017 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, 10-4 projected to finish second gives another week after the regular season & then it'll be over. That'll be it. We all see it.

Obviously they do but u not gonna fire the DC with 4 weeks left. Listen.. They **** the bed tonight.. It happens but the last 2 weeks they held their opponents to under 20 both games... Tonight they royally sucked... Big step back for the D but they have shown they can step up when it matters... Tonight the whole team sucked. Its not like Edmonton BC or Sask are some sort of elite super teams. Edited October 7, 2017 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepsixemtoboyd Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Tonight's outcome was hardly shocking. All season long a very steady, effective, if unspectacular offence led by a quarterback with who is certainly the best, statistically speaking, in the CFL this year has propped up a bad defense. Our offence has been good enough to sometimes even make our bad defence almost look average, although mostly not quite. So, when we lose that very effective quarterback there is suddenly no one left to bail out the defence and it is shown for what it is… Fully exposed. It is a defence that virtually always gives up massive yardage, both pass and run as well as huge tracts of time of possession, and a lot of points. The most alarming thing about all this, though, isn't the fact that this repeats itself week after week (which, make no mistake, is alarming) but rather the way the blue bombers seem determined to drink their own Kool-Aid on this. Last week, for example, MOS goes on and on about what a spectacular game the defence played. The defence was good in the first half last week but still gave up over 430 yards… That is not a spectacular showing, no matter what the coach says. Yes, even if Chris Randall makes a hell of a play to clinch it. 430+ yards is still 430+ yards! The fact that coach and others in the organization continue to insist that they don't care about yardage or points surrendered makes no sense. Just like it makes no sense to claim that you actually prefer to work with a middle linebacker who makes almost no impact plays because, after all, "he does what we want him to" and he "mugs up to the line." No, the bombers have had success this year in spite of the defence not because of it. The offense's overall prowess has served to paper over the massive blue bomber defensive problems, but actually only to the blue themselves (and their most devoted blinder-wearing followers who confuse uncritical adulation with support). Until MOS and the blue bomber brass accept there is a problem and set about doing something to solve it, we will not end the 27 year sojourn in the wilderness. And that makes me sad. Because I really love the bombers. And I think the offence and guys like Nichols and Harris and Leggett are certainly good enough to be champions and deserve more.

The Unknown Poster Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Bombers are a good team despite terrible D. And they win. But they will never win the big one with Hall. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
