Just to not start an overreaction, I know this is part of the CFL.  We had a big road win last week and unfortunately after so many games when things go right, you often have one that goes wrong, and such was tonight.

 

But having said that, RichiHall's chickens have come home to roost again.  This D has to be able to step up and get turnovers at some point, and his refusal to call blitzes is preventing them from doing that.  And Ryan Lankford ... I don't have any issues with him returning kicks, but his play as a wideout has been awful.  Killing our offense when he's in there.  Dom Davis sure didn't tear it up but our guys were making his numbers worse with the drops.

 

I think we can still get home field for the WSF, but it doesn't look like we're ready to knock off Calgary yet.

I have it on good authority that the offensive game plan by LaPo is to score as many points as possible and the plan for the defence is to give up the fewest points possible.

just to expand on this... an anonymous source has informed me the Bomber plan to score at least one more point than the Esks...

if I reveal my source you'll never hear from me again...

Well, I sure hope that source wasn't Medlock.

Oh and that's not a knock on JM, just a hope that his psyche isn't jinxed.

I think it would be fitting if Medlock seals the deal for us this Sunday to answer the question  some posters here have been asking 'what have you done for us lately?'  

There is no other kicker I would want heading into playoffs, especially with the significant injuries our offence is dealing  with.  Even if Nichols is a go, how long will he last with that calf problem, hand issue, especially in cold weather?

JM  kicking eight field goals this game, defence  holding strong with one one pick six and a punt return for a touchdown will do just fine.

I personally have a lot on the line here in making some wagers around the office here in eskiblow land. I do not want to have to wear eskiblow apparel around the office on Monday to cover a bet.

Let's get it done Blue, we are due.

True though I'd prefer a double-digit win to not make it have to come down to that, even if it's not likely to happen.

Richie Hall had better thank his lucky stars Jackson Jeffcoat is on his team.  He's saving him from getting crucified at midfield at halftime.

Terrible Defense on 2 deep balls.  Richie Hall is single-handedly causing us to lose this.

FIRE HIM

FIRE RICHIE HALL RIGHT NOW!!!

Dropkick him off a building.  He can't get any assignment football going in this secondary.

Enough is enough of bend and break.

The players blowing coverage are more to blame but yup time to fire hall.

So then you want Walters gone? 

Man I am imploring everybody in the Bomber brass to rush Hall off the edge of a building right now.  This is an utterly ridiculous showing of this defense.

Nothing is going to change my mind at all.

 

FIRE RICHIE HALL RIGHT NOW

Enough of his garbage defense.

No. Our D has been the issue all year. They have given up huge yards every game. Hall needs to go. Eff off with Walters or Oshea... 11 and 7 followed by 12 and 6 = They stay.

Why are you defending hall then?

This regime also has zero playoff wins. 

But hey, if youre happy just to have a team and winning is meaningless, cool. I respect that in a weird way.

As soon as that play clock hits zero I'd drive him outta IGF

Clearly Hall will go after this season,   no need to freak out at this point or get mad.    1% chance he comes back and they'll let him go after the Grey Cup is played when the season is quiet and hopefully we move in a direction where we don't play such a soft zone.

There've been people who shoulda been fired before who weren't.  He better be fired and it can't come soon enough.

I'm keeping this thread going until Hall gets dropkicked outta here.  His defense is such an embarrassment to football it's Etcheverry bad.

Richie Hall gtf outta Winnipeg right now!!! You're a disgrace to Bomber football.  Worst DC ever to set foot in here.

Lol. You just dont stop. Its ridiculous. We get it.. Theres 20 plus pages of you repeating the same stuff.

One of those deepballs he had the right coverage called, cover 3 would have had that perfectly but the DB bit on the shallow route and missed Bowman running the deep route.

Certainly we all want Hall fired today which won’t happen. He won’t be back obviously.  If he is then everyone else is crazy.

Im not. But bottom line is missed tackles and blown coverage are on the players. Maybe if we had a MLB.

That's no excuse.  He's an awful DC who must get dropkicked outta town NOW

Yup....fire Hall......but the players in back 7...not nearly good enough...

The reason I want it today is to make an example outta this buffoon who has ruined this defense.
