USABomberfan Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Well, we need Toronto to win this game to clinch a WSF home date. But it's unfortunately 7-0 Edmonton atm. Toronto needs to have somebody besides that goofball Marcus Brady call plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's where recruitment comes in. Calgary lost one of their very best players at the start of the season. They lost a few others to injury, some of their best O-linemen to other teams in free agency (Denis, Bryant) and the NFL the past few years, yet they still appear to have the best talent and depth in the league. Our depth has improved, but our recruitment needs to be better if we want to compete with a multitude of injuries. As it stands, I think Edmonton has more injuries to key starters than the Bombers this year so if they meet in the playoffs there is no reason the Bombers can't win a semi-final game. Finals are another matter obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's enough time for at least some of them to get healthy, and perhaps Lapolice to start being more agressive on playcalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 On the OB pregame show, it was reported that the Bombers have had the fewest player-games lost to injuries, so I guess we were due. Leggett went down after falling to the ground catching a short kickoff, so I think its likely he will be ok. Our receiving core was barely good enough before Adams went down, so it looks like we are in trouble there. blueandgoldguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have what, a month? That's not very much time for injuries that look to require surgery. Flanders hammy *might* be a candidate for an early return but the fear there would be tearing it again. Hamstrings can be a ***** to get healthy again. Agree completely regarding Lapo's playcalling. He needs to be less mad scientist and more Bill Billichek.

That looked completely harmless but it finished him. Sorry to sound like Debbie Downer here and I hope you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looked completely harmless but it finished him. Sorry to sound like Debbie Downer here and I hope you're right. You may well be right. What gives me reason for hope is that Leggett seemed to have gotten his injury when already on the ground as opposed to when he jumped contracting his Achilles tendon. Someone I knew who sustained one of those said that the instant it happened, it felt like someone slammed an axe into his calf/ankle and he did his while leaping in a Tennis game. He described the pain as overwhelming and instantaneous. Leggett's injury may be as serious, but at a glance, it seemed to be different reactions. With a torn Achilles' tendon the attending medical staff immediately try to tape the foot so that the toe extends downwards to relieve any further damage to a partially torn tendon or muscle. At least that was the way it was done then. Edited October 15, 2017 by tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ankle sprain (particularly a high ankle sprain) or a broken metatarsal can hurt like crazy, too. A lot of things in the bottom half of a leg. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? Seriously we are 11 and 4. We have 3 games left. Edmonton is 9 and 6. 3 games left. We can finish 14 and 4 if we win out.. Edmonton can at best finish 12 and 6.. We have 11 wins... If we win any of our remaining 3 games we get a home playoff game. blue_gold_84 and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
