White Out Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Not to sound like a debbie downer but I believe the odds of us winning a playoff this game are in the single digits. This defense is beyond trash, and with key injuries on offense I see us getting absolutely pummeled by Edmonton. Zero playoff wins since 2011. In a 9 team league. I honestly can't even fathom it, and while the west semi is in 2 weeks if someone gave me the odds I'd bet my house straight odds we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 No they've won nearly 25 games the past 2 seasons. They (GM & HC) shouldn't be fired. But the organization needs tweaks. Like replacing Ritchie Hall & changing the ratio as to where our 7 Canadian starters play. I'm concerned about our scouting as we just can't find impact Int'l receivers. That should be looked at as to whom is out there to scout the US. BigBlueFanatic and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandgoldguy Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 It's frustrating that this team's GM and scouts can't do a better job at finding quality Qbs, linebackers and receivers down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time we have lost back to back games this year, and mos is with in sight of .500 as a bombers hc. After that horrid start that is very impressive. Mos, miller, and walters are strengths, not weaknesses. Richie, and to a lesser extent plop are issues. Double agree on the ratio issue. Long term we need 1 more starting NI ol. Though westerman being hurt is a big blow to the ratio. Id argue that we do find talented wrs. Givens, thorpe and other guys weve cut that have been picked up else where. Our offense doesnt flatter or make good use of diverse offensive threats though. We under use flanders when healthy as well. SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it's going to be 22 wins out of 36 games. That's 61%. By comparison, it looks like Calgary will win 29 of 36 or 81%. To win as much as Calgary does we need to improve our winning percentage by 20%. Long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Grey Cups have the Stamps won (being such a dominant team) the past decade? They've choked more than they've won so dominant regular seasons don't mean as much as you think.

You have to be that good to even get a chance at winning a cup year after year and they are always right there. We are a long ways away yet. Some of you think because we've had a little success we are now a great team. Far from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy's argument, dismissing Calgary by counting only the last 2 seasons. My point was if they aren't winning it they're losing it but they're always right there.
