BigBlueFanatic Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Bit of both? The few times he got his hands on the ball he lost yards. Bad play calling plus Winnipeg defenders ready for him all game long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe how little Trestman uses the run though, especially when he's got two import backs dressed and a kinda thin receiving corps. Bombers never really had a lead so crazy for the amount of time left that they had to abandon the run completely, although the Bombers played it well the 4 times they ran before garbage time.

Yesterday, the Bombers are the worst team in the West. Today, Nichols’ critics better shut up. I guess Nichols is what’s keeping this team afloat to you. Look, today Nichols was fine. It could even be argued he was good. But the Argos defence is pitiful and he was awful the previous two weeks. Let’s see if can avoid a two bad game, one good game pace.

AKAChip Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Also, whether it’s his fault or not, Wilder is another in a long line of rookie year wonders, exalted as the greatest by TSN who will underwhelm for the rest of his career. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Very quietly, this Bomber defense has improved a lot. Game plan compared to that Hamilton game has shifted now too. We are putting so much more emphasis on 4-man rushes, sinking our secondary into coverage and letting them play. Bighill and JSK are still really active against both the run and pass. And then when we do blitz it has a much bigger impact. I love it. Richie Hall deserves some love for that. Hope we can keep it going. Offense was pretty darn good again today too. It sure seemed like they wanted to avoid the mistake of underutilizing Harris. Good outing for most. Three turnovers leading to so many quick points was unfortunate. Hilarious in my opinion to blame coaching when those guys are very reliable and still had good games too (Fogg, Harris, Demski). Winning back to backs is really difficult, but this game gave me quite a lot of hope. Jaxon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bombers were in real peril of being the worst team in the West. As it turns out BC blew the game and we dominated Toronto. The comment was about the standings and nothing more. I think Nichols is the 2nd or 3rd best qb in the league and I get highly annoyed when I see people trying to chase him out of town. We've wandered the desert long enough without a real qb.

Brandon Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm so mad at TSN... PVR recorded MLS soccer for the first half.... does anyone have a link or source where I can watch the first half?? What I saw in the 2nd half was a terrible Franklin, great pressure up front by our d-line and apparently Bowman isn't playing anymore for us??? I don't understand why people are mad at coaches for players fumbling that's all on the player?? My only gripe is why wasn't LaFrance and Streveler in the game for the last 2 drives?

Has anyone actually tried to chase Nichols out of town? He has been criticized the last couple games (rightly so).

LaFrance wasn't dressed. But yeah, Augustine and Streves should have been in there, don't understand it. And yeah TSN screwed me too! Jerks! Why show that soccer garbage on TSN1??

Mark F Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Is it too early to call Franklin a bust? Think this was his third game. For a guy that's been in the league for three years or so, he doesn't look very good. And he seems to be afraid to get hit. about to get hit by Poop, I think, and he just chucked it and dove. Streveler in year one of his career. And he's already better than franklin. Edited July 21, 2018 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Franklin looked like Dominque Davis last year - just completely lost. BBlink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Franklin was under fire... however late in the game he had some time and a guy deep and he tossed it 10 yards out in the stands... his last INT was also a terrible throw into double coverage and way way short of his target. I'd be concerned as an Argos fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_gold_84 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Credit to the Bombers' D-line for pressuring him pretty constantly today. They also shut down Wilder, Jr. in spectacular fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not better than Mitchell by any stretch and him being the third best QB in the league is more an indictment on the state of QBing in the CFL because Harris isn’t good either.

bustamente Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Wilder is a long ways a way from getting a shot in the NFL, to slow to hit the hole and not nimble enough to elude anyone, he won't be running anyone over in that league, he should concentrate on trying to keep a career in the CFL.

BigBlueFanatic Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Streveler was warming up halfway through the 4th quarter... and then Demski gifted the Argos with a fumble return TD to put them back to two possessions behind.
