Then it will be: "Sure we beat the Ti-Cats, but they aren't very good. Wait till next game. That will be the real test." And on it goes. Not necessarily, it's more that if a supposed 180 is done with performance, we don't want to get excited before the proof is in the pudding. If we beat Hamilton with our defense getting stingy and not needing our offense to bail em out with a shootout football game, we will all be optimistic about the direction of our defense. If we lose though or if we win a last year MTL 41-40 type game against them, that will keep the heat on all responsible parties. It's a week-by-week thing though, week-by-week.

Hate to burst your bubble, but there is no "heat on all responsible parties". Most thinking people recognize the direction this team is heading. Others have an agenda. And a 41-40 win is worth the same number of points in the standings as a 100-0 victory. shadybob, blue_gold_84 and Bigblue204 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did lose back to back to the Riders and their record is nothing to really brag about. Three of our four wins are against Toronto & Montreal. I would say it's a resounding yes that they're better than both of those teams. BC, with Lulay, is a much closer comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because they feel Fenner can play SAM well and Leggett is so versatile that he makes plays from anywhere on the field. (Leggett can play HB better than Fenner).

blueingreenland Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 I really like the defense we are fielding on Friday. I am coming to the game from Saskatoon so let's go Bombers!! yogi, Doublezero, Nolby and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure there is much difference as the players shift around. I think I have seen a halfback blitz combined with a D lineman drop back to cover the running back downfield. Football is way more complex now than when I was a lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddanger Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Coming off the bye week I'm worried we may be a bit flat to start. I'm hoping for a strong defensive game for sure. Heard yesterday on 1290 that the D has only given up more than 20 points twice this year?? If I've got that right that's pretty good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically true - but they also surrendered exactly 20 points in two games... so that stat is a little misleading. Also, they managed to lose one of those two games.

Almost.. -from tomorrow’s game notes.. - Bombers Off a Bye Week: Since 2014 and the return of the CFL to a nine-team league, the Blue Bombers have had 7 games coming off a bye week and are 3-4 under Coach O'Shea. However, after going 0-3 in post-bye games in 2014-15, they have since gone 3-1 in their last 4 outings. They were the last team to get a bye in the 2018 CFL schedule.

Get what you are saying.....you never want to let guys get into their groove, no matter who they are. But am basing this observation, somewhat on personalty/and or mental toughness to respond to things not going their way, early. For instance, you can knock Reilly around early, but he will not change his approach. In contrast Jennings struggles, when you get to him early. Some guys do have a track record, one way or another.

I would also add it really shows what kind of team player they are. Is it 'palms up arms up, wtf' or 'we'll get the next one'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be, but it proves Richie Hall can't do anything without the offense bailing his butt out. Hopefully his defense does its job tonight and that won't have to be continued.

There is no "one side bails the other out" as much as there's a "all three phases do what they need to do". Can I ask how long ago it was that Richie Hall ran over your dog? I'm guessing that you're still not quite over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
