Rod Black Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 We are in first place in the west. Tied for first overall. Lost one game in 6. Can’t see a reason to stab myself with that record. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddanger Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 It's a long season, and we were never going to go 18-0. Every team deals with injuries, and now it's our turn. Mathews probably gets in next week ( unless he goes clubbin in TO ), and as I said earlier maybe we need to give Yoshi a game off to heal up. We have a very inexperienced interior o'line, and they had a teachable moment last night. I like our defence, and doesn't defence win championships?? Can't expect to win a game with 5 turnovers. And yes the qb takes the blame for the whole offence, kind of like Helly taking the blame when the puck goes in. Did receivers run the wrong routes?? Did the o'line not block properly?? Gotta check the film, sort things out and move on. B-F-F-C and Mr Dee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Most of Nichols ints he just flat out over threw his target badly. One I would say 2 receivers were too close so they likely ****** that up. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shot downfield late in the game to Demski, perfectly dropped in for him and he's the lowest guy in the group. Put Woli, Adams or Matthews under that pass and they're coming down with it. Nichols was bad but some of his receivers could have made plays too. B-F-F-C, 17to85, Fatty Liver and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge and Burn Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 As said earlier, yesterday was the first time this year we have been physically dominated. I expect a PO'd team next week Bigblue204, the watcher and Noeller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I didn't see a physically dominated team. The defence was poor on the first possession but almost every other point the Ticats got was essentially handed to them on a silver platter. All five of the meaningful turnovers in that game were inexcusable, but that's mental error and not physical. The argument could be made that if Charles Nelson plays last night, we win even with Nichols having the exact same performance.

TBURGESS Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 It's no surprise that the defence started playing a lot better once Masoli went out. Tracker, Noeller, JCon and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I am not happy that the next Bomber game is against the sad-sack Argos who will put up the resistance of a wet Kleenex. If the Bombers roll over the Argos, as they probably will, they may assume that all is well and Hakuna Mata. I would have preferred them to play the Esks next to find out if they have what it takes to grind out a win when things are not going well, or if they are pretenders who have had the benefit of a soft schedule.

AKAChip Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 This season, there are so many terrible teams that every team has a relatively soft schedule. We're a third of the way through the season. Even if they blow out the argos and lose the following week to Calgary, it still isn't really a big deal. This team will make the playoffs easily and while the bye is important, almost nothing that happens in week seven and eight is going to impact anything in the playoffs.

Blueandgold Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Nichols sucked and our returners sucked but it was one game. We’re on pace to be 15-3, the sky isn’t falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many games with so many teams where a D comes out flat against a QB then pulls it together - you know this, you’re just being a bit smarmy the first one or two drives are completely planned out - Ham had a full two weeks to scheme that opening drive ha, it was really nicely designed We have no idea if the D adjusts - ‘completed an 11 yard pass’ haha - but you gloss over the Rose jump route... some days man Rod Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans isn't even close to being a starter, let alone a top CFL QB. It's ridiculous to ignore the change of QB as a reason our defence suddenly looked better. I'll go even further.... If Masoli stayed healthy, we'd have lost the game big time considering the number of times we gave the ball away.

BBlink Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 There is some middle ground to that argument. No doubt we lose by a couple more points if Masoli is in. But the first couple drives are pretty scripted and defenses adjust. So it's not like we can't stop Masoli. He was just about to take a 20 yard loss before he popped his knee 17to85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit late, now don't you think? Hardrick was as bad as any of the O-line and as a veteran, he should have been one to step up, kick a Gator-Ade container or whatever to wake up the unit and maybe even grab Nichols by the grille and demand better.

I have to say I'm usually on your side but this year you really seem to go out of your way to see the doom and gloom side of the Bombers. It's verging on ridiculous. Of course Evans is not as good as Masoli but to extrapolate and entire game based on one drive makes no sense at all - Masoli is a Hank/Frank QB too... he becomes a turnover machine pretty quickly - you just choose to ignore the INT - really strange.
