There are threads after every game this season to prove that (or at least a season long Nichols complaint thread that died ONLY after he got hurt). I would understand fans criticizing the Riders defense, considering the Bombers offense owned the 2nd half statistically despite missing key players on that side.. but does the Riders offense suck?? Or did the Bombers #1 ranked defense, that they rely on to win EVERY game, make them look bad? Either the Riders crappy offense made the Bombers defense look good or the Bombers great defense made a good offence struggle. You cant claim both.

blueandgoldguy Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 We have seen this story too often. The defense plays a good game only to blow it when the team really needs them to hold the opposing offense to zero points on their final drive. We saw some good late game stops by the D in the preceding weeks but this was an all too familiar tale. Fajardo was 4-4 on the final drive for 34 yards...not sure why people here say all he did was hand off the ball to get in field goal range. I get frustrated with our coordinators too, but there appears to be an assumption by many here that whoever we replace them with will be better by utilizing the talent to its full potential. That is a pretty big assumption. Who is exactly out there that will call a better game than Lapo or Hall? Someone we don't know about from the US? Someone in the CFL? deepsixemtoboyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J/K -is it the same posters making the same claims? Or are you lumping the whole of MBB together? if it's the latter- then you get nothing but a shambling, non-coherent, constant stream of conflicting sentiments. Proceed at your own peril.

You are absolutely right. You lost this game because your #1 defense crapped the bed against a terrible offense and the bombers missing star players on offense meant they couldnt bail the defense out against a team with a defense as terrible as the rest of the team.

Even when I was an every day active participant on team forums, I didnt post on ourbombers. It was generally only after games between the two or a comment here or there that was always met with me being a rider troll. So I stuck at esksfans and gostampsgo where if I commented after a game, it might seem like trolling, but I had reputation behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do or die Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Yeah we were close, despite a lot of adversity......the men played hard, encouraging signs for next week, yadayadayada.... First quarter (when you need to go out and set the tone) and the last couple minutes were a joke. The lack of imagination on O first downs was tedious. Moral victories......well, they stink. That really stung. Stickem, deepsixemtoboyd and Mark H. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its his blitz pickup and non With the ball duties that need improvements tho. Solid tho. Thought he played quite well. His first start and it's the LDC. Yikes. I think people need to remember we played with 3 o'line and a RB that are essentially rookies. Our back-up qb.as well. Next week will be very different.

The O line was a mess to today but Lapo could of helped them out by rolling out Streveler, he is not a straight back pocket passer. Absolutely what I was thinking. We roll out Streveler and that keeps their dline honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
