Captain Blue Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 56 minutes ago, Mark F said: starting to seem like La Police is not the person to help a quarterback thrive and gain confidence. Streveller is going backwards, started full of confidence and fire, and already looks defeated. LaPolice working for TSN was absolutely great for his career. They constantly praise him despite the results... Suitor: Well Chris, LaPo is going to build an offense so his young quarterback can thrive. Bombers run Harris up the middle, resulting in 2nd and 9. Suitor: That one didn't work but it definitely got the defense thinking. The good thing about LaPo is that he's going to be creative. Streveler runs a QB draw for a short gain. Suitor: You can really see that Streveler needs to develop more as a passer. He's got some work to do. [next series] Suitor: Well I'm excited to see what the mad scientist Paul LaPolice will draw up here. Bombers run a screen to Lucky Whitehead for a short loss. Suitor: Look at how the offense stretched the defense there, that'll be setting them for up something later, I'm sure about that... Bombers complete an 8 yard pass short of the sticks. Suitor: This offense is dangerous Chris, that play was pretty close to making a first down.

Ripper Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Suitor didn't even know what he was talking about. One second he would say qb needs to learn how to pass, next second he would say it doesn't matter and he needs to run. Chris Cutbert was confused and even asked him about it.

And it ain't pretty. 3 minutes ago, Ripper said: Suitor didn't even know what he was talking about. Full stop. Dr. Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say again, Streveler was good, but the rest of the team was garbage. Did we have one return without a penalty? The D gave up like 300 yards before halftime. Puts the O behind the 8ball. But the defence played much better in the 2nd half. With a hint of offence in the 2nd half we may have been able to pull this one out. But streveler and the rest of the offence (Lapo) included shat the bed. Thats why we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't assign the blame to streveler. Neither int was a real horrendous decision, they needed points and on the first one it was to avoid a big sack, the second was again trying to score when it was getting desperate. Hamilton D schooled Lapo and their front 7 schooled our OL. That is how you lose games no matter what a qb does. Doesn't help either when receivers put the ball on the ground either.

No it indicates he played a good game and the bombers played into the Hamilton Ds game plan. They contained the outside pretty well, forced everything into the middle.

The Hamilton team played more conservative in the second half - They full well knew that playing against a Richie Hall defense they could crank it up again any time they wanted to. Hamilton is just a far far better team on both sides of the ball than Winnipeg, as is Calgary and Sask as far as I am concerned. You will never ever win anything of importance as long as you have Richie Hall as your DC. There is no way in the world we could have pulled this one out. I doubt we will win many more. Make the playoffs and one and done is what is in store for this club. Maybe they will fall into the cross over and then get pounded out east. blueandgoldguy and TBURGESS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 1 hour ago, Carlos Harper said: Whoever is responsible for Jeff Hecht starting at safety and continuing to see the field needs to share the vision of what they are hoping to achieve. I doubt that person is Richie Hall. The sad part is they have gone with it all year. Fenner is playing out of position and would be an upgrade at safety imo. 150 defensive backs were just released from NFL camps. Maybe when Alexander comes back, Hecht sits. Never mind half time adjustments, mid season adjustments are tough for these guys. What are the alternatives? If they put an American at safety, can they rotate Canadians on the DL to make the ratio work? Either Thomas or Kongbo would have to be on the field for every defensive snap. I'm very sure they can't / won't put a Canadian at either offensive tackle position. We're already seeing the results of Hardrick playing hurt at that position. The final, and in my opinion the most likely option, is starting another Canadian receiver. Demski, Petermann, Wolitarski, Harris, Augustine, are their options at receivers and RB. That means 4 out of those 5 have to be on the field, leaving depth razor thin. So, what are the alternatives? An improvement at safety very likely means a loss at another position.

NorthernSkunk Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) I'm not worried. Just enough games left to get things straightened out for a cup run. Harris only managing 37 yards on 10 carries has got to be concerning though.... TSN mentioning him still possibly having a shot at an award and then he does that.

They will kick Toronto butt today - where we lost and we go into their barn soon and will probably keep the score close until Richie Hall fails yet again. Hence my thinking the Riders are a better team than the Bombers. As for me today is a great day 3 CFL games on, lots of NCAA football and tomorrow I get to watch the Bears-Vikings game along with the Browns and Pats play. Great weekend for football here in Calgary. I also just purchased two tickets for the Grey Cup! Not sure who will be there but thinking Calgary vs. Hamilton.

Wade Miller and Kyle Walters are beyond being embarrassed. As long as 25K or so pay for tickets each and every home game they will just keep trucking along. New HC here and there, new OC and DC here and there. Few good players here and there - No Grey Cups since I can not remember when. They just keep trucking along same same. deepsixemtoboyd and DR.

Never mind half time adjustments, mid season adjustments are tough for these guys. Excellent assessment. Hecht got turned inside out on way deep play, he was way to shallow on another deep play. Attempting to cover his inability to cover is blitzing him which only is a trigger to a QB that can read cover zero. Rious...one can’t cover and two can’t tackle....put he was not alone in attempted arm tackles. Has anyone issued an amber alert for Bighill? Apart from his gimme interception he was virtually invisible. MOS saying the DBs played to far off the LOS....I guess that was to protect against the deep ball....opps. Never mind the LOS being owned by Hamilton on both sides of the ball. Ironic when you know Hamilton has no run game. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Out Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) This loss doesn't feel any better or worse this morning. I feel total sense of Detachment from the season and the team right now. I've gone from being confident that if we win the West we can be in Calgary in November... To hoping that we can fluke it out in the playoffs like other teams have done to us in 07 and 01. I don't know who or what has cursed this organization, but I just know that we as the fans deserve a lot better.
