BLM is gonna win more games for sure, but something looks off with him. He's missing throws he didn't miss before. Is he gonna be ageless like Calvillo or Allen and find new peaks in his game? or is he going to tail off now? I don't think he's done by any stretch but I think the trend will be down for him. Lapo, we'll see. His team is swaggering in two phases of the game but doesn't look to have a lot of upside on O. Could see him being the fall guy for the redblack's terrible offensive recruiting. Ok, I would phrase it differently than “garbage time” but I agree with the idea that the Riders took their foot off the gas. But when he returned in the 4th BC was turning the tide, and he hung in there. Bad last pass though. Definite deer in headlights jitters in the first half but I think he overcame them. There is something to work with in my mind with this guy. I do wonder about Bo’s health as it has been sketchy for a while, and the club is always tight lipped about his ailments or surgeries, so it is my qualifier about him on the downslope, but if he is healthy he is nowhere near twilight. I could see a Ricky Ray type backslide with the new personnel, but if he ever became trade bait a smart team would grab him in a heartbeat. He has more Grey Cups in him I would wager. LaPo could easily be the fall guy, but I think he gets the full year at least. If they swoon this season then he gets maybe 6 games next year to improve or be gone.

Could be true? What struck me was his lack of any fire walking off after the many 2 and outs.. He seems like he does not care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I would assume all Bomber fans after week 1 are F'ing ecstatic! Outside of Montreal, every team we saw this week looked very mundane and completely beatable. I'm very optimistic for this season after the first week.

TBURGESS Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Reilly and Nichols should be IR'd ASAP. Both are injured and ineffective. Harris looked good and bad. The pick 6 that lost the Elks club the game wasn't his fault. The other 2 picks were. Masoli looked good and bad too. We didn't give him much time to throw and Banks let him down a couple of times. BLM looked rusty to me and I've heard he's battling a groin injury which could have something to do with it. MBT and Collaros looked great. Top 2 QB's of the week.

Tracker Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 We all, okay, most of us, knew that the first week or two in the CFL would be a mixed bag of good and bad, so onward we go. IC Khari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an ass. The exact opposite of a mafia type guy. Nichols looked skinny af. Not just trimmed down but like he was stranded on a desert island for covid. His arms looked tiny. They gotta ir him and get him healthy. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Ah Wilder, as others here have said really is the Duron Carter of running backs. No I in team buddy but there is one in idiot. Firekid, BigBlueFanatic and Mark F 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His throw was low and catchable. Looked like Nichols throws except with more velocity. The receiver knocked it up in the air. A good receiver never does that. I was wondering who everyone was going to pick on this year now that Duron Carter's gone. Turns out its Wilder. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
