Same can be said on offence... cohesion and familiarity we have in spades...Ellingson will fit in seemlessly as he and ZC have history...and he knows how to attack CFL defenses...so at worst we playing 1 new guy (reciever) to our system and league in general...again...we will hit the ground running while other teams gotta learn all the new pieces. I think that’s re-writing history a bit, booch. Hamilton was expected to continue on with their 2019 season, but other than that everyone expected us to be right up there.

Brandon Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 The narrative was that our new DB's last season were going to be a liability because of a few blown spots in the first game. That quickly changed. Bigblue204 and Mark F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since the end of the 19 gc the cfl media was pushing that the cats under achieved and that 21 was their year. Lots of pundits picked us for 2nd or 3rd in the west and virtually none had any one above hammy. 50 minutes ago, Blueandgold said: What’s going on with the CFL schedule?

Hamilton was expected to continue on with their 2019 season, but other than that everyone expected us to be right up there. That's not true at all. There were plenty of people, especially in the media that had the bombers finishing anywhere from 3rd to 5th in the west. I don't think anyone had us finishing 1st. Nevermind dominating the entire year. 15 hours ago, Booch said: Yeah...we weren't pegged as favs...most had us battling for 3rd...lost too much in secondary..questions about backup qb and recieving corp...too old...

We ran the ball perfectly fine with Brady and Augustine and it's not like Lawler was the only guy who was catching balls. Also why look at it with the cup half empty, OIiveria was player of the week in his very first start who is to say that he doesn't improve from last year and performs even better? The more Oliviera & Augustine play the better players they'll become. wbbfan, blue_gold_84 and wpgallday1960 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
