I also thought former CFL All-Star Drew Desjarlais held his own at guard in the first padded practice, and vet Ty Montgomery is trending towards roster lock. I’ve been wondering… where have all the good people gone?? Bigblue204 and wbbfan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Some brilliant poster a while back said touchdowns are better than field goals. Does it really matter if teams get 60 yards and score a field goal when the Bombers can score multiple tds? wbbfan, BigBlueFanatic, blue_gold_84 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how much the CFL game favours offense, this would seem to be a logical approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I don't care what kind of yards we give up...to be honest....I care about how many points we give up...and how we seem to make the right adjustments at the half...and just squeeze life out of teams...I haven't looked...but I assume the bulk of these "yards" are compiled in quarters 1 to 2...and after that...it's minimal...as we take over games Geebrr, Noeller and BigBlueFanatic 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since Zach took over the offence, I’ve marvelled at his ability to break other teams with timely scores. Sometimes against the weak teams recently it’s maybe a combination of the grind and miscommunication where it seems like he gets greedy, but then you have him shooting the lights out in the big games of this season so far.

Basically....if u dont jump us right outta the gate ...cash in on every or any error we make and get up by at least 14 by half ...I just can't see a team winning unless we really drop a deuce in 2nd half of game ..basically 2+yrs and running has shown this....like our record from end 2019 and on ..including playoffs is basically just wins...and that's pushing like what...30 games now?

Dave Naylor really trying hard to hate. #1 in points allowed and have played more games than anyone. I do agree with him that we still aren’t even playing our best and will be even better come playoff time. Noeller and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Hasn't there only been the one game where we have given up multiple tds? That's a winning formula no matter how many yards you give up. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
