We need drastic improvement to the interior ol. But right now neither look ready to start. Couple terrible whiffs and buck isn’t going to change the play book like he should. 
 I would consider starting demski at rb when healthy.  

When the NFL camps start & they start making cuts we need to bring in some American running backs.

Yep. I’d kick the tires on stanback when healthy too. We should look at ol too.

Neufeld is hurt. HE HAS TO BE. I mean, what else could it be for him to not engage any offenders.

Our D is starting to round into form but let's be honest here. We won't win a championship with the OL & run game that we have now. They both need to be fixed,

If we do it’ll be collaros with the best qb performance in history. Couture will be big. If the old guys can get healthy too that’d be great. If Richmond was healthy we could give guys a game to get healthy. Desjarlais would be a serious power shift. 

Argos might have a useful guard to dump to us to get under the cap.

Rider fans think they can take us and Calgary lol yet they can’t take care of Montreal in back to back weeks 

It's time to end the "Kienan Lafrance" experiment.

Yeah they've had lots of chances.  We have the rings, they have the feeling they can take us.

Talent instantly recognizes genius where as mediocrity knows nothing higher than it self.

Yeah... liking that Agudosi...happy for him...and yeah him and Janrion seem tight....and Janrion is a lil beast...he needs more touches

He looked like what we've hoped every 6'6 receiver we've brought in over the years would be.

You would think after beating them in the playoffs in 2018, 2019, and 2021 they would learn some humility.. too much to ask for!

Yeah I was specifically watching Neufeld and he wasn't grabbing any opposing players' pads with his right hand at all - he must not have any grip strength in that hand right now, which would severely limit his effectiveness as an OL. Kolankowski is also doing the best he can, but compared to most centres in the league he is undersized and is getting pushed around. Combine that with Neufeld's injury and we have a game like tonight. We can offset this somewhat by running more sweeps, especially with a burner like Grant, however with both Hardrick and Bryant also nicked, getting them to hustle laterally may not be the greatest idea either. We're lucky Zach is such a great scrambler, because we'd be toast otherwise.

Hopefully Neufeld's, Hardrick's and Bryant's injuries are minimal and they're able to heal up somewhat during the bye week. I think that will shore up our offence quite a bit if they are able to do so.

Agudosi....is everything I figured he would be...nice first game...hope Bryant's knee ain't too bad...he played through it but u could see it affected him

Did McRae get hurt? Didn't see him last part of game at all

He was awesome

Happy to see my Concerns were not valid 

Just got back,my observations;

-Oliveira isn't a starting running back,runs into piles of guys,it's been 1/3 of the season,start johnny

-our defense no matter who comes in is an oiled machine and is getting better and better.

- Ellingson is so reliable and very good...Darvin who??????

- fans were phenomenal and very very loud.

-Zach is playing very very well,very smart

-Rasheed may be in trouble with how well Agudosi played tonight

Yeah….. Morrow will likely have a good game against us but CF and his receivers don’t need scare me much. 
 

Our next 7 games I can us going 5-2. Probably a loss in Cal and in Sask. Maybe a loss in Montreal as it’s never easy beating teams back to back but right now the Bombers are just finding all sorts of ways to win games.

Useless idiots 

This game was never in doubt

They need to adjust the run call and make use of the pieces we have. 

Sure they got to get the run game going but they made up for it with the short passes to Ellingson. The Bombera had the ball for 37 minutes.

Not sure if it was mentioned but Agudosi's wife and daughter made it to the game.

I'm going to start off my thoughts with this: Agudosi has surpassed Banks as my favourite Carlton.

Observations at the stadium tonight. It was corkin hot there. IG Field is magical for the Bombers and fans. Huge crowd. Loudest I’ve heard it. It was nuts, ear popping loud, in reacting to Houston’s int. Nobody, NO BODY was leaving the park during the last 3 minutes. Everyone stayed til the end. The game was that entertaining.

Agui86 was legit

ZC8 will go down as our best QB in our history. 

D makes plays when they know they have to. 

This team knows how to win. 

We are not even close to a full squad yet...

 

Yummy

It was Houston who was the DB for the Banks.TD that bounced off his hands to Banks right?

 

Karma I guess

Well CoFaj can hit the uprights better than Zac and BLM combined.

What an amazing time to be a Bomber fan + 2 years 

 

Ain't even close. 

Wonder how the losers out west that not to long ago said that they where "we them boyz" "riders set to be a juggernaut" 

Are feeling.  

 

Prolly like only having what...4 grey cups in over a hundred years? Lol

 

Losers...

Can we stop with some of this behind the line pass plays, especially to Bailey, who isn't really quick enough....

It’s true the stats ain’t up to date on the scoreboard during the game. seemed like an entire 3rd quarter BLM didn’t complete a pass. The scoreboard stat said 11 completions. Just thought it was busted. Turns out it must have been up to date because the end result was only 12 caught balls for Calgary. It seems unheard of. 

Are there any DB”s that can cover agodusi? What a performance.
