Needed points on that drive not a good choice to throw the ball there obviously and ZC should know better

Bad play call. You can’t leave it to a scramble. Timing route to the corner take just a couple seconds off if it misses. No risk. 

Collaros appears to be hanging on to the ball a second or so 2 long 

Love Zach, but that's a idiotic throw to make in that situation.

So to the point of that 15/16 for Maier, I'm pretty sure his first pass of the game was the incompletion (the one Willie knocked down). So he's basically perfect passing.

Yes, we could have kicked for 3 on the last play of the half. 

You don’t run all that time then time out.

You don't know the Play call tho. Appears ZC is just hanging on to the ball 2 long 

Brady was also back pedalling before Zach threw that allowing the defender to step in front of it instead of attacking the ball. Still a bad pass but if Brady attacks the ball instead of waiting for it to come to him then he and defender probably collide there.

We're gonna lose aren't we 

Collaros just cannot do that there. That pick could very well mean the difference between winning and losing. Horrid clock management on that drive too. Wasted like 20 seconds playing grab-ass to begin the drive.

That's what you get with Zach. He's a gunslinger. 

But, the throw has to go to the corner of the endzone.

ZC was almost over the line too.  I've noticed the last couple of games. He's been trying to do too much.  Shows that he is a great athlete but sometimes he has to trust the play call.  

Turning out to be a really good game.  Bombers defence need to get some turnovers though.

Zach needs to throw some balls away or just I dunno but can't be throwing it like that. Even the amazing toss to demski was dumb

No sir, we are not.

This looks like the same Bomber team we've seen all season with one difference being the D has stopped making big plays.

Obviously a poor decision by Collaros, but the offense has been moving the ball well.  Defense needs to tighten up… Too many wide open guys and easy throws.

TBH they haven't made a ton of big plays all season.  They've got stops in FG range.

Secondary is a real mess, including WIL and SAM.

That top hurts

Gotta agree. Our pass-rush is basically none-existent and has been for awhile now. Maier just sitting back and picking us apart. Would rather just rush 4 and play more man.

He’s running for his life. He hasn’t gotten a good pocket the whole day.  It was a mesh concept. That’s why it went over the middle. 

I miss 2021 when we were s**t stomping teams with a generational defense.

And tonight mac 

Kyrie Wilson to Clements is a massive drop-off.  Wilson was a big playmaker, finish off some of those swing and run plays.

Little Caesars really loving their Chicago style pizza.

Stove is the loss that really hurts but the secondary changes have been rough too.

Yup. Missing Wilson, Alford, and Alexander big time.
