Ed Tait's Preview: https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/06/21/game-preview-bc-vs-wpg-6/

I'm sure the reactions to tonight's game will be very rational, well thought out and reasonable....

Relax folks. Seriously. The sun will rise tomorrow and we'll still be hosting the West Final and be in the Grey Cup in November.

I give zero ***** about how our D played, tbh.

This was entirely on our inability to score on offence.

I don’t know.  The offense was a blip.  The D is kind of an issue week by week.  Secondary is getting torched especially Lawrence.  Not a lot of big plays happening from anyone to stem the tide.

Lawrence is entering Roc Carmichael territory for teams just ruthlessly picking on him and piling up yards and TDs in the first third of a season.

If something doesn’t change there next week (and I say this because we literally have no one else currently at corner) I think Lawrence is done here.

Agudosi doesn’t play as tall as he is

Nice over the shoulder grab in stride, but dropped what should have been a TD with the Adarius Bowman 2010 hands down loose frying pans catch attempt instead of high pointing it with strong hands.

First time I've seen a bomber team out played like that in 3 years...

I was at the game tonight and kept thinking ok this drive they will get it going. Just wasn't going to happen. We were physically handled tonight. A lot of bruises to wake up with tomorrow for the good guys, to be sure.

Usually in games like this one of our phases will give us some moment. Not tonight. Beat in all 3 areas. Hats off to BC. We've got some competition this year in the west. 

Also good for Vernon adams. He looked good. The league needs good qbing

Yup VAJ looked real comfortable back there. Rourke who?

Well....that was disappointing.

Yeah he needs to catch those balls in the endzone. Yes he had the big deep play but this is a game where Lawler would have helped. 

Well, that sucked. 

Wasn't the Hamilton game last year like this one?  I remember this place falling apart after that game too...

Reminded me of our game against the Argos last year (though we still managed to win that one).

The DL just tore through our OL the whole game and it was really tough to get anything out of the offence. This was an even worse version of that.

well if anything...Us losing was a gift to the league...hopefully will keep some bums in seats in BC without the need for a concert pre-game

TSN gets its dream wish and can be all giddy about something and run with their story/narrative...

Hopefully Osh and crew seen the underlying issue with depth and roster and actually fix it....and good this happened now as opposed to second half of season where at that point you are stuck with who you took to the dance

A loss happens....and every year since 2019 we had a performance like this....where we all throw out the same complaints and world is falling stuff....Next week will show what this team is made of

That being said....some issues several of us have brought up with roster management, or lack there of and PR players, and lack of certain types of players, was again brought to the fore front and exposed....this isnt an old aging team issue...as 2 games into a season isn't gonna gas a pro athlete...this is a roster issue and improper allocation of talent, and blind stupidity....yeah I gonna say it in letting certain types of positional talent go in TC and keeping a whack of guys who will never see the field...

I'm sure when dust settles...we will be right where we need to be come playoffs....just sucks to watch us sucking so bad when it is avoidable

There is a lot of blame to go around.

Just ridiculous how good they look this early. Way better than last season IMO. Collaros has barely been touched thus far.

Can we talk with you for a sec? Maybe out back?

I think I know what the problem was….  I gave my tickets to one of my employees.  But don’t worry, I’m prepared to make the necessary adjustments and ensure I attend the remaining games.  I will also fire my employee, just to be sure all the bad mojo is gone.

It just sucks, is all. 

I really hope next week, they take care of the Als handily and we can all forget about this game like we did the Hammy game last year.

You're bang on. And hard as it is to admit, it is good for the CFL. You're totally right about the roster issue. Some glaring gaps. Thomas, Schmekel and Walker are not a starting rotational three at DT for a championship level team. I know Osh loves Thomas, but that is an age thing. He shouldn't be playing this much. BC started 9 DL, we started 6, 3 of whom should not be starting. I trust in Walters to upgrade the talent level. It's too bad in season trades don't really happen in the CFL. Maybe trade a receiver (Bailey, Agudosi) for a starting caliber DT? 

I was not expecting that. We haven't been beat that badly since Collaros took over. 

Not a lucky win for BC, a dominating win and in all phases of the game. They aren't currently fighting for a playoff spot, they're #1 and they've beaten 3 western teams. 

Our O line looked like it was a step slow over and over and over. Collaros paid the price. Deep balls meant taking a hit. 

BC's first TD was enough points to win the game. 

What was with all the penalties? 

I thought that the ball touched the ground on BC's big catch at the 2 going into the half, so they got 4 unearned points on that drive.

The game reminded me of last year when we went into BC on a short week and took them apart.

I blame myself for taking Collaros in fantasy as QB and making him team captain. I blew the whole game for us.

I was wondering why MOS didn’t throw the flag there.

My theory is that I drank Coors rather than the usual.

2 of whom shouldn't even be on active roster

yup...ass handed to ourselves....good lesson and reality check...history shows this team will bounce back...and with a vengeance so I expect that next week

How dare you.

Is it possible Coture knows all the OL and D calls?  Could have shared a lot in the film room?

I said, you want to beat the Bombers dominate the offensive line. Don't hate me for being right, cry because the OL let it happen.
