BBRT Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 59 minutes ago, TBURGESS said: The 2 points is all that matters. Keeps us tied for first in the West and sets up the biggest game of the year (so far) next week against BC. Great reverse return followed by not so great reverse return. Shows how quickly Toronto can adjust on the fly. We started great with a TD drive, then had to settle for FG's. We proved we could beat Toronto with their 2nd string QB, third string RB and 3 starters missing from the defence. Actually, they were still in the lead with their 2nd string QB et al, so we didn't even prove that. Note that Calgary beat them without their starting QB too & they suck this year. Toronto proved that they can hang with us even with a bunch of backups in. This is my opinion also. The win did not prove much other than what TBurgress indicated. Next week will be where the rubber meets the road. If we win I think we are well along our way to another cup appearance. If not then we probably will host the WSF and probably play the Riders. ddanger and Bigblue204 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can never understand why Winnipeg seems to be completely forgotten when TSN or SN is broadcasting our games. Applies in football and hockey. Gotta suck up to the 12 Argo fans watching.

How many snaps did he play? What percentage? Its a waste to have a guy in to block for the ten plays on offense at most that he gets in. No impact on teams and we're screwed if he's taking reps at DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we have a Canadian fullback we drafted...who played the position in college..in Canada....pretty sure he knows how to block...even run the ball and catch it too if need be..which also goes back to an earlier post that anyone can do the role....we all love Miller...say he is great....well he was a linebacker in college and when he first came into league but through necessity switched to a full back and St role as he had no future as a LB..

Super Duper Negatron Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 If anyone is watching Powell today and last week, or Crum every week, or Dolegala every week...that tells you all you need to know about this year's Bomber team.

Powell's not that bad. He's improving under Milanovich. Dolegala is a straight drop back passer who puts up big numbers passing but doesn't win much. He has a chance to be a good one. Crum is getting the snot kicked out of him every game & may not survive. Of all 3, Powell has the best chance to be a long term starting qb. Dolegala needs better coaching to develop. He won't get it in Saskatchewan with that coaching staff. MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Argos had horseshoes up their ass all game. Luck played a huge role in how well the Argos defense played. They broke up pass plays at the exact right moment or that fumble by Dukes recovered by a teammate in the final minute of the firat half leading to an Argos field goal. I doubt they can make those kinds of plays next time they play. In the Grey Cup. MrFreakzilla and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCon Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 My observation from last night is to not bother trying to run around Argo defenders, just run at them. They were so soft and crumbled at first touch. I'm not sure how many yards we had after initial contact but it seemed really, really high. Brady would get the ball and just run through them. Athletic, sure, and well coached but soft like Ontarians in the face of snow. Bigblue204, ddanger, Noeller and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Grey Cup. yeah the Argos are reminding me of the Vikings last year in the NFL - won a lot of games by pure dumb luck and then melted in their first playoff game when the going got rough. I'm glad we won (and I won't discount the fact that when they put their 3rd stringer QB in they basically were saying "please win, here it is on a platter") but man it shouldn't have been that close.

End of an era I guess but on the other hand we won three Cups in the 1980's to 1990 with three pretty different teams. GCJenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) The O runs through Brady. Every time we go away from getting him the ball, the O slows down. Hard to argue him as the MOP right now. Collaros likely brings more to the table leadership wise right now. But no one is playing better than Brady on this team.

Noeller Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Collaros has not been consistently good this year. Zero doubt now that Brady O is the unquestioned MOP for the Bombers. Blue-urns, ddanger and Deiter Fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
