Every bomber fan knows that the offence of any team in the CFL takes longer to develop than the defence. The linemen and the blockers behind them need to know what's happening immediately beside them, how to adapt to their fellow teammates. The running backs need to know where the holes are going to emerge. The blocking schemes on passing plays have similar challenges. You can't learn this in practices...

The Bomber Brain Trust decided player evaluation for the few positions that were open was far more important than getting the veterans in harmony with each other. So we have major rust to deal with, more so than usual this season.

There has been such a major talent improvement on our defence that just maybe we can shut down what was a very hot offence in Montréal at the end of last season.

On offence Brady Olivera is going to need a lot of determination as he tries to guess where the holes will be as his O line feel each other out. He's pretty good at seeing what is developing. If he gets 50 yards of rushing that would be pretty good. I'm not sure how open he will be on checkoff plays and other swing passes.

Collaros is going to get sacked a lot on many missed assignments. But he can scramble and is very good at it. He loves the long bomb and we can only guess how many touchdowns he will throw. That's how the offence is going to score, I suspect.

What I think will make or break the game tomorrow is how many touchdowns the defence can supply on turnovers. Maybe one pick six and one or two forced fumbles. There is a real chance pressures on the quarterback will be up significantly this year.

How else can we win this game?

Good to see him just take it and rip

Eli in heavy set not a lot of push on the left side 

2 and out damn 

Nice field position on the opening kick off negated by a 2 and out

As the offensive rust falls

Illegal block and great cover still cole makes a nice play 

Cole is just a missile 

2-out to start.   Damn.

I don't care when it starts to be honest...as long as it does

Can't believe there's ppl actually bitching its too early in year ,just WOW.

Fox has great speed on the run almost solo stopped it 

D got some quicks this year

Mitchell gotta keep those legs moving hesitating at the point of contact won’t get it done. 
atleast he secured it and got some thing though. 

Just catch it and go forward. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Mitchell get a big one today. 

Grant will be a tough guy to replace even though he spent a lot of time in the tub

Nice gap with the pull 

Lemon and neuf watching 

Wonder if Lemon bet on tonight's game

Hello again Bomber friends!
 

Neuf and kola need to do better 

Atta boy kolo....useless

Kolo just a witness 

That sack was all Collaros. He was looking at the double move by wolli but it wasn't there.

Huge change of field position with that return by the Als, Bombers O has some work to do

Why he in is baffling...teachers pet strikes us usually 2 spots per season

Let's hope that the predictable rust was just knocked loose
