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?

Kudos to the Als. They've played a great and disciplined game, and their coaching has been really good as well, making ours look very bad.

Bombers: thanks for showing up. Your fans.

I agree with you. I just dont know how many more times I can keep agreeing with you about the same thing over and over again.

That was a brutal call by Younger... Why is Nichols blitzing at this point in the game.

The sad part is we don't get to see Moss melt down!

 

and with that- they are done.

Has to be repercussions for shitting the bed in the home opener after the gc last year. 

Going to be a year full of learning for Ford this year, might not be ready but Osh has to dress as many Canadian starters as possible

Other than that abomination...defence has shown well...pieces are there...just matter how to use them...

I’ll have to check later but I think we’ve had more 2 and outs than not in all our drives 

Nice work. I can see it now

 

”yeah, didnt look good. Take it game by game. Must play better. But lots to like”

As pathetic as we played tonight ,im even more disgusted by some of the "fans" on here. Have a good night Y'all. Ill go see if Uncle Jack can soothe my sorrows.

Bombers just look bad. You can pretend to blame 1 guy but it’s not just 1. It’s every phase. O D and teams although O suck prob leads to D sucking wind.

Lol...gotcha...well I guess until things change???? I dunno 

The rankings after this week will have the Bombers pretty much at the bottom.

We kept the wrong qb but also tonnes of problems elsewhere. What a mess

Well deserved they were out of this one from the get go

It doesn’t bother me to lose. But at least show up. 

Every fan in that stadium should be booing this team. Inexcusable to show up that flat to your homopener no less.

D was playing well all things considered but out there way too much

Offense putrid...kick return...putrid...kicking...putrid...obviously preparedness...putrid...

Good lord- this is goin gto be a long season. 

Everything we were worried about in the off-season happened. Every single thing. I think this is going to be a rough season.

That last play was on him but yeah. Secondary has been good in general.
