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?

Maybe next game we will see heavy rotation of Fox..Woods and Adams in the middle with Haba and WJ...that's when the defense looked effective...

I bet it takes until week 9 to see that, at least.

The offense looked like they could’ve used  some preseason reps 

 

gee

 

who predicted that

Not me lol....

Defence had a couple breakdowns, special have been hot garbage, but this loss falls squarely on Zach and the offence 

A time out after the 5 minutes for the 3 minute warning?  Delay of game penalty.

Not panic no. But if I was Walter’s I might release one of mos crutch guys. 

I’d agree. They need someone to be a prick right now. Wade and or Walters should be ripping into everybody.

It is very obvious who participated in preseason and who didn’t! Maybe our training camps have become nothing more than expectations and just to see who of the newbies will make the team. The offense is terrible and the secondary is as it was during preseason…,pathetic! Expectations do not win games execution and attention to detail does. Hopefully Pierce and Younger will take these guys to task because if they don’t this will be a very long year! Very disappointed especially when many of the starters didn’t take a down during preseason! It shows 

Lotta rust...and sometimes it's these early ..some call "extra preseason" games that determine if u get first...second...or miss the playoffs 

Only guy who didn't take preseason reps but looked fine was BA

When your losing the game just drags on and I've had my fill of Smith and Suitor

Zach gonna get booed off the field if we don’t score.

I dont know about that. But buck/everyone else needs to realize who can carry this team. And he ain't a qb. Last year was the same....They're at their worst when they don't feed Brady early and often.

I don't remember the last time that the bombers failed to score a touchdown in a game.   I'm getting some 2011 vibes right now and I don't like them. Yes, I may be overreacting.

Last year against bc bro

I keep watching hoping there'll be a glimmer of hope in the team and I'm just not seeing it.

 

Clercius is a big dude for his size 

Henoc "show me the money" Muamba another reason not to watch the panel

I’m just irritated right now, but Brady’s on the shitlist tonight too. Hold on to the bloody football.

 

 

 

That is all.

If dru brown plays well in ott, it is going to get ugly in here this week. 

Zach having trouble making garbage time throws. Dudes shot man. Looked shot at times last year. Should have kept the dude we developed over the 35 yr old.
