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?

If Lawler out..start him and 7 Canadians on offense and go all import on the front 7...with the lone Canadian Schmeck

They won’t. They’ll trot out Cadwallader to play WIL first. 

Is Garcia still in town?

Who had Johnny Augustine in the lock of the week?

I agree with suitor. Montreal’s D makes Collaros their ***** yet again. 

Pep pizza and frozen Cheetos did Sergio in tonight

Should have played Castillo in the preseason

At this rate we are all gonna lose by week 4 

TSN overjoyed that bombers are losing and that Fajardo played so well.  They can gush on him for another week.

Also, I'm glad that this game is televised in the US... Bring even more credibility to the league down south...

After 4 straight cup appearances 1 loss ain’t gonna cost anyone anything. Some of you are unrealistic

I wonder if media will ask osh the tough questions...and if he has the ability to say..yeah maybe looking back now we may have done things differently....hmmmmmm

What’s up with the ultra conservative play calling tonight? They’re not even giving themselves a chance.

Should have kept the dude we developed over the 35 yr old. 

But seriously- how do you move on from:

Collaros was dominant again in his third full season with the Blue Bombers as he led the Canadian Football League with 33 touchdown passes, while throwing for a career-best 4,252 yards — second in the league to B.C.’s Vernon Adams, Jr. (4,769) — and rushing for two scores.
The Blue Bombers were 12-4 in his 16 starts in 2023

 

That is insane to move on from a career high yards, 14-2 and 33 tds

He deserves some leeway in getting back to form. 

Will there be changes, sure, will they help maybe.

Rod Smith thought his boner from the Grey cup might go down tonight, but no such luck.
