Vaughters and Willie took way to many snaps pretty well ineffective, roster needs to add at least 1 more end 

Does Osh realize that tho? Wr won...despite a less than optimal roster sp based on history no change will be made unless someone literally on crutches..nobody will get valuable experience and earn more playtime and it will invetibally bite us in ass when it really counts...we've seen this movie 4 yrs running now...

Re-watched the game. Bombers D had very little push up the middle but overall D is solid. Special teams better than previous couple years. O looked lost for the most part. O line struggled and did not dominate. Here's hoping J Jackson can be honest with Hogan, Osh etc in his assessment of Collaros, who's clearly on the downswing in terms of arm strength. Let's face it, Strev has better accuracy and velocity. In some ways we were lucky to be facing Masoli or result could've been different.

Give Collaros the Game 1 OL and let's see.  Streveler had near zero pressure on dropbacks, a bit of pressure on some RPO/rollout stuff they did because he's running stiff off the knee injury.  He also put the ball up for grabs a bunch in those conditions, especially in the first half of that first game.  He has a decent deep ball with no pressure and moves it out quick.  Almost no intermediate game which Collaros lives on.

The OL is the problem right now and the big difference on O between the two games.  There's no consistent 4-5 yards on the run at BC, it's a big run or basically nothing.  The Game 1 OL we had that run game with some bursts too, but Peterson was getting 3-4 yards before first contact almost every touch.

The lack of pressure on Streveler could have had more to do with his ability to run. Dline has to contain him. Collaros, not so much. They know they can go after him and force mistakes.

Im willing to let the season play out. But last night made me question (even more) the offer of a contract extension before the season started.

We need more pressure up the middle....Most of the time Masoli was playing pitch and catch....Offence seemed complacent after scoring the first 20 pts and seemed content to sit on the lead...Can't do that with the top clubs and walk away with 2 pts......Overall we were adequate.... Did not like our punter....Seems to lack leg strength when we need a deep ball....Not good enough

I'm wondering if there is anything to the idea that the Dome is "dead air" and you need an extra 5 yards on throws/kicks.....

Zach said in post game that it's on him to make better throws get the job done no matter what, but I'm curious...

Bombers +8 on net punting over Lions in the two games.  Sheahan's net through 2 games would be 2nd in the league last season.

But yeah, Bombers suck right?

Zach can not play like a vintage Danny Mac gunslinger... I'd like to see him throw on the run more. 

The rare athlete can maintain a high level of performance well into their 30's but damned few. I fear that Collaros' trend has been down for about two years now, and, worse yet, I can foresee O'Shea doing a Matt Nichols on him, trotting him out again and again even when Collaros is done like dinner.

On the broadcast they were talking about our D being faster this year but is it? Parker is faster than BA, Lawson and Adams getting more reps are faster than Jake and Schemekel but Kyrie, Willie, Vaughters um no.

As with others..we win despite the less than optimal players...he won't change anything...I've said before we have won a lot despite his poor choices...but those days may be numbered as a lot of the depth that compensated for it..while in their prime...is either not prime anymore...or gone

He said it himself in TC ...you watch tape on a guy from yrs ago and you see the production they can do...or something along those lines...and he just clings to it.. we've seen it way too much...he doesn't forward think...let alone develop guys along the way to step in...or just flat out replace guys who aren't the best option cause we've won with them before...or he just likes them cause they been here forever...and that's bad.

Our depth has eroded so bad because of it...and again have a lot of just ST only guys...again...are reluctant to let guys who could and can make a difference play legit reps...and a couple don't even get a sniff of the roster 

Its gonna bite us in ass again this yr...just you watch...unless he does a serious change in his opinion...or Walters and or Miller steps in and plays Boss

Watching the replay during the game. I said it looked like Demski accelerated when he spotted the ball and then realized it was going to be short. So maybe there's something too it.
