Feel like Harris is going to drop a 50 burger on us next week... That secondary and those explosions.....

Feel like Harris is due for his mid season slump

[wpgallday1960]

Bombers need BradyO to be their best player in order to win. ZC is a shell of his former self but at least he isn’t forcing as many deep balls any more and takes what the defence gives him.

I’ll take the win and hope Demski and Schoen can play on Labour Day.

Perhaps, but I don't expect to see Lawson starting at the corner. I realize that some folks aren't crazy about the Houston signing but charges were dropped and I'm ok with givong a guy a second chance. He can play and he's a lot better than Lawson.

Montreals offense is obviously banged up, but we beat a no joke defense while missing key receivers. Bombers slowly wore them down with smart play by Zach and Hogan FINALLY let Brady cook.

I thought Collaros was fantastic tonight....??

Zac did what he had to , to get the win given the injuries

Yeah I haven’t seen him lose his **** in a long time, years even. I almost forgot how crazy he used to act on the sidelines with Edmonton. 

He dropped 3 f-bombs in an interview last week. He's a child.

Collaros using his legs is big. He needs to do that more since he's got no receivers and always under pressure... and thank God for Brady Oliveira.

There's a difference between knowing in advance that you are.going to be missing receivers and losing them mid game. I thought our O was damn fine, given the circumstances.

Zach is faster this year than he was a couple of seasons ago. He seems to be in pretty good shape considering he’s getting older. He’s not quite 2010’s Zach in terms of mobility but it’s nice to see him use his legs a little more this season when needed.

morgan’s poise and resilience reminds me a lot of brown. 

I saw a bit of Mike Reilly there.

Morgan hit a couple deep shots but was mostly crap on the night....

Credit to the OL for creating space for BO....

...and ZC was particularly great passing the ball in the first half. If we ever gave him time, and some receivers to throw to.....

honestly at this point you probably give him some receivers and the time and space will follow since a defence would have to respect the passing options.

Appearance-wise, for sure.

I don't think OL is that bad in pass pro. They are just not as good as they were a few years ago. I would say the passing attack needs some adjustments, and those are slowly being made.

Best game of the year for our offense & especially Zach. Brady was spectacular & it just shows how stupid Hogan's been by not using him properly. I wonder if Walters tries to take a receiver off of a practice roster or makes a trade? Osh just can't rely on Schoen to come in & play the way he did in 2023. We give up too many big plays in our secondary & that is going to kill us. 

[Bomberguy]

The year of injuries it seems. Perhaps Ontarea Wilson makes it back? We have been injury lucky in our recent run but the last two seasons that’s run out. Loved watching Strev block, but I never want to see that again 😳
