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. 

This is kind of my take away... Mtl's offense was a shell of it's normal self... and we gave up 13 points... not great against a 4th string QB... but not terrible

Our O vs their D was basically health vs health (minus Dequoy and Schoen)... and then we were down to 3 viable receivers by the second half... we managed to put up 26 points and get the W

To me, this game is a far bigger positive than needing 2 ST TDs to beat a bad Toronto team, at home, a few weeks ago...

The next two games will be interesting. Objectively, the Riders are the best team in the league so it will be challenging for the Bombers.

Go Bombers Go!

Subjectively they are a pile of ass.

 

Ehhh, that is actually objectively too.

I’m sure this was discussed, but that was a bit of a mess by O’Shea at the end of the first half wasting the timeout. I assume he thought the clock wouldn’t run after an injury. 

Think that was on Hogan.  Could see O'Shea yelling into headset that they needed to be on the ball.

I assumed that would be on the players... Interesting....

Not like Schoen. He gets mugged like I've never seen a receiver experience before. He'll draw back into the lineup get beat up again & be out again. 

Very few are as good as a healthy Dalton Schoen - most #1s are not of his calibre.

Much improved BUT still have a long way to go to reach the winning pinnacle the fans are used to.....Still not enough pressure on the oppositon qb....Should have had that green as grass Morgan totally on the ropes early, instead of putting up numbers on us early....Our receiving corps is definitely crippled now, especially after losing Demski....I hope he's back soon ...we'll need him for the Labour Day and Banjo for sure...

I mean besides lawler what guy did we let go that’s having an impact on another team? Nobody. 
 

but I agree. Receiver shouldn’t be hard to find at all. Definitely a F there for Kyle but really it’s just lawler. Maybe lawler hid the issues with the O a bit but in reality our O was and Is at its best when Brady is featured heavily. Whenever Brady or AH before had big games and big touches we were winning, when we relied on Zach and the passing game? Not so much. Our O runs through Brady. It’s why we all want him to get more touches cuz games like last night will become the norm then cuz they were not very long ago. 

Lawler was a MASSIVE loss. It cannot be stated enough. Our offence looks completely different if he is here right now because he draws doubles all game or teams try match him up and he burns them. He is literally a game changer.

We should be able to replenish receivers. Wasn't that Keon Hatcher playing for the Als last night? Why couldn't we have picked him up? Dominique Rhymes, Steven Dunbar, & Kurleigh Gittens were all free agents this off season. Yet, here we are having our backup qb Chris Streveler still recovering from his serious knee injury out there running routes. 

Hollins was available a few weeks ago. This offseason there were a ton of good receivers available We either didn`t try for them or whiffed on them all....including our own Kenny Lawler. Our current receiving corps is just some really bad GMing, Gross incompetence almost.
