If you do not know how to tackle properly, you shouldn't be playing pro ball.

Exactly.  Hitting ZC anywhere between the knees and shoulders wouldn’t have been a problem.

Ok so what the **** is Pokey supposed to do different? He's got multiple guys on him.and the ball is thrown to him and not ahead of him. I know you're a collaros apologist, but they weren't a receiver doing something wrong, they were balls they dbs had a chance at. The one before half especially shouldn't have been thrown. Situational awareness dictates a turnover is the worst case Ontario. 

And further to that.... collaros has thrown those exact same interceptions a million times this season. He's forcing plays without having the ability to put those balls where only the receiver can catch it. It's not a new thing

I tend to agree with your comments. It would appear at least IMHO that Zach has lost some arm strength and is forcing plays. It does not help though that he is playing with the worse OL in front of him. I really can not say which O lineman I would keep next year. IMHO we are weak from tackle to tackle.

Zach was basically done when Bombers brought him in(werent  teams not picking him up because of his issues with concussions).......and so what are the bombers doing with him now?

Doesnt make much sense about his health.

Yup but he proved he wasn’t done when we picked him up. But he has somewhat regressed to date and with this latest injury the writing may be firmly on the wall to move on to the next phase of his life outside of playing football.

Zach has had issues with concussions dating back to 2014....in  in sask he sat out 6 weeks due to a concussion 2018...Zach is living on borrowed time.....

Concussions are weird. Sometimes you get cranked in the head so good you are out cold, other times you aren’t. I’ve had concussions as I played hockey and honestly the worst ones were the ones that I didn’t even think were bad. Now I played before we all knew about CTE but concussions are interesting. Sometimes the lightest smack to the head produced the worst concussion. The big shots like helmet coming off shots, made the ears ring but not the head.

2014 is 11 years ago. 2018 is 7 years ago. None of that matters in 2025. Living on borrowed time for 11 years now? OooooOooOoo K. Zach is still a capable QB but he’s being protected by the Taliban and Randolph. Seriously. We got 1 oline right now. It’s Randolph. The rest of the leaguers QBs protected by Team America (**** yeah) and we protected by the military they put together via posters and Facebook. It’s no wonder Zach hasn’t been hurt more. Count. It’s 1 2 and kaboom. Zach don’t even get 2 seconds to make a decision most the time.

Breakdown and wrap at the waist.  Guy wrapping the shoulder pads and bashing heads is going to tell us he’s making a form tackle?

Yup...target mid section 

He didn't need to target the collar bone area

U don't  need to.be hit in the head directly to be concussed...that's probably why...its the sudden stop of the body and brain stays in motion and slams into skull....

I suspend Reavis because it was a clear head shot and I feel those should come with harsh penalties so that we see less of them in games since CTE is serious. However one man's opinion.

Well if they don't want QB's taking head shots seems like a pretty clear decision to make.

But they also don't seem to care quite enough to take that step.

[Bigblue204]

Haven't read through the discussion so i dont know if this has been brought up.

Does Hogan just doesn't believe in hot routes to beat a blitz? Middle of the field wide open every single blitz the riders sent and not once did anyone fill it.

Thankfully BCs defense is as useless as the Bombers offense so they should be in the playoff picture all year.

[Goalie]

Umm. Didn’t O’Shea have to challenge it even so yeah lol at the refs and league taking it seriously. Head shots against Zach seem to be taken the exact opposite way it should be. O’Shea had to challenge it. That right there is the biggest problem. Refs didn’t even call it.

Yup feels like we’re starting to eat our own. The past five years have spoiled us. I’m sure Sasky fans are enjoying all of this but who cares they suck and will always suck. Amen.

At the very least a fine.

Absolutely... And it's so unfortunate that we've come to this. We weren't prepared to handle the winning and the inevitable dip in success.

No not tasty at all, a bit bitter.

I kinda hope Calgary finishes 1st in west and we play Sask in the western semi final in Regina. I dunno. That I think might be fun. Then it doesn’t really matter what they did would it? I mean a win in Regina vs Sask would be phenomenal. I say I hope west semi cuz don’t want Sask even possibly repping the west via bye to west final. Sask winning here would be gut wrenching.

This has been an issue as long as Collaros has been here.  He wants to take shots.  Even on the plays he gets cranked and the second INT there's a guy on his read side with nobody within 10 yards of him.  The hot routes are in the scheme.

I think Calgary will finish first. The Riders vs. Bombers Labour Day games could have easily been a split, in spite of all the warts.
