You'd think the coaches would adjust for Collaros's lack of arm strength, poor velocity and accuracy and devise a short passing game. I mean if regular fans can see this, surely they can too. Just about every pass today was under-thrown or off-target. Why don't they do something about this? It's been evident for going on 3 seasons.

LaPo even said Edmonton plays mostly zone. Throwing the corner route is not the way to beat it, although we kept trying and trying. Failing and failing

Lapo also commented on our centre landing on his butt.

At least he was noticed. Was Jefferson even on the field?

I'm seeing the Wilson catch going viral on social media.   So at least one positive thing from tonight  

 

 

[outofprovincefan]

Thought we were playing the worst team in the league. Turns out we’re the worst team in the league! Please don’t be one of the 66.6% of the teams that make the playoffs.

[TBURGESS]

Wilson's amazing catch might have saved our post-season. Without it, they're up by 12 and they kick a FG on the last play to make it 15. 

[Brandon]

I'm guessing this team doesn't do fumble drills?

Collaros was ******* ass. All those people lining up shitting all over streveler better be doing the same after that game from collaros.

It's not the qbs, it's the ******* clownshoes OC. 

Only thing more embarrassing is the 3rd and 2 defence and somehow turning a forced fumble with at least 4 ******* guys around it into a touchdown against.

 

Jesus what a dumb team we have.

Can you fill me in on this one? Does points for and against mean much here? Based on last nights game and the points for and against did we will the season series against the Elks? Sorry have not stated current on this as I travel out of country a lot!

We have the season series, yes. 1-1 against the Elks, but the next time breaker is head to head point differential.

Streveler doesn't even set his feet properly to throw.

The real question is: where is the QB performance / gameplan we saw against Hamilton? 

[rebusrankin]

Zach was bad yesterday. Walter's should not have extended him.

All I know is that you don't have to pay a QB a huge contract to throw a ball into quadruple coverage and/or underthrow deep shots by 5 yards.....

Woohoo crossover here we come 😠

When u hire from within...for whatever reason with a guy with zero experience...well expecting an adjustment in game is a pipe dream...we've seen it all yr...out classed consistently in second half all yr

[rebusrankin]

So Brady is a free agent after the season, I believe. Does he stay if we keep Hogan as OC?

One of the biggest reasons Hogan is OC is because or Brady's recommendation...

I think there is a concensus in this forum that Streveler is not going to lead us to the promised land and it is clear that Collaros is not, either. There are too many lacks on this edition for a patch job- from the GM to the players. Tear it down to the foundation and begin building for 2028.

True but Brady has also expressed displeasure this season too in regards to play calling.

A vibrant organization nurtures talent and effort , even if the said indiviuals do not fit the organizational mould. In dysfunctional organization, individuals who think as the top people do and do not challenge the existing paradigm get promoted. O'Shea seems to have surrounded himself with same-think people who do not challenge him and the organization has stagnated.

[JuranBoldenRules]

The Bombers don’t have the receivers to run an offense relying on vertical passing game.  And they have to really game plan to keep Collaros from his base instinct of just chucking the ball up.  Certainly don’t have the receivers for that right now.  It’s gotta be quick stuff to guys who are right in their break.

Mike Miller was a good hire for ST coach.

I go back and forth on the JY hire at DC.

Hogan was a huge mistake.

Some new blood would be nice.

I think younger is fine, I think the biggest problem on D is the refusal to rejuvenate the DL and linebackers
