And even more interesting to see which blue bomber squad shows up. 

 

Last I checked, the weather appeared like it'll be a factor as well on Friday night...

Hoping for it to clear up a bit. That's my 40th and I wanna tailgate!!

We are so inconsistent, I have no idea what to expect. When we are on, we can beat anyone, but we just can't "stay on" it has been a really frustrating season. I know the Riders are resting a number of starters, or at least potentially resting a handful, but yet I still don't have much confidence in this game, and then we play Mtrl. who it appears are in a dog fight with Hammy, so it doesn't get any easier...Edm was our only "easier" (team with a losing record) we had, and we looked completely incompetent for large stretches of that game...so back-ups or not I am very skeptical....Zach does not play well in cooler weather, and the weather is not looking great....

I think it's more of just an inconsistent thing...it's more that we are not a good team thing....and have no depth...questionable coaching.....which gives you inconsistency like issues.

Technically we are quite consistent...the game like the Hammy one...and maybe one other this yr were just the anomaly, 

Bad teams always have a good game or two every season. We are a bad team.

Yes but let’s look at this with in-depth analysis, objectivity and the conclusion I keep coming up with no matter the season no matter the record is, it’s confirmed, Riders suck and smell really really bad, like see a doctor bad.

 

 

Cobb and Wheatfall in for Demski and Mitchell seems like a significant downgrade... Good to get Houston back on D.

Aside from the Hamilton game, Mitchell hasn't really been targeted.   So no downside in throwing Wheatfall in there IMO.

Losing Demski is a huge loss for the team though and for Zach.

He's been overlooked badly on a few routes, though. Idk, Zach/the system really seems like oil and water with Mitchell for some reason. I could see him really lighting it up next year with another team, especially against us. 

I have no expectations for Wheatfall. I'd rather see us work in Echols, but it isn't gonna happen.

A couple of good changes, but Demski is a BIG loss.

If we can't beat the Riders with Mair at QB, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

 

I have zero faith in this team.  And on multiple levels.  I hate saying that, but….

Don't be shocked he out till at least playoffs...if we get there that is.

And even then don't count on it...tho with Osh's track record..and our dismal depth and roster i am sure he will be out there gimping it up

Yeah...Sadly the same. The last game i looked at as a key indicator of what we are and can be...and we showed what I expected...hoped for different but expected what we got...tho not shocked as I seen this transpiring thru the season right from break of camp

Bombers Inconsistency starts with the QB.....

Half the time ZC is simply no longer good enough - panic decisions and decreased arm strength become a feature. 

 When Zac gets the time to get deep into reads and gets into a rhythm....he can still be productive.    But 40% of the time or whatever.....will just not cut it, moving forward.

Really worry about this looking at next year

Which Zac will we see, this week?

Is Zach calling plays for him to pass the ball 60 yards when he can’t throw it 30 yards consistently cuz I doubt it. The OC is a huge problem. Hogan goes and I’ll bet Zach gets better. He does get happy feet tho but I would also behind this oline. Do ppl watch kolo? Cuz he snaps it to Zach then does nothing. There’s immediate pressure right up the middle most times.

Also the OL... I still believe in Zach but he doesn't have the right tools around him. I definitely agree that he's probably making too much money (probably - we don't know) for a guy that needs all the conditions to be right in order to be effective. At like 400k... Build a proper OL, get better receivers, possibly a better OC (again, we have no clue...) and I think Zach can get it done. Like, if Collaros is on the Als right now, I think they're absolute murderers.
