Mr Dee Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Bowman dropped 4 catchable balls in this game, 2 that could have gone for TD's. I swear that's the Bowman who was with the Bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Bowman became Bowman when it counted. Flashbacks of yesteryears. All of a sudden a crossover becomes less and less appealing. I'd still rather go through southern Ontario than Calgary given this teams history in Calgary and how solid the Stamps look. BattleLevel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticRiderFan Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Eastern sweep this weekend? Would be nice ... Doubt it. Calgary is going to have an easy time against Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USABomberfan Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think Montreal will be a menace to Calgary, but once again Higgins and his inept offensive staff will blow it. Now Ottawa has the game in the bag as long as they blitz the life out of Sunseri, and if they start Joey Elliot IC Khari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear that's the Bowman who was with the Bombers. Yup, and the Riders before them. He's is so physically gifted but mentally soft at times. Looked like he was turning over a new leaf this season.

pigseye Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Both those dlines dominate against so-so olines, pretty darn good game overall though and the result was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Seems like quite a few teams need to take a hard look at their OL this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Too many QB injuries because offences have not evolved the same way defences have to counter the speed of the rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfranc Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Too many QB injuries because offences have not evolved the same way defences have to counter the speed of the rush. The extra designated imports this year have really improved the defences league wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 It's the cyclical nature of the league. Offenses adjusted a while back but now defenses have caught up. Some one is going to adjust on offense again at some point and start the cycle over again. I mean hell you go back 10 years and teams were only just starting to use one db at linebacker, now you have basically 1 standard with 2 common.

When d-lines and LBs become huge again, scat backs and stokes/thigpen type players excel.. then it will shift again to smaller front sevens again and bruising RB/FB become all the rage.. The only real constant is you always want big, fast, speedy receivers and big, athletic, smart DBs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlanticRiderFan Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Well, it seems that a west vs west Grey Cup won't be give me by any stretch. Wouldn't be surprised Tbh if this year is a rematch of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueandgold Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Bowman has to be the most frustrating player in the entire league. I don't care how good he is, I couldn't handle having a player that inconsistent on my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how good he is, I couldn't handle having a player that inconsistent on my team. This is his curse. Tough to have a guy that could let you down at the most crucial part of the game. Super gifted player however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is yet another example (if you needed one) that talent alone isn't enough. Athletes need to have the instinct and the competitive attitude to be at the top of their games.

It's not an issue with instinct .. it's the mental part of his game that lacks .. and he's demonstrated that time and again with every team that he's been a part of ..

SmokinBlue Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Doesn't matter how much he drops if he still does more than 99 percent of the receivers in this league can even dream of doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does matter. If the game is on the line will he make the catch? Reliability matters big time at all positions. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 There are a lot of great "practice players" who look good until the game is on the line, and then they suddenly seize up or become invisible. I used to play golf with a guy who would smoke me every game until there was a bet on the line, and then his game would fall apart. We've had too few Milt Stegalls around who have the talent plus the killer mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
