Kickoff is 7:30. Rain is likely this evening. Make sure to allow yourselves extra time to get to the game with all of the lane closures on the routes to the stadium. 

Losing a pre-season game doesn't matter at all. The fact that so many starters were manhandled by back-ups, at home no less, should be a concern. Not the way they wanted to enter the season, that's for sure.

Willy was 11 of 16 for 142 in the first half. Sounded like he was ok. Losing both cotton and carlos Anderson probably didn't help the o much when willy was in but cotton came back and scored later in game. Marve sounded solid. Should be 2. Brohm not so good. At the end of the day bombers won time of possession and lots of stats but lost in a game that is now meaningless and was all about evaluation so the plus side is willy looked good. Pass protection was good. No sacks first half. Marshall looks like that thunder back. Bastien had a good game too. Others did also. Very vanilla tho apparently

You are slightly over reacting here. Just slightly. Manhandled?

D was vanilla. Stats say the O moved the ball. Not sure what's so concerning honestly. Maybe lirim missing a fg and convert is concerning but didn't see the game myself so can't really say much else was especially being as vanilla as we apparently were

That was the way it was described on the broadcast (sounded that way too)!

By who? Doug "all about the drama" brown?

I listened and I didn't really get that sense at all.

Some concerns but all teams have them. People need to remember Austin is a Damn good coach and that Hamilton team is Damn good starters or not. We were missing some key players too.

I don't get the concentrating on the bad when there was plenty of good and if you refuse to accept there was good then honestly sucks to be you and sucks that you take a game that was more about evaluation than winning so seriously

Can someone write up a breakdown of what happened?  I missed the game tonight.  Maybe some highlights of the good and the bad.

Drew Willy - 11-17  fpr 142 yards, no TDs but also no interceptions.

 

Robert Marve - 11-16 for 115 yards, 42 rushing yards, no TDs but also no interceptions

 

all the rest ... well Brohm was a little shaky.

 

 

But I'm not worried about the O.  The D seems to be our problem, sure hope Hall can get it fixed and his success in SSK wasn't based on the players alone and untied to the scheme.

Bombers D looked really bad when Colaros was in. Our offence did not impress much tonight. Kick coverage was horrible,

I hope this game puts an end to the ridiculous cut Robert Marve brigade that's been picking up steam.

D was playing a lot of soft zone D tonight. 

I hope this game puts an end to the ridiculous cut Robert Marve brigade that's been picking up steam.

Maybe the only bright spot to emerge from tonight's game (again). How he's not already the back-up to Willy is beyond comprehension.

Probably cuz he was a cfl rookie last year. Really the most silly thing to do would be to make a rookie with no cfl experience back up in his first year. That's how careers are ruined.

Marve and willy have similar numbers but Marve is the only bright spot? Unreal.

Marve looked good but defence was really sitting back and giving him space by that point.

My biggest concern would be he first team defence getting their asses handed to them tonight.

I hope this game puts an end to the ridiculous cut Robert Marve brigade that's been picking up steam.

 

I don't even understand that sillyness anyway.  Cut Marve for ... Partridge?  Moniz?  Sunseri?  All of those are downgrades and only barely serviceable at best.  Our QB situation is fine and doesn't need fixing.

 

Our O-line ??? No thanks to those doosh's at TSN I have no idea what kind of shape that's in, but I expect we're better in that department.

 

I only hope our holes on defense have been because Hall is intentionally going vanilla so he can throw the ripples at Darrian Durant come opening night but if that isn't the case .... Maybe we can call up Randy Melvin and tell him he has a job as DC here.

Are you always this ignorant?

No sacks first half. 2 in second. Huge improvement. Our depth OL is better than our starters last year

It's not ignorant. You saying Marve was the only bright spot is tho.

Willy was good. Bastien was. Marshall appears to be that goal line power back. Cotton played well. The OL was solid. Freeman wright Richardson all had good games. Ignorance is saying one player was the only bright spot when plenty of others played well too.

I'd say Kris Bastien was the biggest bright spot tonight. JFG looked good too. Really disappointed in our American running backs and receivers. Hopefully they look better when the season starts.

You know what's most concerning really? Lirim missed a convert and fg.

Marve's accomplishments occurred with under 6 minutes of playing time.  Willy played an entire half + the first series of the third.

I like Marve and I'd be shocked and disappointed if they let him go.

But the fact is he was playing against third stringers running a prevent defence. Really hard to judge a QB in those circumstances. Of course it's better that he looked good than bad, but hard to say more than that.

Marve also played against a defense who was very obviously playing to prevent anything big and left the entire intermediate portion of the field wide open.

Not to sensationalize things, but Marve was essentially 0/3 on throws he actually had to earn. He played well, but that performance didn't inspire much more confidence in him than I already had - a moderate amount.

Agreed, just pissed off that they relegated him to that portion of the game.  Reeks of Max Hall before he was cut.
