July 26, 201510 yr Positives DL is looking a lot better, Gibson looks fast Aside from one tackle tonight, Randle is looking good at SAM LH punting nice Cam Marshall - we have Thunder and LIghtning if our coaches want to use it... could be dominant OL is good when we're aggressive, sat back too much in 2nd half Lots of film to send to the league ...um... Entertaining watching Hurl tackle guys super high and then try to body slam them ...um... And... we lost way worse when Burke was in charge!

I appreciate your optimism but a lot of what you said is a stretch.
July 26, 201510 yr Author That's the thing... Westerman is turning into the ratio breaker we were promised... and Bucknor is good enough that we don't talk about him anymore... that's two solid NIs on D - should only have to rotate Hurl, Thomas or whoever... As painful as it sounds, I would rewatch the last quarter to see how Greaves did at RT Bombers have always won with strong D and the run game - we're close, coaches will realize that.

Its a positive thread after a 32-3 game where we lost our starting QB and stuck with a 31 year old journeyman... no one said it wasn't a stretch.
July 26, 201510 yr I thought Westerman, Collins and Gibson looked good on the D-line. The entire D played well for around 38 minutes, right up until Willy's injury Marshall ran well but was underused again, especially considering the conditions.
July 26, 201510 yr The D played well until they had to be out on the field constantly, after all of the INT's.
July 26, 201510 yr Heard the bombers went 2 and out 7 times. 6 with willy. Difference was willy wasn't throwing interceptions on our side of the field.
July 26, 201510 yr Lirim played really good BUT there were no point after attempts so that part is still a mystery.
July 26, 201510 yr I still believe the Bombers could have won if Willy hadn't been injured and he had the opportunity to play after the rain stopped. The fact that the rain stopped right after his injury is a clear sign that God wasn't even on the Bombers side tonight.
July 26, 201510 yr Positive from this poster is that I missed the game for the Fringe Festival. I won't bother watching this nightmare on replay.
July 26, 201510 yr Westerman was a beast tonight. No need for Bryant Turner or Peach anymore. Collins and Gibson looked very good to. Turner is wasting space on the field and cap.
July 26, 201510 yr Brohm didn't throw a INT for a touchdown....... Mike O'Shea still has that toothpaste grin..... We have a good handle on what not to do....when Willy is hurt....
July 26, 201510 yr You guys thought that was bad? You shoulda Sat through that rain while watching it....
July 26, 201510 yr You guys thought that was bad? You shoulda Sat through that rain while watching it.... You can say that again. My son and I left at halftime. I figured one of two things would happen - rain would continue and I'd be very un-entertained (that first half off football was terrible) or the rain would stop and we'd see what we saw. Positive from the bombers - I agree on Westerman - first game I really noticed him, and Marshall look like a keeper. But that was about it. Our coverage sucks on D and our offensive schemes aren't that good. How could the Eskies have plays ran with so many wide open uncovered players and yet our schemes couldn't do that?
July 26, 201510 yr Both our RB's have looked allright this season but our run game has become so predictable. Up the gut, up the gut, up the gut and repeat. All teams need to do is stack the box and the odds are with the defence. Have we once ran the ball outside of the tackles this year? If so, I can't remember. MB is our weak link and quite frankly I've never been a proponent of firing coaches mid season but he would be my one exception.

Good time to bring in the infamous "consultant" to give Marcel a hand with the O. In my experience. When a consultant is brought in to fix a problem. Those that caused the problem are soon walking the plank.
July 26, 201510 yr How can anyone be positive after watching that??? We all know what we saw so I won't rehash it.
Positives
DL is looking a lot better, Gibson looks fast
Aside from one tackle tonight, Randle is looking good at SAM
LH punting nice
Cam Marshall - we have Thunder and LIghtning if our coaches want to use it... could be dominant
OL is good when we're aggressive, sat back too much in 2nd half
Lots of film to send to the league
...um...
Entertaining watching Hurl tackle guys super high and then try to body slam them
...um...
And... we lost way worse when Burke was in charge!
