Huge game.  Montreal looks like they will be the Bombers' main competition for the final playoff spot.

 

 

Sergio Castillo is on the roster.  I'm guessing the two healthy scratches will be Selvish Capers and D. Johnson, with Castillo coming on as the punter.

 

Nick Moore out.  Justin Veltung in.

 

For the first time in awhile we are not dressing a backup American defensive back.  Risky.

Tempted not to watch the second half... I've seen MB's brilliance when playing from behind far too many times...

Game is not over. A lot can happen in 30 mins.

Yeah we can end up down 50 to 3

sad but true Fraser. Nichols seems to be fighting it a bit - no 'quick' hitters as Duane Forde mentioned (funny I was wondering that too - you don't have to hold on to the ball for 5 seconds during a blitz usually someone is open off the line - though I give Nichols a pass right now as he's still learning our 'ahem' system).

Marcel has no clue. Case in point: 1st and 5 and we are punting after getting 2 yards

And another great special teams coverage by our squad....Get O'Shea out of there now and start looking at next year again...brutal..

Unbelievable.

For the first time, I'm worried about MOS......

Most of these should not be playing football in the CFL pure and simple there not good enough and the coaching and game day strategy is nonexistent.

Lulling Als into false confidence. We can still come back from this.

Thanks for helping me kill time till the NHL was back, Bombers.

See you next year!

3-32 five minutes into the second half.

 

Playoffs? LOL!

 

If heads don't roll after this one, I'm giving up on this season.

Miller! Fire Walters, O'Shea, and Bellefeuille and show us you care beyond the revenues generated by IGF.

Essentially a lame duck gm if the rumours are true....Go get Murphy or Tilman before the riders ...

What a horrible game plan and terrible play calling.

Rebuild number a billion

Troy Stoudemire can stay in Montreal.

Interesting comment on the Pre-Game Show, Joe Popp is in play-off mode and Mike O'Shea is not. Again O'Shea defers to the old "the players know the importance of this game and don't have to be told".

Looks like they did need to be told.

Tillman is a POS. Don't want him anywhere near here.

But with the Kyle rumors it's hard to imagine we don't have a complete new set of personnel next season from GM on down. Another re build.

Yep.

Bombers have me locked in for 2 more years but then it's single tickets, cause I'll save the cash post labour day rematch.

Troy Stoudemire can stay in Montreal.

 

Along with Marcel Bellefeuille     

Not sure why they aren't using Veltung back there. He was very good before Stoudemire came back and he's done absolutely nothing for us. Scary part is, just by sure dumb blind luck, he might return one for a TD then we get to listen to MOS say "I told you so". He can't even catch a pass. That's one guy who, when he gets cut, can't come too soon.

Don't get the veltung love at all, guy might have had a good game or 2 but he's done nothing in a long time. Veltung won't make a difference back there... it's not one guy that makes the difference, it's the entire unit... You could have the greatest return man in the history of football but if he has to do it all by himself all the time, he will suck. Stoudemire,Veltung,Washington,Henry Gizmo Williams, It's irrelevant really.

 

Look at how montreal sets up their blocking and then look at ours... We just lack the talent out there. It's really that simple and it's not 1 guy or 1 coach, it's a bunch of them. 

 

O'shea was good in  Toronto as special teams coach, he's played special teams, he's coached it, the guy was very good with Toronto..his resume says he's a good special teams coach but when you don't have the talent on the field, what can you do. What could Veltung do? Nothing, he'd look the same as stoudemire back there really. 

 

Part of me hopes they put him back there next game so people can stop with this it's just stoudemire stuff, stoudemire has sucked but... he's not the only guy out there sucking on special teams.

Not sure what games you watch Goalie - but when Veltung was there he took it north / south and always gained postive yards. Stoudemire doesn't seem to be able to read his blocks very well, and he thinks he can outrun the coverage by going backwards all the time. I disagree here completely my friend.

Just another example of MOS loyalty to his vets no matter what.Its ok though MOS is really popular with his players can't you tell?
