Blue Bombers 2022 Season Thread - Stunning Loss. Dynasty Interrupted. 2023 awaits.

[bustamente]

Line is another year older and not off to a great start, Gray is the weakest link, Desjarlais really missed

 

[None]

Geoff Gray really needs to step up soon or Liam Dobson is starting next week.

I was really hopeful for him after week 1 but he's very quickly regressing back to what we thought he was. Even on that big play to Wolitarsky he was getting manhandled.

 

[DerekDevils30]

I see a Ottawa D that really isn’t scared of anyone on offence right now.

 

[None]

Camera not following the ball early on and now TSN completely lost the feed

 

[Blitzkrug]

Collaros likes to play risky, always have. Big concern is now he doesn't have the WR talent to erase those bad/ill-advised throws.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Agreed. I had huge hopes for Gray but he just doesnt look like a guy that can start. I've heard Dobson has a nasty streak, that can be huge in the interior right now. We need some swagger.

And he loses his man again just now leading to a sack. Probably needs to just be pulled from this game.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Alright. That’s enough Gray

 

[gojetsgo]

gray is gonna get collaros hurt

 

[DerekDevils30]

Giving up 2nd and 17 hurts

 

[Larabee]

We’re just not the same team this year. Lost too many good players.

 

[TS Quint]

That sack by Mack was something special. He had that play dead on every fake By himself.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'm not going to say they're bad yet, but because of the talent drain they're obviously playing below even my "they'll probably still be a good team, but not top dog" expectations.

Hard for any team to overcome the amount of talent lost. Reminds me of when the Jets lost essentially their entire defense core the summer after they went to the WCF

 

[bustamente]

Last week was not good, this week even worse

 

[Holden Caulfield]

And he loses his man again just now leading to a sack. Probably needs to just be pulled from this game.

Our only backup is journeyman Chris Kolankowski. Not sure if thats better.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Any hope of a deep threat in the passing game has no hope with the current O line play. Gray has been beaten like a drum and even Neufeld blew an assignment earlier which led to a sack

 

[None]

Our only backup is journeyman Chris Kolankowski. Not sure if thats better.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

It's actually kind of impressive how bad Gray is being a 4th year pro and someone who got NFL looks. I thought for a while that maybe he was just terribly cast with tackle potential but he's playing the easiest position on the OL (with a right handed QB) and just getting beaten like a rented mule.

I mean I disagree. It isnt as if theyve bled that much talent. It might more age. They were an old team last year, they're older this year. Honestly I expected a hot start and a drop off this year. The weak start isnt giving me confidence.

 

[DerekDevils30]

The D deserves a lot of credit. Some hiccups here and there but they’re keeping them in it despite being on the field a ton and getting no support.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Couture banged up. Hope he‘s alright

 

[None]

Oh boy, Couture's hurt. Can't even replace Gray if they need to now

 

[DerekDevils30]

Zach loves finding Ellingson

 

[bustamente]

Outplayed most of the first half down by a deuce, 2nd half needs to be much better

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Dru Brown is 5'11" 195lbs. Joe Mancusco is 6'3" 218lbs. Why is Mancusco not doing the sneaks?

 

[gojetsgo]

the bad: the 1st half
the good: we are only down 2 and play better in the second half

Dru Brown is 5'11" 195lbs. Joe Mancusco is 6'3" 218lbs. Why is Mancusco not doing the sneaks?

didn't get much reps this week
