What does this have to do with the QB?
I'd suggest that in the history of Football you win zero games where you give up 55pts and 7TD's.
Nobody wins in Winnipeg period and this was men against boys and Bombers flexing muscles. Game was decided on Bombers bringing their A game this time and guys like Lawler having a crazy good night. D couldn't stop the pass, couldn't stop the run. We gave up 460passing yds. Again you just don't win doing that.
Thompson missed receivers, true, but a lot of that had to do with having to go for desperation longbombs and receivers also flat out dropping balls.
We could have Warren Moon in tonight and we lose this game. Bombers are real good when they play their A game.
The only thing the offense could have changed is by stopping the bleeding in the early part of the game. After two long drives, Edmonton gets one first down, then turns it over, then right back at it for a touchdown, then two and out, then touchdown then the fumble, etc. Winnipeg had more Touchdowns than Edmonton had First Downs until well beyond the 3 minute warning of the first half.
At some point in that first half the defense needed a long drive by the offense to gather their composure on the sidelines and try to settle down and catch their breath, but every time they had to march right back onto the field within a couple minutes.
Then once your down 31-0, it's pretty hard for anyone to gather themselves. By all means the defense wears this debacle, but if the offense had showed up at all, maybe things settle down a bit quicker.
