OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2023 Season - Another terrible disappointment. NEXT: Tough Decisions on How to Rebuild.

[snowkiddin]

Richie Hall's zone getting abused again

 

[jiho]

Horrible defence. Abysmal

Looks like the Bombers and Jets use the same Dzone coverage

 

[snowkiddin]

That's a laughable PI

 

[rkp]

omg

 

[None]

What a braindead decision in coverage.

 

[rkp]

game over

 

[snowkiddin]

One of the worst calls in recent memory. Bad, bad look for the CFL in such a huge matchup. Even Lions fans are saying it was incredibly weak

 

[jetsforever]

Not a great start

 

[ThinIce61]

Not a good sports day in Winnipeg. No way this team win the Grey Cup. They won't even be there. Unless they are in the stands watching.

 

[Weezeric]

If that’s pass interference, there is pass interference on every play

 

[snowkiddin]

Offence has been fine, but the D is brutal. That phantom call didn't help matters but they should've had VA sacked about 70 yards before

 

[snowkiddin]

Other than a couple of self-inflicted miscues, the offence has been doing well. The defence is gonna f*** us if they don't tighten up and stop the 2nd and long conversions

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Imagining horrific blowout from comments. Checks and sees only down by 10 points with 3/4 of the game left to play. Wonders WTF is with some people?

 

[snowkiddin]

And that's the game I think. Defence didn't bother showing up.

 

[None]

 

[LadyJet26]

What an atrocious call. Hatcher made contact first.

Bad snap.

 

[jetsforever]

Wow nice TD

 

[snowkiddin]

That's not even on the f***ing shitass zone. Rose just got beat. Pretty frustrating start.

 

[ThinIce61]

JFC.

Adjourning to watch some horror movies as is tradition here in the month of October. Downside is they will be far less scary than the crapitude I've just been watching.

 

[LadyJet26]

Our D is once again playing like hot garbage

 

[None]

For as much talk there was about the o-line getting old and decrepit I feel like we should've been talking about the d-line just as much.

Zero real pressure without bringing a blitz and can't contain anything without a spying LB.

I don't like our chances. Vernon Adams always seems to play well against the Bombers. Given they are in the dome and O'Shea seems stubbornly set with his 6 d-linemen (most teams go with 7 or 8 d-linemen) with minimal rotation to give rest to aging vets like Jeffcoat and Jefferson who should only see 60-70 % of the snaps, I think Adams will pass for 300 + yards easy.

The bombers have to hope to limit at least a few of those drives to field goals (any hopefully some Adams' interceptions which he can be prone) , while the offense can afford few two and outs and need to maximize their drives with tds, not field goals...unlike last week's game...to keep pace Also need some lengthy drives (8+ plays) to limit the number of times the Lions' offense is on the field for the game.

A slow start by the Bombers on both sides of the ball, likely puts the Bombers behind by 3 scores at the half, and too far behind to mount a comeback. Adams is a legit starter and not a backup or third stringer like the Bombers have faced the past few weeks. Don't expect him to fade or let up if the Bombers figure things out after a couple of lacklustre quarters.

First to 38 points wins.

-defense getting minimal pressure.
-Collaros and the offense stalling.
-Vernon Adams running roughshod over the Bombers with 190 yards passing in 1.5 quarters.
-BC nearly halfway to 38 points.

Game's not quite over, but it's close to being over.

 

[jetsforever]

Grant TD!!!

 

[snowkiddin]

Good response by the offence. Now do something, D

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Needed that TD badly.

Can Hall's defense keep Adams to a field goal or less this drive?
