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

[roccerfeller]

Uhhhhhhh broadcast - showed the practice

Edit: lol there we go. We are back!

 

[None]

Blatant hold on Walker there.

Bombers fans, I have a question:

Whose name and number should I get on the back of my late-birthday-gift Bombers jersey?

I've got it narrowed down to two:

1. Castillo #41, because A. no one ever shows kickers any love, B. being a contrarian is kind of my thing, C. I've got a history among my friends of being said contrarian enough to actually cheer for the kickers, and D. he really is an unsung hero on this team, as we found out last year >.<

2. Oliveira #20, because A. he's a completely goddamn awesome human being and B. despite people drawing attention to him for how awesome his is for his pet rescues, he's too humble (the bastard) to acknowledge it.

 

[None]

Yeah, they're not getting that RTP call.

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

You know its bad when your GM takes a penalty

Daramy-Shwarma!!!!!

Appreciate Ottawa's defender tackling Oliveira cleanly there. Thought for sure we were about to see a brutal horsecollar.

I'm not hungry, actually, but I'll look them up tomorrow.

So who should I get? Oliveira just got one extra vote for that freestyle monster play

"misses a tackle over the top" (CJOB guys), so maybe it wasn't a matter of intent as much as he failed?

 

[FFHockey]

This has been an underwhelming effort…in my eyes anyways. Not the worst, just not that impressive

That goal line stand gave me some hope. And full marks to Ottawa for some very smart decisions lately on 3rd down.

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

Richie Hall in prevent all second half... letting Ottawa stay alive

Ottawa getting some nice garbage stats until they get to the 10 yard line and the Bombers decide to try... feel bad for Dyce - I'd be offering MBT big money

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

Man, I love the CFL.

 

[roccerfeller]

Ok I wrote Ottawa off

Too soon. Lets go blue

 

[None]

This really shouldn't have been this close.

 

[roccerfeller]

Wow lol

Im so confused

 

[None]

Bombers playing soft zone coverage all drive and still getting beaten 10+ yards deep consistently

 

[DerekDevils30]

Schoen drop, Oliveira fumble, Zach pick six. This one should have been over a long time ago.

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

First of all... Im a Bob Dyce fanboy. So this is the best ending I could have asked for...

Second of all... the bombers played like cocky pricks in that second half - and this is what we deserved.

Thirdly... man, I love the CFL.

Edit: Fourth of all.. .wtf is a fourth period inning in football?

 

[AlphaLackey]

Lol. How the f*** does Ottawa choose to go second?

I think all facets of the Bombers game has been off at times this game.

Punting hasn't been great, coverage as a result has been miserable.
Return game (expectedly) not as great without Grant.
Run game non-existent.
Pass game inconsistent or bad as a result.
O-Line has been miserable again.
Last drive on D just giving up 10+ every play basically uncontested even only rushing 3 and spying 1.

Get the Castillo jersey...

 

[tbcwpg]

Whoops

 

[AlphaLackey]

Very good, Castillo

After that kick, I'm gonna say that the place-kicking has been elite, like we need.

 

[None]

Briggs really can't be the guy spying Crum there

Brutal angle of pursuit and doesn't have the legs to play catch up.

 

[roccerfeller]

I mean. Shitty for us fans.

Bombers did this to themselves.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Yeah.

I'll say this much as a gambling man -- even though I'd have likely lost, I wish I had money on this game. These are the roller-coaster rides we do what we do for.
