OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread (7-6) - No notes needed. - Next at EDM Sept 21 600pm

[WolfHouse]

Have to question the decision to go heavy $$ on receiving core and move on from solid players Hansen and Grant... only to scramble to sign vets after TC

Lawler out for 6 games at least it seems. Broken hand/wrist/arm...he's in a cast apparently.

 

[snowkiddin]

Lots of folks expecting/predicting a Ottawa win tomorrow.

If the Bombers do lose, it’s time to reevaluate, but IMO it was just one game and fans of the other teams are salivating at a potential Bombers downfall.

Also, forgot to mention, I’m surprised the big, bad BC Lions lost to the Toronto Backup QB Argos. Was a good game though.

A bit frustrating to see the money allocated to the receiving core as much as it is. Which I actually don’t know the number of, just what I remember hearing in snippets.

You are never going to get full value so to speak - out of the receiving core. Not if you are a team that uses Brady the right way. Which they should, because nobody can deny that Collaros isn’t showing his age the last couple seasons.

The defense has been a concern for a number of years, and they have neglected it imo.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

So Oliveira, Lawler, and backup DT Josh Woods come out. Bighill, recent signee depth Canadian FB Feltmate, and rookie WR Keric Wheatfall come in. Looks like Ontaria Wilson is sliding inside and Wheatfall will play out at WR.

Defense played real solid in game 1. Hopefully that can continue. Offense lost two of it's top weapons, but it will still look much better this next game, IMO. Johnny Augustine is a quality backup back, and Collaros/Schoen/Demski will answer the bell. We'll see tmw.

Oliveira injured how?
And I guess it has become a trademark of Winnipeg franchises in any sport that ST's suck.
I thought I saw Brad Lauer on the sidelines against the Als.
Bombers don't know how to properly use Ehlers either. He was completely invisible the whole game.

2 big losses on the field going into tomorrows game and after last weeks game the Bombers will be up against it. Maybe the D can win this one for us

Looking forward to a nice rebound win tonight!

Our lack of starting depth on the DL and over loading the LB corp is baffling. Nearly every other team starts 8+ DL, we NEED DL rotation!

He appears to of hurt his knee during off season workouts. He said he went to hard or something. So yah, it has been lingering.

All of a sudden this is a very mortal lineup...

 

[jamiebez]

Will be attending tonight here in Ottawa.

Thunderstorms likely around 9-10PM local.

Time to get into the win column

That lineup isn't going to scare anyone let alone the RedBlacks. And who the heck is Feltmate? I may be overly pessimistic but this could be a long season.

Feltmate was just added a couple days ago. Spent a couple years in Hamilton, a veteran depth STer

Redblacks OL is the worst line in the league by a wide margin, worse than even the Elks.

If we’re not in Dru Brown’s grill on nearly every snap, something is seriously wrong.

 

[bustamente]

I thought the D line played really well last week but it looks like they removed a couple of guys for tonight.

 

[snowkiddin]

This game will tell us a lot about this team.

Much hullabaloo, but we were like a combined six inches away from two touchdowns against Montreal, and the blown face mask call put the game away. Not making excuses. They played terrible and Montreal played like they wanted to prove last year wasn’t a fluke, but all is not lost yet.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Lets show em who’s boss!

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Haba hurt early

 

[White Out 902]

I can sometimes be a bit of a Negative Nancy and I'm going to go out and put myself on a limb here. I think Brown has a huge game and Collaros again. I think we let a legitimate starter slept through our fingers trying to cash in on one or two more years of Zach

 

[snowkiddin]

Brown is staring down receivers. He’s gonna run into trouble.

Haba hurt early

Team can’t catch a break

 

[snowkiddin]

Lots of Redblacks holding early on

Lazy tackling

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Offense picking up where it left off last week, ie. awful.
