OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread - Footnote it is. Another long off-season ahead.

[puck stoppa]

I’m glad Holden thinks the season isn’t a write off, bombers stink. See you next year.

 

[ThinIce61]

Oh well. Bombers won a couple Cups while I still live and breathe. Where's the tank thread.

Quite the shitty Winnipeg sports weekend.

 

[gojetsgo]

it's sad because we could have easily been 3-1...

dumb play calling by buck at the end in OT...u could see they were gonna blitz...and he calls for a drop back pass instead of RPO

Buck has made a lot of dumb play calls this year

 

[WolfHouse]

Strev's mechanics are so weird - he had a nice drive but a vet QB can't make that throw in OT... teams are going to have a field day now that they have film of him

Holm needs to be replaced - a DB can't lead your team in tackles

OL is in crisis - Lofton doesn't have footspeed, Neufeld/Kolo not making reads, communication is bad

DL - Thomas/Schmeck getting zero push - Americans have their moments though

Oliviera deserves to be pissed - Buck's game planning is right back to Lapo level

ST looking sharp on both sides.. could have some nice receivers in training

Osh needed to call a timeout when he saw Calgary load up in OT

Welcome back to Matt Nichols Mike Oshea football - I had forgotten what it was like...

At the very least, Streveler needs to recognize it and call an audible.

Is Collaros out long term? Buck's going to have to completely shift his gameplanning if Strev takes his place.

don't think we will know for until practice

Or just take the sack, kick the field goal and you're still in it.

i dont think they there is timeout in OT

 

[bustamente]

This team has stayed loyal to players that were part of 2 grey cups who are well past their prime, there's lot of bad on this team starting with the O line, linebackers are terrible, D line has been gutted by injuries, the punter sucks, receiving core after 2 major injuries is sub par and ZC looks cooked.

Neufeld's read on the play near the end of the 1st half that knocked Collaros out for a bit was brutal.

A Collaros injury is just icing on the shit cake, hard to win any games down your QB1, WR 1 and 2, half your defensive line, and a starter in the secondary.

They’ve got themselves a hole to dig out of now, especially losing to a team like Calgary.

This should’ve been done weeks ago, really, but hey nice to see him back.

don't know if they could have afforded it until schoen went down

 

[snowkiddin]

That’s a good point, but I think with Lawler and Lawson on the 6-game they should’ve had some gap. But yeah with Schoen done for the year and a bunch of rookies we desperately needed something. I think Lucky will fit back in well.

Lucky had kind of lost a step... I actually didn't think our receivers were a huge problem other than the learning curve

I just think we’re far enough into the bench at this point that a veteran presence is needed

If I have to watch Kramdi play another series in which he either loses his guy in coverage or closes too fast and loses his contain and gets beat on speed, I might go insane.

Just when Collaros look like he was shaking his rust from not having played any pre-season games, he gets injured because Dobson stopped blocking his guy and went to double team on the edge rusher and left his QB super vulnerable in a mid-throwing motion. And then Streveler comes in and... looks like he hasn't played any pre-season games as he constantly threw behind his target. (And Buck Pierce didn't help, as he didn't call a rushing play to Oliveira until there was 2:55 left to go in the 3rd quarter. Like... why???)

Bombers are losing winnable games, and while I'm not explicitly pointing to the lack of pre-season games as the pure reason why, it's the most obvious example of their hubris coming back to haunt them. It's embarrassing for a team that we expect to be much, much better than this current display.

I’m afraid you’re going to go insane, then.

Yup Kramdi is one of Osh's favorites.

Hurl 2.0, except exacerbated by a shaky secondary. At least Hurl was only expected to plug a gap as a basically immobile MLB.

Fort Hew is now Fort Hubris?

1. Why bother calling this a Jordan Younger D - Hall is still up in the booth... except now every play Jake Thomas just gets washed - our DL is starting to gel and its very apparent Thomas is not keeping up - watch pursuit... Thomas is never even close - if we are still playing a Hall D, it needs constant pressure

2. the confusing Buck Pierce play calling... its just really reminiscent of Lapo where he is outthinking himself with playcalls and then ends up keeping Oliviera's usage super basic.

Then add basic clock mismanagement almost every game now... and THEN just baffling calls for the redzone in OT - how does he not go to the Strev/Oliviera option on that last series... and then when he doesn't, there's no quick out for the pressure - its Lapo slow evolving curls that didnt work six years ago

Wow never would have bet the Bombers would start 0 and 4 , injuries are really bad right now damnit .
