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

[Hank Chinaski]

Collaros is cooking.

Terrible coverage from Elks on both TDs.

 

[Board Bard]

Nice to see Collaros unleashing his bombs before the receivers outdistance his arm. Liked the 3rd-ddown stuffing too.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Hot take: Wheatfall is better than Johnson.

That take is milder than Popeye’s plain recipe chicken with a side of mashed potatoes, no gravy.

(Real talk, I actually love Popeye’s chicken LOL)

 

[FonRiesen]

2 & out. Bombers D lookin good

How was that late, low hit out of bounds not a penalty?

 

[None]

Kind of crazy that there wasn't a penalty there. Way late on Whitehead.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Collaros is cooking.

Terrible coverage from Elks on both TDs.

The first one was at least a miscommunication since Purifoy clearly lets his man go thinking he has help over the top.

Second one was just bad.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

I think i might have misunderstood but the Bombers can clinch the West this weekend?

No not yet. Can clinch a playoff spot.

Kinda looked like they were distracted by Lawler's route. Wheatfall definitely took advantage.

Was it 34 Edmonton? That's Les Maruo, he's pretty bitter at Bombers for not re-signing him this off-season. He's been making a big deal of it on social media.

 

[FonRiesen]

Demski toss worked well there...

 

[Blitzkrug]

Holy shit this team's coverage sucks.

That's another gimmie TD that Collaros just missed.

Correction: this team's defense just sucks in general.

 

[FonRiesen]

WHAAAAT? Oliveira unstoppable!

 

[Blitzkrug]

Great run by Oliveria but at the same time, the angles taken and tackle attempts make me want to gouge my eyes out as a football fan in general.

Did Chris Jones sneak back onto to the Elk bus when no one was looking?

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Edmonton Elks “are who we thought they were”?

Still lots of football left, but this is shaping up to be a beatdown.

 

[None]

Yeah, it was Maruo coming over the top

 

[Blitzkrug]

Yikes.

Bomber fans wanting to see Tre Ford again might get their wish at this point...just not quite in the way they expected.

Edit: I honestly do wonder how much of this is because of the QB change. This isn't just a team that looks bad, they straight up look like they'd rather be anywhere else. Like right back to before Jones got canned.

Before this Edmonton looked like a football team again. Not so much now.

 

[FonRiesen]

Wow, just wow. Edmonton really sucks. We're destroying them.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Maybe Elks pull it together?

If not, this is shaping up to be a fifty or even sixty burger. They look inept.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Appalling lack of effort from the Elks.

MBT put that ball a bit high but there's zero reason why the runningback can't bring that ball in especially when it hit him in the hands

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Eh. Pretty bad tackling but I suspect Bombers are just fine with Elks running the ball at this stage.

 

[Channelcat]

So.....we don't tackle anymore?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Lmao sending out the kicker down 31 in the second quarter.

Big brain shit at play here.

Breaking: Elks kicker hits ENORMOUS field goal to cut lead to 28

Seems like a white flag move. Might just take the L, rest some guys and hope they can win out in remaining three games.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I agree.

Still a really bad look imo. Yeah, being down 31 isn't what one would call ideal but there's still a full half to play. Throwing in the towel now just makes you look like a coward.

 

[snowkiddin]

Huge field goal to cut the lead down to four possessions.
