OT: y - Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread (11-7) - West Final awaits. Banjo pickers coming to town in post-season. - Next vs Sask Nov 9 530pm

[Blitzkrug]

Lol the Elks DB just stare at Demski

 

[snowkiddin]

Huge field goal to stretch the lead to five possessions.

 

[FonRiesen]

Nice catch by Demski. Thought it might have hit the ground live, but the replay seemed to show a legit catch.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Elks pros and cons;

Pro: Their indigenous heritage logo is actually really f***ing sick.

Cons: everything else.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

MBT is such a Checkdown Charlie. His ball placement downfield is abysmal.

 

[FonRiesen]

Is Tre Ford terrible in practice, or is he a jerk to coaches, or why can he possibly be constantly benched in favour of crap?

I know people have been harping on it but it legit does feel like there's an organizational conspiracy against Tre Ford to keep him from getting a long term look.

Yeah, he was bad against Winnipeg. No one is denying that. But he's still young and the Bombers defense is by far the class of the CFL.

Despite playing fairly well prior to that, he gets the hook. The whole damn league knows what MBT is and even if he was the better option, he's also in his late 30s which means he's not going to be around to help you when you're actually ready to not suck again.

Edmonton straight up needs to nuke it from orbit in the offseason. full on organizational purge.

It's always difficult to get a Ford to start.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Oh now they go for it on 3rd

 

[snowkiddin]

Lawler with one of the best catches ... ever?

Better than OBJ's in the end zone against Dallas

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Elks D can’t stop a nosebleed.

Another passing TD for Collaros. You know he’d love a 5 TD outing to pretty up those stats.

 

[FonRiesen]

And Lawler caps off a great drive. Nice to have so many good receivers again.

 

[snowkiddin]

This has been 2021 Collaros tonight

 

[Holden Caulfield]

This has been 2021 Collaros tonight

To be fair, Lawler has bailed him out a couple of times, most notably on that last out where he one handed it

He's buying time with his feet and finding an open guy downfield, that's more what I meant.

Love seeing Geno Lewis showboating and talking shit when down three TDs

 

[Hank Chinaski]

No show defensive backfield from Elks. This is child’s play.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

No show defensive backfield from Elks. This is child’s play.

This Bombers O has been by far the worst in the league and particularly worst pass O. Elks not offering any resistance. Good confidence builder hopefully.

 

[FonRiesen]

Good to see elite Lawler back.

 

[snowkiddin]

Nice tackling on the Demski TD

 

[Blitzkrug]

Drop 60 on these goofs.

 

[FonRiesen]

Nice tackling on the Demski TD

This is probably the most relaxing game of the year... No stress at all (shutting out BC comes close, I guess, but there was the potential threat of Rourke waking up)

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Bombers playing on Rookie difficulty.

 

[FonRiesen]

Edmonton's D has put almost no pressure on Collaros. Not sure if it's our O Line doing amazing or their D Line sucking

 

[Blitzkrug]

These defensive players are making some business decisions on these "tackles"

f***ing woof.

Holy shit Lawler.

Have yourself a game, bud.

 

[snowkiddin]

Lawler going nuclear tonight
