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

[FlyerNutter]

That defense looks like prime time Richie Hall stuff. It’s cost them the last couple years, to give the opposing QB so much time. He’s faced zero pressure basically all game long.

I don’t like to absolve the men on the field, but that’s some ass backwards coaching the first half.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

shouldnt have thrown into double coverage

It wasn't double coverage. Collaros actually read the D right, but Franklin abandoned his man to cover the deep corner, leaving no one within 25 yards of Clercius along the sideline. Collaros read the D right, didn't read the play right. Shoulda went to Clercius.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Not an ideal half but the Bombers defense bent rather than broke. You always take that.

 

[snowkiddin]

Rough first half for sure. Collaros needs to cool it with the risk-taking. Playing game-manager should be enough to get it done.

 

[FlyerNutter]

I think Brady touched the ball 3-4 times that half? That’s insanity.

Is there that little trust in the offensive line to open a hole?

I don’t know the time of possession but I’d wager it strongly favours TO.

 

[blues10]

Perhaps we can throw some short stuff in the 2nd half and control
The ball more.

so it was double coverage...collaros took the easy lazy shot

 

[FlyerNutter]

The 3 man rush also negates the ability of Jefferson imo.

You’re allowing him just to be swallowed up when he’s got an ability to have such a greater impact.

Prove me wrong coach, but that’s ass backwards stupidity with the play calling the first half.

[snowkiddin]

Three-man rush has been working for most of the season, but Arbuckle is getting WAY too much time, and the coverage is breaking down.

On offence, we should be getting Brady much more involved. Stop trying to play hero ball. Just control the ball and the clock and keep getting points.

 

[WPGChief]

Don't think Arbuckle has been great but he's been good enough, especially with some luck going his way to convert some of those 2nd-and-long's - however I'm worried with the confidence it might open up the playbook for Dinwiddie for some of those explosive plays that is the Argos bread-and-butter.

Bombers offence got past their first drive jitters for two strong drives that ended in a TD and FG, but they need to control the ball for way longer and just methodically tear apart the defence, not always launch for the deep balls. Need to tire TOR out, but they've only had the ball for 13 minutes with two long drives, the rest have been pretty quick - that gives them a good advantage for the second half if the likes of Ceresna, McManis, and Franklin are still "fresh" to make plays.

 

[snowkiddin]

LaPolice’s adjustment for the second half

“don’t try to run the ball”

Thank God he isn’t calling plays for us anymore

 

[snowkiddin]

Jefferson is beating his guy and then playing contain for some reason

We’re making too many mistakes. Sloppy

 

[jetsforever]

Hope we don't regret that rouge

 

[FonRiesen]

Well, now we better get points on this drive. I hate giving up free points...

 

[snowkiddin]

Give up the point for field position so we HAVE to score here

 

[FlyerNutter]

If they go for that deep ball desperation shit right away we will know no adjustments.

 

[snowkiddin]

It’s going the way Toronto wants. Comes down to one play to win the game, and they have more gamebreakers

 

[FonRiesen]

Oliveira time. Set him free

 

[snowkiddin]

Six carries for Brady in the first half won’t get it done

Grey Cup Collaros!

 

[FonRiesen]

Brady gave us 5, he did his job. We gotta be better.

 

[Larabee]

Get Collaros out of the frigging pocket !!

 

[rkp]

this looks like more and more like a movie i have seen before

 

[FonRiesen]

Not sure why we cleared the backfield. Loses the possibility of a run.

Garbage. Lost our field position advantage. Come on, D!!

 

[None]

2nd and 4 and there's no pressure whatsoever.
