Canada's women's hockey team is going to have to play a near perfect game to beat the US. The US has a great PP, and look much faster then Canada.

This is closest to the truth. If you want to look at results for the defense, look at how well they faired against top teams game to game. Or even the better zone reading QBs. Arbuckle embarrassed our zone coverages mid way though the season. It never really got any better against the QBs who could do that.

The defense did have their moments, they played really well in a home game against Hamilton late in the season (as just one example) but it really was a middling year for the unit overall and for that reason, JY needs to have a good year. It shouldn't be hard for him if he's half a good as some of you think he is.

the other thing is when teams have had enough of a chance to focus on the Bombers prior to games ie the semifinal and final games they are able to come up with an offensive plan to exploit our defense. This is why we need to have the ability to switch it up. Last year with our dline personnel (ie JT and only 6 dline dressed) we couldn't effectively do this.
  Adding Ceresna, and hopefully one of our young def ends prove effective, we should be better equipped to do this. (providing we utilize one of our DI's on the line and not a lb that only plays special teams)

Their poor performance against the top teams in the West is the marker I always look at, 0-3 against the Stamps in which 2 games were not close, 1-2 against the Riders, with their win coming in a meaningless late season game in Wpg. or they'd have been 0-3 against them too.  They got lucky with the Lions and beat them twice early in the season before Rourke found his game, a late season matchup might have been ugly. 

Games against the East are never as definitive, but if they can't win the season series against their Western opponents, the odds of advancing in the playoffs are poor.

I'm optimistic we are a match for the riders. We actually played them close in both the labour day and banjo bowl. IMO we are significantly better, and they are a bit worse this year based on current roster changes. Of course injuries could change everything.

Zach has to keep pace with Harris in point production as he gets the ball off so fast and accurately even an improved rush will not be enough to rattle his cage.

I think Brown could be successful here given enough support around him. He often looked very good in relief here (better than Zach sometimes). He would be our best bet right now to replace Collaros with a capable QB in 2027. I'm actually hoping Maier supplants him in Ottawa, which would free him up to come to us.

Defintely can say Vaughters stopped Scott's momentum.

Ya, hand it to Vaughters.  The only one trying.  He's like: "dudes, am I the only one playing?  Where's my dogs at?".

Someone should have dived in low to take out Scott's legs while he was engaged... heck, do it on the hoggies, too.

I'm optimistic we are a match for the riders.

Ya, the Mace/Mueller O is actually very simple.  Find a way to stop the run, and disrupt the short game.  Everything beyond that you can leave man coverage 1-on-1.  No busts, though.

But you gotta stop that run.  They are like WPG with AH... they'll just run all over you to open everything else up.

That is true.  I didn't fly all the way to MTL that day to see a dumb rugby scrum.  If I wanted to watch rugby, there's plenty of that on tv.

Maas calls it the best play ever, I call it the dumbest thing I've ever seen on a CFL field.

Typically the Bombers would have 1 or 2 O-line pushing, on the play in question the Als had 4.
