Quote from: Pete on July 23, 2024, 08:51:00 PMPutting in Lucky makes it feel like O'Shea is wrong with Johnson or Clercius, O'Shea has a tendency to stay stubborn in these situations to prove who is the smartest. There have been numerous cases of this Ie Jackson< Hurl, Alexander etc. I would argue  that's why we haven't brought in more of an upgrade to Kramdl and Thomas. Likely the only way lucky is an option is thru injury.

I agree, that's MOS way, loyal to a fault. The new guy brought in may be way better option, but until the player removes himself from the game via injury, he ain't going anywhere, which is brutal

There is a report above from today if you missed it

Thank SS, Very nice report.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

It's only the 1st practice this week but none of that suggests we'll see any change at receiver. The daily report tomorrow might give a better idea whether some of the other nicked players may miss the game.

Cole was already somewhat limited last week So I won't be entirely surprised if he misses the game.

OTOH, I'm not sure what's happening with Wilson or Alexander.

Oliveria gets a day off to heal but I expect he plays as usual.

One game at a time.

Cole is on the 6 game. Bridges has been added to game day roster.
Looks like no changes on offense.. which was the majority of the problem last week scoring only. 9 points and we appear to be standing pat.
 Even if we put in lucky as a misdirection it would be more effective than last week where every one of our receivers had 3 or less catches
I don't get it

No lucky, no Kenny, no way we beat the argos unless they/dukes throws 5 interceptions again.

Yep, we score a massive 3 field goals/9 points and we're doubling down on that juggernaut unit?!. I guess they re due to breakout, maybe score 15 points!!

Ok, whoah there Horsey!! I hear ya. Toronto looked gross, but that's the thing in the jeckle hyde cfl, Stink one week, throttle someone the next.

Dukes likes to scramble ,which isn't our defenses strong suit, and Toronto's D is tough against the run, which doesn't play into our run oriented offense, and if our offense has to rely on the pass, forget it. Plus you add the Toronto smog factor where it seems the bombers always play flat in TO, even in our strong years.

We just came off a very tough game against a very good Rider team. A game that we likely tie up late and grab a ton of momentum had Demski not fumbled. However, the Riders were allowed to have their big play turnover with the fumble while the Bombers were denied their big play turnover with the INT not by the Riders but by the officials! We were royally screwed multiple times in that game and could not overcome it. If that continues I don't care how good your team is, you're not going to win.

OTOH, if we are allowed to play in a fairly called game, we have every chance of winning against any team in this league. There are no juggernaut teams out there this year and any team can win given a fair chance. We just saw Hamilton beat Toronto. We can beat them too.

Go Bombers!

The biggest thing we have going for us is that Mace is no longer the DC for Toronto.

Toronto is going to be in a foul mood after losing to Hamilton - how embarrassing!!  And you're right, we were totally screwed over in Regina!!

Love your cynicism!  That's the spirit!   :o  :o  ;D  ;D  :P  :P

P.S. You may be right!  Or we put up 35... who knows!

At walkthrough, Bailey, Brinkman, Edouard - all injured Saturday - were out, unsurprisingly, but Blackburn and Priester's status is positive. Ungerer, Adeleke, Giffen, and Mital are all pushing to come off the six-game this week.

When do we play Hamilton?

Haha, complaints complaints.  I'm just glad people are posting useful and juicy info like the TOR practice/injury report!  Saves me a ton of time.

And don't get too excited to play HAM... they just beat psuedo-juggernaut TOR!!  They might be turning the corner.

It's gut check time for this team. Throw in the towel or man up! :)
