Blackburn getting his first start at linebacker for Toronto is interesting. Hopefully its a spot where we can take advantage.

not to mention a very depleted OL. If our DL boys don't have a big game something ain't right for sure.

Quote from: BBRT on July 25, 2025, 03:07:07 PMThis is just my opinion but when I look at who we will start on both sides of the ball I believe this is the weakest total team that Bombers have fielded in a very long time. No speed receivers - the DL is weak and I am not sure how good the OL happens to be. Just my opinion and I hope I am wrong but there is very little there that I can say is top drawer other that our starting RB.

I agree. We tried so hard to maintain our level, with not much eye to improvement. The problem is the other W teams like SSK and CGY have improved. Our 2024 level probably doesn't make it to a cup this year.

I think we did improve our DL with Vaughters, but that's only because the '24 DL was sooooo bad, any hiring would be an improvement.

It's scary how much we depend on just 1 player like Schoen to not "suck on paper". With Schoen we have a top-5 REC (on paper). Without him we only have a top-15 Demski, who is superb but can't win games alone.

I think it will become apparent we don't have the horses, and voices will start being raised to do something about it in a home GC year, or we'll end up like BC last year: 1 & done and a laughing stock.

Quote from: Waffler on July 25, 2025, 01:24:45 PMMy guess is all season. I don't recall him getting hurt and coming out limping.

There's also Neufeld. He's getting burned a lot too. I've seen him flat on his butt sitting there like a toddler on the turf as DL run over him... at least 3 times. That's not characteristic of him.

I was thinking the same thing. The OL is seriously depleted, they have no running game at all. If we don't make hay tomorrow, I'm not sure we can.

Just a thought, would MOS have said to Walters that we have good players in camp last year and dont need to many replacements?
Why does MOS always want to play an extra Canadian when we need that extra IMP on the field? Why do we have such a weak and small IMP receivers, Is that our OC, HC or both?
Why havent we brought back Houston

I don't agree with any of the sentiments here

I appreciate that...... Thanks... I was going by all the posts here that had it not on TSN +

3 keys to the game:

1) Get Brady the ball.

2) DL has to win their battles (Not participation trophies, get your stats).

3) DBs need to limit the explosion plays against.

markf · July 26, 2025, 09:45:09 PM

I Hope there isn't another bridge failure.

We Need to get to their QB. As in........ sack him.

Willy time!

And for lords sake please run with Brady holy moly!
