Good:
- First place, baby.
- The D, turnovers were critical
- Tony Jones - this man might win us a Grey Cup.
- Brady
Bad:
- Kenny; *** man. Just actively hurting the team at this point
- the INT
Ugly:
- being unable to score off of all the turnovers the D created.
Need to get Adams back into the lineup. Run D was terrible. Bombers LBs with 21 DTs, 2 sacks, 2 Int, 1 PD.
Elks, with 6 turnovers. Us only 27 points.

We were the better team and it showed on the scoreboard. Their D played us tough after those turnovers and we couldn't capitalize. They deserve some credit for that. Our D, while not perfect, also played the Elks tough. Some credit goes to our boys too.
Nice to see Zach having the confidence to run and slide again, snuck in a couple of good ones tonight.
Really like Jones and Ayers work at LB, transition is in place for Biggie and Kyrie when they decide to pack it in. Unfortunately for Kyrie like Bighill he might have to call it a career if his injury is as seriously bad as suspected.
Ugly, gametracker on CFL.ca shows no stats. for this game.

I don't understand why we don't focus our firepower on the enemy weakness. EDM DL is somewhat good. Their LBers are pretty good.
But their DBs are nobodies (ex-Purifoy). So why aren't we chucking it to the weak DBs all night? Find ways to keep the LBers from dropping back and throw mid and deep passes.
If it wasn't working to Kenny, then throw to the other guys. We have 3 legit burners and route-guys ex-Kenny.

Castillos' MOP bid just tanked. But from a this-game standpoint it's ok he missed: they were long ones, and I just checked and the wind was swirling and against him on the first doink.

On the positive side, Brady is making a strong claim not only for MOP for the Bombers, but for the entire league. Now up to 1021 yards with a 5.7 average, and 46 receptions for 376 yards. I know, touchdowns, touchdowns, but he's got 2 now, and with Streveler gone, more will likely come.
Good-Olivera
-discipline to not retaliate
-turnover hungry defense
-Colleros just the one INT when the Elks were coughing it up
Bad-two goal posts
-scheduling a Jet game at the same time as the Bombers, went to the Jets game and tried but failed to not hear the score
Ugly-Elks ejection
Humour for the day. Wasn't sure where to put this but this was as good a place as any. lol

Over stating the negative on Kenny. He isn't hurting us at all. Bad game, non issue handled internally.
One of best receivers in the league.
Also good
Having Bryant back (besr oline game of the year)
Wheatfall made more plays in that game than Johnson all year
Also bad
Woods had a tough game ( Smeckle was better)
Return game - may be time to bring Case back in
Lawler
Games played etc.

2024 6. 54. 241. ( not sure this season is current)
This season, Affected by no Schoen, I'm sure.
Rewatch: Lawler's first dropsie on the wide out: I'm 75% certain the D guy got a finger on the ball and altered the trajectory slightly. That would mean Kenny can be forgiven that whiff.

I like winning and he has helped do that every year. Worth every penny. He still has time to put up some big yards and will be deadly in the playoffs.

Fairly sure the DB didn't touch it, but either way the ball was in his hands.
It was a bad drop and only his first of the night.

I did my comp PVR tricks and I think he
did tip it and it caused the ball to lose momentum and drop faster than Kenny was aiming for. However, the depth perception issue makes it impossible to know, and the span between the tip and the catch was too short to detect any tip-effect like a wobble.
I haven't gotten to his 2nd dropsie later, but from memory that one was pretty inexcusable.
Strange, because his first completion was mega-circus and would be a whiff for most other Rs. Maybe Kenny needs the super hard catch challenge, and can't make the mundane ones?
