Bombers @ Argos

[Blueforlife]

bombers will be killed by Toronto.

Our oline will be embarrassed
Colorism wont have time  to throw anything but swing passes.
Defensively, our defe. Coordinator, will continue to play man cover coverage.  Toronto. Receivers will be open by five yards.

The d line won't be able to catch Torontos QB, who quite possibly run for 100 yards. He will pass for 300 yards. Collaros may be interested.  We won't score more than ten points.

Afternoons in summer in Southern Ontario can be humid and different than anything we see in Winnipeg. Plus coming to the game after enjoying the exceptional entertainment unlike anywhere else in Canada. We really should just save hundreds of thousands of dollars, and mail them the two points.

Lastly,it seems like the management is not taking the season seriously. Three days off,....i guess the league policy mandates that.  Serious lack of efficiency on offence, defensive concept, and crappy play by a number of. Vets, plus incapable rookies brought in. 

The team was over the cap last year, no consequences.  So what.  The tax payers pay for the financing of the team. McManus hasn't brought anyone in that could be a difference maker, and if you want to argue that he has,then the DC,Jordan Younger looks like he is in over his head. See"hat" claybrook look.

There will be so many changes in 2025.

Bring in that former Edmonton coach as the DC
bring in Lapo as the OC.
Use a tight end and two backs out of the backfield( the team has no fast personnel, so go heavy and run the ball......we have not enuff passing game talent)

Good chance of a good football game.  Pretty close match.
Oline isn't as bad as you suggest.
If we run the ball well, we can open up the deep ball.
Dukes won't get 100 on ground.  Not likely to get 300 in air but possible.
I expect 250 in air, 50 on the ground and a couple of ducks (TO)
We will score 20 to 30ish.
The suggestion to mail in the game is ridiculous, hope that's being sarcastic.
Our D will be decent.  Yes will give up a few big plays.
Younger is learning as he goes, Hall will get him sorted.
Pass on Lapo.  Pass on a change at DC.

A classic moment by DM83, sponsored by Peavy Mart poultry section lol.  I am just kidding,  we need to allow space for all view points.

Team in a tight spot and we need to win this one.  Coin flip.

Agree we ll get 50 yds rushing. I am worried our passing attack is not able to carry the load. Dukes is a very good scrambling/running Qb which will give our defense fits.

I see Toronto being able to move the ball, while we struggle. I also see Grant scoring a punt return TD to remind Walters he made a mistake and will be the difference in the game, 25-18 Argos

[Blueforlife]

My 50 was for Dukes on the ground

I expect 80 to 90 for the Blue, more if the deep ball clicks

[J5V]

Wow! What a bunch of Debbie Downers. LOL!

McManus is a killer MLB and the Argos give up a league low 58 yds per game rushing. Brady is going to have a tough time moving the ball meaning we ll have to rely on Zach and our passing game. Yikes

[markf]

ZC8 could have been a good trade piece and we would have had our QB of the future with Dru Brown. Also around $300K which would have kept Bailey, Grant, and Jeffcoat, around and got ourselves a young MLB. 

Zach Collaros saved the team.

Trading him would have been wrong.

[BBFANDM]

Zach Collaros saved the team.

Trading him would have been wrong.

I don't think you would get anything for Zach based on how he is playing and the amount he is making

Ding ding see who wins the RB vs. LB battle.  It is a marquee match up to be sure.

Great optimism boys!
If it were two years ago, I would agree.

Today we have no d line. Yeah big # 5, the most visible, now a days. Takes so many plays off he should be fines for lack of effort on almost every play.  He's a mere shadow, who only goes hard, if a play looks like he can be involved.  And he's our best guy?  Ah young men having fun!

Offensively, how many passes can you guess who Zac is throwing to?( on the  ints)

Kyle's response will be that injuries have killed us.
And the our tendency to play man to man will kill us. Hence  my predation Dukes gets a few twenty yard scrambles, plus another six for ten.

I was talking about in the off season, when ZC8 still had value. Dru Brown was our future QB. Just like AH33, everyone has an expiry date.

I disagree, there a few different players that saved this team. That group is no longer together. WJ5, JJ94, AH33, AB4, SB66, ZC8. Unfortunately for most of these players there best years are behind them.

Two problems for Grant:

1) No one knows Grant like Miller...

2) Maybe WFC locker room is already taking bets on who can pull out the most Grant hair??

I say we handle Grant perfectly fine, just like we have every other returner.

bombers will be killed by Toronto.

Whenever I accidentally feel optimistic about my Bombers, all I have to do is read a DM83 post!  The occasions I go out on that ledge, it's comforting to know DM83 is always there first.

Coordinator, will continue to play man cover coverage.  Toronto. Receivers will be open by five yards.

I'm pretty sure we let every teams' Rs be open by 5 yards.  It's the WPG D way!   

The d line won't be able to catch Torontos QB, who quite possibly run for 100 yards. He will pass for 300 yards. Collaros may be interested.  We won't score more than ten points.

Not if we assign a speedy spy.  Of course, that assumes MOS doesn't follow his "we don't need a spy if everyone follows their assignments" mantra...

then the DC,Jordan Younger looks like he is in over his head. See"hat" claybrook look.

Haha, he's not anywhere that bad!  So long as he doesn't do the hungry-belly rub, he gets a long leash.      

Bring in that former Edmonton coach as the DC
bring in Lapo as the OC.

C.Jones as DC?!  Ok, now you've hit cuckoo territory.  No one wants that loser.  Not to mention, bringing in a big-name DC is impossible given that we gave the whole wad to MOS and Buck.  Younger is DC because he is working for peanuts to get his foot in the door (as is Miller).  Hey, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just saying it's reality.

I'd welcome Lapo back at OC, too, but no one other than us two will!  (That said, weren't you one of the Lapo-bashers before he left?)

[TecnoGenius]

Week 8 looks like an amazing week for parity match-ups!  Only the WPG game might one say is lopsided (though I don't).

SSK D vs MTL D, and Cody-less O against Harris-less O.  Very even.  No Dequoy could be the difference.

Middling/up'n'comers CGY/OTT duke it out.  Who knows how that will turn out.

Basement Battle HAM/EDM, try to figure out who will suck less.  Bo's arm finally working might be the difference?

WPG has a shot because it's "just Dukes".  Maybe Hall/Younger can come up with a prey-on-the-noob plan... maybe.  That would mean picks galore!  If our O can somehow manage to actually score and build drives, well we could actually win!  A man can dream.
