Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Toronto., July 26, 2025

Top FA.  Just like we spent big to get Big Stan, we should spend big to buy the league-best LT.  I'm eyeing CGY's guy.

We will never dev a top LT in-house.  Never.

but the league now is not what it was. Stan wasn't even the best OT in FA that year. And the only reason we got him was Calgary was mid-dynasty and were losing guys like we have been lately. We need to scout guys, and that hasn't happened yet

[BBFANDM]

You've spent 3 pages admonishing me for saying "lol"

Changing the Subject the Bombers are NOT a good team as this point and everyone needs to look in the mirror especially the Coaches.

[The Zipp]

best by arbuckle again - 2nd and long conversions were terrible by our defence.  our DL is still bad and secondary is suspect.  we are lacking talent and that is on Walters - got fat n sassy in the offseason thinking we could lose players and not be impacted.  it happens - our downslope is well underway. 

[Tecno]

We have needed receiver help since game 1, what are we waiting for, who are they going to bring in?? Tonight's receiving group was a sham, 2 wouldn't be starting on any other team but our sad group. Ain't going no where with this group. Our secondary is hopeless. Will lose again next week, book it.

I'm in the "lose next week" camp too.  However, I won't make any declaration until I see the roster.  And maybe KW will make some moves, however out of character that may be.

There's always hope... until the depth chart is released.

On the bright side, I made so much easy $ tonight that it won't matter if jrda is right and I'm wrong!

The. bombers will have difficulty finishing out of the basement.

Looks like the team has quit.
If you don't have decent athletes you don't play man.
If you have half a brain you play zone and run to the ball
This was supposed to be. Tackle football. I have seen better competition and skills in the local touch football league.
Has anyone taught DB to break down when approaching to tackle?

Zac is done?,hurt? I guess, another concussion? Same one?,he did bump his head. Bump! Not collision, bump.  Mrs Collaros, get him a job!  Did you all see him on the sideline? Eyes half closed?  Zac thanks for the memories, but hang them up buddy.

Defensive backs? Where did they get these guys? They didn't have a knockdown.  They were never close!

Who are we paying big bucks to?

Who are the leaders on this team?
Brady and Demski. I guess.?
Receivers? Invisible!

Nobody played at a winning level. Some guys tried. But again are there any other leaders.
This team will be hard pressed to win another game. Receivers can't out run American DBs. How many passes were thrown to. The wide receivers?

Zac was let down by his receivers who dropped catchable balls. What are the crowd numbers going to be like. Next home game? How does the lake sound?

I wonder what the BC posters will say how good we played?

Hard to argue your points , lets hope they Bombers are not as bad as it seems but it seems they are very bad.

well DM - sometimes your posts are kind of incoherent...this one was not. good questions - schemes looked peewee ish and the effort was lacking. 

what did MOS say?  "gotta watch the film"??

Changing the Subject the Bombers are NOT a good team as this point and everyone needs to look in the mirror especially the Coaches.

Agreed. Long term it will be okay. O'Shea and Walters can regroup and rebuild.

But short term it's going to be hard. Collaros, Bryant, Willie and Schoen are close to a million dollars who haven't been very good and Oliveria is a really expensive car that can't get out of the garage if we're down by a ton at half time every week.

Our most effective players have been a younger, cheaper salaries and that's never going to work.

[BBFANDM]

You laughed at a player's injury which I disagreed with and then you continue to troll me for many posts.Others don't see value in what you're doing.And I'm sure The Mods don't either.You seem to like to try to get a rise out of me which I don't agree with and don't appreciate it.It's against the rules.Please stop thank you

I don't come on here to be trolled and bullied

You have continued to do this repeatedly

For what its worth there is no point in arguing with some of the members they all gang up on the newer posters so they can control the site.

[Tecno]

We need to scout guys, and that hasn't happened yet

I hear ya.  But it'll never happen.  Literally impossible.  We haven't dev'd a top OT in, well, forever.  Stan & Yoshi were all FA pickups.

Stan may not have been "the best" when we sniped him but he was known to be excellent and clearly showed a bright future.

We need Stan to last through this season.  An in-season departure would be disaster.  Then in FA we can steal someone, yes pay them big $$.  We could even keep Big Stan on as semi-starter or backup or whatever, should he want to play.

[Jockitch]

Time for Younger to understand the CB, DB and S mix isn't working in his questionable scheme. They made Arbuckle look like a super Qb. with just to much backpedaling space

Is Parker needed as a CB and Allen comes in to Safety

Gotta be a few big changes

Me & Jesse should have bet you $100 too!    OShea said it had nothing to do with performance.

[Tecno]

Uh, we played zone like all night long.  Hence the easy zone-sitdown completions for 1st down every time.

Playing match coverage would have been a vast improvement.  The question then is why are we not playing match like we're known for??

we have found guys, they just start elsewhere: McGloster and Boyd (also, former bomber Dennis Bardwell just signed with the chargers)

[Tecno]

Why, you want to pay me $100?  No one has cited anything yet.  And I've searched that book up & down for keywords.

One of my close friends once has this interchange with me:
Tecno: I'll bet you $100
Non-close friend: uh, hmmm...
Close-friend: Never bet against Tecno, if he's willing to bet you then he's already 100% sure he's right.

Why?  Because I'm the cheapest sob in Winnipeg (and that's saying something).

I hope that is correct but I am not sure they can recover ( at least not this year ) Collaros has been declining for 3 years now and we have a Rookie OC is he going to be good who knows our DC seems to be struggling as well was Bighill a big part of or D was he helping the Coaches to be better ? A lot of unanswered questions at this point and I have very little faith the Bombers can turn things around at this point.
