Quote from: BLUEBOMBER on November 13, 2026, 06:20:37 PMYes, our O-line is the weak spot but our defense is weaker than a 12 year old girl's team.

And yet we stymied MTL's O for most of the EDF game... and TOR's.  Did you see the look on Alexander's face?  He had no targets at all most snaps.  I'd love to see the all-24 on all EDF plays.  They must be glorious.

Somehow Younger/Hall & Mafia (and players) made good on the promise of the "Younger D" when it counted most.  Problem is the scheme doesn't seem capable of turnovers... which means the O has to play 100% clean -- which they didn't by fumbling twice.

MOST of the game is correct. We still could have won, or at least had a good chance, with a stop on their last scoring drive but couldn't. Sure we had lost momentum but MOS is always saying this team stays calm, never stops playing. Just win the next play. All season long same thing. We can't stop game winning drives. This time it wasn't even 3 down football. Do we believe the playoff defense or the one we had all year that broke down at crucial times?

Yes the end result was a loss but the defence stopped a powerful Als offence time after time, while the Bomber offence too often failed to put points on the board. 

Derek Taylor usually compiles a list of drive results, they weren't as bad for this game compared to most games this season, but it really outlines how ineffective the offence was in most games. They had real difficulty outscoring opponents.

Agree 100%. I just feel there is more than one thing wrong on the football team. Did we ever answer "what is our identity"? 

We need to be better in a lot of areas. I am afraid of us thinking the D is good enough and not look too deeply into it. As they say, if you ain't getting better, you are getting worse.
