WEEK TWO GAMEDAY THREAD - BOMBERS @ REDBLACKS
I think they knew they've had to do this right from when Garbutt went down

Holding them to 3 there is huge for how bad that looked

Zero defense and then Haba looks done for the year

Next merch purchase
I also have a whole bunch of them lying around the side of my house 😂. Apparently some were used at the arena in Iles Des Chenes and they were getting rid of them. So my neighbour and I went out there and picked some up. Same idea - still haven't done anything with them

Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
What is getting bleeped out here. 😂 Yeah I'm not sure about Myron Mitchell as a returner. The fumble was awful. Besides that he looked unspectacular. Seems to follow his blocks well enough.

CFL Week One - The Officially Unofficial Power Rankings
Not convinced we should be that low. Played the shittiest we've played in a long time. Is that indicitive of who we are? Guess time will tell. We were also playing the Grey Cup Champs who looked like the most gelled team this week. It is week 1 so there isn't a tonne to go on. But I'd have us 4th right now behind Montreal, Toronto and BC.

SNF Lions @ Argos GDT
Toronto's defense incredibly susceptible to the pump fakes from what I've seen this game and in the past. I think they rely way too much on the front 7 getting home

I'd worry about these two teams against the Bombers. The other games were filled with mediocrity

Brian Cole?

FNF Cats @ Stamps GDT
Running backs running well. Brady better show up next game.

Kenny Lawler.
No idea. Just plain hope on my part.

Kenny Lawler.
The only reason that they wouldn't be signing Worthy right now is if Chris Smith is close to coming back
-
Kenny Lawler.
Will open some salary. I'd be signing Worthy to do our returning. I don't know who we'd want to bring in as an actual receiver that would be worth it.

GDT Can the Bombers D shutdown the Als?
There is no question he won the job
-
3 turds plus crappy honker preseason game 3
Cascading failures in that game. Montreal looking in mid-season form, us in preseason form. That about sums it up.

So obvious and of course made all the difference

Week 1. Revenge of the Darkside
I get what you're saying. It will be an improvement. I think they would have liked to have Garbutt available instead of dressing two 290 pound guys. But both Woods and Adams have shown to be very effective at DE and they won't need to play every down.
-
Week 1. Revenge of the Darkside
But we have depth, and useful depth. Adams and Woods vs Hansen and Bennett. It's not even close. We basically had to run Willie and Jeffcoat into the ground because the alternatives were pretty useless.

Week 1. Revenge of the Darkside
If Adams and Woods (or Garbutt) don't get significant reps this year I'll be just as upset as everyone else. Game 1 you never know. We could be pleasantly surprised.

Week 1. Revenge of the Darkside
I refuse to believe that in the minds of our coaches we will give more snaps to Canadians over Americans just because of nationality. Show me a coach that doesn't want to win in the CFL. What I do think is that sometimes we are so focused on winning in the short term that we aren't giving enough snaps to other guys so that they can get enough experience to help us late in the season, especially when our vets succumb to injury. It looks like we are rolling with some youth this year which is good to see.
-
Week 1. Revenge of the Darkside
This just in. Players that have been on the team for 2 weeks are not listed as the "starters" over the vets. It's the first game. This is not at all unexpected. It is exciting to see Woods and Adams draw in on the D-Line. Shows we are committed to more of a rotation this year.

Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
If they are bringing Adams or Woods on the gameday roster I can't see how they wouldn't rotate them in. No reason Jake Thomas takes every snap. He won't.

Plus I'm pretty sure Woods was playing DE in preseason. Hell, Adams was chasing down sweeps. We have some athleticism there.

Garbutt likely a scratch for Thursday if I had to guess. (IR)

Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
I agree to an extent. But the culture is part of what built this team to begin with. They were doing it despite not winning Grey cups. A lot of different things make up a culture though. One of the biggest things from what I've heard is how close knit the entire team is. Not cliquey like other places. Celebrating after a good play is a grey area IMO. It depends on a lot. I'm hoping that the guys in the room will rein someone in if they are being stupid about it. Mitchell has only been here for a couple weeks.
