If I'm the coach, I'll sit Smith next game and put it Mayo. Smith did not earn his keep tonight. We do not have a dominant receiver to take pressure off Dressler and Denmark.
October 1, 20168 yr comment_227351 Not sure what game ppl were watching. But it wasn't bowman or walker who did the most damage tonight. Perhaps stats wise but those mean little. It was John White. Also Westerman is blatantly held on every other play and has been all season. The reffing this game was very incompetent to the point of borderline favoritism. Esks got away all night with the calls the bombers were getting. Esks were absolutely gifted 7 points. Can talk about not challenging it all you want... that call on Leggett shouldn't have even had to been. Edited October 1, 20168 yr by Goalie

October 1, 20168 yr comment_227354 That officiating crew gave us no breaks at all. At the same time when there was a credible challenge on the Leggett call MOS did nothing. That was mind boggling. Why wouldn't he challenge that call? Then the next play they scored a TD. So frustrating... Meanwhile Maas will challenge everything.
October 1, 20168 yr comment_227355 Walters still have some work to do. Need a stud pass-rusher. Need a big physical receiver. Need to make a move to enable them to put both Harris and Flanders on the gameday roster. Richards is wasting a roster spot, imo. Wasting 2 DIs in LB. Edited October 1, 20168 yr by M.O.A.B.
October 1, 20168 yr comment_227357 So is Kohlert. He only gets 3 or 4 throws a game if that. If the ball is catchable he has to grab it. Otherwise why is he out there? As the token Canadian starter? Edited October 1, 20168 yr by iso_55
October 1, 20168 yr comment_227358 This team just needs to get back to playing their best for the full game. Turned it on too late again.
October 1, 20168 yr comment_227359 IMO lapo didnt help the cause with a s****y game plan from the get go. Flanders has been averaging almost 7 yards a carry over the last 2 games and he comes out chucking the ball all over the field. I would think you would want to hand it to your new found offensive weapon and keep the red hot Reilly off the field as much as possible. Not to mention lapo's good old 4 yard out on 2nd and 8 is back! Jack*** Spoiler
October 1, 20168 yr comment_227360 I'd like to see our D be a bit more agressive but that's Richie Hall for ya.
October 1, 20168 yr comment_227361 This is exactly the game I expected from us the last time we played Edm. This team... The one that played tonight... Is an East Division, Goddamned Awful, not deserving of praise in any way, team.

It'd be a waste to dress Flanders and Harris.

October 1, 20168 yr comment_227367 Karmas a *****, that's all, we caught way too many breaks on the win streak to keep it going and tonight it just caught up to them. Having said that though, the d-line is definitely not championship calibre and we still need a JC Sherrit of our own in the middle. I still can't believe that we made two trades and never got immediate help at receiver, which this team desperately needs. Smith is done, cut this guy please.
October 1, 20168 yr comment_227368 We have a stud pass rusher. But he's held on every other play. Richards? Seems like an odd thing to point out. I'd say what we actually need is a D coordinator who doesn't play soft coverage. Bottom line... our O was probably good enough to win tonight. Our D tho was terrible. It's scheme for sure

They alternate in & out. Except Flanders is 3 times the RB Harrison is. But we'd need 8 Canadian starters to do that. I don't want Neufeld in for Hardrick or Hurl in for Wild or Bass. So, he'll sit when Harris returns. Edited October 1, 20168 yr by iso_55

October 1, 20168 yr comment_227381 He'd have to sign a 3 yr contract minimum. No BS one year deal... If not, he can sit wherever he lives. Doesn't look like there's any rush to sign him from other teams. Once burned twice shy.
October 1, 20168 yr comment_227384 Another trade will break the chemistry in the locker room. I guess the Willy trade is OK. The Adams trade kinda mess a bit in there.

I doubt it messed anything up at all. Team just wasn't very good tonight. Lack of execution really. Not a lack of Adams or whatever he brought or didn't bring off the field.

And we had two plays that really sank us: Brigg's dumb penalty on the kick return TD that was called back, and the phantom PI call on Leggett what was far less egregious than the PI on Dressler in the 4th quarter. You need to include Dressler fumbling the ball on the 2 yard line, that certainly didn't help.

Receivers are definitely under-performing as a group and they need to shake things up with some changes. Sending Dressler or Smith deep is a waste of a play as they seldom get in the clear and they usually lose position or get out-muscled for the ball. More Mayo please.

October 1, 20168 yr comment_227393 What I don't understand is why we consistently try to throw the ball to Dressler in double or triple coverage. He makes the catch one on one but has had difficulty in double or more coverage not to mention the liability of an interception. What is wrong with Denmark? He seldom misses if it is catchable and can get behind coverage as well as Dressler if not better. I would like to know how many throws were aimed at Dressler and Smith tonight verse Denmark. Here is a guy who was cut because these other two were signed via free agency and the Bomber had to humbly come back to ask him to play for them again. What does he do? Merely leads or is close to leading the team in receptions. And the other point about the passing game as has been mentioned here earlier we are back to Lapo's rinkie dinkie passing game. If it controls the clock and we score points okay but when the other team has nearly a 10 time of possession on us then something has to change. And that isn't saying the defense doesn't need to step up. Had they last game we would have won. This game they were terrible in virtually every aspect; pressure, turnovers, coverages and tackling. Back to square one.
