Yup. Defenses have figured him out. Hopefully he responds in kind.

The O was figured out many months ago. Predictable. Only diff with Strev is he doesn't check down to 33 every pass. Our OC has been figured out. Seriously when most of us can guess what hes calling without film study, yeah.. Its the OC. Edited October 17, 20195 yr by Goalie

I'd suspect that teams have just gotten wise to the bombers tendencies. It's the same as happened to the rest of the offense. Are you referring to Streveler coming in when the balls within the 3 yards of the goal line and pounding it in on the ground?
October 17, 20195 yr comment_435141 I wonder if the resurgence of our defence is because Hall hasn't been calling it and other teams know Hall's tendency's?

I think you're 180 degrees turned around on this one. We've had pretty significant turnover/offensive struggles vs Calgary our last several meetings. That tends to lead to opposition points, but for the most part the Bombers haven't had trouble containing Calgary's offense over the past few years in terms of points. I believe the magic number is 30, and that's 30 designed rushes for Harris and Streveler combined. If the run isn't established and relevant in the whole game the Bombers won't produce enough first downs to win, even if they score 20 points in the first quarter.

"Total yards" Man, you guys love total yards. Wins mean nothing. Efficiency means nothing.
October 18, 20195 yr comment_435159 Can’t wait for the “well Nichols beat Calgary posts” while the posters fail to acknowledge that Nichols had absolutely nothing to do with that win.

One could also argue that every team should have every other team "figured out"...there are a number of options with every formation, but every team studies those and often plays the percentages. Like one coach said "I don't care if they know what we are doing. If we do it right, they won't stop us."

October 18, 20195 yr Author comment_435223 Rempel out. That's going to hurt. Glad to see Adams listed but wonder if he's still hurt and wonder if he'll get scratched?

I guess it's now official, Desjarlais grades out above Gray and Speller on the depth chart for the 5th game running since Neufeld's return, I don't think anyone saw that coming. Gray is signed through the end of next year but I think Speller will probably be a F.A. after this season, good chance he moves onto greener pastures if nothing changes, but a lot depends on what they do with Neufeld.

I don't know to what extent he's been practising but he's been fully dressed for a couple of weeks now, so I think he probably has one of those troublesome "fake" injuries.

As my boss always say, work SMARTER. Having a playoff spot locked down certainly provides an incentive to take the foot off the pedal... but the Bombers are 7-1 at home, and 3-5 on the road. I think we can beat the 'Riders in their own barn, especially if we go with a run-heavy game plan like last week. However, Calgary is not a pushover team - if they do end up playing in the WSF, I hope it's on our turf. Sadly hosting the Western Final seems a pipe dream now.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but isn't the first letter/number combo the LOS?... so in the three I highlighted it would be Montreal 36, 36 and 35... those are not in the red zone...
