Posted July 3, 20232 yr comment_642201 Moving on to next game, we won't see an injury report till tomorrow...Stamps are getting healthier and bringing in some players (Michel signed yesterday, Begelton is back). I fully expect a win in front of a big crowd on a perfect Friday night in Winnipeg. Cheer for an Argos win tonight and we can match Bc's record in the West with a win!
July 3, 20232 yr comment_642203 Hopefully we see a Lawler debut, defence slowly getting healthier, I could expect a pounding.

Yup...Like how the defense is slowly coming together...get Wilson and Hansen in mix....Parker and Rose....see what they bring...Swarmay another game to see if he keeps improving....love his aggressiveness and tackling, Houston just seems to be around the turnovers, and seems to be coming to form...and we still have Holm...Lawrence and Mouhamed to choose from...we be okay in the back end when all healthy and we sort out whos where.....and gotta say..Clements has beebn solid all yr...pleasant surprise...yr 3 a lot of times is when things click

July 3, 20232 yr comment_642208 The BC game has my confidence shaken and likely will be the rest of the year. I don't think much of Maier, but I also didn't think much of VAJ. We have to be healthy, and bring our A game every single week just to get a win, never mind whooping anyone. I truly believe the days are gone where the Bombers are head and shoulders above everyone else and untouchable at home. Every game will be a struggle.

I truly believe the days are gone where the Bombers are head and shoulders above everyone else and untouchable at home. Every game will be a struggle. We were spoiled last year in that the team was basically unbeatable. Rourke was the rest of the CFLs only answer. And of course, anything can happen in the Grey Cup. Even with very good teams of the past, they're generally not as good as the Bombers were last year. I welcome this year where we have to fight for the Ws. We will be a bit more hardened come the Grey Cup. This team needs that adversity.
July 3, 20232 yr comment_642212 There is this narrative that because of not just the BC game but also other teams "keeping it close" that the Bombers aren't the same team... but very rarely the last several seasons did the Bombers ever blow teams out. They usually won closer games pulling away late, which aside from bc is pretty much the story this year. Bc game was ugly, but they have had those kinds of games before. I don't think it's time to worry yet, this team still has most of the hallmarks of previous teams. And if guys like Hansen and Wilson come back anywhere close to where they were before injury we're laughing.

Our D has had a couple rough outings with almost all our secondary injured. When healthy no one touches us.
July 3, 20232 yr comment_642214 Looking forward to a two score win over the horsies on a beautiful Friday night at IGF.
July 3, 20232 yr comment_642215 Maier does not seem to handle pressure very well. He can however at least physically throw the ball deep so I imagine as always the key for success is the d-line.

When healthy no one touches us. save for the first 2 games...we haven't fielded the same secondary since....and even then it was a secondary that had 2 guys starting that were not projected starters when camp opened...I'll pass more judgement when all guys are available, and see what we trot out then, an how they perform....weeks 1-5 in the CFL with basically how short TC is....the smaller rosters and if u have injury issues a feeling out process anyway....our 2 grey cup win seasons...both those yrs we had an unsettled secondary late into yr as well..and it panned out ok

I'll take 3-1 right now with all the injuries. At this rate we only need to win 4 more games this year to at least get the cross over lol...
July 3, 20232 yr comment_642224 I don't care what the score is.......as long as we're showing more points on the board than the other team, when the time runs out...Sometimes when you win by a lopsided score you tend to get a little sassy ...a little too complacement....Keeping it close keeps your edge....I think we'll keep our edge in most games in 23'

That is so true...we weren't winning games by halftime...all teams have pro players and they can make plays at any time...one fast receiver gets behind coverage and qb drops it in and the field is flipped. Super Bowl champs Chiefs with the best QB in football and a TE that is better than most receivers and top 3 defensive player in the NFL and some of the best coaches didn't blow teams out - point spread matters for gambling and that is it. Bombers know how to win because of the players and coaches and team they have.

Basically every CFL defence that has ever existed is worse than that defence.
