Posted December 29, 201410 yr comment_101253 I go into each year with such lofty expectations of the Blue ... and lately I have been so disappointed I know what my heart says We all have our analytics about how the Bombers look for the coming season ... but that's left brain What is your right brain telling you about what's ahead?
December 29, 201410 yr comment_101254 I see a 10-8 season and Bombers making the playoffs. Getting rid of Etch was huge and I see that as a 2-3 game swing alone.
December 29, 201410 yr comment_101255 Etch being gone is a big plus. Now the Bombers need to keep Willy upright. The Willy that started the season in June could drop a football into a barrel in a 55 yard radius. The throws he was making at the start of the season were deadly accurate. The Willy that finished the season couldn't hit the side of a barn. Something has to change in that regard. It's time our offense was feared once again. I look at how much success Pittsburgh has had this year - on most plays Roethlisberger can knit a sweater in the pocket they make for him. We need that. Willy with time to throw will be deadly. Everything else will follow from it, including wins.
December 29, 201410 yr comment_101256 Ask me again after we have hired a new DC and gone through free agency. Right now my answer would be that the upcoming season is not looking too good.
December 29, 201410 yr comment_101257 I think a full time rb who can actually withstand contact will help.... also replacing Bryant with anyone should add at least a few more points on offense.
December 29, 201410 yr comment_101258 guys, you gotta wait untill... at least the very minimum of after the draft to be able to even have a slight idea on what the years going to be like.... Right now we don't even have a DC
December 29, 201410 yr comment_101260 Way too early. Ask again after TC when we have a DC, a Draft, have 'Overpaid for FA's' and have brought in scouted players.
December 29, 201410 yr Author comment_101264 all analytics .... what's your gut saying, really? it's not about being right .... it's that little voice in your head called intuition a couple of cogs in the wheel is not going to be the deciding factor for the year, is it?
December 29, 201410 yr comment_101267 I have a hunch you don't want to know what the little voices in my head are saying.
December 29, 201410 yr comment_101268 I want a playoff spot. Don't care if it's West or crossover. And minimum 9-9 this year. That's my hope.
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101275 Fill out the coaching staff and let's see what the scouting department and hell even free agency turns up, then we can actually make a prediction about the team.
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101278 I think we sign Holmes, Hickman and Jonathon Williams in FA, draft Waud and Ackie, Hall ends up as DC, Khari Jones as QB Coach Willy starts the season, Marve ends it... Moore has breakout season, Teague Sherman wins WIL out of camp, Briggs-Wild rotate at MLB 11-7, we lose the grey cup to Edmonton ...or I have no idea... either one.
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101282 I don't care what DC we end up with. My gut says we get no farther then 9-9.
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101286 At this point i would say we are much the same as last year, maybe with one or two more wins. We will be better but we have to remember that some of the close early wins we got last year were against a weak Eastern division. However Hamilton and Montreal got better as the year went on and Ottawa can only get better in 2015.
December 30, 201410 yr Author comment_101287 Fill out the coaching staff and let's see what the scouting department and hell even free agency turns up, then we can actually make a prediction about the team. thread not about prediction ... just intuition
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101292 With Marcel still firmly planted in the wheel house of the offence my imagination can't conceive the Bombers doing better than .500 at this time. I don't see them making the playoffs next year unless another Western team tanks and puts them there. A weak team in BC is the logical hope but with a new coach and a surprise QB solution in the works it could turn out that 2014 may have been the Lion's bottom out season. Time will tell.
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101412 We could be better and we could be worse... Watch us be worse. We sucked stinky ass the whole second half this year and were getting worse. Only won the last game because The Stamps did not care at all about the game. Other wise we get blown out that game. I really really hope not though
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101414 At this point i would say we are much the same as last year, maybe with one or two more wins. We will be better but we have to remember that some of the close early wins we got last year were against a weak Eastern division. However Hamilton and Montreal got better as the year went on and Ottawa can only get better in 2015. And of those 5 early wins, 3 of them we barely squeaked out the victory. We could have easily been 4-14.
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101422 we also lost several games by a touchdown or less too. This board man, you guys always look for the negatives in everything, it's crazy.. of those 11 losses, 5 or 6 were by a touchdown or less, instead of being 7-11 we could have been 12-5.
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101430 Do I have to say what I think is gonna happen or.. We good? You definitely have a say Spuds, you're positivity keeps us all hoping for what could be. Even though most of the time our hopes get crushed
December 30, 201410 yr comment_101436 My gut is telling me we're gonna play between 20-23 games of football in 2015.
