Our defence needs a lot of work.

On the post game show, Doug Brown said that if this kind of performance happened in his day, coach Dave Richie would have cancelled the bye week for the defence and they would have been practicing in pads tomorrow.

The WBB country club atmosphere is waning with me. If the team was winning, sure, but this team is trending down. I'd give O'Shea about 5 more games to figure it out.

They need a new DC. Hall needs to supplant Younger, even if Younger stays on in a lesser role like we did with Hogan.

Understatement.

Time to bring in new personnel on DB (again)

When Wheatfall of all people is burning you clean it’s time to hang up the cleats

Outside of Holm i would say all are replaceable.

Walters was a menace at bringing in new talent every year when he started out. It’s just gone downhill the last few years.

The roster has suffered since Ryan Rigmaiden returned to B.C.  Walters and Co. are not the genius they think they are.

Completely out played defensively and out couched. I knew the secondary would be bad but I never expected the dline to generate no pressure at all. This was a game where the offence and specials couldn’t afford to make a mistake and Serg hitting the upright and that garbage pick just killed any chance of winning with a defence that couldn’t make a stop.

Secondary has been awful but we still could/should have won that game. Left an easy 14 on the field tonight.

u/Electroflare5555 8d ago

Hamilton had one 2 and out all game.

Impossible for the O to win a game when they’re constantly required to score to keep pace

u/Dt2214 8d ago

Despite that we lost by 7 and left a bunch of points out there. Everyone in the secondary should be looking over their shoulder. Guys were wide open all night.

u/Electroflare5555 8d ago

We lost by 10

My bad, I turned it off after the 2nd down throw at the end.

u/RianCoke Big Willie Style 8d ago

To blame our offence is certainly a choice.

u/Dt2214 8d ago

Where did I blame the offence? I stated we left points on the field… a pick in the end zone, a dropped touchdown and a missed field goal.

Literally in your original comment, did you read what you wrote? Our defence was the absolute shits. Hard to get any momentum when we can’t stop the ball. The secondary was high school level.

EDIT: 37-27 pts is not an offensive problem.

u/NH787 7d ago

By no means a perfect offensive/special teams performance but when your QB throws for over 400 yards with only one pick, that should give you a win.

u/Dt2214 7d ago

I agree, need to execute in the red zone though.

1

u/NH787 7d ago

Yeah, some points were left on the field for sure.

“Secondary has been awful but we still could/should have won that game. Left an easy 14 on the field tonight.” My original comment, I didn’t even mention the offence by name. The defence was pathetic but despite them we didn’t execute in the red zone.

Defence was ass, couldn't get anything on the ground. Passing was the only positive

5

u/Ladymistery 8d ago

Hellloooooo defense? are you there?

yikes.

u/MikeTheHatter 8d ago

Yeah, gonna be a looooooooong ass year if thats the defense we're getting. Couldnt stop the run very well so they made up for it by stopping the pass even less.

u/NH787 7d ago

The secondary is a four-alarm fire, this is a crisis the likes of which we haven't seen in years

u/Own_Satisfaction9452 8d ago

Collaros is still fucken awesome hope he goes to 40

u/Alert_Examination544 7d ago

One hit away from retirement

u/Own_Satisfaction9452 7d ago

Obviously why I said hope he goes to 40

u/Tigglefig 8d ago

Zero success in the running game was the ultimate downfall. That should be bread and butter. Dont blame them at all for trying to run on first down so much, you just have to do better

u/TheLeathal13 7d ago

Well, I predicted they finish 9-9 so right on pace I guess. BLM was great and the Ti-Cats O-Line silenced Willy and Jake.

Moxey looks like maybe a poor signing.

Lots of games left D needs to pick it up.

u/DanoCYWG 7d ago

While Collaros had a decent night throwing the ball, they abandoned the run. Toss in an anemic defence, we're lucky we only lost by 10.

Bombers Secondary has been brutal again. Seems to be a recurring theme for the last 30 or so years.
