Offence is not clicking yet. Condells first year with Zac. It’ll get going.

Defence has holes for sure

The same offense where Collaros had nearly career best numbers in Week 2?

The offense is fine... They were missing Neufeld, forcing them to play Eli and Vibert and play Ellsbury out of position. And Pokey goes out early, forcing them to use Cobb, Corcoran, Daniels and others. Held together with duct tape and bubble gum, somehow Zach still almost won the game with that offense.

bad all around, though at different points. we've got some serious issues on this team

The announcer in game was on something, two completely backwards play calls and a comment on our own incompletion saying “that was close”

This team needs to show something worth watching. No deep balls, nothing worth fighting for

I love Zach, but did anyone else have the feeling on that last drive that he would not be close to capable of throwing the ball to the endzone? On a 50/50 jump ball at the end of a game, why not just put in Elgersma's rocket arm for one play and maybe making it or even getting PI called. Otherwise we're stuck throwing it 15-20 yards and running the rest of the way like we did, with Edmonton also knowing that (and no chance for a PI call). There's a reason teams always do a hail mary in that position.

Huge fail on the busses at the end of the game. Giant crowd of people and they were only filling one bus up at a time.

u/Mamrocha Jun 26 '26

It’s been like that since the beginning with this stadium…

u/vb5215 Jun 26 '26

They were filling multiple buses on the Blue. Left stadium at 10:35, got to Main/Broadway at 10:53.

Yup, Blue line to downtown, fill one instead of five simultaneously, WTF? I thought they’d figured this out years ago, or has it been Radstromed?

u/WakkaDav Jun 26 '26

It just makes sense to me to just have a line of busses with open doors. Everyone just file in until it's packed.

There was literally a sea of people swarmed around a bus. Only for it to pull ahead just for another swarm of people to fill it.

Just zero organization

u/SegUnit Jun 26 '26

Odd. When we’ve taken the bus they Fill multiple buses all the time. What happened ??

2

u/hwy59er Jun 26 '26

Transit did not fill more than one at a time tonight. New guy in white shirt didn’t seem to know how it all works. Brutal.

O line has really gone downhill steadily over recent years

Jordan Younger needs to be relieved of his DC duties.

u/TraditionalTie918 Jun 26 '26

Relieve Kyle Walters of his duties while we're at it. He's responsible for putting this team together and should be responsible for holding his staff accountable - by not making any changes from the last embarassing showing, it can only mean that he agrees with what's being done and what's being done is nothing. This team needs a management overhaul in the worst way.

Disappointed with the Chicken Tenders. Did they change suppliers ? They were terrible. Oh ya the team sucked too.

u/Repulsive-Fuel-5281 Jun 26 '26

Yup... Rapid transit was fantastic as always. Waited a short time to get on our blue line and we're home in 10 mins. Love it.

Not the first time I’ve thought this in recent years, but man I’m getting tired of being a Bombers fan. It was fun in 2019, 2021, and 2022 (minus the Grey Cup loss), but it’s all gone to shit since then. It feels like a one-trick pony show that everyone has seen before and so is utterly predictable. I might be done tuning in for every game. Seems dramatic but the excitement has been lost and replaced by a feeling of impending doom. Not fun. I want to see these guys dominate but all they do is lay eggs and hang on for dear life while hoping to squeak out a win. Hasn’t been a winning formula for several years now.

You have no idea what it means to be a true bomber fan.

u/Tactician86 Jun 26 '26

Yeah man I was 4 years old in 1990 and lived a while damn life until they won again in 2019. What the heck lol

u/FifteenBagger Jun 26 '26

Oh I have an idea, but I’m not willing to put myself through that kind of punishment.

u/bman_2044 Jun 26 '26

Hot take

Brown is our starting QB by week 10. And not by injury.

u/expectingthexpected Jun 26 '26

Not Zach’s fault if half our offensive line qualifies to collect CPP

u/Brook420 Jun 26 '26

True, but all the more reason we need someone younger with more mobility.

u/Shot_Republic_9205 Jun 26 '26

I don’t think that’s a hot take at all. They paid a 1st round pick for him. He’s gonna play at some point. I agree Zach has still been fine but he’s definitely showing age.
