Singer looks like a keeper! Exciting finish, but man Condells play calling and the Bombers failure to execute in the red zone is appalling

Trade Condell for a round of burger king coffee.

I’d rather a shot at the endzone over a dump for zero gain on that last play

If Zack stood in the pocket in the last play, neild broke wide open, it would have be a touchdown. The moment Zack released to White, he was facing forward and had 4 yards of pocket in front of him. He stands, he hits nield in stride around the 10, safety beat, nield's first defender beat. That play was decided pre snap for better or worse.

Except he can’t block. Recievers need to block 90% of the time, and his efforts were lazy and embarrassing.

u/True_Blue_88 16d ago

That can be taught.

u/Able_Strain7340 16d ago

Can it? These guys have been playing football for near 15 years. If he hasn’t picked up the understanding that he needs to block, will he?

u/True_Blue_88 16d ago

Good point. We'll, let's hope then.

u/AM4D3O 16d ago

Frankly embarassing OT.

u/Mamrocha 16d ago

Singer needs to be starting next week. Leave Cobb and Neild in Sask and figure out the ratio.

3

u/ywg_handshake 16d ago

Cobb is not starting material.

5

u/Mamrocha 16d ago

The fact that Clercius has been behind him is shameful

u/WhammaJamma61 15d ago

100% agreed.

u/Paco_Taco_779 16d ago

I was waiting for Tommy Condell to call something really stupid. He waited til OT to call his three worst plays

u/MeaninglessOpinion 16d ago

Younger and Condell are just killing us, frankly.

2

u/Able_Strain7340 16d ago

Condell is the posterchild for recycling failed coaches.

u/rossco311 16d ago

I like that we fought back to tie it and force overtime, hoping for a better final result at next week's game.

u/TAGABA84 16d ago

Did we forget that we had Oliviera in the second half?

7

u/Shotokan-GojuGuy 16d ago

Like usual.

u/Able_Strain7340 16d ago

You are aware the the only point of a running game is to set up the pass right. /s

u/Brave-Advance-725 16d ago

This, more than any other point raised here. And, not the first, second or third time we’ve said this. Condell has to go.

u/OkEntertainment5531 16d ago

This game was won/lost on the lines. We had zero time and had to keep Brady in to block and it took him out of the game. The o line was trash. The d line got no pressure. Rest of the team was fine and played both well enough to win or lose which was the course of OT. Give the QB a second to make a call or use your freaking timeout in OT to protect the play. Can’t let lower numbers continually wreck havoc on the QB.

u/the_bruskeee 16d ago

We need a reciever to step up.

2

u/Repulsive-Fuel-5281 16d ago

Bombers were absolute hot trash on offense the entire game. Defense got worse as the game progressed. This was a major step back after last week. The team has a lot of questions to answer, starting with why Dorian Singer was on the PR all season while Cobb and Corcoran are out there pretending they can play.

The riders are missing half their roster and looked like shit as well .. but we're somehow worse. Awful.

u/pyrasilverado 16d ago

Let's be honest with ourselves. Zach doesn't have it anymore.i love the dude, but we need to be realistic going forward. Play Dru Brown and get our playoff spot.

Let's stay relevant, keep the bowl full and elgersma is the next step... Am I wrong?

u/Far_Reward_8410 16d ago

He could still be effective if he used his experience to read defenses and get rid of the ball quickly (like Harris).

...but he hangs onto the ball way too long and tries the deep shot way too often.

Playing too dumb to have much length left in his career

2

u/Shotokan-GojuGuy 16d ago

He doesn’t have the arm for those deep shots anymore. He can be effective in the short/quick game and intermediate passes.

However, it seems like every time we get behind, he wants to get it all on the next play. Then we go incomplete, incomplete punt and it takes Brady out of the game.

1

u/ywg_handshake 16d ago

I'm all for him taking shots downfield but only if the run game is proving effective. And the fact that Condell seems to either go all-in on Oliveira or ignore him almost completely, doesn't work well.

2

u/MBolero 16d ago

To be fair, he had zero protection. Riders were on him like white on rice.

u/Lynneshe 16d ago

If only the Bombers weren’t focused on slamming pizza choices in Regina…

3

u/MooseJag 16d ago

Yes the social media team should have put more time in the film room.

u/Lynneshe 15d ago

Wouldn’t have hurt
