walby2 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah, but I like how the Bombers are handling it. Promote from within, it's what gave them Fred Reid, it's what gave them Chris Garrett, maybe Bloi-Dei Dorzon is that next guy. Also I think you pretty much nailed it in the predictions. Decent import tailbacks are generally not hard to find. I'm pretty confident that Dorzon will do well for the Big Blue, although he is getting close to 30 so he is a short-term solution.Still, tough break for the Bombers. They have an unusual number of injuries for opening week. Their game vs. BC could get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Anyway my 2012 CFL predictions:East1. Montreal 2. Hamilton3. Winnipeg4. TorontoWest1. B.C.2. Calgary3. Saskatchewan4. EdmontonCould happen, although I have learned the hard way to never count out the Eskimos until they are out.they could finish ahead of the Riders--even without Ray...I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me...

DarkJourney Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Saskatchewan just wrecked the Ti-Cats in Hamilton, 43-16. It's only week 1 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walby2 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I don't think too many people were expecting Sask. to stick it to the Ti-Cats the way they did. Quite an upset to the extent that you can have a huge upset in week 1.Conversely, I don't think too many people were terribly surprised by BC's manhandling of the Blue Bombers.

NEW.ERA Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 The Bombers were within striking distance at the start of the 4th quarter, then whole bottom fell out. They weren't stopping Geroy, and they weren't stopping the Lions on this particular night. Also, Alex Brink is the new starter, I don't care what's said, Pierce's inability to score points, and stay healthy are really getting to all Bomber fans.

justie Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I know its only one game but yesterday the Offensive Line was terrible. Buck was sacked 4 times in the first half and he's the most fragile QB ive ever seen. And i agree with NEW.ERA Brink is better than Buck and he dosen't get hurt as much as Buck does. The defense though, was decent even without half of last years starters.

Magnus Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Nice little presentation for Ricky Ray in the game tonight. Remains to be seen whether or not this offense will click in the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the entire starting 5 was Canadian, including their 1st round pick from this years CFL draft Paul Swiston. Playing without January and Douglas hurt, and especially with LaBatte, and Khan gone now.I still think it'll be a very solid line in a few years.

officeglenn Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Looks like the Alouettes' revamped defence isn't clicking quite yet. Not completely sold on Drew Tate as a starter just yet, either, but if that means he has to lean on Jon Cornish quite a bit, I'm OK with that.

NEW.ERA Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I didn't watch much of the Stamps/Als game. But I do get the vibe of old as the hills for the Als. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I didn't watch much of the Stamps/Als game. But I do get the vibe of old as the hills for the Als.They didn't look like they had it together, and when they did the Stamps stopped them.Calvillo overthrew, receivers looked like they missed patterns and the defense was confused at times.But the Stamps defense looked solid and hungry.The offense looked like they had it together.Let's see how the rematch in two weeks goes, but first the Argos...

justie Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Drew Tate looks like he broke his wrist. Calgary better hope Glenn still can play like he has in the past.Hope Tate is okay.

NEW.ERA Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Up until the last 6 minutes it was easily the worst CFL game I have ever watched. Still pretty bad. Riders look primed, but the Esks don't leave much for the imagination. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walby2 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Well, so far in week 3 we've seen games at the two opposite ends of the spectrum... Montreal came back to put up 2 TDs in the last 2 minutes and change to beat Calgary in a thriller, while Edmonton ran up a 35-0 halftime lead over Winnipeg and never looked back.

NEW.ERA Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Loan bright spot for the Bombers Chris Matthews, doesn't matter who is throwing to him, he steps up. But an 0-3 team has many faults, I really thought they were starting to come together last week, only for it to fall apart this week.Defensive pressure, started to come through late last night, but their should be a hell of a lot more of it. Yeah I get losing Phil Hunt, and then Odell Willis, but come on where is Jason Vega, Kenny Mainor, Alex Hunt! Offensive line, very young, and quite unstable, which is probably the main catalyst in Quarterback inefficiency, but Buck Pierce getting hurt again, then Brink. Could be Joey Elliot's team, for the near future. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
