OT: 2019 Blue Bomber (10-6) Regular Season Thread - Oct 19 @ Calgary (10-5)

[bustamente]

Sounds like Alexander will be starting at safety, Woli out Gaitor out, so some guys moving around on D

 

[The Blue Baron]

I predict a close BB victory at the toilet seat.

28-27 BB

 

[ThinIce61]

So Hecht is the scapegoat for a defensive backfield that plays an acre off the ball on every play?

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Should we be reading anything into this?

Doesn't change the fact that he was a garbage safety

I'm expecting a lopsided Rider win. I think this team is falling apart, and now without a DC on the sidelines, I can see confusion reigning supreme. Plus, I'm starting to think the Streveler sucks crowd might be right.

It’s clearly something serious to miss a game at this point in the season. I wish Richie Hall and his family all the best.

He's has his moments but I'd say that of everybody in the DB he hasn't been the worst.
Moving Rios up for Gaiter gets hot, hot, hot garbage out of the DB

Help is right as in you need some help!
The Bombers will be fine and romp these Green Turds.

He has been the worst... by an insane margin. Rios isn’t bad at all, believe it or not.

I dunno. I'd like to be able to see a breakdown of every defensive play and see who truly has been torched the most all season and for how many yards and touchdowns.
Maybe it's Hecht but I'm willing to bet if those stats are available they'd show different.

Safeties are never in man coverage so they don’t get “torched” quite as often as the other DBs. But Hecht has horrendous tackling form, is slow as any DB in league history and while he was playing reasonably well positionally early in the season, he literally can’t keep anyone in front of him anymore. It’s really hard to play worse safety than he is over the second half of the season.

 

[ThinIce61]

I'll say good luck and a win would be nice. I'll be watching hockey, baseball, NCAA football, championship knitting but not watching the Bombers.

Well based on what I've seen opposition receivers are a regular occurence behind all our DB's so much so that maybe that's where our DB's figure they should be so they ignore them.

Even the far more Talented Loffler who was a beast what was it 3 seasons ago was nothing really that special the last 2.

I figure the highlights which I will watch will tell me all I need to know.

LOL Wow congrats Grammy!

Loffler had more talent than Hecht (but really, who doesn’t?) but he still had very poor speed for a DB and was cut a lot of slack because he had a lot of big hits in his first season. His positional play was terrible and almost anyone in that spot this year would have been an upgrade. O’Shea just happened to choose one of the only guys worse. A 34-year old who wasn’t a good athlete relative to his peers even in his prime.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Calgary loses..... yeah!

Now go get a win boys!

 

[None]

What a play by the Als defense and specifically Lokombo to stop Calgary.

 

[bustamente]

Tonight's game just got a lot more important with that Calgary loss

 

[Blitzkrug]

Come on boys. Show some heart.

We're sputtering. Even if they don't win tonight, just show some heart.

 

[None]

I can already see that Brandon Alexander is making faster decisions than Hecht.

 

[None]

Probably should've challenged the ball to Petermann, but Adams needed to hang onto the second.

 

[Ducky10]

Just what a struggling young QB needs backed up on his goal line......dropped passes.

 

[snowkiddin]

Heading to Elton John and missing the game. Have no faith in the Bombers whatsoever, hopefully they can pull it out somehow though.
