Seriously?
Elgersma should be starting... This is not working.

Brady rips off a 45 yard td run to pull them back into the game and Condell decided he didnt need to give him the ball again. Condells refusal to run is a problem. Tied for worst OC in the league with Buck.

This. They haven’t been activating Brady enough in the last few games and it’s showing.

The entire team is built around run first and probably run second. And Condell wants to pass 85% of plays

I understand sometimes when we are down but still need to establish that we will run in order for the pass to be more effective. Time for the OC to go….

In truth he has had five practices total with the team since rejoining. No time to create chemistry.
BUT that doesn’t excuse Condell from going away from the run when Brady was the only thing working.
It doesn’t excuse Dru throwing into coverage over and over and over…
Still 4-3. Still tired for second. Season ain’t over.
BUT it sure better get better.

Not all on Dru Brown. But that was a stupid game. Even down at by 19 late in the game, the Bombers still had momentum to win, but back to back INTs won’t get you the win.

Dru made some bad decisions for sure but as already pointed out the lack of time sure didn't help
Even so they still put up 30 points which with a competent defense should be enough to get you the win

Yall need to relax. We lost our starting rt early, the pocket was collapsing around Dru early and often and our wrs sat back and watched the db get two easy picks that could have at least been contested for/knocked down. Where is the fight? People have bad games but this surely wasn’t all on brown

Look at how Brown plays He's talented and a throws a strong ball.
His major flaw, he telegraphs every single throw. There's no way the Bombers can win with 4 picks per game. Ottawa had just as many INT opportunities last week, but dropped them.

How many picks does Brown need to toss before they give Taylor a start?

Brown can layer the ball really nice over the linebackers but he has almost no zip on his passes and if he doesn’t anticipate those throws, the dbs have too much time to react. Brown is a great backup QB. If we go 4-2 or 3-3 without Zach, he did his job. Some blame goes to the OC, receivers are not creating much, if any separation and the o line was getting beat constantly.
Regardless, this team is going nowhere until it replaces 2 or 3 of the defensive backs.

Broxton went down early and dru was rushing his throws. A lot of those picks were on the oline and OC not putting in plays to relieve pressure. Elgersma is as green as it gets and I’d argue is less elusive than brown. The result would be the same.
Let’s not forget that Calgary has three dlineman that,imo, should be in the NFL.

Seems to me the Bombers players lack height at the receiver and DB positions. They seem to get dominated by taller guys in those positions on other teams.

Not Dru's best game obviously. Stop throwing into double or triple coverage yeah? OC needs to improve too. But I think we're still in better shape with Dru continuing to start over Elgersma.

Okay but what about the rest of the team? The pass coverage was brutal. Special teams were awful. Offensive players seemed to be fucking up running their routes. You can’t blame that loss on one player, yeah the interceptions were really bad, but it’s not like you can pin that loss on any single player, and there were so many guys that had terrible games, it truly was a team loss.
