Careful, conservative passing game. Better in the second half. Chappie and Wally let Lulay go for it a bit more.

No running game to speak of except Lulay's scrambles.

I like this Hyland. Covers a lot of ground. Not afraid to hit, unlike Phillips.

For us, that is probably holding Reid down.

1st half was brutal. Typical Chap ball control play calling. 2nd half was much better. They seemed to let Lulay go for it more. This seemed to help his confidence. The last drive was money. Excellent time management and gutsy 3rd down gamble.

[Solar Max]

Now for round 2 for Travis and the boys in Winnipeg.

I don't think Chap called that second half. I really believe Lulay decided he was tired of running (ironic choice of words) an offense that is designed to fail. Would not surprise me if as I type, Lulay is getting chewed out from The Chap for deviating from his game plan.

Completely agree.

Completely agree.

Yeah I didn't see much change in the actual play calling, but I think they let Lulay go for it a bit more. Chap's best play calling was when he used Jerome Messam and Yonis Davis in the back field. Robertson was terrible at blocking today.

And Robertson has been terrible on blocking on more than one occasion this season. I think the real difference came in the second half when the OL gave Lulay time, then he could actually make some reads and check down far enough to decide to run the ball if needed.

[Solar Max]

The O line was Travis' biggest problem in the first half. They made Travis' life miserable for 30 minutes.

[Solar Max]

Oh and I agree about Robertson. Huge disappointment as far as blocking assignments go this season.

[WestCoastJoe]

Not having watched the tape, here are some impressions.
...............

Defence is playing hard and well. Hyland is making a difference at safety. I was preferring to see Phillips there, but not anymore. Wally stuck with his guy Crawford for way, way, way too long, as he tends to do with his guys, as compared to dog house guys.

Alum is a stone cold killer at MLB, as is Banks at tweener. Mitchell gives us a very strong presence in the middle. Our DBs are good. Franks, Phillips, Sanchez, Marsh and Hyland.

Yonus Davis. I've been saying since we saw him dodging live bullets that I like him even better than Little Logan.

Ultra conservative game plan in first half. No points. Barely 100 total yards. LOL

Either Chap liberated the book a bit, or Lulay improvised. Lulay showed some of what we saw last year and this year. I liked him before, and I still believe in his potential. I still like Casey too, but he has a lot of baggage from coaches in his head. Kansas City, Hamilton, and now Chapdelaine. He looks quite torn between playing his instinctive style and the pocket passing style desired by Chapdelaine. Lulay might be Chapdelaine's preference.

Climie and Dunigan very critical of Buono and Chapdelaine.

Too conservative.

Playing not to lose ...

Shackles on Lulay ...

Not the QBs fault.

-- from the game day thread

Boring first half. Lulay started to make plays in the second half.

Hard hitting game. Playoff atmosphere. You could call it a defensive struggle. A classic defensive game? Nah. Not that great. The offenses were not all that challenging to the Ds for most of the game.

I thought the individual pass blocking was OK, but we were still hard hit by blitzes. IMO that is a coaching thing. 4 sacks. And Lulay scrambled very well to keep the pressure down a bit.

We'll take the win. Our hopes for success this year are still alive. Will this style of football fill the stands? Got some doubts there. Could it get us a date with Montreal or Calgary in the Grey Cup? Sure. With some breaks and good play. And with a liberated offence.

All of this is just IMO ...

[Rammer]

The O line was Travis' biggest problem in the first half. They made Travis' life miserable for 30 minutes.

I don't know that the Bombers DL wasn't suppose to put pressure on Lulay, they are that good IMO, it was more surprising that the OL actually did limit the DL in the second half. But if the Bombers brought a blitz, it was pretty much dependent upon Lulay using a rollout for any success.

[Solar Max]

Awfully quiet in here this evening compared to when the Leos lose. :-)

Everyone fell asleep at the game.

More thoughts on this one later but:

-McCallum is money

-Sol-e is knocking more people out that Mike Tyson..and doing so cleanly

-Not enough organic passrush, Banks generated pressure on blitzes, but the 4 man dline did not.

-Stevie Black will be a star in this league

-Yonus Davis is a real weapon

-Win next week and the pressure is off.
