They need to roll VA out. Too many balls getting knocked down at the line. Receivers seemed to have issues getting open as well.
With the ankle / knee issue I don't think he's capable of that often enough. Not stepping into throws either hinders his location & velocity which we've seen already.
Ya it was noticable on that long pass to Cottoy that he underthrew. Can't seem to plant and get the same velocity that we are use to seeing

Net offence at the half is 144 yards to 121 for the Bombers. The Bombers scored 10 points off turnovers, with the blocked punt and interception. The Lions could use a turnover of their own.

Rhymes lone target of the half was the Hail Mary. Seeing little to no separation from our receivers even when we make completions.
Lions enjoyed some success with Oliveria late in the half. It will be interesting to see if they start throwing on first down play action in the 2nd half

And Adams eats it. Throw it away. He reminds me of Geno Smith. Gets locked into a receiver and is oblivious to what’s going on around him

I like some of what Lions are trying.

Mizzell, I think they got to keep at that.

But get VA out of the pocket like the hail Mary.

Great Hail Mary and set up.

Loved the fake punt call BUT had it not worked I'd be saying it was a bad call that deep.

The blocked punt should have led to to a TIME OUT as they had 9 v 5 on their line.
Now let's give them 9

He lost 23 yards in 2 plays all on his own. Horrible

The offence still can’t find a way to attack Winnipeg, even with halftime adjustments.

Knevel trying to block Jefferson isn’t fair

BC gets a great return to start the half with a chance to get at least 3 points and get into the game again and Adams thinks he’s on dancing with the stars

Campbell leaving Adams in now should be a fireable offence. Bad Adams is now Bad Injured Adams and neither is up to the task.

We start on Winnipeg side of the field and we can't even get a FG?
