Who would have thought that Justin Goltz’s inability to get much going on offence would be the second-worst thing to happen to the Bombers on Friday night? Because that’s exactly what happened to this sad-sack team against the Calgary Stampeders. Goltz had the usual struggles of a quarterback making his first career start, but that was to be expected. The unexpected part was a Bomber defence that got Bryant Turner back in the lineup getting absolutely roasted for 490 yards, including a 29-for-33 showing from third-stringer Bo Levi Mitchell, who was also making his first career start. In other words, that wasn’t just the Bomber defence taking a step back last year. That was the Bomber defence becoming what it actually is. Jovon Johnson and Alex Suber, a couple of trusted defensive backs, couldn’t stop Mitchell. The defensive line managed just one sack for the second straight game. The screen passes worked all night long for Mitchell and Jon Cornish. This team is in massive trouble. Read more http://blogs.canoe.ca/bomberbeat/general/stampeders-37-bombers-24/
