Ya that's fair... I haven't consciously been taking the home GC into account, but that probably is there somewhere. I'm just really sad because of how much I've enjoyed the top of the mountain. I don't want the good times to end. Call it being a child of divorce, if you want, but I don't want to see a "break up" on Chancellor Matheson.... Ha ha.

Let's be honest, many of us (Rebus raises his hand) are more ticked off this year because its a home Grey Cup and the team is struggling. Throw in an unspeakable horror taking place on November 16th (potentially) and you get this.

I think Calgary will finish first. The Riders vs. Bombers Labour Day games could have easily been a split, in spite of all the warts.

Bob O'Billovich coached the Argos for eight seasons (1982-89) before getting fired. Dinwiddie is now in his fifth season.

This has been an issue as long as Collaros has been here. He wants to take shots. Even on the plays he gets cranked and the second INT there's a guy on his read side with nobody within 10 yards of him. The hot routes are in the scheme.

I kinda hope Calgary finishes 1st in west and we play Sask in the western semi final in Regina. I dunno. That I think might be fun. Then it doesn’t really matter what they did would it? I mean a win in Regina vs Sask would be phenomenal. I say I hope west semi cuz don’t want Sask even possibly repping the west via bye to west final. Sask winning here would be gut wrenching.

Yeah just get rid of the sacred cows. They've been doing it gradually but I think they need to take some control on guys who are even all-time, HOF players. Like are we keeping Stanley Bryant at LT until he decides at age 72 that he's done? I think one of the two likely walk and do something else for awhile. Not thinking they'll go directly to another CFL team in the same role. Also not sure Dinwiddie is solid. If he makes it to next season he'll be the longest tenured Argos head coach since the 1940's.

Walters and Osh get another chance to right the ship next year. Move on from Hogan (OC), Mitchell* and Logan* now Move on from some vets in the off season - we need new blood - Thomas, Bryant* (one of the best - but aging out), Gauthier, Streveler* (my current favorite Bomber - all heart - but diminishing returns/ or make him fight it out for third string), Dalton Shoen* (again all heart and skill, but body is failing him - very sad for him), Kolo (skill issue) - and have actual training camp battles - especially on the OL/DL - and draft a few potential starters on the OL/DL.

I’m not sure I see where. Dinwiddie going nowhere. Hamilton ain’t doing it. They are the cursed. Ottawa is the only option and they might be a bigger mess than us. I don’t think Ottawa is an O’Shea who perhaps is a good motivator and perhaps leader of men but in reality his decision making and roster management I think would bite him in his butt there also. Like what does O’Shea do? I mean besides everything according to booch and others. But besides that, what is he? He’s not an O coach. He’s not a D coach. He’s a sp teams coach.

I dont think they need to clean house with Walters and O Shea. They need a wake up call and definitely a new wave of players. Its the CFL you can change a team in just one off season.

No not tasty at all, a bit bitter.

Absolutely... And it's so unfortunate that we've come to this. We weren't prepared to handle the winning and the inevitable dip in success.

At the very least a fine.

I'm not sure if it's karma or crow...but it's not tasty.

Yup feels like we’re starting to eat our own. The past five years have spoiled us. I’m sure Sasky fans are enjoying all of this but who cares they suck and will always suck. Amen.

I fully expect O'Shea to win at least one more cup as HC somewhere else... And it'll take us awhile to recover and rebuild.

It’s the CFL. Retool the DL (that can start now even, start brining in guys) and retool the OL ( off season. Free agency. Maybe trade) and you know what the team prob beats Sask twice and Calgary atleast once.

To get to 9-9?

Umm. Didn’t O’Shea have to challenge it even so yeah lol at the refs and league taking it seriously. Head shots against Zach seem to be taken the exact opposite way it should be. O’Shea had to challenge it. That right there is the biggest problem. Refs didn’t even call it.

Haven't read through the discussion so i dont know if this has been brought up. Does Hogan just doesn't believe in hot routes to beat a blitz? Middle of the field wide open every single blitz the riders sent and not once did anyone fill it. Thankfully BCs defense is as useless as the Bombers offense so they should be in the playoff picture all year.

Removed some posts in an attempt to keep things civil.

Well if they don't want QB's taking head shots seems like a pretty clear decision to make. But they also don't seem to care quite enough to take that step.

I hope so cuz yeah. Never gonna be a thing. wrestling fans might understand aew and tony khan vs WWE. Yeah it’s ugly. The fan ain’t doing so well. The fans dad tho gave him the money so it’s unlimited funds but it’s a mess. I feel both O’Shea and Walters Go. I don’t think they necessarily go elsewhere but I think they are done here after this season. Ottawa might make changes but everyone else prob not right. Us and Ottawa really. I hope Wade sticks around and makes the right hire cuz it better not be McManus as GM. That would be not good at all. Honestly. Who are the candidates? The next ones? Are there any or should we actually hope Osh and Walters are back next season but with more of a retool approach.

Deleted some bickering, while leaving relevant info intact Some good stuff here...do carry on...but not as you were

So who's the hotshot GM and Coach combo you want to lead us to the next era of glory? There's a lot to lose in blowing up a front office that has proven itself more than capable of fielding dominant teams. I mean in my entire lifetime we've had only a handful competent GM's and head coaches. I think it is quite likely that the key people in that front office are ready to move on though, and that's a big part of what happens next. Doubt many people in real life have done the exact same job for 12-13 years. It's pretty unusual.
