The frustration with O'shea has been consistent for the past 3 seasons- his rigid devotion to certain players, even when it was obvious that his loyalty was misplaced, resulting in a steady downward spiral for the team. He may be a nice guy and calls his mom regularly, but he has glaring deficiences as a coach which he has refused to change. I cite his retention of a certain ex-marine who had little talent but was kept on regardless, and his usage of Collaros in the last Grey Cup game. Every coach and even GM has a "best before" date and I believe that O'Shea has exceeded his.

The thing is Burke gave Dycw an extension & you have to ask why?? Dyce is a terrible head coach. He's never had a winning season as a HC & somehow he merited an extension??? Why???? With the coaches cap, the RedBlacks are handicapped. They can't get rid of him. Burke has truly built a losing culture in Ottawa. They need a housecleaning in Ottawa. Neither of them win. That's the problem.

Crum seems to be able to make things happen with this supporting cast.

Crum will be their starting qb next year and Campbell will be the head coach again. Dyce is very uninspiring as a coach, Dru is good but Crum just seems to give better hope at qb.

RBs still in this ******* thing but Jesus this should have been an easy RBs win if they hadn't ****** around on O... DB6 with some real bad decisions that ****** em.

I do. The day they're fired, I'll go to the liquor store & buy me Glenfiddich 12 year old single malt whiskey & crack it open to celebrate. Twelve seasons of this **** is more than enough. Both are old, tired & soft. Making questionable decisions. They're winning this season despite themselves because there's still enough veterans paying well enough to get the job done. I can see us finishig 9-9 or 10-8. However, another off season like the last where Walters does sweet piss all, Osh with his roster favouritism & just watch the Bombers fall off a cliff next season.

Ottawa is pathetic

Please tell us what Walters actually did this past off season or what he's tried to do to improve the team considering we're hosting The Grey Cup? Please tell us the crackerjack job Osh has done with the team always fielding the best roster possiblle. Please tell us how the same 2 people running the show are suddenly going to solve the problems they created??

Jake Thomas is by no means our biggest problem. But he’s the most glaring example of roster negligence we can possibly ever imagine having. We start him and it’s not even ratio related. He could be replaced by an American tomorrow and it would not affect the ratio one bit. Unless our team is admitting they’re not putting out the best possible roster, the only explanation for this is that we can somehow not find a better DT down south than Jake Thomas.

Schenn inexplicably goes to pick up his stick, allowing the Flames to get the first goal. Net front wide open. Schenn and Fleury look horrible so far. Like beer league bad.

Maybe we can suggest a promotion for Hogan ... RB HC for 2026

A more honest update is that people are frustrated that this club has moved glacially slow in making the necessary changes that other clubs would have addressed immediately instead of waiting half a season and/or until a player gets injured. O'Shea saying "nothing wrong all is good" has made people believe that he is arrogant and stubborn and unwilling to admit that they made poor decisions and need to change. The lack of free agent signings and giving Zach a big contract for next season has soured the people on Walters. The roster management has been terrible and people are split on blaming O'Shea or Walters. Nobody can understand why Jake Thomas is starting and puzzled on why they have not attempted new players to see if they can create a spark. I don't think anyone wants either Walters/O'Shea to be fired... just a kick in the pants and for them to stop sniffing their own farts and stop resting on pass success and do something. Everyone has agreed that the new OC Hogan needs to be fired ASAP.

i think Dru Brown still has potential, but some of those picks make me think letting him walk may have been the right move. Hard to say though, he has no supporting cast in Ottawa.

Thanks for catching me up to speed. I just think it's funny that we can all speculate but have no idea if anything was "half assed" I suppose it's possible. Seems like there's some glaring roster weaknesses. That said it's also a home grey Cup year Also these people are paid handsomly to do their jobs. & We've been to 5 grey cups in a row. These years have given me clarity ... It's a long season and it changes like the weather. Let's decide after the season is over who's to be praise, or blame. What I know for sure is that they consistently field a competitive team. My whole existence as a bomber fan prior was pretty much chaos and turmoil. I start at Daily era and work my way forward from there. Just chill, people. I guess without some chaos there's no fansite. So in that sense, thank you

And in the GM's office.

I won't be able to start the game day thread next week due to being away from the computer

Ottawa D holding em in but ****... Gotta make better decisions on O.

Too bad, Ottawa had the opportunity to do something really funny.

This looks to get real ugly, real fast.

thats been Browns problem all year, throws some great passes then ....one to the wrong team

It's over. Bob Dyce say your goodbyes.

Riders are overrated... This game is winnable for the RBs but they need to string together some first downs. This drive has looked much better

Brown showing good decisions and a strong arm, but I do not expect Ottawa to win unless the Riders go to sleep.

You have to study the history of how we got here. First there were the O'Shea haters. These ones claim we should have five Grey Cups and MOS is a piece of **** for only getting 2. Walters built such an incredible roster that surely Tim Burke could have won all 5. Enter the Walters haters. It's not O'Shea's fault!! It's Kyle Walters! He's not doing enough! And so on. So that's where we are now. It's going to be Defcon 5 here if the Bombers don't make it to the Grey Cup at home, let alone win it. O'Shea is public enemy number one but Walters is right behind him. And all 12 posters here know I'm speaking the truth.
