At the very least, they need to stop pretending Jake Thomas is prime Doug brown and have the chat with him. Perhaps have the chat with Willie also who seems to do lots of nothing out there. Get the old men some backups at the very least. Stop dressing 13 linebackers. And every time Zach throws a rookie interception, he should be benched as Streveler appears more capable at this point.

Last seen on FBI: Most Wanted. I wonder if his cancer was the reason he left? Very sad. RIP.

The only spot Parker has looked really good at is SAM. If he's 15 yards downfield he's treading water and struggling with reads. Corner he'd probably have to think less too and maybe could play a bit faster. I'd like to get a look at Allen. Someone a little more rangy who can also cover man all over the field which is necessary in the match coverages. Also, call Russ Dandy back. We need some oomph at corner. Both corners have eaten **** so far this season. Get some guys who will play the ball.

Whether this lot is allowed to stumble through the rest of the season essentially intact or a mid-season overhaul is induced, the outcome would seem to be about the same- get into the playoffs mostly by default and then flatline. Pick yer misery.

Collaros did not lose us the game, but he did not look like an all-star QB which he is well=paid to be, and he definitely did not lead the tram by example. As regards Wee Willie, he has been effectively when the rest of the D-line and linebackers are occupying the opposing blockers and leaving in one-on-one with a mediocre O-lineman. He does not seem to have the athleticism or drive of two years ago and the Bombers have to assess whether that is good enough or if a great play once or twice a d=games is enough for the salary he commands.

For sure. It drives us fans bananas…. Think of how it feels for the players that know they are better, yet continue to take a back seat to guys that are clearly inferior. Maddening.

Well, this is what happens when you're the most successful franchise in the CFL but for some reason don't want to spend to th cap limit & blame the $400,000 shortfall on the CFLPA. The Bombers looked awful last night. I haven't seen such a putrid performance since the mid teens. Osh just seems in a cloud half the time. He refuses to use the new rules for Nationalized Americans to Canadians as he doesn't want to take the time to figure out the reps. He's designated the worst starting Canadian as our starting NG in a 3 man front or at RDT in a four man. Jake gets stood up, pushed back, turned inside & outside, can't see the play coming in his stance as he actually does hold his head up as it flops down. Otherwise he'd see the manufacturers tags in his chest plate of his shoulder pads. He still can't see. No moves just a straight bull rush. Yet, he starts at the expense of younger & more effective players. What's scary is Osh has some kind of warped coaches code that says he'll start him as long as he wants to play. So then, in 2036 at age 48, in he goes as the starter on his twinkletoes. Bridges was having trouble covering last night at his corner spot. If anyone says we don't miss Tyrell Ford at corner then they're lying. Two huge coverage busts in the secondary. Last week we had one as well but we got away with it. This time we paid dearly. That has to be cleaned up. But how do you clean up the secondary when the DL is a clusterfuck with Thomas in there? I was concerned letting Lawler go & keeping Schoen who really is still recovering from a bad knee injury. IF Schoen doesn't last the season, we're in huge trouble. We play Stearns but I don't get the reasoning as he really is a "nothing" receiver. Right now, we're the ninth best receiving corps in the CFL. Cl;ercius is allowed to shine but he's a posession receiver. We have one deep threat in Keric Wheatfall. Demski is still capable of making big plays but he isn't the same receiver he was 2-3 years ago. I was also concerned that Osh would do stupid Osh things with Streveler. And sure enough he never let me down. Streveler shows he can actually play qb in the CFL & when we're down in the 4th quarter & the game was out of reach last night, does he play Strev to give the guy some reps? Nope. Osh keeps Zach in the game. No doubt, Osh will say, "I never took Zach out as he gave us the best chance to win". Our head coach is dumber than a sack of jackhammers.

Thanks for the sports update Mike, let's head over to Heather on what's up for the weather this weekend. 🙂

O’Shea sucked, Zach sucked, Jake sucked, Willie sucked, Vaughters sucked, Parker sucked, Bridges sucked, Bonds sucked go us

Excerpt taken from Steve Lambert Canadian Press quoting Wab Kinew: "It'll be really good for the documentary they make about the Winnipeg Jets winning the Stanley Cup." Now ain't that the truth 🙂

I'm sure he and Younger are not saying we want more jake....Gimme some Jake and Korn I wonder if they are "supplied" with the guys Osh wants and have to make it work....appears to be

I find it surprising that it wasn’t about money or term and the Jets would’ve exceeded the Carolina offer. Not sure I’m buying that. But whatever…. Good luck to you Nik.

I wonder what Darrell Patterson says when breaking down the work of our D-line after four games behind office doors.

Why? Parker has made a few plays but he hasn't been lights out by any stretch. He's also a big part of why the secondary has struggled (lack of communication, broken coverages etc). I honestly think he would be more effective (and look better) playing the corner next to Holm. I also recognize that it's still early in the season and we went through similar growing pains last year as a result of changes in the secondary.

I was much more diplomatic than you in me calling him our number one freelancer but hammer meet head on your post here.

On the idea on an airlift, they don't really happen anymore. Guys can make more sitting on NFL PRs which are expanded or are more willing to wait on injuries and getting another look if cut by the NFL. Name the last player who came in as an airlift (around Labour Day) from the NFL and made a difference to ANY CFL team.

The positive mid season changes over the last many years seem to be done out of injuries and being forced to try someone new. What really puzzles me is that the few times that they have put in a new guy who showed promise... they immediately go back to plugging the spot back to the old player (Jake Thomas). It shouldn't take a season ending injury to make tweaks on a roster.....

Vaughters works and there's definitely a role for the style of player he is on any team. Jefferson would not have survived into his 30's in basically any era right up until the one we are in now where everyone is a player's coach. The complete lack of effort about 90% of the time is inexcusable. Can be any time in the game and he's jogging at a QB looking like an old man trying to not get hit by a car while jaywalking as the QB goes right around him to the sideline and open space. He's the most egregious example of a guy who at best is a role player, and has been most of his career, who is basically given no leash and no accountability on this team. Doesn't really matter if he's a great guy. Is that the level of effort you want to see from a teammate? If he can watch himself play as he has the past couple seasons and not be absolutely embarrassed he must have zero self-awareness.

negated by penalty hahaha

Jake rolled into Adams injuring him. That was his tackle.

Loved his heart...but couldn't stay healthy and was rarely a factor in the playoffs. Best of luck to you in Carolina.

and who would blame them...and I can totally see it a few need to go...yup...others need to be in the back seat to fresh talent and become thatdepth...which would make us a way better tem all around...we have a lot of the pieces...we just using the wrong ones...or in wrong order...

or....you cant go home
