Resting some starters to prepare for a long championship run

"the character if not ideal has no impact with onfield play and as a cancer in room...is a nonfacter" Talented Ahole players definitively have an impact with onfield play and are a factor.

I see one rookie to cheer for #54 Jenkins but that might end up being from the couch not my seats, This doesn't look like a team that preaches 1-0 every week, and please don't roll out Osh's BS "They are ALL STARTERS!!!" I can't help but feel like this is the first of back to back losses to the Larks and an early end to our season.

Personally, I think last year was a big red flag. We recovered, but we did so by a huge streak of fluky wins. From that, to this year is a large sample size of un addressed issues. (not even getting into the GC loses to backup QBs) I think if he/they get next year, and I am sure they will, it should only be between half a year and up to the LDC worth of rope. Another start like we've seen both years, and you have to clean house to save face with the fan base. And I HATE mid season coach/gm firings. To extend contracts on both, and not being able to trust them with a season, is an awful position to put yourself in. If/when we do that, we need to insulate the staff/front office. We've got brock who can step in, though sub optimal for sure. I'd want a commitment from Danny that he'd take the interim job and come up here for the rest of the year. Then I think we'd also need an OC who can be a HC candidate to take over. We've seen Jackson do it with success, but at that point I think you need a decent back up OC he can work with in a positional role. But the fact we didn't give him he job and gave it to hogan, and no one else scooped him up is worrying.

That's not what I want to happen, but I 100% believe you are correct. Mcmanus has interviewed for GM jobs now, so I think he might be willing to move up here for the job. That is just speculation on my part though. Idk why he would interview for gm jobs if he wasn't willing to move though lol. My concern with Hall isn't even age, the primary one is health. He's only 64, but he has had some real struggles. And while I love the guy, and leader, I don't think he's cut out for that role.

they have had several seasons now to right the ship...I give the first Cup fail a mulligan...but since they should have been doing whatever to right the ship...and turn it back around...and would have been real easy too Instead...they have let it degrade further for 3 yrs now....to the point where we are at...question is....are they able to do it now with the people in charge?....I have my doubts.....and what transpores in playoffs will be a good indicator...same ol same ol and loss due to similar reason/issues.....see ya later

Yeah I'm tired of this regime's anti-Canadian bent.

nobody said fill it....or use assholes....but tis strict adherence to whatever the heck it is that they favour isnt the best roster you can have when it trumps actual talent

At the least, I don’t mind seeing if the new DE’s can do anything

I don't hate this (as painful as it will be to watch most likely). We're going to be showing Montreal very little and giving some key guys a rest. I hope they give Smith & Shay a lot of reps, even if they aren't starting (same with Terry Wilson).

so dumb The worst part about this is that the Bombers will pull a rabbit out of their ass and somehow win with Streveler having -70 net passing yards or something ridiculous and the riff raff will come out and be like 'bUt StReVeLeR jUsT wInS gAmEs'

The room won't be "good" if you fill it with Aholes. Even a few on the field can lose you games. Pacman Jones and Vontaze Burfict in the 2015 AFC wild card game is a good example.

So we're doing this and we don't give Smith and Shay the start but roll out Jones and Wilson?

It's official - tomorrow is a pre-season game. MONTREAL-at-WINNIPEG_OCT-25.pdf No Willie, Kramdi, ZC, BO, Vaval, Big Stan, Ontaria or Vaughters.

Nope when you first would go into the restaurant and the booths on the very right. For the longest time they had tchotchkes pinned on the wall/ceiling.

I wasn’t sure where to post this but here goes. Yesterday I received an email from the Bombers thanking me for being “part of something special”, a sold out PAS for this season and going back to mid-season last year. As season ticket holders or casual ticket purchasers, I’m guessing that more than a few of you got the same email. The sender was “Wade Miller <info@news.bluebombers.com>". This appears to be the Bombers’ generic mailbox with Miller’s name attached to it. However, when I hit “reply”, I got what appears to be Miller’s actual Bomber email address (wmiller@bluebombers.com). So, if you’re less than happy about the CFL’s proposed rule changes and/or changes to the field dimensions as I am, this might be an opportunity to let the President of the team know how you feel about it. Cheers.

sure you're not thinking of Leopold's?

I agree with that as well. I'd feel much more confident in this regime if they showed any kind of willingness to change/adapt but we haven't really seen that yet. Whether they stay or go, some things need to change.

Sure. & That's fair. I think we're all dissapointed in the outcome of the last few years. A lot of bone headed moves. To play devil's advocate though, would we have gotten to the dance at all (nevermind 5 running) with a different staff? I'm not convinced. I think 17to85 hit the nail on the head. Osh needs to find the fire again. That may be here, or that may be elsewhere.

This isn't new though. What many people have been complaining about (not going to rehash the same old arguments) has been happening for a couple seasons. This is just the first time the team hasn't been able to overcome the obvious problems and now more people have come around to the idea that maybe it's time for a change. These guys are Bomber legends and I don't think anyone will dispute that but all good things come to an end at some point.

I wonder if they had insurance....

It's all gone, it's bright with lots of yellow and red colors splashed around the walls. They had a mini renovation a few years back where they had taken down all the random crap up on the ceiling/wall. So no more Roy Orbison vinyls and pictures of Burton Cummings. What was funny is that they had taken them down but never repainted/revarnished the wooden panels and you could then see the outlines of the faded colors where everything was pinned up.

I don't want Osh or Walters gone, personally... I'd say if they want they should absolutely be back next year. Look, Osh doesn't project anything to the media or the fans but he's not a dumb guy. I'm sure he's done some reflecting of his own. Give the guys atleast a year to right the ship. Honestly it feels disrespectful to me to just throw these guys to the wolves after what they've brought to this organization. Hate seeing fans turn instantly on players/coaches. I do get this is pro football, and would it be warranted? After this season... Probably. That being said. I'll be happy if there back. Grass being greener, or something like that 1000% status quo has been "working" Well said

Pretty much agree with all of this 100%....

Trying to get them hurt so that can justify replacing them?
