I'm slightly worried that O'Shea has lost the room... With the asterisk that I don't know enough to know enough. In years past, even if we lost, we rarely if ever got blasted. An Osh team was always in it, right to the end. One time in Calgary they were down like 25-3 at the half, and cake back and almost won it. Now, there doesn't seem to be as much of a fight in them.

Stearns and Case etc. are not terrible, but they are not what we need......They can be fine in the right situation like WBBfan says a 5th forgotten about guy that can use the elusiveness for the odd play...I don't believe that they are #2 quality every down guys...maybe they could be one day but today they are not.....I think I have come to the realization that I am not mad at the individual, it's the situation, yes they "are all starters" but Ayers is not an end, Case is not a #2 receiver, Stearns is not a #2 receiver, Clercious is not a #2 receiver, and Demski nor Wheatfall are not a #1 receiver...Wheatfall may grow into it...maybe.....Heck Wilson if we get him back is not a #1 receiver yet. I get injuries happen and Schoen being out again sucks....but we can't IMO play guys in positions that they not capable of.......well actually you can in say the 5th receiver spot or in certain formations as an example perhaps having Ayers in almost as hybrid a 4 LB set. But you can't play them in elevated positions or we see what we saw the last few games.....Look I like Ayers, but he does not do well at end, I like Stearns and Case if used properly, all three as examples have skill sets.....but we are failing them trying to for lack of a better term square peg, round hole them. Speaking of round peg square hole, without BA and Biggie, someone needs to communicate better on D...we are missing the leadership/communication...far too often this year we are seeing communication errors......example Holm on two guys...but there have been many......how many crossing routes against us have we seen our guys make an error....I am not sure who it is this year, but if it is Parker and Jones, they need to do better...if it someone else they need to do better, it's week 8........this is preseason mistakes, someone needs to step up and be the guy.....look athleticism is great, but certain roles require other skill sets and it appear to me we are missing many of these other skill sets..... Person got in, and got a few snaps, perhaps he continues, and we solve the end issue, what we are going to do with the receivers is tough with Schoen out (6 gamed), and Demski being used like he is it's only a matter of time till he gets knicked...I am unsure...... I am also not ready to write off Strev. yet......but he needs guys he can throw to, guys he can build some chemistry with.......that's another thing I have noticed a lack of chemistry between our QB's and our receivers....,How many picks...and heck pick sixes has this cost us this year....

So it's inspired by Booch?

This is amazing, honestly.

It's changed a lot, that's for sure. The coaching cap has hurt every team's ability to scout within the league, and has niche scouts in the US. We have 5 guys now who cover scouting. The GM, AGM, and 3 DOPPs. 1 DOPP and Walters heavily cover Canada. Mac has a territory; Jauch and Brock are left with the rest of the continental US and CFL. Walters fills a bit of everything, but also has all the other GM roles to do. Mac covers a fairly small geographic region, though the most dense and important. But that leaves a massive expanse of land for Jauch and Brock to cover. Hamilton has a bunch of non-coaching cap executives working for the organization and stadium to enable their cap counters to do more with scouting. They could do even more with it, but Ted just got them set up. I wouldn't be surprised to see more scout guys and fewer logistical guys in the coming years. I think Cyril was a much bigger piece of the WR talent surge we saw briefly. I think Ted was the DL guy though.

So the comic strip Crankshaft is going to be running a storyline between July 21st and August 17th about the characters coming to Winnipeg for a game. MOS will be in a few of the strips. Story in today's Free Press. Anyhow thought it was cool.

O'Shea has been head coach since 2014. Closest to that would be Dickenson who has been head coach since 2016. Calgary missed the playoffs last year before being 3rd in the West the prior 3 years, losing the semi final each year. Though their record the last three years was 12 - 6, 6 - 12, 5 -12-1. So one of those playoff years was just because everyone else in the West was bad. Calgary seems to have revitalized itself this year. Can O'Shea do that if we are entering a downward trend? Do we need to go through 2 years of mediocrity before that happens?

Still angry just thinking about it.

I'm 40 yards from the LOS, but imma rush the QB!

It seems like since we lost Ted, our scouting quality took a hard hit

"I'd like to thank God for the opportunity to start again. Its a blessing. I have also been reading comments from fans online and I need to say shut the front door to all those haters."

Great that means more player interviews with CF, ugh.

at least he is smart about it....kudos to him....and willing to play the best option available

Yup they were great at unclamping all night.

This is not meant to dump on MOS but he's in his 11th year here as head coach. That is a long time in any sport. Seriously how many coaches in the CFL last 10+ years.

Height had nothing to do with Bridges / Bonds repeatedly taking a dump in their shorts.

Yeah, it's an ok move, but with moves like this we need to bring in another guy then be quick to move on from guys in a week or two and cycle till we find something.

Last receiver we signed who has a masters degree in engineering was Dalton Schoen.

So this might be the "WTF This Can't be Right" of the year TMZ is saying it was accidental drowning, last thing I saw him in was four episodes of 9-1-1 last year. He played someone who was living in Bobby's apartment building back in Minnesota when the fire happened (both sides lost loved ones)

Our biggest issue I dont think is G.M....Other than he isn't being the firm Boss he should be and allows his HC to dictate too much....speculating here a bit but from what I see....know....and have been through thats my take in it. There def a disconnect there and a differing opionion on the type of player....or qualities in a player that is being kept/re-upped and leaned on....also everyone being buddy buddy too doesn't help...as it clouds decision making and not wanting to hurt feelings....players included...and thats a bad metric and has us where we at now Also Osh need to actually coach...be in the room....rattle cages for a lack of a better word....he allows too much self governing and has caused this malaise and comfort level that also is a bad thing and nobody has a worry in the world...only ones with worries are the youmg/newer guys who cant wait to get out of their contracts and move on

kinda what I thought too....doesnt realy inspire much

Good stats but hardly from a Big Ten conference. We can only hope with caution. Meantime, the watch for the enigmatic Mitchell to surface continues.

The way the Bombers played last game, I doubt they could have salvaged even a tie against the Smurfs.
