I’m forever grateful for the ascent of 2016-18 and kings of the mountain 2019-21… but the last few endings have soured me on the Bombers saying they value the person/player first. When I read O’Shea’s quote from Tait, “But as of anything, any time a guy gets nicked up we are always going to put the player first.” Sadly my first thought was calling BS. I’m sure he thinks and believes this. However, his actions from ZC to Bighill, Bailey, Schoen and many others (even Wallace last game) show that maybe he doesn’t really know what that means… that or the Bombers medical staff is negligent or being overruled.

They won't either. Milt just lost a son so I won't say anything about him. However, I think Osh is a freaking hypocrite saying tht he cares about player safety. Sure... Yeah, like what he did to Schoen this year. The Collaros finger injury in last year's Grey Cup. The injured he started & played in the 2023 Grey Cup. Some, like Biggie, Collaros, Alexander & Demski couldn't run. Osh needs to shut his pie hole when saying that injuries are no one's business but the team & that he cares about player safety because to me he doesn't show it. If the team announced injuries like they used to I believe this kind of bullshit wouldn't happen as questions would be asked as to why an injured player who is supposed to be 6 gamed are still playing.

He might want to go back and watch the film on his ear hole hit. As for him charging that one of our lineman intentionally dove at his knees, I would suggest then going to his coach, get the gametape that shows it and submit it into the league for review.

and watching Wallace last game on fg unit trying to run and cover after the miss....no way dude should have been out there doing that...guy could barely run, and makes sense with a hip injury at 300+ pounds Vibert should have been in as that extra Oline guy...and also is a guy who can play center...could have tossed him in for a few reps to get a look....but nope ZC...finger...ankle...next yr we had Bailey..Demski...Scoen...Biggie...all could run let alone have any explosiveness or ability to cut/break.....3 yrs straight we played hurt guys for no reason

Its pretty obvious the injury...the extent of...not totally but he got knockedthefukout...and this the 3rd time...we know of this yr that he has been dinged good enough it cause some kind of head trauma...so much they yanked him from 3 games...sat out a game...and who knows if hes been rattled and nobody knew...some of his play this yr he seemed in lala land. And with our penchant of playing guys hurt for them to yank him...must been something significant or gave them cause for concern So Milt stating the obvious about whats maybe best for ZC and his thoughts on it are not out of this world and surely not in the minority..and really didnt warrant the response it got from Osh

Milt and Glenn as well. That 4 touchdowns on 4 catches is a game I'll always remember.

I'm super excited for Hallett, going to wear my Hallett jersey all day tomorrow

The other thing about that clip... man we could use a quick release like Glenn had these days. Let us not forget his burning of Davin Bush for 4 tds.

Methinks O'Shea has gotten a bit oversensitive about his well-deserved reputation about fielding injured players.

MOS is an obstinate donkey and the more he talks the less I like him. As a guy behave how you want, I wouldn't care or comment but it's clear that attitude bleeds into his coaching. Well that's weird. Who would expect a bunch of speculation about a franchise QB's injury when absolutely zero information is forthcoming? He's well within his right to not share info but then to whine about people speculating is just being obtuse.

I am a somnambulist, and I expect the BB to sleepwalk through the next game.

How goes it Mr Hallett hahaha

Frustrating player but he had his moments. Always wished his give-a-**** level was higher.

Mitchell...he of 5 games with 11 grabs for 85 yards...like is this Josh Johnson all over again...look how long it took to pooch him You would think seeing that lack of production we'd try Echols...can't be worse...plus gives you returner depth too Yup...and Hallett for Kelly...so added an older shittier guy at same waste of a spot on roster where could have made more sense and had value I'm sure tho we will see lotsa Hallett on in chase being burned left right and center...just like before

Or him having a front row seat to Kelly Malveaux signing a football he thought he intercepted, only for it to be called a Stegall touchdown.

And I bet he said that with a straight face, too. I am a behaviourist. and it matters little what people say, but are defined by what they do and O'Shea's past actions give a pretty clear as to his mindset.

Status quo we go.....I'm shocked...Guys questionable....no sense letting them get truly closer to health and see what else you have...that be dumb And a defensive front struggling to get pressure of any kind...let alone consistent play...so ....keep trotting the same configuration of guys....that will win ya many I kinda had some positive vibes feeling going on, and that we may kinda retool a bit...those vibes just flew out the window We may very likely after this week be tied at bottom with 6 wins Hopefully both those 4 win eastern teams lose to keep us 2 up in the crossover...I feel like that may be our best shot at post season sadly....oh how the mighty have fallen osh think's close losses are victories and validates that his process and way he does stuff is working...and magically things will turn around and pan out...(mind you only to fail in Cup as the getting there was flawed at best and covered up the weaknesses) and why we in this mess now That magic tho now is gone....and he has no answers other than...status quo

He was oblivious indeed....needs to process that quicker and realize he needs to abort primary and zip a quick hitter into someone....or just actually evade...he was so locked into his primary read he basically tee'd himself up for a pummeling....and not the first time the last few season's either

2 wins in the last 5 games, both against a back up QB (and in the case of Montreal the back up QBs back up back up) and the Bombers decide to trot out the same old, tired DL that has failed to generate any meaningful pressure in over a month (only 3 sacks in those 5 games). Maybe those 9 LBers on the roster will help with that?

Riders culture has been one of spoiled assholes for a long time. Always making dirty plays and whining it's not dirty.

Weakest lineup of the year! Looks like ol Mother Hubbard's cupboard is pretty bare! Might be a 400+ yard day for Bo Levi!

Hallett's Dad or Mom posts on MBB?

They should’ve kept White Jr.

Yeah he only gave a piss lol

Echols for Mitchell would have been good. I’d have left Woodby, taken Ayers off for Woods and Ball or Hallett off for Bailey

Milt did that a lot to DB's. 🙂

Sure, of course. A kick in the ass is better than a kick in the junk undoubtedly. Thing to me is that we likely would have won 5 cups in a row instead of just getting to them if some of these red flag issues had been dealt with over the last 2-3 years.

this had already started manifest in 2022 really...then simmered and sautéed to what has now become a nice piping hot plate of crap As most you all will surely attest...and yeah I agree I'm sure it annoyed a lot of you but I was hollering red flags and and saying that if we didnt smarten up....we were in the descent already and in danger of becoming a real bad squad....but easily fixable/preventable....and well we just brushed it all under the rug....rode our past success with nary a concern....and boom.....look at us now.....hate to say I told you so....but...I did And the "yeah but" crowd just kept ya buttin' And dont get me wrong...Not all on Oshea...G.M has to shoulder a lot too.....And should have right from the start took away some of Osh's say and influence over the whole on field part

Not disagreeing. Just saying that no qb could play well behind the OL we have now. It was allowed to happen. One off season with a quality coach like the guy in Vancouver (qbmotion on Instagram) would probably do it. Trevor Harris, Nick Arbuckle & Nathan Rourke all work with the guy...

definitely noticed he has to take a bit of a run and almost heave it with all his might to get it downfield....Almost looks like the Faj and how he does similar Where I really have noticed it is on his outs our deeper sideline passes to far side of field...awkward looking now to make those and it's cause he really needs to body English the heck out of it to get it there.... Of he wants to continue his career and evolve a bit as an older passer...he should seriously look into going to some camps, or working with a lot of the coaching now that goes into the new way of teaching passers... Relearn how to create a new base...hip motion and lower body twist to get ball out quick and with velocity He now needs to learn or morph into basically lower body mechanics in his throws...His smarts and experience and if he able to retrain his muscle memory...could squeeze out several more yrs

The ol has hastened Zachs down fall. But if you look at his good games the last two years, he needs to practically run into a throw to get it 30-40 yards down field and it will still end up well short. He can't get the ball out quickly or cleanly either. And if you look at his play off stats here, he had 1 good game and a whole lot of bad games.

I don' think Collaros is asbad as some are saying. Look how terrible our Ol has become. They've virtually withered up & died the past 3 years. We've gone from having the best OL to the worst. All we seem to do is draft & develop for other teams. We've let Michael Couture, Drew Desjarlais, Liam Dobson go to free agency & lost them all. We never look to improve or spend the money on keeping our players after their rookie contracts expire. So, who do we have playing? Kolo, who is the absolute worst starting center in the CFL, a fading Pat Neufeld at Guard, an over the hill 39 year old Stanley Bryant at LT. This seems to be a pattern with our GM. Draft & sign players to cheap rookie deals. Develop them for 3 years & play them. Then just as they're blossoming, refuse to pay them what they're worth & watch them sign elsewhere. While our GM Walters just shrugs his shoulders while saying buh bye. In the past 2 or 3 seasons ,it seems that more than just a few free agents can't wait leave here fast enough. Which is strange for a team we've been told has a head coach every player in the CFL wants to play for. The team allowed the OL to regress the past 3 years which makes no sense. Why pay your huge starter big bucks to Collaros with a history of concusions so much $$$ then cheap out on the OL? Basically become negligent in protecting Collaros & Streveler? The way the team is run & the decisions being made are just baffling. Protecting Zach should be Job 1, No qb can survive not getting injured or playing well if the pass pro sucks which it now does.

Osh worries about players privacy & refuses to be honest about any player's injury status. Then makes it a game for the media to get any info. Yet doesn't seem to worry about playing them when injured. Makes no sense to me.

Seems MBT is coming back for the Als. I doubt he makes much of a difference for them.

Hogan is basically "we've got lapo at home "

he not an Osh holdover/refugee...so my guess stuck behind osh's hero's Be perfect game to let Smith/Shay share reps at wil....J.Jones and T.jone's tag team the niddle...Let Person and Bailey get equal reps with WJ and Vaughters...see What Echols has Run with 2 import DT's....If that means dropping Aters...so be it...Woodbey has surpassed him with defensive reps anyway

At least 5 linebackers on the roster who won't take a snap on defense... brilliant

He's just like the team's fans. He has a case of whataboutism.

This just in. Cj Reavis confirms that he is an ******* who doesn't take responsibility for his actions. https://3downnation.com/2025/09/11/this-some-bullsht-saskatchewan-roughriders-db-c-j-reavis-fined-for-high-hit-on-bombers-qb-zach-collaros/

Sorry gotta call this out..we made it to the Grey cup last year..yea we lost but that ain't mediocrity...the bar is so high around here it's kinda sad..has everyone forgot how many years of crap we put up with before this regime took over?

When you are on the ascent or riding out the peak sure... 2018-2023 you can take those moral victories as either learning experiences or players going to be able to lean on their experience and right the ship... 2024 and on when your team is who they are, or the voices who can right the ship are in clear decline and holding on for dear life... not so much

We ain't never gonna see that again.

Damien Jackson's ears just perked up.

Bridges falling down or getting burnt deep repeatedly is something I'm glad we no longer have to endure. He'll fit right in with that D.

And the poor get poorer.

He’s got a similar disregard for outsiders, and a similar stubborn arrogance. He hasn’t gone full kelly though and I don’t think he ever would. he’s also earned far more as a hc than kelly up here.

On one hand most teams didn't spend through that whole 500k increase, he also had an upfront bonus of like 250k this year, so you'd only be eating the Pro rated amount for 1/3 of the year. That said, I want no part of kelly. 3dn lists it at 600k for this year, I believe next year was the same deal but it was never officially announced.

He's named Walters. The second Arbuckle falters, Dinwiddie will bench him.
