Say all you want about the deteriorating talent on the team but Hogan is completely in over his head as an offensive coordinator.

There's a saying in business - "The people who create a problem are rarely the ones best suited to fix it" Albert Einstein - "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

I see your "Strev and the OL" with a "lack of talent along the receiving core" and raise you a "Jason Hogan". Oh, you must be new here. Welcome to the site! 😆

Deck chairs on the titanic.

Things like grammar, punctuation, sentence structure are the difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack-off a horse

Kelly for hallet is fine and Parker going on for injured griffin is about the best you can hope for.... but man they gotta stop pretending what they're doing on the DL works.

I know riiiight I hate the people that with their long winded responses that go on and on and on and on and on with no paragraphs no sentence structure leaving us to decipher what they mean For the love of goodness be short concise and to the point enough with the PhD dissertations who do you think you are wasting our time Do you think I have time to read these responses when all one needs to do is get to the point Enough There are some of us who can write clear and to the point and not mispill things like catts and dawgs for gawds sakes Thank you for finally calling out these types of posts Literally everything that can be said in three to four words some here just feel the need to wax on and on and on Exhausting tiring frustrating annoying And what about the horrible try at their humour ffs Don't quit your day jobs people And yes where are the paragraphs??? Did we not pass grade school language arts? Jeebus not fun There would be a lot more engagement on this site if only we could write coherent and to the point opinions and move on after making your point no need to keep saying the same thing over and over and over again without the necessary breaks in paragraphs. and appropriate use of punctuation: I don't know how many times I find myself half way thru a post and not understand why they continue to same the same things over and over again using different words but meaning the same things without the correct grammer and puntuation Did I mention the spelling errrrrers? Good grief charlie brown , learn to spell at least at the third garde level And lets get back to the humor, you're not Bill Burr, you're a rando internet guy trying to be funny and you're not being funny not to mention the fact that you're being long winded with your responses and seem to get easily distracted with our points and just as a side bar why do they continue to play Jake Thomas? Anyway where was I oh yea tiring reading some of these posts that feel like that movie Planes Trains and Automobiles where Steve Martin's Character tells John Candy's Character he's like a chatty cathy doll yakety yakety when you tell a story have a point boy oh boy writing less I find with some is vey hard like their trying to fill space with their drivel and their half baked ideas. Okay I've tired myself out, I'm here all week.

Every week I hope for some significant changes to the Bombers' depth chart and every week I'm disappointed. I look at the D-line and keep seeing two Canadians (only one with some potential) with a backup Canuck (a previous Bomber cut) in the middle and give my head a shake. I realize that there are so many body morphologies but did Thomas ever look like a football player? On the other side of the ball, I see an O-line continually anchored (not in a good way) by Kolankowski and give my head another shake. As for QB, I'm pretty sure that Streveler is not the "answer", however, against the RedBlacks, I'll give him a half to change my mind. I'll be watching (weather calling for rain so I won't feel guilty about not doing yardwork) but I'm not expecting a win. "The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised."....George F. Will.

They finally put Nichols in during garbage time of a home game against Calgary iirc. They looked better and drove for a TD. Nichols then started the next game in Edmonton.

I'll start. I'm in the adult entertainment business. (wakes up goes to work feeling depressed).

Reavis fined again for complaining about being fined for his hit on Zach. To which I say

Well both those guys got better results with similar players so yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say Hogan is a clear step down from those guys. Lapos problem was entirely playcalling and knowing when to be conservative and when to go for it. He is a good football mind and did have a real nice playbook. Pierce similarly has run some good offenses in the past. Hogan though... he's got no accolades and defenses are not fooled in the least by what he's trying to do.

Agreed. No stunts or twists, nothing. We don’t rotate in guys with different skill sets for opposing o-linemen to worry about. Just gas out the same three guys (all in their mid-30s) so by the 3rd quarter they’re useless. The way we use our D front is the worst aspect of generally bad roster management across the board.

Our defensive rush has 0 creativity we line up three guys and 1 lb and tell them to wave their hands and push towards the qb. Meanwhile other teams run stunts and sack our qbs. If we blitz we telegraph it. Hard for any of them to be successful

Nichols replaced Willy in garbage time of the 2016 Calgary game where we dropped to 1-4. Nichols was the starter in the next game, which we won. I remember all this well because I think modern Bomber history began that night, since then our record has been way over .500. Dom Davis lost his QB2 slot to the Fever in the latter parts of 2017 but I think that change came between games too. Both of Dru Brown's big games in 2023 came after Collaros was knocked out of the game due to injury.

Chase a Grandma in the bedroom? Why would you? . God forbid you catch her.

Best we can do is line Thomas up at end.

we....ie: He....wont change anything unless a guy is soooo hurt he cant play. (and based on history even that is a stretch) ...or if a couple guys just said....eff it...I aint showing up today....sad that a joke like that is reality...but it is

You convert VHS copies of The Rockford Files to DVD???

Great quotes but to be fair some people are able to grow and learn and adjust their approaches and thinking when needed. Can MOS and crew do this? Well that's the current debate going on. My hope is they can but who knows maybe their tenure here has run it's course. Dunno without talking with them directly.

Bend but don't break... tries not to puke lol. A lot of his front alignment and assignments as well as run fits too.

And pat ourselves on the head while thinking those thoughts.

My guess is nope, not MOS's MO if you look at his tenure here. Stat junkies would probably know this, when's the last time MOS put in his 2nd stringer QB because his first stringer QB was struggling? Saw this heading today: 'Can the Ottawa Redblacks' O-Line keep QB Dru Brown in Saturday's game to the end?' I think their answer may be, yes yes we can.

You gotta think that if Streveler stinks it up again O'Shea has to atleast give Wilson a shot?? I mean the season is quickly going down the tubes in a Grey Cup hosting year. Out of self preservation alone O'Shea has to try something else?? Maybe?? Please??

Totally. The assumption that offensive coaches with not have the patience to stick with the running game...in 3 down football Defend the pass well and hold them to field goals...seems to work more often than not

I like the secondary. Hate the Dline (but wasn't expecting anything different) and really hope our rec core stays healthy.

lot of guys still use much of the stuff Stub's first introduced up here

was fully practicing all week several weeks ago too played a full yr rookie yr....had a season ending injury in 2023 in game 6 that wiped out his 2024 season.....injury in TC but if you go watch practice since mid season....is fine...and if one of Osh's Boi's would be on roster....other players have played that could barely walk let alone run....guy is hardly a lost cause...You dont just toss away Canadian guys who can start or contribute in rotation and excel on teams for no reason other than an "injury" Just look at what we did with Patrice Rene....had an injury riddled rookie yr here...went on to B.C and has played 16...17 and 13 games so far this yr.....always up there with league leaders in ST tackles (right up our alley) and is more than useful in defensive reps...

some guys get how to coach and call blitzes and pressure. and when to use specific rushes. he was the finest i’ve ever seen at that. he could take any one fast and make use of them. He wasn’t big on delegation or making him self expendable though. thorpe is a good one. stubler was such a mad scientist at dc.

Seems like if your a vet, OShea will let you play when you think you're ready (even when the team shouldn't allow it) if your new to the team then he's gonna wait til he has to put them in

Elbow Much like Parker 2 yrs ago...was ready and coulda played a month before he actually got to...and he was not impressed but didnt rock the boat Osh does it his way...and its far from the best or ideal

Yeah, Rust's defenses in Montreal were stout.

I'm a software engineer and I help build aerospace tools, and the hardest part of my job is not coding or technical crap, it's all communications and learning. I have to learn enough about my customers' disciplines so that I can build software that's useful to them. Def no choice but to get out in the field and learn what they do by seeing it directly. It's never boring. be interesting to fire up a careers thread and find out what everyone does/did for a living. yeah, I've known some brilliant people who are not doers. those guys are so frustrating to work with, they can turn anything into a quagmire. on the other hand, I've also worked with hi-energy idiots, people who might be smart and eager but who have zero judgment -- those guys are dangerous. as in all things, you gotta walk the line.

Figures Drew will be safe with our pass rush

Sentence structure is helpful to be able to function in society at a basic level. So is learning math. For that matter, so is learning punctuation. As well, if its lacking people may make assumptions about one's intellect, although sometimes one's comments reveal a lot about that.

Demski should be the front runner for league MOC.... He's been incredible.

And we are SOOO close to that.

mmm getting warmer, some of my earlier ‘work’ in the industry involved vhs tapes and dvd’s . . .

no, it does not.... prime Willie and Jeffcoat would've feasted on that...

I hate the long winded responses here that go on foreveer with no paragraphs. So much fun to read. I can live with grammatical & spelling errors unless they're so bad that they can't spell cat or dog.

I remember when I was 55, I started to get comments from my wife who was 47 at the time (it seemed) after everything I said. She'd say, "You told me that already THREE times". It got very frustrating. I thought I was losing my mind. Now, she does it to me & I get to pay her back saying, "You already told me THREE times!!" Feels good. Lol.

ah, from your handle I figured you were in a cover band that does blues versions of Minor Threat and Black Flag songs.

I remember in 2016, TSN 1290 was speculating that if the Bombers had lost to Edmonton to go to 1-5 that MOS and KW might be let go. Nichols saved some jobs.

First of all which high school was it AND really what you're witnessing in our games now, is the same school stuff he employed only at a lower standard

Here's hoping the headings for the 2025/2026 NHL season 20 games in read 'What's wrong with the Knights, Panthers, Wild and Maple Leafs?'.

yeah....would be....Puts more of a face so to speak behind the username Was interesting just hearing of some here...and some of the ages!

At 79, I am afraid to go into antique stores for fear they may not let me leave. And I get annoyed when they change the supermarket layout. Damned kids.
