They’d be sub .500 without Alexander. Their D and special teams are not good. Their offense takes the life out of their opponents and can carry the rest of the team. Interesting comparison with the Bombers this week. Als pushed for 2 early TD’s. Bombers could have done the same and B.C. probably out of the game just like how Ottawa out of that game early.

Something tells me that since the last time “Joey Crawley” was mentioned was also by you, eight years ago in a post about memories from Ourbombers … I think it’s fair to suggest that what happened to Joey Crawley is he reincarnated on MorningBigBlue as a member named Blue in the loops

Which tells me some of the players have tuned him out....never a good sign for a head honcho....Showing little or no confidence in your players will do that.....The 2 field goals from the five yard line was the tip off

BC is only 2-5 because our right tackle was out and our defense can’t tackle.

We're only 4-4 because Ottawa's DB's can't catch, Toronto's FG kicker can't kick FG's and Calgary's DL was missing two starters.

Walters was much more focused on the draft in the mid teens when he first became GM as he knew that he had to replenish his Canadian content especially on both the lines. Starting there would be a start. Getting rid of aging players who can't contribute much anymore would be another good decision. Getting more aggressive in free agency like he was in 2015-19 would be another start. In other words, he needs to do his job a lot better. I'd have Walters replace Osh at the end of this season. The Bombers have millions in the bank. Pay him out.

Dru Brown, who was already physically ailing, made himself vulnerable in order to get close to a first down on the play where he got injured against BC. Say what you want about his play but I’m not going to question his determination or heart.

Montreal will beat us about 285 to 6.

Entertaining team certainly helps too. Entertaining and winning more important than the old name. Could you imagine a week with edmonton at home, ask at home, and wpg at home, with each drawing 30k+ fans? Just need bc to have a home game and put on a concert lol. Won’t happen this year, but if 3 teams are pulling 28-30k at home for the rest of the year that would be great for the league.

he’s saying mostly the same stuff as usual, but a bit more detail. He sounds more somber than usual, even after a bad loss. Maybe it is starting to sink in for him. The mafia are destroying what they worked soo hard to build in terms of “winnipeg football”, and it’s spreading to the point casual fans are flipping on them.

That's a pretty nice crowd in Edmonton in part to all the Riders fans invading.

This would have been a perfect opportunity to move on or atleast give a 1 year deal to prove he can make changes and turn the ship around. The fact the Riders won in our back yard and we as an organization was content on handing out 3 year extensions is concerning to me. We’ve really been seeking the decline since 2023 of this football team. Death of a thousand cuts.

He's been here going on 13 years. At some point, Osh needed to go a year ago. The message gets old & stale. .

Osh coached scared. There was good reason to be.

Reality of free agency is few impactful guys are available. Teams generally pay for the guys that are to keep them. There’s the guys going home and every so often someone like Lawler who priced himself right off his current team. The big failure here is we are not drafting or recruiting any real starting quality players let alone great ones over 3-4 years straight.

practices today are over glorified walk throughs. 4 in 5 days wouldn’t likely do much. We only get a couple extra practices a year with the cba. How we use them is more of an issue.

Watch how Montreal runs tunnel screens right up the middle of the field throwing to a guy who is running with a head of steam going vertically instead of firing screens out 30 yards across the field to a guy who is flat footed with the defense given all the time in the world to get out there to make the tackle or even make a play on the ball.

when we play Montreal I'm not going to bother watching, it will be like the watching the Seahawks play the Okanagan Sun. Kind of like what I'm watching right now with Ottawa.

MOS is way too fixated on days of practice, days between games for both his team and the next opponent. Once everyone's dressed and on the field it does not matter. Get back to 1-0 this week thinking.

On one hand you say part of the problem is MOS playing his old guys who can't get the job done anymore. On the other hand, you say you're going to lose the locker room if you cut and old guy who can't get the job done anymore. Face it, Stan isn't worth what we are paying him. He's taking up an import spot. He's taking up SMS. He's the poster boy for a MOS guy taking a spot because he used to be great.

Letting your left tackle whiff on almost every play and get your quarterbacks injured is not how you treat your team or fans, either. Offer him a coaching job.

x2 for Elliot. With a half decent team around him he could have been a star in this league.

I agree with a full gutting being inevitable now. They blew their chance to reload and keep it going with several years of mediocre-bad drafting and poor American scouting, exacerbated by extremely foolish roster building decisions. Hiring/keeping the wrong staff (McManus, Hogan, Condell, Younger) Letting the wrong staff depart (Penn, Bourgoin to name a couple) O’Shea can’t level up a team through coaching. If he doesn’t have all-star talent and great coordinators running the room he’s useless. FIFO doesn’t work when you’re fitting in to complacency and incompetency. At this point, everybody in charge has had a hand in buggering the whole thing up.

And BLM got hurt He played for cats. Went to nfl..anyone coulda signed him after he got cut

He sucked before he got handed an all cfl roster and some guys with blood and guts oozing from their pores Rode that self policing basically self coaching team to lil nubs..and then rode many of them even more basically looking back and figuring they would just be like they were..all while developing nobody..and missing out on prime free agents Now..has a few legit stars..but has no clue how to maximize them..no real handle on how to identify and maximize a roster..and based on week after week of same stuff..no clue what is going wrong..let alone fix it...personally I dont think he can coach himself out of a wet bag

The Trinity isn't a normal boss/employee relationship that we see in all other businesses. I mean, you can go to your boss's place for a bbq, go for a few bwers after work or out to dinner. As long as you produce, all is fine. However if you don't, the same boss who bought you a beer or paid for your dinner will put you out on the street without thinking about it twice because he has a boss he has to answer to. The bottom line is do your job, do it well & produce or be gone. There's no way that the Bomber organization is like that. We don't even know what the true relationship is between Miller, Walters & Osh. It certainly isn't like anywhere else. These guys are best buddies & obviously have each other's backs. Miller knew that giving Walters & Osh their 3 year deals wasn't the right thing to do but he still did it. I could have lived with two but not 3.

They might end TEs career before it starts at this rate.

Jay Walker. The one that got away.

We're onlyn4-4 because our DBS can't tackle and our receivers can't catch

Brian Not Yet amirite?

Brian Ah Yat!

A couple of months ago, I thought that Walters was salvageable, but he has let O'Shea get away with far too much for far too long. That he put Collaros back in the game with a mangled finger told me all that I needed to know- it was a replay of when Miller had to order O'Shea to bench Willy and put Collaros in when Willy was visibly cooked but O'Shea kept putting him out. O'Shea likely ended Willy's career and that to me is inexcusable.

I am a Dru Brown fan, but Bryant and Elsbury are going to end his career.

Robert Marve - if only he could have stayed healthy.

Do you really honestly believe that this team is operating at it's absolute best level based on the players that are here? Like everyone is maximizing their potential and this the is best they have?

i don't think anyone feels that flight attendants should only be paid the moment the wheels lift off the ground to the moment they touch down. That sucks & should be changed. Of course, the airlines will just pass on the increased costs to consumers.

The 2026 Blue Bombers just has such a 2012/13 Tim Burke kinda vibe to it. Like Burke, Osh has no answers. Condell is Marcel Bellefeuille 2.0.

Agreed. 2 practices in 5 days isn’t going to destroy them physically. A shorter week between 2 home games isn’t a huge deal.

I think it's becoming obvious that they have no idea how they got the top in the first place, and thus have no clue how to get back.

Why? Cut him.

Back when people couldn't stop beaming over how all these people wanted to come play for O'Shea I mentioned that back in the day kid's favourite teachers were the one's that demanded the least of them. That were the least likely to apply consequences for lack of ability/effort. Human nature, I guess...but it leads to what we're seeing now....a struggling team that few would want to come and play for because it's an obvious mess that shows no signs of being able to turn it around.

Perfect for hc then...but from my understanding the issues are gone now..and they won't demote JY

Here's his exact words on the first comment. "those big runs, especially near the end, we're just not where we're supposed to be and a combination, I imagine, of guys being tired near the end and also trying too hard, which is a bad combination" 2nd comment was more of a general statement. Towards the ends they talk about what's next and he says the players need to take care of their bodies/minds, come back from the bye ready to fix the mistakes and be firing on all cylinders. Very little accountability. https://youtu.be/OXWaYiK5Euo?si=xG9ILHUH0B3YupIE

Good to see! So it was more the product on the field and not the name change to the Elks.

Winning yes. Entertaining product tho also. I’ve never gone to games thinking if we don’t win I’m never coming again. The W isn’t guaranteed. An entertaining product worth the cost tho should be. Winnipeg currently isn’t getting that. Elks are.

https://3downnation.com/2026/07/31/edmonton-elks-open-upper-bowl-for-first-time-since-2023-over-30k-fans-expected-against-riders Good for the L's. Who would have thought a winning product attracts fans...

I can take a lot of crap going on with the club regarding execution and roster management.....what I can't abide with is seeing a club QUIT...Those last minutes of last nights fiaco showed we have a group of players who literally 'gave up'.....Having said that and witnessing it was an afront to every Bomber fan and it's supporters....Who wants to watch a bunch of quitters...This head coach has a huge problem if he can't inspire a team to play to the last whistle...The booing from the stands was warranted...they paid to watch that junk....Beaten by a bunch of newbies and first time starters is not only an insult to most fans but a total embarrassment ...There needs to be MAJOR changes or disaster at the gate will soon follow....Time for a rebuild and that's tough to say in the middle of a season

The biggest problem with this team now is the coaching full stop. I don't expect changes but none of them are doing their jobs well and that needs to change before anything gets better.

I wonder if he either wasn’t 100% or didn’t look good post injury. If he’s not physically toast i’d bring him into camp for a look. he’d be our 3rd best dt by a mile
