yeah...no injuries...he wouldn't be playing...that's sad

they also seem disjointed or unable to shift gears on the fly...what they deem the ratio and the who where is carved in stone and if camp reveals they could goa different route and be actually better...they can't deviate, or just have no ability to. as well as several receivers in the draft too...We took none. I dont even count Daniels as a legit possibility to be a receiver this yr...if ever...so that pick as well where we took it was extremely short sighted...dare I say stupid

Kurleigh Gittens Jr & others were available in free agency but we never signed him or anyone else.

Honestly, the way we've drafted and recruited coupled with our roster management seems to indicate KW+MOS develop a basic plan but then don't take the time to do everything required to make it work. Example, they clearly decided to go 3 Nationals at WR but then signed one (Nield) and a project TE but didn't recruit further or during the season (Mayala for example) or attack the position in the draft.

hhaha...hope to hell not!! Too many times I had to get him home....But next day at practice you would never know...a quick cig...some greasy Mcdonalds breakfast and he was good...Oh what could have been if he gave a crap about the off-field stuff But he has shown clips and talked quite a bit about his days up here, so they well aware...That being said he is still quite reveared down there anyway from his days with the Hornets

Jake was an excellent role player. A career overachiever who was instrumental in some of our best DLs and Ds doing what they did. He ate a whole lot of $#*& so other guys could eat steak, so to speak. He was never a guy who should be taking 800 snaps a season, though. He should've packed it in 2 years earlier and should've been playing 200- 300-ish snaps a season before that. Going away from the IMP NT beside him was a huge mistake as well. He was already too late in his career to be the primary nose next to an IMP 3-tech. Going to the full NI DT spot made us even worse. Even with Cam, the 3rd guy was always so bad. We changed the philosophy to make Jake a starter, then a feature of the defence, and it made us worse continually. And still today, we don't carry an IMP nose, didnt bring any into camp, and only 1 imp DT 3tech.

well...He has coached youth in Sacremento area so that blows your statement all to ****

depends what u call success I guess...We didnt go to 7 straight west finals, so not sure where you grabbed that number...we went to 5....and last yr would have missed playoffs if ottawa and t,o didn't have 9 wins combined...That wasnt a successful yr...was a by default yr...and lucky for us Reg season wins are nice and all but is that really success?...We lost 3 straight grey cups...and each one was to a team with less wins, so I don't see the success like you, as we at same time obtained less wins along the way...to the point we were lucky to win 10 and got bounced 1st round in a cross over....again is that success?? Our success was 5..6 yrs ago now really....and hanging on to that gets you where we are now...needing a total overhaul almost

DT has a bee in his bonnet about a few weird things. There's no comparison to how many times NFL teams go for it on 4th and 1 to 2 vs CFL teams going for it almost 90% of the time, even on their own side of the field. 4th and 3 NFL is at less than 1/3 conversion attempts. CFL teams go for it way more on 3rd down. The most aggressive NFL team over the past 3 season averages less than 2 4th down conversion attempts per game. CFL teams have guys on their roster just to go for it on 3rd down. No NFL team is signing Tommy Stevens to do that job.

Who knows? They started hot last year and faded in August. BLM isn't a great QB at this stage.

That is very true. I wonder if that is a reason why the NFL seems to be evolving a bit more (play design/game management etc) than the CFL. DT often talks about how NFL teams go for it on 4th down way more often than CFL will go for it on 3rd. NFL also has evolved to a more pass centric league (though they did borrow from CFL).

Lawler has always been extremely streaky and fickle. We have drafted 3 WRs in the past 2 years, but all of them are TCF at best. Corcoran is the best of that bunch. 2 picks in the 6th and 1 in the 5th is generally as good as doing nothing, though. We could have drafted guys, though. We had opportunities. But even then, instead of coaching them up and leaning on guys like clercius and shay we let them linger in barely used roles. Even smith has been pushed into action not because he has excelled, which he has, but because of 2 injuries at his position.

Hard to say it was Kyle's plan if we didn't draft any Canadian receiver...you would think we would draft at least 2...and target more than No Touchdown Nield...no? And yeah good on a coach for talking to his players and getting a feel for how they doing with some support and encouragement...as he should...doesnt need flowers for doing his job show the math for 7 straight west finals....if you wanna give a solid argument...get facts right...nice picture you paint...but fail to acknowledge 4 successive declining yrs...dip in standings...and earlier playoff exit...Thats more pertinent to what happened in 2019 and 2021. I guess you are like Oshea...looking back instead of forward and actually preparing and transitioning properly toward it

Isn't an issue the fact that our three main receivers: Wilson, White and Demski are all similar players? I feel like @JuranBoldenRules , @wbbfan , @Booch and @GCn20 have all stated this.

Offence is 7th in net yards and points scored. Defence is 6th in net yards and points allowed. Mediocre all around and the record reflects it.

Bridges cut also. I might give him a look. He’s interesting. As he’s a bit different type of receiver than we have. Hell of a rookie season also.

Not going to argue the success of the CDN mafia..dont have to.

not sure what the comment is supposed to imply...But kind of an odd thing to say

That must require large amounts of rye, neat Legendary. That is all.

Fun fact through their teams first 3 games the Bombers had the TiCats beat in most offensive categories except points scored because the ticats were finishing drives with TDs at an astounding rate.

I would imagine the NFL uses analytics more than the CFL.

So current CFL Head Coaches HOF Career-MOS+DD Solid pro-Buck, Maas, Mace Fringe to so so career-Millanovich, Dinwiddie Not a pro-Killam and Miller The NFL is different. Most of the head coaches went into coaching very early.

but is he coaching them in night life stuff? LOL Coaching kids is a whole different thing. I like the fit for him though. I wonder if those kids know the incredible level of talent they are coached by. 100%. In football, it tends to be the fringe guys who have the incredible desire as well. That's why you see guys like Kingsbury, who was a very fringy pro, to guys like maccioca who was a fringe everything.

That tends to happen when ham and eggers are at QB

Miller has committed to the trinity whether u like it or not. You can scream how shitty you think MOS is. Those with the power to get rid of him extended him for 3 years. That's not a we want better contract, that's a we believe in your ability to turn it around contract...for both men. Who can blame Miller really? He was on the verge of firing one, or both men, but they did turn it around and gave Bomber fans a magic run of dominance. Walters and MOS are safe as can be for this and next season for sure. 7 straight WF..10 straight 10 win or more seasons..2 Grey Cups in a league with one year contracts is no fluke, or a lucky streak by clueless people and it is overwhelmingly ignorant for you to suggest that. You can criticize the work lately for sure, but give credit where credit is due. At one time the Canadian Mafia was the gold standard in this league and players played their asses off because every player in this league would trade places to be part of it. How that fell off, who knows, but both KW and MOS were at the top of the heap for many years.

it's funny how Lawler's season went into the toilet when BLM got hurt. Lawler is a guy who, at his best, makes QBs look good.... but apparently not with Dole / Ford / Frost.

Because if you don't ooze natural talent, you have to be a student of the game. You can't keep up if you don't.

Regardless of who was kept...who wasnt...comparing one guys stats on one team to another on this team (which also doesnt really tell the whole story) ...who's idea it was or who to blame for the 3 Canadian starters,,,which is most likely Osh's as no coach will want to have a GM telling you how it is gonna be on your roster...doesn't happen in a successful organization...and is kinda funny cause when all was good Osh got all the praise..was a genius..Long live Osh...true leader and reason for turn around...but when things have slid going 5 consecutive seasons now it's the G.M's fault...truly makes me laugh my fricken arse off... Fact of the matter we are bottom 3 in offensive points scored....basically dead last in offensive td's...1 up on Ottawa and 5 behind Ham who haven't really had a qb since week5...bottom 3 net offence...last in first downs....bottom 3 in avg yards per play...bottom 3 in passing yards...bottom 3 in completions...last in passing td's with 11 after 9 games...yikes!!...bottom 3 in efficiency..last in 30+yard completions...2nd last in % drives leading to a TD...Last in red zone TD's...last in red zone plays.. Basically all things that corroborate a poor receiving crew..good god I glad we have BO or we would truly be a worse embarrassment, and he's been misused as well.....we are in game 10 coming up and have did exactly nothing to try and fix it...absolutely zero...let alone make it better...How dumb does your staff truly need to be before its really too late??? If its not clear as day I'm not sure what would make it...even if you had a rinky dink setup like us you could survive by ball control and high time of possession, kind of use the minimal skillset/complimentry pieces you have to best ability and we don't even do that.. but we in bottom half of the league with T.O.P too!!....We aint doing crap this yr, and I will tell you why....Osh comment in that last article..."we are right where we need to be"...like really...Hate to be or seem like an Osh basher but if the glove fits...wear it...Guy is justa clueless idiot My analysis here is we got too comfortable with a heavy dose of complacency...it harbored believing in your own press clippings...then toss in a nice helping of laziness, and has a good sprinkling of cluelessness beyond belief....almost makes you wonder if this group was as good as people liked to claim...moreso caught lightning in a bottle and then just let it all fizzle away to a sparkler a kid would buy at a fireworks stand...and they dont know how to get out of it, as they realy had no clue how they achieved it I dont say the Trinity cause Miller has done and still is doing a bang up job...and his position isnt to meddle in the football ops part of it anyway...but I wouldnt be surprised if at somepoint he see's enough and has to

Great point. I was thinking about that, realistically if we had kept Wheatfall I can't imagine we wouldn've signed Nield. I would take nield between the two as well. Better fit and passport. Plus reliable. We are just using Nield really really poorly currently.

Thomas was useful in his day- not an all-star, and was kept after his best-before date due to O'Shea's biases. Whether he is a good coach has yet to be determined, but O'Shea's judgement in hiring positional coaches has hardly been good. I stand by opinion that this edition is worse than last year and needs a drastic overhaul.

it’s almost the greater a player you are the worse coach you are. Mj and soo many others. mostly it’s mediocre players and fringe guys who end up being great coaches.

Yup, it's very obvious that there's zero correlation between being a good player and being a good coach. Completely different skill sets.

If you were in charge Bud Grant would still be waiting for his shot.

Been meaning to drop this in here.... Best breakfast I had while home on holidays in July: The Park Cafe at Assiniboine Park. They actually bring you a mini carafe of coffee and leave it on the table. 10/10, no notes.
