The fact that no one has figured out that I'm actually Sam Katz is hilarious to me

As others have said, going to credit @JuranBoldenRules as saying it first, we're built to win games 23-18, while others teams are built to win by scoring 30+. Hard to win that way.

We score 51 and turn the season around.

Yeah I was hinting at that too... If players can't execute the gameplan you got the wrong players for it so either change players or game plan... Or both

They'll watch the film. Get some rest and add another linebacker to the GDR.

No frigging changes. Not a single one. The insanity of this organization is totally unbelievable. Wade Miller should be ashamed. He gave this damned head coach a 3 year deal.

No it closed down years ago but he went out in typical Nate style: “Selling books in Winnipeg is like selling leprosy on The Shopping Channel.” 😂 Last Osborne Village Bookstore Set to Close | ChrisD.ca

For shits and giggles and the reminiscing of Nasty Nate in the other thread, I used MBB posting history and ChatGPT to get a Nate style commentary on the season to date. Enjoy folks, all meant for some levity in a frustrating to date season. THE 5–5 FOLLIES: MIKE O’SAME AND THE BLUE BOMBER MUSEUM Ladies, gentlemen, hobos, rounders and prairie plutzkies…your 2026 Winnipeg Blue Bombers are 5–5, which is a PERFECT record if the objective is to be neither good nor bad enough to force anybody in management to do something. These Bombers are a football slot machine. Pull the handle and maybe you get a half of competent football…maybe you get 377 rushing yards surrendered to B.C.…maybe you get a 16–0 lead in Edmonton followed by three points and 35 yards of offence in the second half. Nobody knows! Least of all the fellows being paid to know. After every fresh disaster, out strolls head coach Mike O’Same, president and founder of S.A.M.E.—Stand Around, Mutter Excuses. Mikey surveys the smoking crater and announces that the fellas simply needed to make two or three more plays. Brilliant! The Hindenburg merely needed a couple more buckets of water. Meanwhile general manager Kyle Waiters, also known as the Duke of Stand-Pat, watches every other CFL club bring in receivers, defensive backs and pass rushers while Winnipeg guards its practice roster like it contains the lost treasures of King Solomon. Weak receiver room? Wait. Confused secondary? Wait. Ancient offensive line creaking like a haunted hotel? WAIT HARDER. Eventually another team will accidentally release an all-star directly into Kyle’s office. Then we have offensive coordinator Tommy Con-Dull, architect of the CFL’s last-place red-zone operation. Give Brady O-FEED-ME-ra the football and he bulldozes Edmonton for more than 100 yards before halftime. Naturally, Con-Dull responds by hiding Brady in the second half like he owes the coaching staff money. Why use your best offensive player when you can have Zach Colla-Rust fling another hopeful balloon toward a receiver moving with the speed of a refrigerator being dragged through wet cement? On defence, coordinator Jordan Yawner has installed his famous Prevent-Us-From-Winning scheme. Rush three, rotate seventeen defenders, place the defensive backs somewhere near Brandon and graciously concede the seven-yard completion. The opposition needs eight yards? Give them twelve. Need to protect field-goal range? Back everybody onto Portage Avenue. Watching this defence communicate before the snap is like watching six tourists assemble furniture without the instructions. The crazy part is there are still some genuine ballplayers trapped inside this travelling carnival. Brady remains the engine. Trey Va-VOOM is one of the most dangerous returners in the country. Willie Sackerson and Jake Sack-resna can still wreck an offensive line. Nic Demski continues to fight. But individual talent cannot overcome an organization that treats adjustment like an admission of guilt. Now the 9–1 Montreal Alouettes come marching into town. Mike O’Same will tell us the room is confident. Kyle Waiters will continue waiting. Jordan Yawner will station the secondary in St. Boniface. Tommy Con-Dull will discover a new method of reaching the four-yard line and emerging with three points. The prescription is painfully simple: FEED BRADY until the other club proves it can stop him. Play the best players—not the fellows with the longest service pins. Attack on defence instead of operating a government-funded receiver-relocation program. Bring in actual competition before the season becomes an archaeological exhibit. If the same problems keep producing the same losses…CHANGE SOMETHING. The dynasty is gone, folks. What remains is a 5–5 club living off the fumes of what it used to be, driven by coaches who appear convinced that stubbornness is a substitute for adjustment. But don’t worry. Mike O’Same says they’re only a couple plays away. Prolly.

I am...Mike Oshea

I'M SPARTACUS

Such is politics.

If you've watched film for half the season and can't make it work then the answer is blindingly obvious... The players you have are physically incapable of executing the game plan.

dont think they actually see what the issues are, or have ability to change or fix it if they even did...They too hung up on their process and beliefs of the past...when we had a whole different team and makeup of players...Worked well with elite guys...in their prime...pretty much across the board Now we have a large group of the former...not in their prime...no longer elite, with a big group of neither prime or ever elite, with zero potential sprinkled on top...But we act and coach them (i use the word coach lightly as I see zero going on...especially in game) like the 2019 to 2022 teams who essentially self coached themselves and allowed their talents to take over and prevail. But now when we have to actually figure out a roster...utilize players to their best abilities in the proper positions, and then scheme and adapt in a game...game in and game out we have zero ability cause really...never really did it before Same can be said for the preparedness, or lack thereof...Osh relied on his room and players to police and do that..He even said so himself...and now thats not happening and well...we come outta the shoot too often to count like a team of newbies in their first pro game

I font think we were purposely built that way...just a sad reality of what we are

We increase the number of linebackers on the roster to 11.

Nothing

Didn't Nate end up banned from pretty much every CFL message board?

so no Nichols...Total missed opportunity. Texada should have been on already for Hazen, as he would do the same on roster on ST as that extra LB who will see no use on defence....But Texada will likely see extra db Reps as Vaval is getting the start And perfect chance to add Singer to take Nichols spot, and help on returns and offence...if anything to see where he is at vs the top team in league...Also if Vaval gets hurt on defence..then we have cut ourselves off at the knees with returner too...and we likely gonna need some big returns and field flipping ability...such a typical dumb Osh move with zero foresight and what if's leading up to a game

Nichols officially out, Texada in. Williams HB, Vaval CB

My feelings on this one He is now a Jets commodity to exchange for value, that's it, he's dead to me as a player. felt it building for a while even after signing that last contract, not surprising at all US/Canada relations and tensions have to be part of the equation. Hockey is unique in major sports in the amount of Canadian teams, Canadian markets and amount (%) of Canadian players. All Nations and the Olympics ramped up that competition and adversity There's some stuff that separates Helle from someone like KFC or other American players. KFC never went to the White House, never partied in Miami gone for days, but came back to his team. He wasn't used as a pawn with the whole "Medal of Freedom" BS I don't think Helle's ever even gotten. I don't think Helle ever had a feeling for the pulse of that and a lot of the fan base that supported the team. Couldn't or wouldn't "read the room" The NMC has to be addressed in order for hockey to remain viable. It's gonna turn into MLB, and that's killing US markets, where only certain teams have any hope in reality

Game Day last year vs this year

Yes they are in

The Als need a new stadium. Probably in the 30000 range for capacity. The French Canadian kids have really taken to football. It seems to be having a renaissance in Quebec . It blows in Alberta, Southern Ontario & Toronto. Toronto is a lost cause but crowds would come back in Ottawa & Hamilton with winning teams. The City of Calgary yesterday announced a feasibility study for a new football stadium. For us that want it to be a reality, that's huge considering a football stadium was never even talked about before. The Mayor, Jeromy Farkas was a Conservative financial Hawk when he was a City Councillor. He voted against any expenditure from new bridges to the arena now being built. He was dead set against any kind of new football stadium for Calgary ten years ago. Now, he's pushing for it as Mayor. Plus, it's ironic that he'll be cutting the ribbon to open the new arena for the Flames that he campaigned against & hated so much in about a year's time.

Nate has to be around my age which would be 70.

Franchise goalie ...we better get something substantial for him...I can see an American club going after Helle as it seems the destination for USA players lately and would fit Connor's wants...Have to be a Cup contender also....Message to Chevy.....hold out until the return is substantial..this club demands it or better

You realize that MBB is social media, right? And here you are. You make questionable comments here all the time. Like telling Booch to massage his cock when you disagreed with him. That seems very "Cesspooly" to me. Listen, I only know you here. Same with you knowing me. You're probably \a great guy away from the keyboard so as a person I won't judge you. However, on your keyboard when you post here you're more than prickly at times. I've learned over the years to take you with a grain of salt. I'm sure you do the same for me. We all talk ****. I do all the time & usually gewt it back twice as hard. That kind of reaction from what we post is inevitable. If you go on here, X, Facebook or Instagram there are a lot of upset Bomber fans not happy with the situation. I'd say out of the 30000 in attendance tonight, at least 20-25000 are on some form of social media.

Or the game plan/ scheme is garbage. Perhaps a combination of both.

And Bauer challenging him to show up at the stadium. His calls to Doug Brown's show were legendary.

Like what people? 5 of you online? I’m just curious what ppl you mean.

Osh doesn't care what people say. He needs an attitude adjustment, the Bombers have grown soft so nothing will happen.

Ppl talk about O’Shea and arrogance. RD is the definition.

Dinwiddie doesn't take responsibility at all. For anything.

'We took a step back today, for sure. Now it didn't help that (insert name of player or players) was playing/ got hurt and a couple of bad breaks here, a couple of calls that didn't go our way that really set the tone of this game but that's no excuse. Montreal was clearly the better team. Guys need to do some searching, there's going to be some tough conversations coming up. Next week will show us who we really are'.

They have it all planned out...

Might grind mud into it lol

I see it the other way but this is probably why i’m not a NHL GM. Chevy is in the drivers seat. Play Skinner et al till a suitable deal is presented to our GM even if the L’s accumulate quickly early in the season. Helle signed a contract with the Winnipeg Jets under no duress. He is obligated to fulfill the terms of that contract. If he is not willing to do that then he can stay at home till the contract runs its course or until the Jets can find a suitable tailor that fulfills our needs. If we trade him away under duress and don’t get fair value back that will be a big kick in the balls.

Could be ugly but I feel the bombers pull out the W for some odd reason. I expect 50 on our D tho. But I feel something weird happens and bombers win. Maybe Alexander gets hurt.

any one know what size clown shoes mos wears? unless mtl trap games the hell out of them self, we are in big trouble. I’m just hoping they don’t put up 60+ on us.

It’s about time Atlanta got a hockey team. I don’t know why no one tried it before.

Nate didn’t own a book store. Man that dude fooled some of you good. Nate is like a 350 pound computer nerd. He had the gift of gab and a voice made for radio. But wore sweatpants and a very large t shirt most days. I’d say he was obese.

We had 3 already. He wanted more.
