I want to see Alexander slice up the Riders, while shouting 6 7 and doing the marbles dance.

Help us Nathan Rourke, you're our only hope.

Oh, I'm fine with MOS back if he fires Hogan and gets a real OC and he starts saying bye bye to the aging vets. I get frustrated by him but appreciate the 9 straight 10+win seasons, 2 cup wins etc. Honestly a little worried about who we would replace him with. Yeah so basically I just want Miller to kick MOS and KW in the ass, light a fire and then improvements.

I'm going with my heart on this one instead of my head. My head says Alexander coming up lame in the ESF is probably going to mean a 5th stripe. My heart says F**k the Riders.

Hard to call the Bombers a dynasty when there is a good chance Toronto and Montreal both end up with the same amount of cups in the same time period. What a missed opportunity. We should have had 4.

I was looking at the 2021 CFL all stars. The Bombers dominated the west with 15 (4 this year for comparison) and the thing that is really crazy is we had 6 out of the 9 available spots on the O-Line and D-Line, and not a single player this year in either of those positions btw, it all starts with the complete overhaul in the trenches, to me there’s not a single starter that should feel 100 percent safe on both sides of the line except in my opinion Cam Lawson.

Hey we all have our quirks.

Doubling ticket sales is always good.

Yeah this hot take needed its own thread…

So who do we think Hogan will pick as his assistants? I am betting on Thomas for DC in a dual role.

If you look back, they used to make more changes to the line up. It has become more stagnant in recent years.

In a way I think Hamilton/Bo levi fell into the Lawler trap, hes so good the qb focuses in on him and becomes almost one dimensional. Lawler had more targeted receptions and yards than White, Bridges and Smith combined. Those receivers are too good not to be utilized more

One team in the visitors room and one team in the Bisons room. Nobody should be in ours.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

Yeah but Davis Alexander is easily a bigger douchebag than BLM....

I don’t necessarily think that’s entirely fair to say. It’s going to be a long road back personnel wise before any coach (O’Shea included) has success here. Despite what O’Shea thinks, we need a total overhaul. The roster is ancient and being held together with duct tape and chewed gum.

I wish the club was proactive and we knew who would be running the show next year.

I'm not 100% opposed to OSH returning if he can show that he can make changes needed. If he can't recognize that Hogan was a mistake and wants to keep continuity there, then I think OSH should be shown the door. Hamilton's column in the Freep today talked about why he didn't think OSH would go to Toronto. Basically saying that OSH wouldn't want to be in an environment where he had to make lots of changes and couldn't keep with continuity. Good description of OSH but also good reasons why we need to move on here.

If they run it back with Hogan, they won't be getting my season ticket dollars. I'm a diehard fan so, of course, I'll watch them and cheer and jeer from my big-assed recliner but that's it! Some interesting management/coaching scenarios have been discussed here. With both Walters and O'Shea without contracts and the situation in Toronto, it will be interesting times watching things unfold. There's a rumor (and I stress RUMOR) out there that Walters and O'Shea are no longer seeing eye to eye. Could it be because Walters has brought in some decent players who have been cut or have not been given adequate chances to prove themselves on the field? Anyway, if football is like most professional sports, the coach will be let go first. (Most managers get at least two coach misses before they're shown the door.)

I think the issue is that we are going on 3 years of waiting for O'Shea to correct his mistakes and it feels like he is doubling down on them instead. I'm perfectly ok with giving him more time with us, but I'm heavily skeptical because we have trended downwards over this time with no signs of change.

Berger is a former radio reporter who covered the Argos as sideline reporter about 30 years ago, and spent most of his career on the Leafs beat. He now works -- I'm not kidding -- at a funeral service, and often makes seemingly-in the-know predictions on social media. His track record for accuracy is not stellar. He's kind of Marty York Lite -- no longer working in the media but still wanting to seem connected.

Let's go Coach Buck and "Unexpected Detours".... Whatever it takes to keep our city from being overrun by green this next week...

Osh as a g.m woukd drag us back to the depths of reinbold...Mack...hell to the no

Yes I agree that Oshea's roster management is his worst quality so let's promote him to the job of managing the roster in the offseason too.

Wow I read that differently the first glance...

Yeah should give a chance to someone new like Jeff Reinebold or Tim Burke.

"Something might happen. Or it might not!"

It's true, he would try out more guys mid-season, was more willing to give up on favorites who didn't perform, and he didn't just tie canadians down to STs roles. I'd add as well that he used to coach to win, would whip out a few smart trick plays through out the year, and would challenge more. Even if the challenge was to back up a player, or to make the refs look at a problematic area they weren't calling, even if it wouldn't be over turned. At each step, success has made him softer.

Another tight race again that came down the end. It's a nice way to end an otherwise disappointing season! Thanks for running this every year Rich!

B.C. says

Congrats bigg jay, who is not just MBB champ but also outpredicted the best of cfl.ca (Steinberg at 56) and is currently tied with the best guy at 3downnation (Abbott)

Fitting that BC's D...worst in the league by a long shot...choked the game away. Harris threw 6 passes on the winning drive and not a single one was defended by BC. Duncan-Busby dropped one, the rest were pitch and catch all the way to the endzone.

And might I add as the resident toddler around these parts the difference between cheering for and pulling for. Much much different as in I will never cheer for any other team other than the Blue Bombers and the Jets but I may occasionally pull for another team based on how it may help our team and/or my different levels of love or hate for specific players, coaches, fans of other teams etc etc. Once again, thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

Isn't the goal to make someone want to come to Toronto? That would do the opposite.

Mos and Thomas are a 2 for 1 deal.... final offer

Even after witnessing Zach hit the goalposts last week, I still think moving them is going to be the biggest mistake. And most likely irreversible.

Both games today are old grizzled vet QB's vs young up and comers. Should be a lot of fun to watch.

In the CFL a full team can be fixed within 1 season. When a team lacks in only a few areas then it is much easier.

That's pretty much what most people here are saying. If MOS is not willing/able to make those much needed decisions, then like it or not, we need to part ways. If he can do that though, he should be brought back ang given an opportunity to right the ship. But I would be having that conversation before any extension is given.

I see nothing to suggest Hogan is going to improve and if you keep him, I bet Brady leaves and possibly others too.

IF.....Osh left, which I think is not likely, but hypothetically, JY as HC with Bowman as DC, Hall still advising defence asst. coaching, and Lapo as OC.....deep experience in Lapo and Hall up and comers in JY and Bowman.....possibly even AH as Rb and offensive asst. to work with Lapo again provided young new blood, and a connection to the young guys......other assistants stay.....Walters stays, and puts key focus on the lines..... Ok flame away..if you wish.....

Your mom! Sorry, I am in a mood today.

7th all time in wins, the most wins of any active HC. It's ridiculous to speak as if his entire tenure was a failure. A few seasons ago, it was all about the culture, and how we were retaining players because of O'Shea. And that players were signing for less because of O'Shea. If changes were made I'd be good with that, but the posts from people who were heaping praise about the culture a few years ago, are mind-numbing.

I'm biased but I'd love to bring Khari home

please please lol Tell me you got the scoop hahahaha

2 cups in 3 years, an Eastern Final and one non playoff year when they still competed on offense with Arbuckle having a career year and Henslow emerging as a stud. Missing the forest for the trees, Dude.

I agree with what you're saying but those same qualities that make him a great coach to play for are the very same qualities that can destroy the culture they've built if he's not mindful / refuses to adapt.

I think the scheme was fine, you just need the right guys up front to make it work. So this goes to who is responsible for that
