How attached is Khari Jones to coaching in BC? Have to think the possibility of bringing him back to OC in wpg should be on the table for next season...

Bombers give up good punt return to set Als up for 3.....
....shades of things to come....in spades....
O running 2 and outs...receivers not making plays....
Bucknor makes nice pick....Marshall fumbles it back......
Some of the Blue receivers looking kind of disinterested...
Sloppy patterns, alligator arms, lack of hustle...
D. Adams flat out drops TD pass in end zone.....
Nichols's passing much more erratic, today....
Slow wide snaps (again) from Picard.....
Montreal boning themselves with multiple penalties....
..only thing keeping Bombers in game....
Bomber 2 minute drill:
two and out on O.....then let special teams take over
..and let Logan return punt 75 yds for last minute TD
21-3...ensuing KO skips past 2 Bombers.... for another point....
Halftime: awaiting them adjustments....waiting, waiting, waiting.....
...95 yd return by Logan to open 2nd half....down to the 10
TD pass to SJ Green on next play 28-3
...ensuring 29 minutes of (you guessed it) good ole garbage time......
Montreal had 250 return yds...in just 31 minutes..
So who does Mike fire, this week?
Crompton drilled by Bass,...Hurl INT
...but Bomber O produces 5 yd loss...followed by sack.....
Blue have a 1st and 5, later..
....and STILL cant make a first down...
Useless gadget plays with Denmark, continue.....
#24 tippy toeing his way....up to the LOS....
At least Marshall is a pretty good RB....
...whenever our OC remembers to actually use him....
Nichols takes a pounding as game wears on.....
We still have the worst 2nd down/ redzone O packages
Bombers D playing tough right to the end....
...and deserved a far better fate...
...but hard to overcome Als... and our O and our ST's
Yes, the mantra is patience
Although this team..... is turning me into a patient
8 day prep....for crucial game....
....pretty hard to tell...really...
Just not ready for playoffs...nice grin, though...
Wade Miller quote in papers: "Bombers right on track"
....but he forgot to mention the ole oncoming train...
MOS says he will watch the film, then comment....
DOD says he will eye the glass, then drain it....

surprised that Austin didn't stick to him.

Shoosterfunk is my favourite word for today   

Yup. Great. The deck chairs look just fine in their new positions. We're just fine now. Just fine. Move along, nothing to see here. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain....

I prefer to look at every game as an opportunity for a win, whether I'm playing in it or watching it. I prefer not to take the defeatist attitude, but you and the OP, and a few others, are welcome to revel in it.
I'm fully aware of what has happened in the past, but you know what…I don't care about those games..in the past. Tomorrow's game brings the promise of change and a victory, by any means.
Am i setting myself up for disappointment? Possibly..but it doesn't matter, I'm a big boy..I can handle it.
 
Go Blue

Pull Willy for the 4th quarter sure, but pull him in the 3rd? No coach is going to do that.

This is something I'd like to see. CJOB is stale and Bob Irving, while he is a legend, is now past his best before date.  Bauming and the TSN 1290 crew would do a much better job. 

I highly doubt QBs throw 1000 passes per week.

Case in point, I pull into the Mr. Mike's in Chilliwack at 5:30 pm yesterday (7:30 pm Winnipeg time) to watch a bit of the game on the way home to Kelowna from Vancouver, and they have the stinking Blue Jay game on in the lounge.  So then I say "can you change it to the Lion's game please?" and the staff all look at me stunned, in that they not only don't know there is a game on, but have no clue who the Lions are.  Finally, they changed over a few TV's to TSN, (after I had to explain that I wanted the "CFL football" option that was coming up on the guide), to the complaints of some old fogies who were watching the Jays, to which I told them to stick it, as they still had plenty of TV's to watch their precious Jays.  Anyway, BC sucks.  That's my point.

While Pete Rose is in town he can teach Hajrullahu how to gamble. 

Bombers waste no time breaking their TD slump....
...as Willy bombs away to Denmark, 75 yd TD
Then Cotton and Stamp penalties set up another TD...
16-0 Blue..early.....with all the momentum....
Tipping point...Stoudermire runs backwards in a circle....
...and fumbles, to set up first Stamp TD
Bombers follow up with having a punt block for another TD
...lead and momentum long gone....
at the half: Bombers 16 - er, Bombers 16
Cornish complains to coaches...about his 4 carries in the half
Then proceeds to run about 70 yds in a 107 yd TD drive....
MLB is mostly MIA...
4 games in, you would think that Hurl ...would of made one big play...
Bomber DTs didn't help...still not getting enough there
D, Adams had his coming out party...with 80 yd TD
Demond Washington had a real strong game...
Bomber run game....mostly MIA
Canadian receivers....MIA
A few busts with Willy and the receivers....
Special teams were a travesty from start to finish:
...fumbled punt return....blocked punt for TD.....KO mishandled for single
....2 missed FGs, and a HUGE extra point missed (yet another)......
How can a MOS coached team be this bad on ST's?
Late showing of last minute rocky Bomber horror show......
...as Bombers waste time, then take a delay of game......
...to lose the down and chance to get closer for GW field goal
H then missed the 52 yarder..might of been improper hold...
Blue get the needed stop......
....but simply horrible punt return with 35 sec left.....
..as Stoudermire lets ball bounce, loses time running sideways...
...and loses yardage....
Willy promptly throws clinching INT...
Stamps had guys injured all over the place
....and a OL held together by chewing gum..
...and a passing attack, that struggles at times
Good teams take advantage of this.....
But Bombers just not good enough yet....
DOD just not enough gin yet

I didn't think he was dead until I saw it on TV. I have seen enough movies to be qualified to assess a dead man when I see one. There are hundreds, maybe even thousands, of doctors who will tell you that once you are dead you shouldn't play football anymore. When Paul Friesen writes this article about it later this week there will be a lot of todasos being handed out around here. I just can't believe that the training staff would ever allow a dead man to play again. His eyes were open....open for god's sakes and he was laying down. If that ain't dead, I don't know what dead is.

So this week we're just taking the word of the coach and players and doctors about which players are injured?  Just accepting their version of "the truth"?
 
Adams was dead on the field.  Dead.  Doug Brown saw it.  He sits further away from the field than I do, but he knows what happened.  If you don't believe they used a defibrillator on Adams to bring him back from the dead, Doug Brown has a bridge to sell you. The only reason they haven't said he was dead is because he was.  His eyes were open, just like a dead person.  He got hit in the chest.  That's where the heart is.  You can't get hit in the heart and not be dead.
 
It's like none of you care about the players.  If the coach allows Stoudamire to ever play football again, he's a monster.  You all are a bunch of monsters.

Perfectly articulated as always. I hope somebody is collecting these to put in a book someday.

Walters pulls a rabbit from his hat.

Guys got to remember a few things about Grigsby though. He was fighting through injuries during camp according to OShea... And he was also out of football for a while before he came up here. He's probably been rusty as well as trying to get into the kind of shape he was in during his pro day.
Looks like he got his speed back Thursday. He is bigger and stronger than Cotton, he just needs to use his body to its full potential.
