  1. Is it Time to quit "Dissing" Chris Jones

    He did bring over the veteran coaching staff some of who had less experience than Bellefool and Etch who have been around for years.  By the way, O'shea is the one who chose to bring those two in just as he chose to bring in Hall.  Jones also had 0 experience as a GM and has managed to restock the cupboards in 2 off-seasons.  As for playing fast and loose with the rules, I would suggest all teams bend the rules.  It is only to what degree that each team does that is the question.   

     

    Bringing in Trestman and Popp does not cancel out the shitshow that was the Argos off-season.  They barely had time to prepare being brought in as late as they were.  Wasn't Popp regarded as a failure around here not too long ago because of the lack of talent he brought to Montreal in recent years?  And now, he provides Toronto with a distinct advantage? OK...

     

    The bombers did decide to groom a GM and HC indeed.  The reasons behind it are a subject to debate, in particular with Walters who has hired on a permanent basis after the "extensive search" in the 2013 off-season.  So far, it has yet to pay off after nearly 4 years and suspect depth at many positions.  We will see what happens in the playoffs, but if the Bombers are one and done, I suspect both Walters and O'Shea will have to make the Divisional Finals in 2018 at a bare minimum (whether that be by finishing first or winning in the division semi-final) to keep their jobs.

    I absolutely agree with you - totally different situations.

    Care to elaborate?  Jones came into a situation just as bad if not worse than Walter/O'Shea.  Aging team with no Canadian depth.

    Trestman and Popp came on very late in the off-season in Toronto.  Remember how long it took ownership to fire Jim Barker.  The new manager and coach barely had any time to prepare for the draft and recruitment.  All the other teams had a head start.  

    Jones has experience as a defensive coordinator and  head coach.  Jones transplanted a championship coaching staff fresh off a grey cup win to asskachewan. He played fast and loose with the rooster rules and brought in questionable characters.

    Trestman, nfl experience as OC, headcoach experience, has a hall of fame qb that is still playing at a high level. Has popp who is awesome at bringinh in talent.

    The Bombers went the route of grooming a HC and GM. Osh had bellefueille and etch.

    GM/Coaches like Chris Jones and Trestman and Popp are proving it doesn't take 3 years to rebuild a team into playoff or even Grey Cup contender.  Jones accomplished this feat in 1.5 years while Trestman and Popp appear to have accomplished this in a half year in Toronto.

    The loss is bad, but worse is the dirty play that BC got away with in this game.

    This referee team needs to be let go.

    Fired.

    The brutal hits they let BC get away with, are inexcusable. 

    Dirtiest game of the year, and the refs can't see it, right in front of them. 

    someone is going to get permanently injured letting this stuff go. 

    Goodbye to this crew.

    No ****- anyone knew there would be that stuff going on, given the circumstance. I though the ref crew would call the penalties tight in the begining to set the tone.

    Why was it so warm in 1875 and 1958? I will give you a hint ITCZ.

    Cool! So how about Oct 2017 in Winnipeg?  Come- regale me with your musing on science! I NEED to hear what Anthony Watts' thoughts are on the matter! I mean surely a blog run by a veteran meteorologist of 25 years has the inside track that scientists have missed.

    FFS- talking to you is like talking to the rapper B.O.B. about the shape of the Earth. You know- I am sure he would like your support:

    Not sure if we talked about it in this thread, but has anyone watched The Good Place on Netflix?  We just finished the last episode of season one.  Really enjoyed it.

    Saw a Vince Vaughn movie last night on Bittorrentflix :) called Brawl in Cell Block 99 and if you like violence this makes The Punisher : War Zone look PG13.

    Now this violence you speak of... is it more like The Raid 2 or more fight club?

    If it's neither Vader or Palpatine it might be talking about Kylo at the jedi temple before he went all homicidal

    Or... he could be talking about himself when he tapped into the dark side when he defeated Darth Vader.

    Correlation does not imply causation, any scientist will tell you that, and even the climate modellers will tell that predicting weather outside of 10 days is near impossible, predicting climate change is the butterfly effect.  

    The irony of you trotting out scientists to prove your point that science is wrong- amazing...
