Rod Black

Hmm, let's review.
You argued that O'Shea should not have played Willy in the BC game (a game we won - probably because of Willy)
Then we play Hamilton and Willy gets injured anyways in a kind of freak play where he jumps, and lands awkwardly while being tackled.
It hasn't even been determined it's a related injury, just a related leg.
So, what would we have gained by sitting Willy out, to rest, in that game versus BC?
Oh yeah, a loss.

You'll find that that argument won't fly on this forum either.

Very compelling evidence to sack MB.

Lets look at Marcel's historical schemes and see where they ranked in the years he was an OC.
 
Sacks
 
His first 3 years as an OC in Saskatchewan (2003 - 2005) - His offence was the 2nd, 3rd, and 1st best at giving up the least amount of sacks (27,28,23)
 
2007 Montreal - Ranked last in the league (8th) with 68 sacks
 
2008 Hamilton - Ranked last in the league (8th) with 67 sacks
 
2014 Winnipeg - Ranked last in the league (9th) with 71 sacks
 
Passing
 
His first 3 years as an OC in Saskatchewan (2003 - 2005) - He was consistently in the bottom half of the league in passing (7th, 6th, and 8th with 4054, 4619, and 4229 yards)
 
2007 Montreal - Even with Calvillo he ranked 4th in the league in passing with 5044 yards
 
2008 Hamilton - Ranked last in the league (8th) with 4474 yards
 
2014 Winnipeg - Ranked 5th in the league with 4374 yards
 
Rushing
 
His first 3 years as an OC in Saskatchewan (2003 - 2005) - He was tops in the league in rushing each of those 3 years (2605, 2504, and 2436 yards)
 
2007 Montreal - Ranked 6th in the league with 1791 yards
 
2008 Hamilton - Ranked 1st in the league with 2532 yards
 
2014 Winnipeg - Ranked 8th in the league with 1513 yards
 
Points Scored
 
His first 3 years as an OC in Saskatchewan (2003 - 2005) - He was in the bottom half of the league in points scored all 3 years (4th, 4th, and 8th for 470, 444, and 379 points)
 
2007 Montreal - Ranked 7th in the league with 362 points
 
2008 Hamilton - Ranked 6th in the league with 408 points
 
2014 Winnipeg - Ranked 6th in the league with 397 points
 
Summary 
 
Other then his first 3 years in the league 10 - 15 years ago, his offence has consistently given up the most sacks in the league.
 
His passing offence has at best ranked in the middle of the league but that was with Calvillo at the helm, every other year has been pretty much bottom 3rd (or bottom half with Willy).
 
He has ranked 1st in rushing every year except with Montreal and Winnipeg
 
In points scored, his best seasons were 15 years ago when he was ranked about middle of the pack.  Every other year has been middle of the pack to bottom half of the league 
 
So in conclusion, Marcel is at best an average / middle of the pack OC whose offence seems to have more success with the run (except in Winnipeg).  His best passing years passing have been with Calvillo (4th best) and Willy (5th best)
 
Can't wait to see what Willy can do with a new offensive coordinator....

We know that Willy does not need surgery, so we are really looking at 6-12 weeks (the PCL injury is a 2-8 week recovery period). 
 
With Willy's amazing ability to heal fast, and the upcoming bye week, let's say best case scenario is he misses 4-5 games.  If we can get 2 wins during that period, we're still in it. 

They say that behind every cloud lurks a silver lining, so I guess we're about to find out if that's true.  As other posters have stated, this injury gives the team the opportunity to face reality and find out for certain if their backup QB of the future resides "in house" or whether they have to keep hunting.
 
The ideal setup for building a contender is to duplicate what Cgy. has done with Mitchell and Tate and there is no better time to get started on that plan then the present.  Willy is no longer a young buck so the Bombers have realistically 4-5 years to make runs for the Cup upon his back.  If they can sustain a solid one-two punch at QB within that time frame their chances of actually winning a G.C. will increase significantly IMO.
 
The spot light is now fixed upon Brohm and Marve to show all if they can rise to the challenge.  They both deserve a chance as does Davis and with first team reps. during practice they will finally be given a fair opportunity to perform.

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

I don't blame O'Shea for leaving Willy in. You can't honestly expect to wave the white flag with an entire half of football to go, that makes zero sense and it's a defeatist attitude.
 
That being said, the sooner Marcel is fired, the better. The talent may not be ideal up front, but his offense including the schemes' inability to actually provide even AVERAGE protection for our franchise player is NOT good enough and we need to find a replacement. Period.

We need to pray real hard that it is only one week plus a bye week.

Hurgle burgle raba bobo yamu bolish.

Sure. Insert Incoherent rambling here

We beat teams that we should be beating. We've only lost to teams that currently have winning records.
Friday night, this week, we should have an entertaining battle at IGF. You won't see it, but Miiler is a scary effen guy when angry. Kind of lighting a fire to resolve the deficiencies.
If Toronto gives away the game with penalties and we don't go there, essentially like a clean game today, we have a very good chance of a home win.
All bets are off though if Willy and Darvin Adams are not playing.

You could also argue that Rod lost the bet.

That was the game where some fans ran on the field and slid belly first on the puddles that formed on the field and sidelines.

I was just on the phone with a guy who played linebacker for the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1985, and he was telling me about a game in Winnipeg in 1985, August 8th to be exact, that he was playing in. The Bombers won it 58-15. He said the Roughies just got crushed, and the Bomber defence just destroyed them.
During the game, he said to the Ottawa defence in the huddle "hey at least it isn't raining" at which point the skies opened and lightning hit one of the goalposts, and the game had to be suspended, like the Argo-Hamilton game yesterday. Does anyone remember this game? I don't, because for some reason I am pretty sure I wasn't there, even though it would have been in the days when we had season tickets.
Anyway, pretty funny to hear first-hand what it was like playing against the Bombers in those days, and getting destroyed in our barn. He said every team feared playing Winnipeg at home in those days.

All of that AND a Bomber/football fan? You found the Great White Buffalo!

Hey guess what? You will be,lucky you

In our latter years we regret not so much what we did but what we had not the courage to do. Or, to put it another way, who we had not courage to do.

Lol Trish the dish. I know her. She's married to a friend of a friend lol.

My dad sands his deck every time...  it will look better but it's o so much work.  
 
I'd only do a clean sanding if you are changing the color of the stain... otherwise I'd pressure wash and maybe sand the spots that are rough. 

Heavily burdened by decades of failure in seducing any member of the cheer-leading squad and keeping her pom-poms as a trophy.  I know you can buy these things on E-Bay, but it's just not the same...

I regret not going to more Bomber games with my dad.  We had season tickets on the west side and most of the row we sat were made up of his buddies and the section was entirely old farts who didn't appreciate the enthusiasm of the "younger" fan.  So I would buy tickets on the east side with my friends.   
 
He never said anything but I'm sure he would have preferred that I sat with him.  I look back at it now and realize that I missed out on some premium father/son time. 
 
I can't apologize now because he's been gone for many years but if you guys have the chance.  Take your dad to a game.  I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
