Its fair to call most of us diehards. 19 and 21 were great. 22 and 23 hurt because we were so close to getting another cup or two. Many of us remember most if not all of the 29 year drought and 01 and 07 still hurt. To me that's where the frustrating we're expressing is coming from. At least that's how I feel and I imagine many of you feel the same.

If it weren’t for my kid, me too. 
 
I’ve gotten better but my weekends (and more) went as the Bombers did for much longer than I’d care to admit. 
Even then, dammed if 22 and 23 didn’t hurt just as much as 2001 and 2007 did. 
Quite honestly lot of the mean stuff I say about the team in-game is just residual heartbreak from us getting robbed of the true dynasty I’d been waiting and hoping my entire life for. 
 

I don’t think anyone is happy about this. I also don’t know what has been posted that would ever give you an inkling anyone feels this way.
It’s funny you say that though, because I view it as quite the opposite. The warning signs for this were present long before this season and anyone who suggested that in the past couple years was made fun of, told they didn’t know what they were talking about, shouted down (“3 in a row! 4 in a row!”) and told they were too negative. Now look.
I’m clearly one of the more outspoken people who has frustrations with what’s going on right now and if you think I’m happy about it, you’re dead wrong. Past two games have ruined my weekends.

I not happy about losing either...im not happy as to how and why...and been sounding the alarm since late 2022....and as @Mike said was mocked...said was arrogant...mr knows it all...yadda yadda yadda ...when all I was saying from being in the room...playing thru this kind of stuff...experience in the game a Lil more involved than John Q Public....that if you didn't look at the forest thru the trees...and if things weren't changed and addressed...in a yr or so we are gonna be scuffling and in a serious situation of implosion...and it was easily avoidable...and here we are just over a yr later...2 failed ends of the season, a pretty concerning start to season with serious roster issues...etc etc...hate to say I told you so...but I told you so

Adam’s and woods are strong candidates along with a de, but we are married to Jake. 

There was a sequence where I thought I saw Fox bang up his arm/hand badly on a helmet.  Was holding his arm and maybe had one or two more plays then was out of the game.
What are Upshaw and Tre Thomas up to and would they come back.
Need a DL and like Karamoko but omg he got way too many snaps the other night.

Didn’t hear one way or another how bad Fox injury was, or even see what happened. 

If he’s out long term, a 30 front of Willie/Woods/Adams wouldn’t be bad in itself but they’d still have to bring someone in. 

Yeah, JY uses a lot of 30 front.
I actually like a lot of the looks on D, even if it’s by necessity due to injuries/personnel 

When they’ve blitzed it’s (so far) been less telegraphed than under Hall. 
Granted the lack of Offence, rookies gelling, injuries, I have no major beef with the defensive performance overall.
Room for improvement but the amount of points they’ve given up is more than good enough to win games with even borderline competent O and ST. 

Yeeeep. But they might delay it. Adam’s is being used soo much as an end and we use the 30 front more than the 40. 
It’s not a bunch is the problem. Dobson is a mauler. Eli, wallace but he’s raw. Neuf is toast. We could put out a killer road grading interior if we wanted. 

We have Woods and rookie Canadian DE Huebert left on the pr for DL reinforcements. Walters needs to bring in a few guys asap.

You need to stop whatever you’re doing right now and apologize to Osh. 

2001 was such a fun year.

Too many choices......

MacSymic, Brent Monson, Calvillo are probably the next crop of assistants to get HC interviews. 

Jordan Younger too if the D does well enough this year. 
 
To be clear though I think firing a coach midseason is almost always foolish, I’m strictly talking next year if things continue to go bad.  
 
 

I'd never want it mid season....no point.....and no need for it to be a huge do to even this yr...unless he refuses to change things and evolve....and crapspirals in the same way it has been...then def those talks need to be had
 

The oline played like gravy seals 

I see it as the C being the main weakness too. 

Everything in football starts from the middle, and I’ve just seen dude knocked on his ass so many times in so many games when the other linemen were getting it done. 

 I just can’t see how a proper center wouldn’t make the line look 100x better. 

I don’t think the casuals have it figured out yet, but if/when they come out like this against the Lions, oh man..
BC and Sask get the drinking crowd more riled up and the stadium can get ugly quick when we lose to them. 
 
 

Worthy is ....well, worthy of a shot (sorry about that one) AND Oakman is out there....Considering the injuries we're experiencing on the D line I wonder if we will give either guy a call......................................not likely, most likely

Couture really stung, but to be frank, ELI would be better if we actually started him. Desjarlais is one of my favorite linemen. Soo damn talented, nasty, and young. Money wise, I don't think you could keep the core of guys like schoen BO etc with that fat contract. Ideally, I would have kept desjarlais and built around him. Losing brown is worse imo. We can find canadian guards. Finding qbs like that is damn hard. He's making like 270k a year, as a guard. You just can't make that work long term. I'd a paid 200-maybe 225. But damn near 300k for a guard? Nah. Not even him. 

Wallace flashed really well in the first pre season game, idk if he’s ready or not. Certainly wouldn’t be the worst ol or rookie ol forced into action. I’d be ok if we stuck Vanterpool at guard even. Ol needs shaking up that’s for sure. 

Nailed it. 

Nailed it. 

Maybe because I saw it live but to me it was the 2022 loss in Hamilton. 
He got absolutely destroyed like 5 times that game. The first time as a Bomber that he got just beat to ****.
He was a little awry for the rest of 22. 
23, I don’t think it was the BC game. He bounced back nicely and shredded them a few weeks later. 
To me, it was getting demolished by Ceresna in the Edmonton game, he was never quite as sharp afterward. 

These things compound. Especially a QB with a history of head injuries, those incidents must add up to his comfort level in the pocket. 

I think that was a big step backwards moment for him for sure. I think the gc loss to the argos started it
