Ok--everyone remove Tom Higgins from your brain.
He is not a good coach.

While I feel sorry for Zack, Austin was tempting the devil for weeks by keeping him him in games they were well ahead in. Now Matthews has to get up to speed real fast or they risk fading out of GC contention. I feel for the back-ups there.

Someone should tell that moron Pedersen that he's the Ravens OC. It's just more bs from Pedersen

I'm handing in my season tickets if I have to suffer with Taman or Higgins as the GM.

Just say no to Taman.

I've got to admit, maybe its apathy from such a bad season, but this doesn't really make me more excited about the roster. Defense isn't our main issue, and if we're going to keep playing 4-3 fronts then I would imagine Hurl stays there. Most likely Wild takes away snaps from Simmons.
 
We seem to be doing a good job of fortifying a position that's low on the priority list, is basically what I'm saying.

It's a NINE team league. Teams are very transient. The idea you need a 5 year plan in the CFL to turn things around is absurd. MOS and Walters are flat lining, if not going backwards. There's dozens of examples demonstrating that you dont need to give every regime 3 years minimum to prove they can do it. Either you make good choices at hiring and signing or you don't. This crew of losers have proved they cant. Move on.

Has our Cdn content really improved?  Chungh is 'decent' but Goossen can't seem to break through.  Neufeld is very average.  No other option than Picard...
Kohlert, JFG and Bastien are not striking fear into any D.
Pontbriand, Cronk, Rempel... ugh.
Too much faith in Morgan, Waggoner, Briggs? 
 
Walters had a chance to bring in Glenn or to find a solid backup - went with Brohm and Marve
We all saw that there were problems with Bellefuile's offence last year... Walters stuck with status quo
Very thin at import receiver and import running back...  these are relatively easy positions to scout
 
Lin-J Shell, Walker, Kuale, Korey Banks... weak.  Do his big name signings outweigh the stinkers?  I'd say its even.
 
Edit:  Oh man, I forgot Romby, Aaron Kelly, Donovan Alexander...
 
League's garbage heap right there

What Semi-finals?

Bombers will gladly release him from his contract to save paying him out after he's fired.  Go use your CIS knowledge there.

Good riddance Mack Junior!

Not that different and for some money isn't everything? I would take less money if my chances of getting my name etched on the GC was better.

Stala and Austin are both jerks. That being said a coach/GM/ VP shouldn't do what he did no matter who it was. Because Austin is more than a coach the fine should have been higher.

Out of curiosity, for the people who are OK with Austin's behaviour... would you be as accepting if the situation was reversed (ie Stala intentionally going after Austin)?  People have brought up Stala's reputation as a loudmouth but Austin has a rep of being an @sshole (and this just adds to it) so is he fair game for players now too?
 
Personally, I don't think coaches/players should ever come into contact like that... if the coach has a problem, get a player to send a message.

Clearly not the trained monkeys running the team right now.
 
"It was the best of times... it was the blurst of times?!!"

Everyone assumes these experienced coaches would want to come here buy I think it's obvious they don't because of the lack of stability. Was rumored we wanted to interview millanovich when we hired lapo but he said no thanks. Instead of pretending that these guys would come here and crapping on the people in charge, ask yourself why they won't come here. I give you a hint. .. it's because we fire coaches and gms every 2 years. Those experienced coaches won't come here until our perception changes

Lol. Me thinks you doth protest too much. If calling you strange for continuing to talk about somehing youve given up caring about is too much for you... Maybe the internet is too much for you..
Lighten up. I dont give a **** about your opinion on the team and coaches nor do i want to try and sway you because you clearly do not want to debate, you simply want to belittle and slam. Thats fine, you do you..
But damned if im not going to point out the hilarious irony of your comments in here. "Grr i hate this team! I could care less what happens!... But still feel the need to rant about it and how i dont care!"

Well if it isn't Mr. Superfan out with the insults again. If you put half as much effort into providing clear evidence of why we should all be wrapping Walters and co with fuzzy rainbows and worshipping the hallowed ground they walk on perhaps you wouldn't feel the need too resort to your infantile and petty name calling.Perhaps you should put down your Walter pin-ups, take off those blue coloured glasses, and realistically assess the job your hero has done.
Walters was brought in as some ST genius and his STs were at best mediocre. He was supposed to be some sort of Canadian talent genius yet Winnipeg has been unable to significantly do ANYTHING in that regard for his entire time here. He wasn't even able to do better when that big scary Joe Mack was gone. He has no clue on American talent and brings in a couple of guys that ... surprise ... failed to improve our American talent. This from a country where good ballers apparently are in excess. Coaching. Fail. Improvement. Fail. So we brought this guy in and he has failed to first improve our STs, then was pretty much gutless or useless as an assistant GM, and is now failing on all counts as a full GM.
Am I jumping the gun? Nope, Edmonton and Ottawa have both been as bad or worse and shown significant improvement while Winnipeg continues to spin their wheels.
I will ride out the rest of this lousy season but I expect the Bombers to be dead last and the for the prices that we have to pay now and all the driving and time off work I have to take it just may not be worth it any more. I can watch the game at home and save a bunch of money, time, and grief. It tears me up but it is even more embrassing and frustrating to sit and watch a team I love suck harder that a hooker.

I GOT the message. Believe me, I did. This clown show will be allowed to continue because they need more time. Well, I'm a fan so I'll just have to put up with it. I have no control over what the Bombers do. Doesn't mean I have to like it. But I'll still be there for this team no matter what (sigh). Just get numb after awhile as reality stares me in the face. I was 35 years old the last time the Bombers won a Grey Cup. Most of  you guys have never experienced the thrill of a championship run which is a real shame. It's awesome. It's special & something you never forget as a fan. I just hope I live long enough to experience my favourite team win another. If they do, I'll never take it for granted. Ever. 

Yeah well if "little" Wade is all mad and whatnot then there is a real simple cure. Put a winning team on the field. So far he and his crew haven't shown me they are capable of doing that. This is the CFL in the 2000's Wade building a team means you get progressively better not fundamentally worse. All I have seen from you is you improving your wardrobe from that money (of mine which I do not have to give you I might add and have to ask why I do give it to you when you basically field a collosially unentertaining team on the field).
 
Thank your monkey Gary he pretty much just gave me the motivation NOT to renew next year.
