THIS I believe.

Love this! Makes the 1 hour drive in with the youngins a little more palatable.

I think Jay Detain has more career receptions than both Jade Etienne and Addison Richards and would be a welcome addition to our beleaguered depth at Canadian WR.

I, for one, found the closed captioning edit from Rory Kohlert to Rory Dough Alert added some much needed levity while watching Calgary destroy us back in 2015.

Would love to see either of Brooks or Nevis here. Westerman - XX - Nevis/Brooks - Okpalaugo would be real swell.

I can see it both ways TBH. Willy was coming off a serious injury and MOS wanted to give him every opportunity to shake it off and get right and when it became apparent to him (maybe it was already apparent to others not as close to the situation) that Nichols was the best option the rest of the way he made the switch. Personally, I wanted him to make the switch earlier but my guess is that once he made the change at QB he wasn't going back unless Nichols really **** the bed so he wanted to make damn sure that Willy was broken beyond repair before sitting him down. You can call it loyalty or stubbornness if you want but I do think there was some rhyme to his reasoning. MOS can be loyal to a fault but I think that the switches he made this year are showing that as he grows into his role as head coach he has to start making decisions that benefit the entire team and not worry about his personal relationships with each player.

Coombs also would have a first hand look at what Andre Durie's role was and that is what he should try to emulate. Durie was never a staring RB but he was versatile enough that you could play him anywhere. He would be a great fit behind Harris and could morph into that hybrid RB/SB like Durie,

Everyone said MOS was too attached to Willy until he wasn't. He may be loyal but I don't think if there was a viable option at QB he wouldn't pull the trigger.

If the Jackson for Ottawa is Ernest, for the love of Stegall sign him now!

100%. Not to mention it would be tough to negotiate extensions for players etc. without a coach signed on. If MOS were not retained, this would have an effect on a players decision as well.

Calgary

Didn't O'Shea also say something to this effect when talking about Bellefueille last season and then fire him anyways? I wouldn't put any stock into what he says about his staff for next year, with the exception of Lapo.

Would be nice to see Adams, Bass, Burnett, Denmark, Nichols, Rempel and Cummings back. Depending on what else they do at QB, we could do a lot worse than Glenn as a backup if Nichols is the starter next year.

This thread is 3 weeks too early

Unless he wants to leave there is 0 chance MOS isn't re-signed.

This would be the inaugural "Around the League playoffs" thread that the Bombers are participating in in MBB history. Let's get it boys!

It's neat that for the first time in a long while, the last game of the regular season isn't the last game of the season period.

Medlock, Loffler and Leggett all have legit shots at winning their awards. If Harris had stayed healthy he would have a shot at the MOC too.

I would hope that after the effort on Saturday that they would show some emotion and try to get back on track before the playoffs, so the QB on the other side should be irrelevant (to them). As fans, we tend to get ahead of ourselves whenever a backup starts or comes in, but you never know what can happen especially with these young QB's. As Bomber fans we've seen Willy, Lulay and even Rocky freakin' Butler come in as unknowns and beat us so they shouldn't be feeling fat and sassy with a newb under center.

Offensive play calling was off all game. On the first drive, Harris rips his first carry off for 12 yards then we don't go back to him and end up throwing a red zone INT, but ran two goofy reverses/sweeps. Seemed like any time we were moving the ball effectively, it was when Harris was involved on the drive consistently which was not nearly enough.

So he WILL be on a short leash then?

Turnover on CFL rosters is normal, but this type of total rebuild is uncommon - and can be attributed to consistent turnover in the front office.

I don't know why everyone is upset, it's a perfectly cromulent word.

Exactly. Not hard to see how many more opportunities to engage in self-destructive behavior present themselves when you are a professional athlete/actor etc. making 6 figures.

I don't know how anyone can see year 1 of the MOS/Walters regime as a failure. It was a complete and total rebuild, what do you expect? Year 2 was disappointing in the sense that the W's weren't there but an average kicker probably gets us at least 2 more wins. This year they started slow and made multiple personnel changes and have gone 9-2 since. This speaks to the tremendous depth that we have procured in the past 3 years. Winnipeg is starting to become more of a desirable landing spot for FA's and MOS/Walters are key reasons why. Lock 'em up.
