Hey, Nichols. Pro Tip. If you do interviews after today say nothing this time, k?

If this team wants to go anywhere it needs better coaches and better players, what we have atm is .500 material.

Same old problems year after year....
- No halftime adjustments
- Sloppy tackling
- Offence stalls in second half
- Lapo can't convert in the red zone, Hall can't stop anyone in the redzone...
Hall sucks but this loss is on Nichols... absolutely.

No idea what the f*** has happened to Matt Nichols but it doesnt matter anymore. He plays scared, cant move the pocket, and cant hit receivers consistently. He's crippling the offense. The excuses are over. If the season is going to be salvaged, Steveler needs to be given a chance but MOS doesnt have the balls to do it. Nice job proving Rod Pederson right Nichols.

The whole team has to come out ready to play and keep playing the whole 60 minutes. If they get out in front, they need to keep piling it on.  To hell with laying back and protecting a lead.
Against Ottawa, they got punched in the mouth and never responded. This is going to be that type of game and the Bombers NEED to hit back or it’s going to be a very long afternoon.

Offense has to play from opening drive.  Take advantage of turnovers provided by defense and protect the ball.  Stay on the field, win field position.  No long lapses.  2nd and 3rd quarter tend to be where they fall apart.

Some sacrifices are necessary, and the Bombers look to be 50-50 about making the western playoffs right now anyways. Going into next season with a defence directed by Hall is unthinkable- except to O'Shea.

The problem is not just Hall, but the fact that O'Shea will not replace him. And now the offence has gone MIA.

He's had two DCs and two OCs, how many does he get?

He has not been better than Berry - yet. Yeah, he’s a nicer guy, but the results have been about the same. 

Because he's the best coach we've had since Dave Ritchie. Give him more time with new coordinators before we fire a guy like that. 

Remember that this Ottawa offence thrashed the Bomber defence. Goes to show you how bad Hall's defence is and also that Stubler is not senile just yet.

Nichols must be embarrassed watching raw rookie training camp cut Pipkin cut through the Ottawa D on the road like a hot knife through butter.  Could barely get a first down against them at home.

The Als proving the Bombers have the worst group of receivers in the CFL. 

this is spot on.... the D can only be expected to do so much, and when they're being trotted out there after only a few minutes of rest because of 'ANOTHER WINNIPEG.... 2 AND OUT!'  they're eventually going to wear down.   The secondary has been pretty bad, and I really think there needs to be a change in scheme if these 400+ yard games continue.   The Richie Hall bend but don't break seems to do okay when the D gets rest... but there's gotta be some tweaks they can make (possibly adding personel) to this secondary.  They're going to get torched the second half of the season with the QBs were going to be playing.

That’s a little backwards from reality.  The D has done a good job of getting off the field and even turning the ball over on the other teams side of the field in the first half of the last two games which were terrible losses.  Ottawa game fell apart late in the second quarter when offense continuously couldn’t get a first down and kept sending the D out and pretty much the same situation I’m Calgary just in the second half.  I mean both games they handed the offense the ball at basically midfield off a turnover, 8-7 game vs Ottawa, believe it was 9-3 in Calgary and out of those possessions we got a FG in Calgary.  Those need to be TDs if we expect to beat good teams.
The offense is barely moving and rarely scoring touchdowns until the game is over.  This game is offense, it’s basically illegal to play D outside of rushing the passer which is something our team is not very consistently good at, and even then you’re likely to take a penalty for how the QB gets tackled.  That win streak against the East was all D, Harris and Demski.

No he won't. Walters is weak, possibly the biggest problem the Bombers org has.
There is a reason he was also a big part of the Joe Mack era.
Miller is disingenuous from shaking fan's hands and promising a competitive product several years ago. He basically is a big liar, settling for Walters and O'Shea knowing that at best they are mediocre.
 

All he has ever been, and all he ever will be, is a game manager, who works best in an offence that doesn't throw anything over 10 yards.
Problem is that unless you have an outstanding defense like the Bombers did in the 80's or in 1990, you can't win in the modern CFL with just a running game and 3-yard curls.
 
Walters, OShea, and Lapo, are to blame for not recognizing this and making plans to compensate or working to put different talent on the field to be competitive.

Should, but this is Winnipeg, the mob has turned on Nichols there is no hope for him now. 

Good grief... it's all up like RF in here.
 
       
 
 
 
    
 
  
 
     
 
    
 
 

 
 
   
 
 
   
 
  

 

 
 
 
 
Holy smokes Guys, take a step back from the edge.
 

 
 
There are issues with this team and I totally understand people's frustrations, but let's not go full riderfans....
 
 

Naw we need a Benny Thompson back there if we hitting the time machine..and if we want a Canuck...gimme Flagl

Would like to bet that our D can hold this Sask offense......to less than 500 yds in offense.  Yet my house is staying put.

When Mike Kelly introduced the unproven......
Doesen't pay to go too far back, I suppose
 

I can see you point however there are times with the CEO does need to remind those below him about the overall goal etc. I think a gentle word would suffice however you may be correct and Walters is not qualified to do his job.

To beat a dead horse, if Miller has to tell Walters what to do about the coaching staff, then Walters is not qualified to do the job and should be fired.
