Osh was a nobody coach when hired...

You find a guy who has a brain and isnt limited in his capacity to use said brain..not a hard concept

I don't think G.M is an issue here and be fine with Walters back..but a definite line needs to be established as to who the boss is and we lost that deliniation several yrs ago and well the obvious result of that takes us to now

 

I think you nailed it w taking a chance on Khari… he was killing it in MTL before a lot of things out of his control went wrong.

If JY didn’t have so much potential, one guy I’d be really keen on hiring as a DC is John Bowman, he had that Calgary front playing at an insane level all season, regardless of who was on the DL.

Better question: how are they in first place?

Both games games against a Winnipeg could have easily been Bomber wins...the Als took note 

If Winnipeg went against Exume & Sapp they probably would’ve faired better like Montreal did.

Tevaughn Campbell would’ve been on Philpot duty today and likely held him down significantly better.

Thank you 17to85, very cool!

That's not even close to a fair equivalency and you know it.

No one in on the Bombers BOD or management calls The Labour Day Classic the "Banjo Bowl Preview Game"

 

I mean, obviously. I’m sure the higher ups on the Riders also call it the Banjo Bowl.

I do not, however, think it makes much sense to be okay with calling the LDC the “Banjo Bowl Preview” but be mad because Rider fans are calling the BB the “Labour Day rematch.”

Joke franchise. I've seen a bunch of stuff being posted by them being super fat and sassy. I had been showing far too much good will toward them in recent years... They're making me angry again. Realizing why I hate that province.

How is it any different than your request to have the Labour Day thread title changed to “Banjo Bowl Preview Game”

Sadly I’m not sure you can demand one be respected and not the other.

Adams was in lineup with Kramdi all yr....and was also in lineup when Griffin took over SAM...He has no bearing on either one of them

every backup I have pined for...Griffin...Allen...Woodbey...Person....J.Jones...has out performed every person they replaced, and gave more value...so yeah....maybe you should love them

 

I definitely remember you beating the Person drum for ages before he started and made an impact lol…

I’m actually surprised no one has tried to snag JJones, Adams, or Woods off the PR.

Possible 

 

Totally forgot about him kicking around out there...maybe he got glasses as his tracking on deep balls was an adventure 

He also had the Faj throwing him deep balls, so it’s tough to judge too harshly 😂

Always liked Swerve, had issues tracking the deep ball at times, but generally sure handed. 
 

He has a bit of tread on him, but he’d be similar to Sterns at this point in his career.

Both Riders losses have been to the Stamps who have beaten the Bombers three times too, atm they are the top dog in the CFL

Absolutely decimated us in the trenches both times we played them, story of both games.

Absurd how fast they rebuilt, twelve new starters on D.

Betts is such a clown.

I think Fajardo is a fine starter, but that’s where the line is.

He’ll win you the odd game, make some exciting plays here and there. A more talented version of Drew Tate.

I would reflect much more fondly on Faj if his attitude wasn’t so piss poor when things got tough. Never takes responsibility, points fingers, etc.

Looks like Fajardo drops his eyes when he sees pressure. Ol was overmatched, but some of the blame for those sacks is in him.

It was all too familiar. He drops so deep he gets himself into so much trouble.

As long as Rourke is playing against Edmonton he’s pretty good

Last year I honestly put that almost solely on Buck. They knew what didn't work against the argos and decided to try it anyway.

That and not pulling him when a piece of his finger was dangling off

If Schoen’s knee never fully heals, that’ll be one of the greatest questions of all time, what would have his production been if he played a fully healthy career.

An observation was made that Barron Miles is running a very unique D in Calgary that apparently no one is familiar with.

How true that is, I’m not sure, but it may account for (at least a portion) of how Calgary is finding so much success early.

…how is that a first down for Calgary

Kramdi and t.jones...can't cover

You nailed it on Tony Jones… he’s lost in coverage.

I was shocked to discover that VA hasn’t thrown a TD pass yet.

Not going to be any easier against WPG and no Begelton.

Kilam looked completely out of his element last week. Either that, or he absolutely despises Fajardo.

Ford going against the best secondary in the CFL might wind up a slaughter.

Toronto sent 11 guys out 😂
