I’ve said this before but I don’t recall seeing a network blatantly disfavour any sports team during a good run as much as TSN does the Bombers, especially since Cuthbert left. I’ll never forget the sadness in Rod Smith’s voice at the end of the 2021 cup. When Calgary was on top, they were all over them with awe and hyperbole, same with Montreal before that, and BC in the early-mod 2000s. I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees it.

Augustine is a better returner than anything Mitchell showed. I hope Smith hung around though, they need an actual returner.

I think the D will get better, and they were good enough to win the game with any kind of offence. If they focus on running the ball until Zack possibly gets it together( debatable if that will even happen) they can still win games.

I’d rather listen to that than another call from “Gail”

I feel like they’ll turn it around this season, at least somewhat but I’m pretty sure they’ll get porked again in Ottawa too. The first 3-4 games are gonna be ugly imo. I’m afraid for next year is what I am. This all hinges on Strev, or someone else long-term now.

No, you weren’t due, you’ve had enough. We’re still relatively wayyyy behind in the **** sandwich/steak dinner scale as Bomber fans.

Oh sorry, I had seasons in 2013 and 2015 so point remains lol

And I’ll give him due credit for that. No one likes admitting they didn’t do a good job.

Doug Brown is the only media guy in town who doesn’t fluff away questions or give easy outs. I wish he hosted the coaches show.

Osh “I misjudged our readiness”

1. Collaros. They messed up and it could cost us the whole run. Should have kept the guy they developed. That’s why you develop them ffs. 2. Mitchell- In the vein of the great Kelvin McKnight, earned a job by doing absolutely nothing. 3. Osh- Team was 100% unprepared. Worst season opener of his coaching career by far. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve seen at least 5 games off the top of my head that were much worse. The 2009 banjo bowl for one.

My bad. Thinking of the GC still. I stand corrected for sure. Brady was fine. Well, I mean..he did.

I gotta say. I’m not sure how (correctly) pointing out that 4 GC appearances could and should have been 4 wins if not for blatantly stupid coaching decisions is “nothing but shitting on the team” Booch and Mike (and to an extent myself and others) were right. Don’t want to be, but it is what it is.

If (EDIT *when*) Dru Brown outplays Collaros next week…Christ man

BuT ZaCk hAs a BiG cOnTrAct, and they won cups 5 years ago so they have to keep him forever.

It’s not because they lost one game. It’s the pattern, and the fact that this all happened in slow motion and was soooo correctable

Doug Brown might. I doubt we’d get any kind of answer though.

Rod Smith thought his boner from the Grey cup might go down tonight, but no such luck.

I didn’t know that. Thanks. I almost made a post I’d have regretted.

They won’t. They’ll trot out Cadwallader to play WIL first.

He gets TV time because he has a nice smile, but he’s always come across to me as kind of a dildo.

I’m just irritated right now, but Brady’s on the shitlist tonight too. Hold on to the bloody football.

I said it after the Grey Cup and I got eye roll reacts all over the place.

I’d agree. They need someone to be a prick right now. Wade and or Walters should be ripping into everybody.

I bet it takes until week 9 to see that, at least.
