I’ll guess Jake is paying the team to play.

He was still working and involved remotely actually...had input and interaction...just wasn't here

Hiring these coaches with no prior head coaching experience... That has to stop. A guy like Mark Killam rose to the level of STC & then stayed there for 20 years in Calgary being passed over for HC jobs year after year. There was good reason for that as he's not qualified to be a HC. Instead, strangely the Elks hired him (probably as he came cheap) & now he's enrolled his qb in the Edmonton Elks Quarterback Academy... where improvement is more important than wins. Where, "We almost won" is considered a moral victory. Meanwhile, the team expects fans to shell out money for a qb in Tre Ford who can make some great plays with his legs & arm (at times). Just not when he has to, to win a game. While the Elks say "Improvement!!, the fans in Edmonton on social media are saying, "Why should I spend my money on this ****??" As well as, "Same old, same old!" I can see the Elks going 4-14 this season missing the playoffs due to the stupid philosophy of the team. 
The ratio & putting Canadians on the OL. 

I'm just so glad that Buck is gone. Let him stunt Nathan Rourke's growth as a qb. 
Cough, cough... Ever thought it was the QB Coach & OC whose now in BC? 

Jackson was one the bigger signings in off-season in my opinion...glad he here

Shove this win up your ass, Jamie Nye

Peterson has had a nice 4th quarter

Peterson going Brady. 

lol 8 years now  without a loss to Edmonton. 

Winnipeg Blue Bombers 47. Edmonchuk 2. 

OK, so we’re agreed that his skills are diminished. And, it would appear he needs quite a bit of help just to be more than meh, let alone “lethal”.
I think that his own diminishment is by far the biggest factor in his struggles and that the o-line was definitely good enough yesterday for a good quarterback to be successful. And he was…on one drive.
After that, not so much.
The bombers need a plan, immediate and mid to longer term, that takes their starter’s diminished skills into account. Maybe they have one. But if the best predictor of future behaviour is past behavior, the bombers’ plan is likely to ride this veteran way too long (exhibit a: see one Adam Bighill).

Well, he’s definitely not getting better! He’s seven years on the wrong side of 30. His arm strength and escapability have both diminished, even considerably.
And Osh will ride him to the bitter end.
Strev, 7 yrs younger, was light years better last week.

I'd rather not mess with an oline that played so well. Rather keep my oline intact and lose a back up defensive player who mainly plays teams.

Yeah, I wish we had a quotable coach like Mike Kelly.  Mark my words, no one will ever name a podcast after a Mike O'Shea quote.

Why couldn't this ******* floor drop out sayyyyyyyyyyyy in last years Grey Cup?!?!?

He had 8 REALLY good games 3 years ago and he has been riding that in the CFL ever since.

Rourke might have Winnipegitis and not start.
 

What do you do for a living?

I’m going to try this answer out next time someone asks me this question instead of my usual answer that I’m in the adult entertainment business. 

Just because it gives you the warm & fuzzies to think the Bomber organization is always a united front. doesn't mean it is. Like any organization there's arguments & disagreements. If these run deep then people get fired or leave. You may be right which is why I said I accepted your explanation but to think that there's no pressure from Wade Miller down to Mike O'Shea to win is also naive. Especially if Miller sees something he doesn't like. He'd make his feelings known as he's the Boss. As in a way too easy training camp resulting in a 2-6 start last season. 

I bet they have some heated discussions. I don’t know Osh but I’ve been around Miller a decent amount. If he has something to say he’ll say it with no concern for your feelings.

BTW...Wade Miller is the boss here...and everyone from the ball boy to walters follows whatever he says
Its hilarious to think otherwise.. obviously some people have no idea of how internal structure works

Well he is the best player in the CFL, duh.
