The D is not 'folding' they are getting scorched in second half's because the opposition is making adjustments (when they aren't taking stupid undisciplined penalties). These are deeper rooted problems than just running out of gas.It has to be disheartening to a proud player who is giving his all on defence and who knows the game is winnable if only the fourletterwording offense could play even half-decent. I don't wonder at the frustration penalties.The offense gave them a 10 nothing lead to run with.The defence put the offence in position to score 7 of those points. The offence showed ZERO sign they were capable of sustaining any sort of drive from the second quarter on. It wasn't our defence putting the offence in a good spot. It was a huge error by the Riders offence that gave our offence a very short field.It was an error on SSKs part true .. without the recovery .. it's a punt and change in field position (albeit marginally with the wind) and again, you're relying on an inept offence to move the ball.The defence got pressure early in this game .. they WERE doing their part.

Have to agree with the poster who suggested that there would be a riot (or simply a bleakness that overcomes the fan base) if MB was to be promoted to HC. It will never happen. I like and respect O'Shea. I believe players respond to him. That said, his downfall will be in hiring a weak staff. They corrected the problem on the defensive side of the ball this year in hiring Hall. That unit has gotten steadily better but you can see the frustration growing there. Yet, the O goes two and out after two and out with seemingly little accountability .. that's tough to swallow and I don't think O'Shea will get to correct that mistake. I have a lot of thoughts about the org as a whole but am just on my phone right now .. maybe if I actually care enough when I get to a computer. I'll put them down.

@Wpg_BlueBombers 2m2 minutes ago #Bombers release QB Tyler Russell, running back Tyler Thomas.

Verbal agreement with Lemon ,, probably just waiting until the I's are dotted and T's crossed.

It's more shot put type action rather than an actual throw ..

... FFS ...

Does he start next game? Is Brohm shown the door to make room? I'll say this .. if I have to watch Brohm one hop passes again I'll be terribly .. terribly disappointed. To that Mike said:"Out of my cold dead hands". Great move for free. How did Walters do that? HAHA Riders... You lose again. Really wanted to say .. "Lose my ****" but being a mod .. took the high road this time .. can't guarantee I'll be as composed if I actually have to watch that waste take the field again.

Make that trade all day .. every day .. 7th round pick is essentially a throw away ..

@ArashMadani Per #CFL sources: Matt Nichols to the Blue Bombers. In exchange the Eskimos get a conditional seventh round pick in 2017.

Just saw that .. well .. can't say this crew is standing pat.

Trading draft picks for talent and leaving a team cap strapped and devoid of talent three years down the road?

No .. MB was with the Nighthawks (Omaha of the UFL) when Walker came into the league in 2012

@bendersun Just wondering: Will Taman become next #bombers GM. I don't know if he's serious .. or trolling per usual (I generally find Bender to be one of the most uninformed twits on twitter) .. but please for the love of all that's holy .. just say no to Taman back in Winnipeg .. let's just remove that possibility from our minds ..

Price of buying a Grey Cup a few years ago.

What a colossal waste of a roster spot ..

In a league starved for NI talent, you could probably get an asset in return if the team decided to go that route..

Might not be as open and shut as that .. LOL Oops. It's all good .. just couldn't resist.

Might not be as open and shut as that ..

Phil Hunt? I didn't realize he was still kicking around... good for him... He's only 29 years old. He was cut. He'd be an interesting pick up. He spent last year out of football before signing on with the Lions this off season. I wonder if he's ready for a CFL comeback. Coming off an ACL injury, bouncing from the Eagles, the Colts and now the Lions .. he may not be the same player he was when he left .. Shawn Lemon also just got released by the 49ers. He's someone the organization may want to touch base with. His acl injury was two years ago when he was with the eagles. I doubt that's an issue at this point. But no, there's no guarantee he's anything close to what he was when he left. I know when the injury was .. just noting it along with how he's bounced around .. which may be an indicator of the miles catching up to him .. can't honestly say I've watched him with his time with the Colts or the Lions ..

I'd be pissed too getting pulled like that .. he made a mistake while under a great deal of pressure .. happens to the best quarterbacks from time to time .. but he was one of the few Rider players playing with any sense of urgency. What a gong show.

Not disagreeing with this at all .. wasn't the best draft class all around .. but given that we didn't hit on a single player (outside Fitzgerald who played a handful of snaps for us) .. it's particularly painful.

And the hits keep coming ... @murraylp Chris Getzlaf just helped off field with left leg injury. Not a good sign.
