TBURGESS

You guys have no faith. In fact I said "Frederick with a pick for the win" as soon as he caught it.

Yup.... Me.

Dare I say Bennie Thompson like?

I like what Reilly did last week. I want my QB to get in the faces of the OL when they allow the same stunt to get to him twice for big hits. I want my QB to get mad when he's taking punishment.

Love Frederick's game last night, but my shout out goes to Loffler. Big hits all night and he kept Bowman from catching at least 2 deep balls.

A win this week bought O'Shea time. At least until we've played Regina twice.

One of the 3 stars should be given to the O line. They opened up some big holes for Harris, got to the second level and mostly protected Nichols.

We owned the LOS on both sides of the ball tonight.

Either that or none of them were worth developing, which is likely the case considering Kevin Glenn was the only QB we let go who went on to any CFL success.

With the 3 stooges in charge, you might just get your wish.

Joe Mack didn't hire Mike Kelly. Kelly was hired by Bauer in 2009. Mack was given the GM spot in 2010.

Wally may be cheap, but he did make Harris a very good offer. We basically matched it and Harris came home. Harris is giving it everything he's got. He's breaking tackles and making people miss. The problem is, he's having to do that in the backfield too often.

Yes, but it won't happen. No team wants Willy @ $411K.

Bowman

Drew being pulled was something that needed to happen, but I don't think it means we are done with Willy yet. He may even end up playing some in Edmonton if Nichols can't get the job done.

Reinebold's a good special teams coach. That's about it.

If Bomber management still thinks that O'Shea is part of the solution instead of part of the problem, then they need to be replaced too.

Every time the Bombers talked in the off season they brought up the fact that Willy was injured and that we were in every game without him and no, I didn't and don't agree with it. There were way too many other problems last year to put it all on losing Willy. If a win in '07 mean no Mike Kelly, then it might still have some validity now, but folks would still be pissed that we look like we're not going to make th playoffs for the 3rd year in a row under the Miller/Walters/O'Shea regime.

Folks are mad that we're in a 26 year slump but, having won a GC back in '01 or '07 wouldn't have anything to do with this year or last or even the one before that. Folks are rightfully mad that we suck yet again after 'winning' free agency yet again and signing the most expensive OC in the league. We were told over and over in the off season that the reason we were so bad last year was because our starting QB went down early last year. Turns out that's yet another load of manure as we are replacing Willy this week with 2 wins out of 7 starts Nichols. Looks like a ton of other changes this week and we're most likely to be 1-5 at this time next week. If you think the calls for O'Shea's head are getting loud now, just wait for next week.

Masoli had a record setting second half against Edmonton. No surprise that he's getting a lot of kudos around here. He's only had 1 and a half good games this year, but that's 1 and a half more than Willy has.

All off season the Bombers were selling the idea that we lost so many games because Willy went down early. If we'd only have had Willy last year, they'd say, we would have made the playoffs. 5 Weeks in, Willy is demoted to promote old 2 wins in 7 tries, Nichols, who according to the idea they were selling hard in the off season, wasn't good enough to get us into the playoffs last year. Yup, that ought to save us.

I've been calling for a change at HC. I doubt changing to Nichols will accomplish much of anything. I don't think he's a starter or even an upgrade over Willy. I SUSPECT this isn't O'Shea's call either. It's more likely IMO that it's Walters/Miller's way of making a big change without canning O'Shea outright.

Congrats to the Bombers. No one will ever be able to call you cheap again, now that we've got the most expensive backup QB in the league. BTW: I hope Nichols does well against Edmonton as we have to put up more than 30 points to beat them.

Hold the team accountable for their failures. Stop buying tickets. Stop buying merchandise. Stop supporting the failures. Start demanding a turnaround. Start by firing O'Shea if he loses to Edmonton.

Sadly, Lawless might be right. The team is so dysfunctional that they aren't even thinking about making a coaching change. We're 1-4. We haven't won 2 in a row or put up more than 30 points in 2 years, but there're not even thinking of making changes. (Where's the facepalm emoji?) Interesting that it was 90% no last week and It's 50% no right now.
