You didn't say it, you implied it which is the exact same thing. So no, MOS hasn't lost the room. I think we over estimated the talent this team has, especially at receiver. Darvin Adams is too inconsistent to be our #1 guy, would much rather that he was the #3 guy. Dressler is still a good player but he's old and getting hurt more so again, he should not be the only reliable guy we have out there. It's fallen apart without him. Bowman was a bust, Thompkins has shown some flashes but seems to never see the ball until it's too late, no idea why that is. The Canadians are good, but we are missing those receivers who really step up and consistently make plays for their qb.

When I think about the past couple seasons the D usually started out super slow and adjusted and the offense picked up the slack late, this year though seems the D is starting better but as the game goes on teams adjust to what they're doing and also adjust to stop the offense entirely. Is this the classic play to not lose Lapo and Hall and they can't handle having a lead? There's only been a couple games this year they haven't had a lead.

we can if you count playoffs.

Similar to pulling the goalie it's not all about the one position, it's also a good swift kick in the ass for the rest of the players to get their acts together. Nichols has been let down by the receivers a lot lately,yeah he's made some dumb dumb throws too, but really needs more help, perhaps Dressler is too much his crutch, but either way the receivers need to be better. Hell the first INT on labour day the receiver tipped it up for the DB to get it easily, if he doesn't tip it at least the db would have likely had to at least dive to make the pick.

So which coaches do we blame for all the blown leads this team has had? My gut tells me the coordinators are mostly responsible for that so Lapo, stop blowing things at half time.

well then I am sold...Let's just do that same thing.

mini donuts you say....

with as many games remaining against the Riders and Esks forget the crossover. Just get the offence figured out, win some games and make the playoffs in the west.

Well when a fan base only exists to have smoke blown up their asses anything that isn't smoke being pumped up there MUST be a grave insult.

Which is different from any regular day how?

Avoid turning the ball over and I don't see how the riders win. They are a team that needs points from their D to win games.

But the past is just that, the past. What happened 28 years or 20 years or 15 year or 10 years or even 5 years ago has no impact on the bombers right now. Focussing on when the last cup was and the firing at the first step backwards has led to more pain and suffering for this fanbase. It's useless to use 1990 as anything significant.

Because it has no bearing on anything right now.

It's not a 28 year slump. Forget about when they last won the grey cup and look at the big picture. It's a couple games of shitty play. This team can bounce back from that and it's not about winning the grey cup once, it's about building a foundation that leads to consistent results, and they are doing that.

Oh considering they have gone from a terrible team to a team where winning games is expected I would say they are able to identify what isn't working and make changes. The problem is we have a very impatient fan base here and a very patient coach. They make changes, just not at the rate fans want. So be patient. The sun will come up tomorrow regardless.

well the odds of going through an entire season without a slump are pretty miniscule, closest we've seen are the Stamps, and look how often they've slumped in the biggest game? Or all those years of Montreal winning a pile except for the cup. Just accept that in the CFL it is hard to be on top of your game the entire way through and just weather the slumps and trust that the people in charge will get it straightened away.

the wrong time to trend down it at the end of the season, not midway through. Bombers came out relatively strong, slumping at the moment, but plenty of time to get it sorted out before the important games happen. honestly this is probably the optimal time to slump if you have to have a slump. fix what's not working and be strong going into the playoffs.

The day that man retires will be a blow to the entire cfl.

They have given up more lately when the game plan has tried to go deep much more often than normal.

You hate one man more than you like the team. Think about that for a moment.

Pessimists always think they're realists, they aren't though, just biased in a different way

Don't mistake patience with unwillingness to change.

agreed, he only got them cause no one wanted to come here. I don't like Lapo and Hall cause they were training wheels coordinators. Couple former head coaches to try and help a still inexperienced head coach in O'Shea. Let's take those training wheels off and let him hire some people he really feels strongly about.

Because he's the best coach we've had since Dave Ritchie. Give him more time with new coordinators before we fire a guy like that.

a trick for the rider offense would be not sucking.
