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.

Real conservatives should be Democrats anyway, what the usa needs is an honest to god left of centre party.

Why is the draft not as strong as it once was? We got depth on the OL, depth at receiver, enough Canadians scattered on the D, good special teams guys and he's sitting on 2 first round draft picks this year... Durant was a douchebag, not Walters fault, Bond hasn't been missed and neither has bowman or Heath. So what's the issue? I'd say it's premature because we're talking about this **** when we are sitting at .500 on the season after back to back double digit win seasons. Like seriously people this is insanity. Do we not remember how shitty it was going from Ritchie to Daley? Or Berry to Kelly? Hell even Lapo to Burke was a **** show. Don't **** with things now, it is the complete wrong time to do it.

You know I really get angry at these whackos who don't understand how economies work. There isn't some money fairy that gives governments money to fund their little pet social projects, and opposing a pipeline isn't just about keeping the oil and gas sector in this country at a disadvantage it says to anyone looking to invest in Canada for anything to not bother cause the courts might just stop everything anyway. Time to stop acting like a bunch of petulant children and starting working together as a country for a change.
