Not a huge Nichols fan but at least he can play. Definite upgrade. Esks really helping us out here.

No, sorry but you're completely wrong. If you bring in a player midseason and he is already better than the guy you've been developing, you obviously keep the new guy. And I really don't see how this can in any way be used as an indictment on Walters considering he brought in both Lewis and Longo. What if Longo gets on the roster and turns out to be the best RT we've played all year? You got it right in the first part of your post Jesse. This is just fans nitpicking. This kind of move happens on every team, year after year.

If the $$ are even close, I'd take the Stamps, Redblacks and Lions (Order of likelihood of getting a GC appearance, all are more likely to get playoff $) before I'd take Winnipeg if I were Lemon. That's weird I would have expected you to place Winnipeg at the top of the list.

The day we hire Tillman is the day I stop watching Bomber games. **** that guy, seriously.

I'd rather go 0-18 every year

Not a huge fan of this move but I do appreciate that we are not standing pat with the current roster.

You know what...the MB fan club is over there... ...go sit with them. Youtube super stars. That's the angry video game nerd on the left and Keith Apicary on the right. Both are far more successful than anyone the Bombers have employed this season.

Sask has the edge at QB tho, in my opinion, and that will be the difference.

For what, 62 yards? That's Justin Goltz bad. His numbers looked just like Justin Goltz's actually

Good candidates but far from being "can't miss" hires. Both would be first time head coaches and how many times have we seen great coordinators become awful head coaches??

Yikes so you wouldn't be happy with anyone but whom? Hufnagel, Milanovich, Austin or Chris Jones? Sorry but we're not getting those guys.

Best case scenario we go 3-4 in the next 7 games then Willy comes back for the last 2 and we go 2-0, to finish 8-10. Even that seems like a pipe dream, though.

Come on that was good stuff. Schultz: I'd pick this guy, Ivan Drago!! Panel: Uhh Schultzy don't you mean Dolph Lundgren??? Schultz: No!! Ivan Drago!!! Did you see how badly he beat Apollo Creed?? Panel: He killed him Schultzy!! Now that's good comedy!

I generally don't use savings accounts as I believe the interest isn't a good enough return. I prefer to go with a bit of a higher risk, higher reward method. Options trading is where its at if you've got the mind for it.

And now his ass is out the door.

Would you say that Kuale last year was held accountable for all of his selfish undisciplined penalties? How should I know? I'm not in the locker room. However you've made it clear that you believe the only way to hold a player accountable is to bash them in the media, sit them, or cut them. I disagree.

Wrong to whom? The fans? We can criticize all we want and have our reasons for doing so, but we aren't in any position to say his roster moves are wrong, or right.I don't think I know more about football than MOS but evaluation of performance isn't as hard as you make it out to be. He deserves to be questioned. Question O'Shea all you want. Evaluation of players doesn't start and stop with just what you've seen on TV and at the games. There's a lot you don't see, unless you're at every practice and in the meetings. I hate that rationale. It's apparent that O'Shea is stubborn, sticks with players far too long and has terrible roster management. There's a significant difference you need to learn when it comes to throwing players under the bus in the media and holding players accountable for their actions and play. Is cutting or sitting a player the only way to hold them accountable?

Sean Whyte. I don't get this move... I don't think it's good when an International is used as a kicker. Seems to be easier to pull off with 4 designated imports. I'm sure teams are pleased with Swayze Waters, Boris Bede and Richie Leone. The kicking game is so important, would you rather use a 4th DI on a kicker or a backup WR that sees 10 snaps per game? Hmmm...

Same goes for Waggoner, thought he would have worked his way into the lineup by now if he is the stud everyone hoped for. Waggoner has dressed every game this year... he just hasn't taken any defensive reps (that I can recall) Yah, that's what I mean. He seems to be on par with Newman and Sherman in terms of mostly playing S.T. Muamba didn't even take defensive reps in his first year until the final game of the season, not sure it's realistic to expect that much out of Waggoner.

Mulcair has promised a federal 15 dollar minimum wage. Am I crazy or does that seem like an awful idea????

He's all we got. What about Corey Lewis? Why even bother keeping him around if he can't start in a situation like this?

Didn't Neufeld break his thumb like 2 weeks ago? Is he going to be ok at right tackle?

Calgary doesn't seem to let 'personal conduct' get in the way of talent at the draft... D'Aguilar, Smith, Durant - these are top talents that fell to Calgary because of 'issues'... Huff is confident enough in his culture to draft these guys They have a pretty clear strategy - if there's a standout talent, trade up to go after him, other take BPA and gamble on BPA/NFL type in the third round or third pick I can't explain Ameet Pall of course, ha. Mack, I think, tried this strategy but just couldn't quite succeed D'Aguilar is nothing special. Not sure who smith is and Durant has done nothing so far. Should probably use better examples cuz really those are 3 special teams guys right now and that's about it. Their first picks for the last three years are Craighead, Lavertu, Lavoie - all those guys would be starting for the bombers right now Craighead and Lavoie are big time injury concerns and Lavertu went first overall so I can't hold that one against the Bombers.
