    Penton & Bob Irving reporting O'Shea still favourite to be Bombers next head coach. I think he'd be perfect for the job. Glad Walters is pushing back on Khari. Hope Miller lets his GM do his job.

    This is complete and total speculation that it's Walters/O'Shea vs. Miller/Khari....ridiculous that we're treating it as fact.

     

    Well I'm glad you said it. Bugs me to no end that people are willing to treat this crap as fact. Isn't it funny how when it became apparent that Walters was the GM the rumours switched from Khari for HC to O'Shea for HC? Sounds to me like a lot of speculation prior to a GM being in place and once a GM was in place his choice is the front runner, is that not how it's supposed to be? But nooooooooo you all gotta be typical Bomber fans and run around like ******* talking about a conspiracy. 

     

     

    So are you going to also say the search for GM was thorough and transparent process or that maybe, just maybe it was a one-horse race since Miller got the chair?

     

    and that has what to do with this silly idea that miller and walters are butting heads on a head coach? Miller is the CEO he can hire whoever he wants as a GM

     

     

    The point is, maybe Miller hired -- and likely, only interviewed -- the guy he knew he could tell what to do. 

     

    I'm not buying that there's this big push back from Walters either. Frankly, I think Walters will do whatever the hell Wade tells him to do. 

     

     

    OK, so Miller hired a puppet, or he and Walters are butting heads. It can't be both.

    Burke throws Ford need the bus on the post game show it out mni

     

    I'm curious to hear more about this once you translate it back into English. ;)

     

     Stupid phone. I meant to say, Burke throws Ford under the bus after the game for the timecount, without mentioning that the coaches could have called a timeout if they were paying any attention at all. A coaches only job on gameday is to manage the game, and Burke is just terrible at it.

     

    Actually he couldn't call a time-out. There was a rule change for this season that a team can only call one time-out in the last 3 minutes of the 4th quarter. Burke had called a time-out with about 2 minutes left. It would have been a delay of game penalty if he had tried to call another time-out although that would have been better than a loss of down.

     

     

    We still had both our time outs.

  4. The fact that Goltz isn't doing short yardage is an absolute joke.

     

    Boltus looks like he's got concrete blocks for shoes when he's out there.

     

    I wonder if Burke has a reasonable explanation for this. I have been asking for weeks why Goltz isn't in for both short yardage and red zone situations. It is borderline ludicrous.

    im truly stunned that the concept of not caring, not watching, not paying attention are even being discussed, let alone acted upon.

    its the bombers for christ sakes, the reason for this forum.. shitty, embarrassing or horrendous to bare thru, its our football team we claim to be fans of and love so much..

    The fact that you say we "claim" to be fans implies that some of us are not meeting what your definition of a "fan" would be, which annoys me.

    Just because I'm not willing to let the Bombers run their team like garbage and be accepting of it does not make me any less of a fan.

    ok, lemme change the wording to devoted fan... better? thick and thin. i dont get how you guys can just walk away or turn it off..

     

     

    It is cute how you think apathy is something one chooses.

  6. I was telling people at work today the same thing. This is the first time since I started following the Bombers closely that I felt...nothing...while watching a game. I was so detached, I might as well have been watching baseball. I took the dog for a walk in the third quarter. I have done it before, but out of disgust or anger. This time? I literally even forgot the game was even still on.

     

    My wife always knows to stay away from me for days after a Bomber loss, but this week she knew she was safe. When I don't even care enough to be angry/disappointed, you know it is bad.

    Looks like it might have been Randle's choice to leave.

    Bradley Randle #38RB ‏@VIKINGS_Rebel 25m

    GOD & Family decision our choice. Doing what's best for My family. Always have faith.

    Bad sign that people get a whiff of this poo show and bolt. This season cannot end fast enough.

    not too swift on the uptake? he apparently has am NFL sniff and didnt want to commit to a 1 + 1 deal..

    Oh sorry I missed that. Other then it being mentioned in this thread. Which is of course the same as official confirmation.

    no but i would believe this could constitute offical enough eh?

    Darrin Bauming ‏@DarrinBauming 18m

    Tim Burke confirms #Bombers let running back Bradley Randle go because he still has NFL opportunities and didn't want to lock up a contract.

    sorry if it contradicts your "bombers are such a mess!" bashfest..

     

     

    The fact that this has already happened twice seems a bit...off, though.

    Oh and may I add that the man said they would spend less this year so they could make a big splash in free agency come 2014.

    Did he actually say that? He knows we can cut anyone we want in the offseason, right? That statement makes no sense.

     

     

    It makes quite a bit of sense actually, so I'm glad Walters/Mack put the team in this situation.

     

    Use the leftover $$$ on guys like Etienne, Alex Hall, etc and give them bonus dollars to count against 2013 cap. Free up as much 2014 cash as possible for a guy like Collaros or some OL

     

     

    Fair point, assuming those guys are willing to sign before the new CBA. All the more reason, then, to play guys like Pencer to develop them now. If we aren't spending for today, let's at least develop for tomorrow.

     

    Speaking of the CBA, some modified form of RFA would be welcomed, IMO. Too hard to develop through the draft when a guy can just leave after two years.

  10. Fans and objectivity are not synonymous. Hence the derivation of the term fan. Burke's argument was he had an ill prepared QB with just above zero playtime in the game with 25 sec. He made an objective decision. No one has commented on Burke's decision to play defence first in OT? A decision I am sure was also objective providing his QB more time to prepare. Perhaps the counter argument could easily be he should have rested and calmed the D after giving up the td for the tie. Isn't hindsight from an armchair wonderful.

    Which is precisely why guaranteeing overtime against a hot QB with all the momentum was the worst decision  he could have made,
