I  am instantly way more pissed off about our season

7th all time in wins, the most wins of any active HC. It's ridiculous to speak as if his entire tenure was a failure.
A few seasons ago, it was all about the culture, and how we were retaining players because of O'Shea. And that players were signing for less because of O'Shea. 
If changes were made I'd be good with that, but the posts from people who were heaping praise about the culture a few years ago, are mind-numbing.

FWIW, I emailed Wade Miller yesterday in response to the club's email to me about being part of the sold out season. I hemmed and hawed but finally hit "send" (could have been the second glass of wine with dinner.) It will be interesting whether I get a response.
Mr. Miller,
Now that this disappointing season, in my opinion, has ended for the Bombers, I feel that I must express my views on a number of issues:
Congratulations on the 14 straight sell-outs! As a partial season ticket holder (split two seats with two others) and also a casual ticket buyer, it felt good going to games that were sold out. The atmosphere was "electric" at times. However, based on what I saw on the field this year and to a lesser degree last year, I am considering not renewing my portion of those two season tickets.
The current staff's use of the league's roster rules is a bit baffling to me, for instance, continually dressing more than the minimum required Canadians. (There are a couple of roster spots currently occupied by, in my opinion, non-starter quality Canadians.) The lack of use of the "nationalized American" rule is also concerning. (There are several veteran Americans on the team who would qualify and who might be better used in this category.) I realize that this is the C(anadian)FL but make better use of the rules.
Head Coach O'Shea has made some odd roster choices throughout his tenure here. I first noticed it with his continual playing of Sam Hurl at MLB. Then it was the truly baffling decision to roster and keep trotting out the American, ex-Navy Seal, Damian Jackson. Truly bizarre, in my opinion. Currently, two players come to mind as starters who shouldn't be, Kolankowski at Centre and Thomas on the D-line. I've watched every Bomber game this season and the ineptitude of these two is quite evident. Surely, there are better players on the roster than those two veterans. Loyalty is fine to a degree but the coaching staff (Coach O'Shea?) is taking loyalty to another but detrimental level.
I was wary when Jason Hogan was announced as the new OC but, at the time, trusted that the Bombers' tall foreheads knew what they were doing. However, I'm extremely disappointed in Hogan, not so much that he was a "rookie" but, to my eye, because he didn't improve his plans and playcalling over the course of the season. It is my opinion that Hogan should be relieved of his duties.
I greatly appreciate what Collaros has done for the team signed he was signed. However, I (and a few others) have noticed a decline in his play that started at least a year ago. I don't understand why before this past season started, he was signed to a contract extension. To me, it would have made more sense to have him "show us" before the extension was offered.
The "elephant in the room" for me, and judging by letters to the editor and comments on online CFL and Bombers forums, many others (a majority of current CFL fans?) are the proposed rule and field dimension changes. No doubt tweaks to the rules are warranted. Getting rid of the single point for kicking or punting through the end zone and a few others I can live with. However, the dramatic changes to the dimensions of the field of play and moving the goal posts (literally) are a "no go" for me and many others. When was the last time that someone was injured by the post? Sure the odd football hits an upright as Collaros this past Saturday. As a teenager in the mid-1960s, I was at a playoff game where the Bombers beat the Roughriders because Ron Lancaster hit an upright when had Gord Barwell wide open for what would have been the game-winning TD. It's rare but it's part of the Canadian game.
The lack of prior consultation by the league with its stakeholders (i.e., the fans) was not a good move in my opinion. Perhaps, the league's brain trust thinks that the changes will bring in new fans? Perhaps but will that offset the potential loss of current fans (i.e., me). I have also read that the players and management were not even consulted. And what of Football Canada, U Sports and minor football in general? What are they to do and better still who will pay for it?
I will not comment on the league's (and pro sports in general) ever increasing "symbiosis" with the "gaming" industry other than that I abhor it.
Sincerely,

But these problems are one and the same.... guys with tenure never get challenged or replaced. We build the roster assuming they can still play the bulk of the snaps... it's the same problem! You're in until you're too hurt to play and even then maybe you still get to play.

Problems, we got a lot, but Thomas and roster management is way down the list. 
Start with Collaros, thinking he's still got the arm he used to have, throwing into tight spots and getting picked off. Then Jefferson, who used to take over games, but can only shows flashes now. Then whoever made the decision to let Lawler go and rely on broken down Schoen.  Add in the guys who decided that our OC could learn the job on the fly instead of getting a real OC in and that everyone should get another chance instead of bringing in new talent. 
I worry that getting into the playoffs because we played a team that didn't need a win and won a game where we completed 3 freaking passes and Edmonton started the wrong QB at the beginning of the season, is going to tell those in charge that everything's OK so they bring back the old guys for one more kick at the cat.  

What we really need to do is to get rid of the expensive ex stars who aren't worth what we are paying them, work free agency with the cash we saved, and bring in a lot of new faces. 

You are quite right. However, after going to 5 straight Grey Cups and following that up with a disappointing season (where we made the playoffs and had double digit wins), a sane Wade Miller will not overreact and clean house. The chances that a less competent regime would follow this one are more likely than not. Changes? Sure! Cleaning house? That's asinine!

The last time we cleaned house we hired Mike Kelly. The time before it was Jeff Reinbold. Just saying.
If Zach stays next year, we need a couple of upgrades on the O-line...otherwise we'll be lucky to get 9 games out of him.

He was solid but I was sure hoping for exceptional today. All things considered he's still way down my list of problems and something in really looking forward to next year. 

Damn I have been so disinterested in this club this year that I forgot they were playing and missed the game. 
This club needs to fire Hogan and sign minimum 4 starters in free agency for next season. If this doesn't happen then I can't imagine this club getting any better.

This is the best I've seen it summarized
Yup on all accounts 

You can fill in the blanks on Danny Mac but he’s arguably the best example of the old boys club issues going on in this organization.  Everyone who has done 5 minutes of due diligence on him for a job where he’s a face of the organization even up to OC has walked away.  And it’s not totally related to how he understands the CFL.
He’s someone who needs to go here and has for years.  It’s funny for the people claiming others in the org are inept and toxic pushing him as a candidate for a leadership role in the front of a professional organization.

I just want bc because I feel it's the best chance the riders get embarrassed 

Season was fumbled from the GM, on down.  Recruiting and free agency were duds.  The roster we did have was mismanaged, on a weekly basis.  Questionable schemes on both sides of the ball, inconsistent QB play and no major adjustments made all year.
We needed significant changes to coaching and the roster, at the start of the year
Glaringly obvious now..........
 

Really shitty finish. Gonna take me awhile to get over this. Also, it will be a herculean performance to not die of alcohol poisoning during GC. Our only hope is Coach Buck getting through and keeping the Gappers out. It's "something" at least....

Hopefully management puts serious work on the lines. We need better pressure on D and better protection. Build from the lines out.
Have a great offseason. Don't take anything for granted, I wish everyone the best and most importantly, good health. Let's do it again in the spring.

Least enjoyable season in 10 years. Made worse by the fact that we all saw it coming a mile away.
Future looks grim.

Brady fumbled the ball at a pretty bad time. 

The fat lady has sung. See you all in 6 months. Be well and at peace.

I’d like to see Alexander break his leg. Dude screams ******. 

Looks like the team hasn't quit after all.
 
If nothing else they played with the bomber logo with some ******* pride 
Now go win this thing
**** you alexander

Is it just me or are we offside on basically every play 

Told you 

K 30 minutes of football to play. we’re coming back.  here we go. i can dream.

25-6 most dangerous lead in football 

2nd and long three man rush equals first down. Makes sense.
