We have more hack football writers, per capita.....than anyone else.....

You watch this guy on the field....and he simply thumps his chest.....more than he does enemy ball carriers.  He takes more dumb penalties, than makes big plays.  You listen to him.....and he simply does not seem to get it.   We just finished getting rid of a bunch of people like this....in order to build a winning culture moving forward. 
 
Absolutely no reason for this guy to continue here.......he needs to be gone, ASAP.

Strikes me like Wiecek was hoping to get a "sky is falling" narrative to write his article, Osh didn't bite and so Wiecek decided to tell him how he should feel, because as a sports reporter he's qualified to tell professionals what emotions they have.

I almost feel bad for the guy.

Kromah, Stoudemire and Randle are not Walters "finds" and Leggett and Johnson are two very good new additions but the fact remains that if you are filling holes on your team with guys like Kuale and Romby, something is seriously wrong.

I'm glad that people have finally started to ignore you.

O'Shea would sooner cut Willy than cut his buddy EJ, I fear.

Not really, Leggett was making first contact on most running backs as the Bombers continued to empty the middle of the field, even when Sask was in the I formation and everyone knew what was coming, Etch's incredibly stupid alignments cause most if not all the problems.

Um late hit? The play never even started but you can't throw a flag when no one hears the whistle and all the players are continuing to play.

Which is why we can't afford to sit a guy like Johnny Sears.

I'm pretty disgusted with this roster tbh.

so 9-12 weeks then?

I have a white Stanford Samuels jersey and I'm proud of it. True story.

Please don't make jokes about dying on mountains. You can call me whatever you want but my mother's great uncle Herbert died on a mountain and it has been a source of grief for my entire family throughout many generations.

Thankfully there's a date & time on these posts so Iso can tell his doctor the exact moment when he lost his mind.

Alex Hall was also a very, very good run stopper from the end position. He had incredibly high tackle totals for an end. The suggestion that he only had "one-trick" is laughable and uninformed.

I love a lot of things about Mike O'Shea but one thing in particular puzzles me.
 
I totally understand the purpose of "loyalty" to his players but it seems like his loyalty only goes so far. Aaron Woods wasn't lighting the world on fire, but he was getting the job done. Grigsby at worst has contributed greatly to a few of the team's losses and at best has be maddeningly inconsistent. Woods gets pulled a few times, most recently for a dynamic PR player who showed that at least for one game, he was an improvement. Grigsby on the other hand, keeps getting plodded out there when there are other options who at least deserve an opportunity. We don't know if Cotton or Bolton or anyone else will be better (even if one could argue that there has to be someone out there who can average more than 4.3 YPC, by far worst in the league among starters) but we also didn't know that Stoudemire would be better than Woods and that switch was made. And I'd argue that Woods wasn't costing this team when at times, Grigsby has.
 
So why be loyal to one guy and not the other. Both had backups that likely deserved a shot. And it's not even as if Grigsby "earned" this starting job out of camp either.
 
I could make a similar argument about trotting out the rotting corpse of Romby Bryant for so many weeks but at least that was due in part to injuries.

I'm worried that the Bombers run game looks good this week against the Argos. The Argos are no good at stopping the run. Bombers run game will look good and the coaching staff says "problem solved". Meanwhile we go into Sask for the Labour Day game and can't run the ball again.

Fred Reid was no hall of famer but Grigsby couldn't hold his jockstrap.

You've gotta settle down.
