I agree. I was thinking today, about the glory days, when we had James West, Tyrone, and company, the Bombers were waiting to see which team they would face in the Western final..... I heard an interview with James West, he was asked which team he would prefer to play... his answer was "the best one". Those were different days. Heard some radio interviews with Calgary players today, Bo, and a defensive guy. They have that attitude. Fans hoping for the team to be better than the worst is not a good thing.

Ryan Bauman bomben TD..... 300 pound guy, runs good route, finds open spot, good hands. That was my favourite play of the weekend. Schultz is colour guy for Argo radio broadcast. He's good.

Kevin Eiben? (kidding) 😩

edit

Bob Irving tweet up on the right

next one, suspend him for the season.

To a certain extent, it seems like the Mike O'Shea we have now, is very similar to the Mike O'Shea that we had day one of his head coaching time here. The basic model, the ideas about what matters, and how you make a team good, probably has not changed much. odd thing about hanging with a guy who is not playing well; Wasn't Don Mathews known for being unafraid to make changes when needed? And I think Don is the coach O'Shea looks up to the most. At least I thought I read that somewhere or other.

Former Bomber Brett Maher is now field goal kicker for Cowboys. Michael Floyd cut. wonder if he ends up in Sask.

Sure, but for whatever the cause, my recollection is that he's absorbed some big hits this season and last. There was one play last season where he dropped back and got drilled by a blatant helmet to helmet, with the ref twenty feet away and no flag. He's been shaking those off and playing, but It may well have affected him.

Remarkable to see it happen. If it's injury related, some players can get over them, like Reilly, and some can't. The beating Willy took here, probably ruined his career. Even though the Bombers have a good line, Nichols has taken some terrible hits last season and this one.

Remember the despair when Nichols injured himself pre season? The decision to "cap" Streveler's playing time is looking kind of ill advised at this point. Maybe one of MIke's poorer decisions. It would be a hell of a lot easier to put Streveler in, if he had some game time. But, I predict this change will end up being a no brainer if the O struggles next game.

or at least a haiku.

so goalie, what do you think about Matt?

nobody, no matter how much they know, will persuade me that the Bomber's secondary is any good. That play in the endzone, where the Bomber Defender, was it 36 ran straight into the receiver waving his arms, was absolutely laughably bad. gave them the ball on the one. basically handed them the game with that play. As far as I can see these there are about two three players on the entire team, that can play for a whole game. Right now, The team smells, from top to bottom.

Don't drink alcohol, or smoke dope cause, I need to concentrate, so I can help others with my anal-ysis. I have moved on from being pissed off about the team, so that's one thing. call me a bandwagonner, but I don't expect much anymore.

here we go with "a couple of plays" b.s. post game interview. don't bother saying that anymore.

are people posting over .08?

Matt Nichols likely saved O'Shea's job when he took over from Willy.

it's last season stats

yikes just checked Bomber scores up to week 12 last season starting with game 2 43,10,33,42,41,33,39,33,34.24,48. What happened? Wow. a real puzzlement.

I went to the western semi final last season. I would have preferred that the team not make the playoffs, to the waste of time and money that was. As I froze my azz off, hoping for a win, It was another disappointing game, team appeared to just give up, it was over well before the fourth quarter. That was the game where Gable ran through and by about five or six Bomber defenders, on his way into the endzone. (probably the offence's fault somehow or other) And I doubt that he "hates" the man. Just doesn't want him as a coach.

Some people are quite creative when it comes to thinking of excuses for the shortcomings of the Bombers under O'Shea. For them it's just never Mike that's at fault. One team problem, is the really large swings in overall team performance, O and D. Special teams is very consistent. Offence can be great one week, awful the next. Same with the Defence. Sometimes at the same time. sometimes not. A good team will win some lose some but contending teams don't swing wildly like this. How did Ottawa /Calgary pulverize the Bombers? I think some individual records were set against us. Three players of the week, on one of the opponents. Losing to Ottawa/Calgary is one thing. Getting utterly demolished is another. Not a clue why that is, and it's not cause the team is crappy.

harris got 360 in the entire game. But yeah, Montreal d is a lot better than ours. Pipkin 99 yards first quarter. hard to believe that Montreal cut Pipkin.

Harris 29 yards first quarter.

I agree with you. It seems you have become the go to poster for being on the receiving end of put downs. Not sure why. But it happens. Started with one person, now spreading. If you were rude to other posters, I could see it, but you are not as far as I know. If not knowing much is the reason, I guess I should stop posting. If it's a perception of being negative (don't see it myself) there's no shortage of that around here. There's been some school yard bully boy stuff in the past, seems to be back. not for long I hope. Hang in.
