Booch

seems to be some issue/disconnect...seems this yr Walter's actually seen we needed the infusion of new blood...and they brought in a lot...and a lot got discarded...again.....He also brought back some guys he prob shouldnt have to effectively remove them from the equation....now did Osh insist he had to have them...put up a big stink?...Walter's relented?...did he do it bugrudgingly with caveat of if new guys better...old guys cut...And Osh went against that?...we will likely never know....but a shift in whats going on is needed...Another embarrassing loss...at home....with a poor roster......that has to be the tipping point

I think past success isnt a reason to cling on it for future success.....They leaned on it since second cup win....and it's not worked...has been degrading ever since to the point now where we "could" be teetering to bottom of the West level ineptitude....things eveolve and change....you see it all the time especially in football. I also look at it as if maybe...past success was a result of the benefit of a lot of top end talent...in its prime that kinda coached /policed itself......and very well for that matter....before that we were awful and the HC was on his way out the door...had a foot out.....fast forward 3 yrs post dominance....older team that is not was it was...some guys we still leaning on that should have been gone last yr already.....similar ussues and problems creeping in like pre 2019 run...HC seemingly clueless and not having answers....be it on the field or with media.....hmmmmm....Maybe he isn't the be all end all and a lot of people seem to wanna believe,,,as we as a team have been out-coached...alot of late (last several years) and he still is relying on his "room" to maintain their process and it will right itself.....something to think about.....he definately not showing above average coaching and decision makong skills

sometimes tho we pick up the other teams slugs tho.....where have we seen the ....Pick up say Mason Bennett and drop a Thomas....Nat for a Nat...One being younger and better....the other not?....thats just one example...We wont do it...well...Osh wont

i enjoy it as well....and have a good chuckle at the assumptions of many, and the mocking that I think I know more than anyone..Including Osh..when I talk to players and management of pretty much every team...still train with many....help train new guys looking to get up here and in the NFL and have a pretty good inside pulse.....And yeah I will say if I was given the reigns of this team in camp...I could have had us sitign here at 2-0...Laugh all you want....yhou all know who you are!

no offence to Ed as he is a team employee....but he literally licking the boots and drinking the koolaide too...and following along with the HC is perfect....sadly....it's gonna take a huge winless streak, or a 2 and 10 record before the poop hits the fan...and it will all be directly related to what we can see I knew it right away from his early articles, and thruout camp when he kept pencilling in guys like Thomas ...Kolo and Kramdi as defacto starters...before...during and when camp closed...Same with the importance of Biggie and that hype...ZC too....Where do you think he was getting that from???....He knew...as well as osh knew that save for one them guys having a limb fall off...regardless of what and how camp went....that they were gonna be in. Biggie didn't make the first game, but as soon as he was remotely able to...he would be plopped right back in.....and was...why do you think we kept no viable guy to replace...or overtake him....cause Osh had zerointention of it...same with BA....Wilson...Kolo...Thomas....tho we kept 3 guys at DT basically if he didn't he would have been a total laughing stock.....

fear of losing access for asking the legit questions....and partly as per my other comment...just clueless in general professional athletes these days...be it 10 yr vet or rookie....are and should all be on the same level in regards to prepardeness and fitness....also....guys who get to the pro level have been at it for most part at least 15yrs or more. I also am in the belief from seeing it personally that most guys now coming into the pro's at the 22...to 25 yr age range are way more athletic and finely tuned than the guys who are vets who came in 10 yrs before them...just the new way of athlete....

totally scared to...and they know that osh will likely use it against them for further interviews....and be even more smug and condascending it's not a matter of listening to fans....noreso an issue of using maybe common sense....weighing options with pro's and con's....talent vs hinderernce?.....and to be honest....a good protion of fan's here...yourself including have a heck of a lot more sense and football intelligence to actually see the forsest thru the tree's than a big majority of local...and even national media...

If only so simple...and logical....and basically the smart roster move....if only...... Unless......your a Coach's boy....Old tenured vet that had value 3....4 yrs ago, or a less skilled Canadian with tenure who's also Daddy's boi....Then that goes out the window and you are given your place on the roster so what your say Ed...is he's better??? Cause our punter right now is not very good/consistent/or able to do more than 1 thing

do we know it was a bad one?....from my understanding was just something minor enough to not be able to play....and 3 weeks later...he good to go...How is thatany different than Biggie....BO...Demski and looking back...how any different than the Grey Cup with 4 guys who were completely unable to perform...yet dressed...and played. Listening to his June 18th presser....I have little hope of much changing unless it's mandated from above

Is Mitchell this yr's Jackson??..The apple of Osh's eye?....TBD I guess

I also bet that even tho Chris Smith is ready to go, and could/should take reps at RB to ease the load, and is the better returner...we won't see him this week....

all the guys mentioned tho had legit competition and beter talent in camp....Osh tho did chose to keep them unfortunately but not surprisingly....but again....you are correct....He was supplied with the players.....not giving him the opportunity to keep them may have been the better avenue to take...100 percent

yup...was in total agreement....and like you said...It's time for Walter's to be the boss....and in turn for Osh to start actually coaching again

yes....and no......we have brought in talent...especially this yr to really infuse youth/talent/hunger and we sent em packing. That part is on Osh Walter's tho either agreed to Osh requests....or on his own seen it as prudent to bring back some aged out and declining talent vets. iF He doesnt re-sign a Thomas....Kolo...Biggie (tho him back as a role guy paid accordingly would have been fine) and a handful of other players....Have that talk to ZC about a re-do that helps we would be in a totally different spot.

Yeah...sad eh?

0-5 outta do it

Igdarrogance?....how bout just Oshin' it?

We’re just going along like every other week. This is a regular week for us,” said head coach Mike O’Shea near the end of a media session stacked with ‘what’s wrong with the Bombers?’ themed questions. “We certainly don’t want guys gripping their sticks too tight, searching for things they don’t need to search for. “In here we feel good; we know what’s going on.” Like really???? I beg to differ that they...moreso him have no clue what's going on....and maybe they shopuld change what and how they have been doing things...as we have looked worse than the Elks of late....

with a smug grin on his face most likely....and post game comments reflecting the best of the best played

a win last week would have been the worst thing in all honesty...would have glossed over...a lot of issues if for only a week, and aslo validated Osh's stupid roster makeup and personell choices, and he would have trotted out the exact same lineup and just been further down the hole we need to claw out of...even tho I wanna win everygame...theres lotsa time left in the season to right the ship and another loss...due to the issues of late may just be the best thing moving forward...as sad as it is to say,

Oakman all things considered would be a solid addition to what we currently have with WJ....Adams and now Woods. Would allow us to do a lot of different things and be an very active front Factor in the return hopefully sooner than later of Garbutt....and Fox...as I assume Haba is done for the yr, and a front with heavy rotation oF multiple combo's and looks of WJ..Adams..Garbutt..Fox..Woods and Oakman plus whatever Canadians not named Thomas would give us something up front we havnt seen here since 2019....and we can easily roster that....if you know who chooses to

we are one more DL injury away from being utterly screwed...we pretty much screwed as is...Wj...Woods...Adams should be our base formation....Ali Fayed if he able to play 60% of reps and is actually impactful can slide outside for some reps...and spell of WJ and Adams....Work in Schmeck for roataion and Samson next...see what the kid can do...Thomas should see the least snaps of anyone and if Samson and Schmeck show they can spell off our last standing studs...then next game they should park him and add a younger guy who can contribute on teams...Basically get Charbeneau back on...Or Kelly if/when he ready...We prob roster Hubert just because tho...,which is a move that is basically of no consequence and likely he stands around most the game...in typical fashion of last few yrs

yup...missed the boat there as we have zero...and we had some guys here who showed some promise/upside...with Upshaw and Rivers...yet we bring in a guy who was hurt...and was able to show nothing in camp and had zero work, but the guys who actually played and would be closer to game shape...we pass on

who could intelligently argue against it?

Basically in a nutshell....ytou have more or less nailed it...we are being out coached for a lack of a better term in a bad way...In most aspects....and along with that goes poor roster management, and really bad PR use And well.....the results are glaringly obvious...Our upper echelon guys...who we rode to knubs...aren't upper echelon across the board anymore either....compoinding it...which circles right back to poor roster management, and then back to poor coaching trying to make square pegs fit into the former round holes....and it's not working.... after 2021....thefe already should have been some...so 2022 and especially 2023...there would have been the heir apparents already developed too many...and again that falls back on the coaching...or lack there of...time to start actually being a hard nosed coach....and right your ship....not happening tho...excuses...smug grins...non answers...they are all number ones....player X is the best...why be worried....well...we worried ya turd!! thing is...generally the HC will ask for...or say he wants.....thatbeing said..Walter's has tonow stop being the compliant buddy...and be the hard nosed Boss I'm sure many were just driving up the price with no real intent...knowing we wanted him..Brady wanted to be here...so push up the price knowing thje ripple effect...we should have just said...here's 190k.....balls in your court..we would have survived if he walked Paying Kramdi tho 70k over the miniumum...stupid when you can get the same or better from an entry level player....but bringing back Osh favs..Kramdi (dont gt me wrong solid backup/teams) Kolo..Thomas...BA...Biggie.....Not a hard and serious talk with ZC (who our coach thinks is best and cant fail) about taking a reduction, or else we cant provide him with the pieces to complete the roster is crippling us....Gauthier and JA can be lumped in there too..Rosery at minimum could give us more than enough backup ability...and possible upside....
