Gbill is correct. This is a multi faceted issue
First and foremost we are dealing with a pocket passer. This means teams will blitz with out any regard for breaking contain.
With that in mind.. To counter this.. We need either a great offensive line or a qb that makes fast reads and delivers the ball quick.
So what's our issue? Our offensive line is average at best, and our play calling is atrocious. We have slow developing routes and a qb who isn't making quick decisions. It's a recipe for disaster.
Is the coaching to blame? Yes.
Is the offensive line to blame? Yes.
Is Drew Willy to blame? Yes.
People who blame just one of the three are out to lunch and don't know how football works. And I hate playing that card but it's true.

Got labour day tickets. Hopefully ends better than 07

If you don't like my signature you can email bo Bo Burnham and let him know. And for the record what did I say that wasn't true? Less people do show up after a loss. It's not made up. It's fact. I don't care about post counts. Who cares really but when you only show up after losses to crap on the team and disappear when they win how could that person be taken seriously
this is true everywhere. people are more amped up by a blow out loss, and have more to say, than after a narrow win. imagine that. call the press, goalie, you really stumbled on something. nothing more nauseating than people who think theyre better fans.

What context is needed? You're a one note poster saying the same stuff every time there's a loss then you bugger off when the team wins and don't say anything.
Considering how little the team wins that's a hollow claim.
Context being after decades of incompetence people around here understandably get pissed off after losses. Listen to cjob post game. You and other self proclaimed level headed posters are the vast minority.
Head in sand works for some, I guess.

It's not about being a better fan it's about being a more rational human being. I mean if you want to fly off the handle over a loss then go nuts but don't expect to be taken seriously when you do it.What SPUDS is suggesting is that by being more middle ground about how the Bombers are doing is that he's some how a better fan. At least my take. I can't imagine anything more insulting or inaccurate than calling Bomber fans fickle. Imagine how bad attendance would be for this club if it were in Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, or Calgary? Vancouver? Hell even the ***.
If Spuds has any integrity he should retract his comment and apologize.
Context is a fun. Your lack of it is not.

I'm positive that O'Shea was a bad hire. 3 years experience as a special teams coordinator and then a head coach? Jesus our organization is a clown college

i have to say its really gratifying being on the right side of history so damn often. MOS was a bad hire and watching the rest of the fan base get on board with that train of thought is tragically satisfying. oh, sure, id rather be wrong and enjoy a competently coached team... but that's clearly not in the cards.
-
Irving thinks we shouldn't blame 24 years on this regime.
I agree. No one is saying that however.
-
O'Shea will be given this year and will be gone by next.

Need to win today to keep away the Vultures of negative thought from starting to circle

Give me a break. Coaches like to go to winning teams. Full stop. Our team has become a perennial loser, it's no shock that we have tough times getting good coaching.
-
I didnt mean to use the 3-13 as Cherry Picking to pile on to MOS I just meant to say that in the last 16 games we've lost a lot of football. Fatigue and shell shock sets in for fans.
-
Aren't we 3 and 13 since going 5-1 to start last season? That's expansion team bad.

True Blue your post is probably the best I've seen here yet
Kudos

Nice to see the general public finally souring on our coach. Terrible hire imo.
-
Once you've tasted success, nothing else measures up.
The world and especially sports cannot be viewed so such a black and white version of the world. There is a plethora of grey area to consider IMO.
I guess my larger, over arching point is that this is still a sports league, where championships matter. No championships in 24 years, compounded with a really poor regular season record has left me with almost no fuse left for this team. And it sucks because I recognize that this club has improved and we're 2-2.
So what's your point?
Jesus, really? My point is that in sports it can easily be black and white when looking at championships. Especially in an 8 team league (for the vast majority of it). You can't possibly be that obtuse can you?

I think the Grey Cup drought just pisses us off and causes a little loss of perspective. That said the past 20 years have seen a lot of bad football.
However 2-2 is better than I thought we might be to start.
Hard not to agree... if that 2001 team had gotten the job done (they really should have)... we would all be a lot more patient today
Losing to BC a few years ago in the Grey Cup wasn't unexpected. But that 2001 fail job is hard to swallow still. Even worse was the Riders Cup loss. We were a much better team and if not for that god damn broken arm we would have won. Of that I have no doubt. Hell, even with that complete loser Dinwiddie in the pocket we nearly won. Says a lot about that team that year and how mediocre the Riders were.

Wouldn't surprise me. Another bad decision by our intrepid coach.

A treasure? Jesus Christ. He threw for more ints last year than tds and this season he's thrown away a game in Calgary and been a statistical winner and on field loser in the rest.
