Remember this guy?
I wanted the Bombers to draft him. Shame, I feel shame.
We drafted a complete bust in Ekakatie so we actually made a worse pick than Vandervoort. Saskatchewan drafted Judge behind us who looks like quite the player up to this point.

Bad coaches don’t continuously win 10+ games for four years in a row.
Tim Burke was a “bad” coach, MOS is nothing of the sort.
Bad coaches can win championships, never mind winning 10+games a season. See former head coach Dan Byslma of the Pittsburgh Penguins. I wouldn't say O'Shea is a bad coach but winning 10+ games for four years in a row certainly doesn't indicate he is a good or great coach. He has been provided with quite a bit of talent and good Canadian depth.

It's a shame O'Shea didn't give McGuire a chance to see what he could have done tonight or in previous games. I remember when we signed Drew Willy & right away at that media conference, 4 months before training camp he announces Willy is the starter. No ifs, ands or buts. Never even saw the guy take a snap & he was suddenly our starter. O'Shea just gave the starting job to Willy that day. He didn't even have to earn it. That's O'Shea. He never even allowed McGuire to show what he could do this season. Coach may have short changed McGuire, his teammates & us by doing the same thing with Streveler. You think he'd have learned from that mistake but nope.
The team seems to have peaked under this regime in 2017. 12-6 record. While the team did finally win a playoff game in 2018 it was against the worst starting QB in recent playoff history...and that Bomber team was 10-8 in the regular season and clearly inferior to the one from the preceding season.

Bottom line.. Regardless of how points are scored considering the D was scoring points earlier in the season also.. Winning games without giving up TDs.. But regardless.. 33 points in Calgary should be enough to win. Problem recently has been the D giving up these big time explosion plays.
D was not doing this earlier..they were shutting teams down. Now.. If the D needs a stop, they dont get it.
The D wasn't good...I will start by saying that. But the offense was pretty bad as well. The defense basically gifted the offense 14 points. 1 on a turnover returned for a TD and another deep in Calgary territory where the offense only had to move the ball 25 yards for the TD. Without those plays by the defense, the offense probably only scores 19-22 points...not particularly good.
Bottom line- both the offense and defense were not good. Special teams was the best aspect of the game for the Bombers.

Watching O'Shea's comments postgame reinforces the view that he cannot be HC here next year. 1) he admitted he has no clue what's going on on offence. 2) his explanation of why Bombers don't go for 2 pt converts is ridiculous. 3) his comments about Streveler's in-game health also are ridiculous. 4) surprised no one asked why he challenged Jeffcoats RP penalty.
Summary of what he said?

If you think this is imploding you have no perspective.
Implosion may be a strong word, but the team is 5-8 in the second half of the season with two huge leads lost in that time frame. The offense is near the bottom of the league in that span and the defense is too inconsistent to be called anything more than average.
Edit: 5-7
-
The defense wasn't very good...and yet they practically scored 14 points for the team. The offense was nearly as bad...without the 2 turnovers by the D and the Bomber ) likely scores less than 20 points which is not good enough vs. Calgary. Didn't help when the offense turned the ball over 3 times in the second half.

Streveler is a warrior out there, no doubt about it. However, it is frustrating watching a QB who is, for the most part, incapable of throwing it down the field with any accuracy on a consistent basis. Less than 150 yards passing...you simply can't win with that performance which is what Streveler provides week in and week out.
2 more picks by Strev so he now has 16 ints this season. Based on his passing attempts, he throws a pick every 14 attempts...you can't win with that type of quarterbacking.
Looking at the final numbers, Strev had more rushing attempts than Harris which is inexcusable.

I genuinely feel bad for our fanbase. Every year I wonder why people come back. Why ticket sales don't plummet.
This organization doesn't deserve us.
Seeing all the infighting over obvious losers like hall lapo and a clueless coach like mos is sad.
Why the **** was streveler out there? Hurt, hobbled, can't throw a pass and mos shoves him out there. Brainless.
Ticket sales are dropping. The season ticket base dropped to 17 - 18,000 this year. Outside the Banjo Bowl, the Bombers did not draw one crowd over 25,000 this year - that is the first time that has happened in the new stadium.
I think many people have given up on the idea this team will win a Grey Cup or even finish first with this coaching staff and management group in place.

Who was the coach? Was it.. Lapo?
Don't be myopic. Buck was an injury-prone QB when he came and had underwhelming results when he came here from BC...it was the reason they released him. That continued with the BOmbers...it didn't help that the GM surrounded him with garbage on the o-line, but it was clear as time went along especially in 2012 and 2013 Buck was done. He was failing to go through his progressions by that point and his arm wasn't as strong either.

Nope. They would be neutered and put up 210 yards passing. The QB is irrelevant with this Lapolice O.
I would be fine with Lapo leaving as I think he is an over-rated OC, but you are wrong. With Khari and Durant, Lapo let his quarterbacks sling it down the field with long and intermediate passes. Neither Streveller nor Nichols have the talent to do that on a consistent basis.
A clean slate (new head coach and new coordinators) to go along with a new quality QB would be just what the doctor ordered in 2020, assuming this team is one and done in the playoffs.

Other than Nickthesizz no one hates Streveler. He has lots of heart & yes, he's a warrior. But I don't want a warrior at qb. I want a qb that can read a defense & throw the ball with success. Someone who actually gives us a chance to win.
Yes, Buck was a warrior and he was mediocre for most of his games he played here...and the Bombers were mostly awful from 2010-2013.

Garbage. TOR said everyone was available. Brain trust went with the semi invalid Collaros so howd that work out?
I think it would have required a first round pick from the Bombers to complete that deal...with a small addition possibly. Argos would be dealing from a position of strength. Walters probably a little gun shy to pull that off.

Yeah,I'm damned well tired of it. This has gone past the point of acceptability. Our passing offense is an abysmal failure. An embarrassment. Absolutely freaking useless. This is why fans will be demanding cpoaching changes this offseason because next season won't be any better. I'm so ******* pissed off. Something has to give. Get us a qb who can throw the ball proficiently so we can have some semblance of a passing game. Not this high school **** we watch now.
Masoli or Arbuckle would look mighty fine here.

Game might as well be over. O'brien and that garbage o-line are not doing crap against the Saskachewan defense.

A lot of insane things have been said in this thread lately, but people wanting yet another rookie HC and thinking that will go well, is a new low.... Ffs.
Who do you want as head coach if O'Shea decides he wants to head back east and signs with the Argos?

Never mind that. Were those stories about Dallas Page and Eric Bischoff swapping wives during the WCW days true? Inquiring minds want to know.

Let's keep in mind that besides the weather factor on Saturday there were:
1) 2 Cirque du Soleil shows at Sterling Lyon Parkway with close to a few thousand people at each show
2) a Manitoba Moose game with over 5,000 people
3) Replacements playing the Burt with over 1,000 people
When you live in a city with over 250,000 people you have a tad few more major entertainment options with your disposable income. Now that might be hard to comprehend for our neighbours to the west who typically never travel beyond the outskirts of Moosomin but there it is.

Roddy? You watch Roddy's show? Wow. No one here watches him now that we don't have to. Manitoba weather isn't front page news in Saskatchewan. I never heard anything about it. But whatever, keep crying and spewing your bullshit about us. The hate keeps me warm
You pee yourself due to his hatred of the Riders?!

Is Strev learning? Maybe, maybe not. His throwing mechanics...well, they need some work. I'm not sure if that's fixable as I would think that should have been resolved in College.

There is no fact anywhere in this statement...
Dinwiddie has been considered a great offensive mind going back to his days with the Als. That is a fact. Bombers hired Kelly as coach, Mack as GM, Miller as CEO, Walters as GM, re-hired Lapo largely based on familiarity, not necessarily because they were the most qualified for the job. In some cases it worked out, most of the time it doesn't. FACT!

I lean towards that too unfortunately. Let's hope Bomber management proves us wrong with the signing of Masoli or Arbuckle.
