stamps are basically the bombers from the late 70s to the mid 90s

Even the most positive Bomber poster I have ever read on the official forum, Aardvark, had nothing to say this weekend. At least I didn't see any posts from him which is surprising.

And here I thought it was either Scope or vanilla extract. Don't forget hairspray.

I think the game and level of play is better than last year. Still have a little way to go to get to the level of 2013. Good defensive battle in Calgary today. Reilly will make things more interesting next week.

Miller stated in a radio interview this week that Walters will be given three years. Regardless of what happens the rest of this season I suspect that will not change.

Heard that interview on Hustler and Lawless. Wade said the Bombers are heading in the right direction.

Miller was on the Hustler and Lawless show this week and he said what they do may not be popular and too slow for the fans and the BOD, but they are going to do things the right way. It was never elaborated in the interview what the right way is. I'm assuming it means not trading away draft picks and continuing to build through the draft.

Heard Hustler say, " Pilsner - the Saskatchewan champagne."

The guy is a fkn troll because he was cut... Wonder what he would have said on twitter when we were all saying he was the weak link on the OL I don't disagree, but it does make a point a lot of us have been saying and getting ridiculed for. O'Shea doesn't hold his players accountable for what they do on the football field. I'm no longer in the O'Shea fan club, but what kind of penalty can he impose on a player when that player knows there is no one to step in if he is turfed? Get Bigg Buff to throw their track suits in the shower.

I would take this kind of post from you more seriously if you made the same excuses for Marve. You didn't. You chose to crap all over him instead. Marve wasn't 21 of 26 for 184 yards. If you really think brohm was the problem I suggest you watch again. varying levels of horrible. It's not like Brohm's only option on second and long is to throw a 5 yard pass. The man is simply incapable of throwing intermediate or long passes on a consistent basis. Just an awful Qb really.

120 yards passing and 180 total yards offense in the first 57.5 minutes. Brohm is as culpable as Marcel. It's not as if his only option was to throw 5 yards passes...even on second and 8.

That's BS, all he did was take his teams to the playoffs in consecutive years, same a Berry but he got the axe too. This organization and it's fans are too stunned to know a good thing when it's staring them straight in the face. The fact is he has never been in charge of an offense that has ranked above 4th in the CFL in any given season in all the important categories. In fact, his offenses have almost always ranked in the bottom 2 or 3 in the league. If you are the old fart you claim to be you should have known this. Research is your friend. Why would you want to settle for a mediocre offense which is what you will get with Bellfeuille. Coming up short in one aspect of the game results in less likelihood of long and short term success. The fans are tired of average and below average stopgaps. It's time to aspire for something greater.

^^^^ THIS You need to start right at the very top to clean house this time, or else the result will be just the same... What will cleaning house now do? It won't salvage the season; It won't bring back Willy; It won't change the fact the Blue lack Canadian talent. This is a process these guys aside from Bel-FAIL deserve another year wit ha healthy Willy and solid qb and some Canadians maturing specificlly Gossen on the o-line. This seaon was over after last weeks game now it will be a string of blow outs wit ha win or two sprinkled in to give us fans the faint hope that things will get better but there is no quick fix and that is sad but true. Don't forget these guys are cleaning up Mack's mess, which is akin to cleaning up a nasty oil spill! So how can an expansion team in their second year be in a playoff spot with a better record than the Bombers? What process are the RedBlacks utilizing that they can start from scratch 1.5 years ago and be a more talented team than the Bombers today?

Was it a good kinda yelling like, "Hey Wade! Keep up the good work!" Or was it the bad kind of yelling like, "Hey Wade, nice hiring you did for the Bombers! Maybe stick to Pinnacle!"

"Why so many penalties?"- answer: loss of focus"Will there be consequnces?" a: I'm not going to get into that "Will there be a new starting quarterback next week?" a: not going to get into that "What happened in the game?" a: we were doing fine until the penalties. Consider that turd polished. Complete waste of airtime. Bombers had 160 yards of total offense (120 passing yards) in the first 57 minutes of the game. There is nothing fine about that. You are right. Consider the turd polished.

The running backs were given an opportunity to carry the ball throughout the game and what did they manage. 2 gains of 5 yards with the rest falling in the range of 0 - 4 yards gained. You go on and on about the lack of running plays every week despite evidence that the team is gaining very little from the run. If they called 4 or 5 more runs a game they wouldn't end up gaining any more significant yardage and the drives would still stall. The o-line is simply not good enough. But go ahead and insist that the Bombers should call 25 -30 runs a game when they average 3 yards a carry. Winning strategy bud.

I would take this kind of post from you more seriously if you made the same excuses for Marve. You didn't. You chose to crap all over him instead. Marve wasn't 21 of 26 for 184 yards. If you really think brohm was the problem I suggest you watch again. When you only manage 11 first downs in the first 56 minutes of the game along with 120 yards passing you are the problem. Can't understand how you don't see this. He only managed that second-last drive because Sasky was playing prevent. The game was out of reach.

Anyone can have a high completion percentage when they throw for 5 yards. How many times was it second and long and Brohm threw the ball 5 or less yards? That's horrible decision-making by both the OC and Brohm (he might not be looking at his options downfield). In the first 56 or 57 minutes Brohm had 10-12 Tds and 130 or so yards passing. He padded his stats, if you can call 184 yards padding, playing a prevent defense in those final few minutes when the game was out of reach. Terrible game from him and that's no surprise.

I'll wait until next Saturday night before I can determine if this is the low point of the season.

O'Shea getting testy with Doug Brown in the post-game interview over questions regarding how he will deal with the lack of discipline by the players. Didn't hear him say he had to look at the game film though...

Bombers sign Muamba to a 3 year, $675 000 contract. Bombers convince Duron Carter to sign a 3-year, $600,000 contract once all members of morningbigblue offer to be his "fall guy."

Montreal has a good defense and that's the result of good recruiting. They have a respectable offensive line with some good canadian talent and that's the result of good recruiting and drafting. All those injuries at QB are a little beyond Popp's control. He is now starting a 4th stringer in Tanner Marsh. While he has seemed to make quite a few hasty and questionable decisions of late, he deserves a few years to see if he can build the team into a Grey Cup contender. The franchise has made the playoffs every single year of it's existence, dating back to 1994. 9 Grey Cup appearances, 4 Grey Cup wins...he will get the benefit of the doubt if the team fails to make the playoffs. He just needs to leave the coaching to others.

Most people thought Brohm and Marve were good Qbing depth? Interesting....

You're ready to write Marve off after one start? In a thread earlier this week it was noted that Glenn took three years to develop before he showed positive results, same goes for Durant, Reilly and Burris. Again all of those Qbs had shown something by the time they reached Marve's age. Marve might improve, just don't expect some amazing progress in his abilities given his age.

Not even close. AC came in to the league as a 22 year old - extremely young and pliable. He actually showed something in his time in hamilton and Las Vegas. He was never as bad as Brohm (30 years old and will not get significantly better) or Marve (27 and might have a little bit of upside). Given his age Marve has much less chance for improvement. At the same age, Calvillo was already proving himself as a good starter in Montreal.
