The philosophy of many of you (and possibly the Bomber organization) here -  why strive for greatness when being good is enough.

Man, just sick of this **** passing offense. 

Strev big heart. Fearless but he can't throw.

I’m ready for O’Shea to move on 

Guy took entirely too much crap, his biggest flaw was hiring coaches. Lapo and Burke both sucked. As a talent guy he was fine. 

If you really believe that then more power to you, but youre wrong.    Other than a few more sports teams I see no difference between Winnipeg and Stoon/Regina.   World class museums, check to both provinces.  World class sports and entertainment facilities, check to both provinces.  Outstanding bars and restaurants, check to both.  Beautiful parks, check to both.   World class festivals and concerts, check to both, etc.    
You got too much hate, Sask and Manitoba are both great places and that is a fact. 

I'd like to see Dinwiddie come in here as an OC along with long time Stamps receiver coach Pete Costanza. Those guys know the Stamps system cold. 

Osh probably is done in Winnipeg. He's 55-51 I think, a bit better than .500. You'd hope for better after six years. So I am OK he he moves on to Toronto or wherever. The question becomes - who will replace him. I don't see Khari leaving MTL, town is too fun. And he's got something good going on there with Joe Mack and that team. I hope the next Bombers HC is not Lapo - been there, done that.  What if Bombers took a flyer on someone like Ryan Dinwiddie - who did a great job with Arbuckle and the Stamps QBs.  It's time we had someone with real Offensive knowledge calling the shots here. Could be just the ticket if we can keep Streveler on a long-term deal.

I also remember people here saying Jones HC career would be finished before it started in Montreal. That the Als were a graveyard for head coaches. 

I dont remember that at all. I do remember people saying that if they could put it together they would make some noise. 

Well into the season It was hotly contested with many people sure Vaj and the als were a trash team thatd be lucky to win 1 game. 

I'd agree if we'd actually faced Calgary more than once in the playoffs...
Osh/Hall/Lapo has beaten Brandon Bridge in the playoffs... and that's it - changing something up after six years if not hitting the panic button
We need a playoff win this year to justify keeping the 'trinity' in tact

No, just the second longest tenured coach who can't win. Don't know how Walters can sell another 3 years of the same old to fans if this team under O'Shea fails in the playoffs once again. I actually like Mike. He's a decent guy but at some point he has to be held accountable for failing to win. IF he doesn't win again this post season. 

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.
 

Far, FAR worse QBs than Streveler have won Grey Cups. With far worse supporting casts too. Not saying it’s likely but it’s far from impossible. There are no juggernauts in the league this season. 

You pee yourself due to his hatred of the Riders?!

In the spirit of the day, I wish that all and sundry have a great day and that all of us remember how much we all have to be grateful for. We may not agree on all things, sports or political but we live in a great city, province and country whereas what we take for granted many cannot even hope for. Thank God for dirty dishes!

IMO the most likely scenario is:
Wpg and Calgary split giving both teams 11 wins.
Riders beat BC and Edm to get 12 wins.
Calgary beats BC to get 12 wins.
The 2nd Skn/Edm game decides first/second place.
Wpg gets 3rd.

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.

I counted 6 guys on here who picked Streveler as a star of the game. Sorry. I just don't see it. He is a second year player, one of the most exciting players I have seen for a while, but this game was not star territory for me. I hope he develops into a star in this league, though, and the Bombers should be patient with him. But he had 2 picks. If Nichols had 2 picks, he doesn't get my vote either!!
Streveler 15 out of 25 for 174 yards passing. 64 yards running. 1TD throw, 2 picks.
