    That's the fantasy.  The reality is that Glenn comes in throws a pick 6, shrugs, says, "Its only a game" and walks off the field

    Anyone who would fire you for watching the bombers isn't someone you want to work for. Stream away.

    I saw couture' number  in the game the other day. don't know how many plays he was on the field for, not many.
    I think if any linebacker gets hurt Tony burnett will play. He's really good on special teams, and I think the coaches like him a lot. was it last year he went in, looked good, then got hurt right away? they seem to like really athletic guys, and he is one.

    I think this is the right decision.  Like above, Smith and Dressler are in automatically and imo Shepherd has been coming on lately.  He looks pretty strong out there.  Kohlert is the token...I like that

    I just don't see any good argument for who you take out to make room for Denmark. I like the guy as much as anyone, but who do you take out? Dressler and Smith start, no questions asked, Sheppard is your only bigger guy, Kohlert is the Token, and McDuffie is a saw-off with Denmark, but because he's your returner, it's a good use of roster space to leave him on as a burner receiver............

    I never though I'd see that day where Bomber fans were arguing over who is the better receiver to put in vs. arguing that we have to start XXXX this week due to the lack of depth.
     
    It's a beautiful sight!

    Smith was constantly open before he got hurt Willy could never get him the ball.

    Sheppard plays on every special team and they like his run blocking.

    Bombers didn't do anywhere near enough to win that game and they still won, so it's just as easy to say that if we clean our game up, we come out and destroy the Riders.
    We had 8 scoring drives and scored 28 points. Plus we hit the post on another field goal.
    Realistically, you get 8 scoring drives in a single game and you should be putting up 35-40 points, not 28.

    You forgot Crapigna (that name is so bad it seems mean to make fun of it.  Also kind of redundant) crapped the bed and pulled a Westwood with the game on the line, as well as missing two other FG's.  This year, our outstanding kicking is winning us games, instead of enduring years of losing games due to our terrible kicking.  Remember Alex Serna?  Rob Pikula?  
    Also - I haven't seen anyone making fun of the 13th man penalty Sask took.  I was laughing - how awesome was that.

    I didn't mind Leibl, but...What ever will we do now with out Leibl updating us on his jewish men's softball league...?  That was terrible.  At least I won't have to change stations when that comes up anymore.  ....I actually change it when Westy says something dumb as well...so no difference to me.  I'll still tune in as they do cover the Bombers and Jets very well.  Toth isn't bad.

    I really like Jay & Dan. The issue with that style of tv/radio is that if you're going for funny, you better be funny. Some of the guys who try to replicate that just don't have it, and it's brutal to watch/listen to.

    I don't like Edmonds at all on pbp. I find him incredibly annoying. Imo he just sounds like he's trying too hard. I don't need the pbp guy screaming at me to get me into the game.
    I'd take Beyak any day over him.

    Mulumba is a pass rusher.  He's listed as a LB because he's played on teams that run a 3-4.  He's a DE.

    He was a DE at E Michigan... he's a pass rushing LB in the NFL (essentially a DE)... and he projects to be a DE in the CFL... I don't really think there's a debate about this...

    Will always love Coach Harris.  We was a great man.  Always talking with the fans at start of practise.  Ripping on Big Dougie as he was stretching on the field.  I've never heard anyone have anything bad to say about him.

    Westy Sucks reacted to KptKrunch in Does a blow out at home Thursday get MOS fired?   
    Darvin Adams exemplified that big time. It's what I've been saying. WATCH the other teams, I watch the Eskimo's all the time. Anyone here think Reilly is perfect? Not even close. He usually just throws the ball to an 'area' when he goes deep, it's his 'receivers' that make a play on it. You all saw Bowman do it last week. Not to mention his 8 yard route when he needed 10 yards (and that was the game btw - that's where the bombers lost it). 
    That being said, Willy is NOT a 400k QB- bombers hitched their wagon to the wrong guy - AGAIN!
    I'm a broken record, but I'll say it again. Until the bombers find their OWN QB - they are not doing anything. They might have some limited success here and there, but if they can't find a QB (and there's more out there than people think btw) the Bombers will never be significant in the CFL. The bombers are the new 'Riders, like it or not. Perennial doormats. The free space on the bingo card. 
    And now its what - 37 games since we scored 30 points in a game. 17to85 thinks that's no big deal. Really. So if the Winnipeg Jets failed to score 4 goals or more in hockey for two seasons - that would be 'no big deal'??? 17 - that's a HUGE deal. It's a scoring league. 30 points - teams get that by accident - Calgary got over 30 yesterday and they only played half a game (well 2 and 1/2 quarters). That stat by itself tells you how effective Willy (though he probably only started about 22 or 23 of those games - but still even that's not acceptable for a 400k a year guy) and MOS are as a team.

    I'm done with going to Bomber games.
    I'm not done watching the team. I'm done making the 40 minute drive and 20 minute walk to the stadium to subject myself to the product that we're being given. I'm still going to watch religiously every single game, but I want the ability to turn this garbage off with the push of a button instead of having to travel another hour back home.
    We absolutely ****ing suck. I'm sure it's a combination of things and I'm sure the blame isn't on any singular person, but this team just lacks any entertainment value whatsoever. I'm 26 years old now, I've had season tickets since 1999, when I was 9 years old and I used to have so much team spirit that I would save up birthday and Christmas money to buy my own so I could go with my dad. I didn't want my parents to buy my tickets, because I wanted to support the team myself. Sure, it was all their money anyways but that was the pride I had in being a Bomber fan, I thought at 9 years old that I could proudly support them MYSELF.
    I never used to miss a game for anything. I've missed birthdays. Weddings. Parties. I've gotten in fights with girlfriends because I wanted to watch a Bomber game on TV instead of going out to a BBQ or some kind of other social function. I missed half of my high school graduation to listen to preseason football on the radio. I've driven to Calgary, Edmonton and Regina to watch games, despite it taking all the way until last year to ever see a road win. Two years ago, I went to Los Angeles during Bomber season and they were playing Hamilton (the game where McDuffie returned a TD on us) and I missed watching half of a Dodger game because I stayed in their team store until the end of the Bomber game because that was the only place in the stadium I could get consistent wifi. There are literally no ends to what I've done to expose myself to as much Bomber football as I possibly can and I really just don't give a **** anymore.
    I'm tired of Mike O'Shea and his "I don't know what's going on" attitude. His post game interview last night was depressing and apparently his halftime interview with Sara Orlesky was even worse. I'm tired of no answers for anything. I'm tired of trying the same **** over and over again and expecting it to worth the 17th time when it didn't work the first 16. I'm tired of watching teams run the same plays we do for 15, 20, 30 yards when we can barely run them for 2. We've seen 7 wins in 30 tries at Investors Group Field and it's ****ing pathetic. If it's not the QB, it's the defense. If it's not the defense, it's the playcalling. If it's not the playcalling, the kicker misses. If the kicker doesn't miss, it's the QB. Whatever it is, we never put it together and I'm just so defeated watching this unentertaining product. Even 5-6 years ago, we weren't very good but we could see progress. Now? Nothing. I was talking with my dad at the last game and we were trying to recall all the good memories we've had of watching the team play at IGF. My fondest ****ing memory is the game where Jason Boltus somehow managed to throw a pass backwards and I laughed at how pathetic we were. That's the only positive memory I have of IGF. Some "so bad it's funny" bull**** that only the Bombers could pull off. That's not how I want to remember Bomber football. At Canad Inns? I remember the TD record. I remember Khari Jones instilling confidence in a fanbase that knew even if we were down going into the fourth quarter, we sure as **** had a chance to win - a good chance. I remember the Stegall 4 catch, 4 TD game. I remember the Thanksgiving comeback. I remember Swaggerville coming up into Section S to celebrate with the fans after a Eastern Final win against Hamilton when Chris Garrett ran over, around and by everything near him in the snow. Remember watching football in the snow? Not at IGF, because our lockers are cleaned out by then.
    Remember when we fired Doug Berry because making the playoffs 3 years in a row but not winning a Grey Cup was unacceptable? Can you imagine making the playoffs 3 years in a row now? I'd kill for it. I can't remember the last time I actually had to pay for my playoff ticket because it's been carried over from the previous year for what? I dunno, 5 years now? Another 5 before that? Who even knows at this point. All I know is I can't subject myself to this garbage anymore. I just laugh. What else am I supposed to do? Getting mad doesn't do anything. It's not worth investing the effort. The team sure doesn't. All I know is I've gone from a fan who would've missed my mom's birthday to listen to a Bomber radio broadcast through a broken walkie talkie to a fan who literally would rather stay at home so he can go pull weeds after we get run outta the building in the first quarter. We ****ing stink. And I can't be bothered to care anymore.

    Westy Sucks reacted to Mike in You know who I wish was on our team?   
    I'm not saying Ricky Collins specifically. Because he's just one example. But look at him. Tattooed. Gold grill. Personality. Attitude. And what else? He's a damn good football player. And we had him - but we got rid of him. Why?
    I honestly don't think our talent evaluation is that bad. I think our evaluation of the kind of men we want on our football team is. I'm going to be blunt about it even though I think it's probably going to ruffle some feathers. I think Ricky Collins got cut from this team because he's not Carlton Banks. You can't blame Walters or our scouts - they signed this kid. And look at him in Saskatchewan. Circus catches for TDs and first downs. Top 5 players in the CFL in yards per catch? Walker. Bowman. Williams. Ellingson. Ricky Collins.
    This kid is an example of the football player we needed on this football team and I kind of have to believe at this point that he got overlooked because he's not the "take home to meet the family, hold the door open for grandma" type. What else is it?
    Where is the attitude on our team? The only player we really whole heartedly market is Andrew Harris and while he's definitely got some personality, it's the hometown factor that we market. Not his attitude or his personality. Other than that? We don't seem to have a whole lot of it because O'Shea seems to be more interested in recruiting players he would trust babysitting or taking grandpa to the doctor.
    Gimme some KD Williams, Jonathan Hefney, Brandon Dyson guys. This team needs it.
