His options are: retire, ask for a trade or play for the Bombers. I do not know who would be interested enough in him to offer a trade of value.

We had one a highly rated college center (Tui Eli) sitting on the bench while Kolankowski fell down a lot, we drafted a highly rated Canadian MLB and another (J.Jones) sit while T. Jones struggled on pass coverage a lot, and we had Echols and Cobb Sit while Mitchell and Corcoran wandered around, we had Jake Thomas waddle onto the field when the ratio allowed an import to replace him, and Cam Allen was sidelined too long. The D-line that we had second last game and was effective was gutted in the ESF. Maybe none of these changes would have saved the season, but O'Shea's stubbornness is more than evident.

Agree on almost all points, but Kyrie Wilson had a good year and ought to be allowed to compete for a starting job next year. T. Jones was often out of position and Kyrie may have had to try to compensate.

When we were living in Saskatchewan, the wife and I attended a couple of Bomber games at the old stadium. It was mostly fun and an intimate experience although there seemed to be more than average numbers of jackholes who were rude and crude.

Understandable. However, in Walter's defence, and I am in no way absolving him, maybe some of those premium players may not have wanted to come here because of O'Shea's rigid insistence of playing his pet players to the exclusion of better players.

A fate worse than death.

They have been named ad nauseum.

For those advocating that O'Shea ought to be given another year or two to fix what is wrong with the team: O'Shea had viable alternatives sitting on the bench all year and refused to use them except in the last game for a bit. He has had three consecutive years of declining performances and has made only token changes. IMO. he has clearly shown that he is incapable of change. If nothing changes, then nothing changes.

The only redeeming things about this loss today are that it may finally trigger the badly needed organizational changes and (most importantly) it means there will no opportunity for the Riders (who are almost certain to win the West) to curb-stomp our team in the biggest game of the year in front of Bomber fans in their home stadium. That has to be worth something.

A great offence can atone for a lousy defence and vice versa, but this year we had neither. Special teams were a bit of a bright spot, but that's all.

But that is not who this edition is.

The fat lady has sung. See you all in 6 months. Be well and at peace.

Coulda driven a very slow truck thru that gap

He also has glacial speed.

He WAS trying to help out.

Truthfully, if that were the Bombers winning most of us would be apoplectic by now.

Wheatfall has made a case for continued employment today.

They went right through the hole Jake left vacant.

THERE'S the dagger through the heart.

Dumb, DUMB penalty.

Als were due for a freebie, I guess.

Aw, CRAP! That otta decide the game.

Nope. Like my old girlfriend would say, "Don't arouse my curiosity without satisfying my expectations".

Well, that very brief flicker of hope is soon extinguished.

We wanna beat them in every aspect of the game. including inane penalties.
