Only after the demise of the team.

There are lies, damned lies and there are statistics. Giving up yardage is one thing, but giving it up in critical situations is quite another. I believe it is called choking.

Partially, yes.

Hasn't worked so far, and it appears unlikely to now.

Maybe the RedBlacks grabbed him before the Bombers could?

Was thinking it might be more like 6 and 12

No reason to wait. The season is lost to all intents and purposes, and there is a point to be made.

This. Walters bears responsibility for his inaction in letting O'Shea run the team into the ground, but the most immediate concern is O'Shea's mishandling of the roster and poor choice of subordinates. Either one is enough to end his employment and I am iffy about Walters but am willing to give him another year and another HC to redeem himself. If he doesn't want to part with O'Shea, then they can go out the door together.

Was unable to watch the game due to Shaw's service outage but from the 'OB telecast, two things seemed clear: once Collaros got clobbered (that absolutely was RTP), his effectiveness went way down, and he likely stiffened up, and the Elks made halftime adjustments and the Bombers did nothing but fold. It seems probable that we had a preview of the rest of the season.

Quote an essay, but agree totally.

What do the RBs have to lose? Maier was nothing short of brutal last game.

But accurate.

Am expecting a 32-13 win for the Ungulates, and that Collaros will not start the second half.

Disagree. Walters and O'Shea WERE the best duo for several, not many years, but on the decline since. You are exactly what your behaviour says you are, and past glories will carry you for a bit but not forever. Miller's track record says that these two will be back next year and their track records say that we are due for another year of this ineptitude. Bring on the anti-emetics.

That was the saddest excuse for a CFL team I have seen in many a year. I hope that it was not broadcast outside of Canada.

That would depend on how full my bladder is.

O'Shea is trying to relive his career through his herd of linebackers. He likely feels that his career as a linebacker was cut too short and now is projecting that onto his linebackers. Ego, rigid thinking and nostalgia are a sad combination.

Thomas was useful in his day- not an all-star, and was kept after his best-before date due to O'Shea's biases. Whether he is a good coach has yet to be determined, but O'Shea's judgement in hiring positional coaches has hardly been good. I stand by opinion that this edition is worse than last year and needs a drastic overhaul.

There are too many problems on this team for any kind of quick fix, and there is NO indication that help of any kind is coming. The team, including coaches and GM, needs to be burned down to the waterline. Hell, I would probably even include Miller. Suck it up, folks, we're scrooged for this year and will be lucky to get more than a couple of wins more this year, and are likely to stagger into the playoffs, then bomb out.

I don't like O'Shea (his coaching, not personally) and have come to the same conclusion.

FWIW: If the DAZN contract will exclude TSN from broadcasting Saturday night games and the idea of paying more for yet another service irks you, PM me for a possible solution.

Alas, it is highly unlikely that the O-line as presently constituted will be voluntarily changed. If it does not change for the better, we are gonna be down a Collaros again and soon. I was amazed that he went back into the game after that vicious blindside hit, but one more ought to put an end to the season, and likely his career.

You are being too charitable in describing our defensive backfield, but the DC isn't helping, either.

You are probably right, but the 'Cats looked much better as a team than they have since BLM was dinged, and although his throws were not always on target, it was the best game I have seen Trey Ford play.
