Now you've given me reason for a week's worth of nightmares.

Stop asking us embarrassing questions that make us uncomfortable and weepy.

We will not know good or bad our receivers are until we have a quarterback who can read, react and deliver the ball. That said why O'Shea is not using our two promising Canuck receivers (Peterman and Simonise) instead of Thompkins and Washington is beyond me. They may not be all-stars yet but they deserve a shot. Another example of poor coaching decisions.

Be honest- if the Bombers had won in that fashion, you would still be celebrating.

It feels like we are reliving the last days of Willy's time here, with O'Shea defending his choice of quarterback right to the edge of the cliff.

And if my aunt had testicles, she would be my uncle. The result is the result and the loss was mostly self-inflicted with little relief in sight.

And they built teams that beat vaunted teams from the west.

If O'Shea has anything to say about it, yes.

I also feel sorry for Nichols. He is not the anal aperture like Casey Printers but this is a results-driven process, and he has lost something and is not the same quarterback of last year.

Probably not. He will ascribe it to just not having been given enough time. Like problem gamblers for whom the gambling is not the problem, its the lack of more money.

I think you overestimate O'Shea's willingness to adapt. I quote Red Green,"Everything can be fixed with duct tape. If that doesn't fix things, you are not using enough duct tape."

Contrast the ducks that Nichols threw for the most part against the dart Streveler threw into the end zone.

Apparently not to O'Shea.

Again.

There is a quotation in therapy, "If nothing changes, then nothing changes".

Just keeps getting better and better....

Ummmm,,,,,,,,look at the final score?

If the Copper Kettle downtown is still around, they used to be pretty good.

Some sacrifices are necessary, and the Bombers look to be 50-50 about making the western playoffs right now anyways. Going into next season with a defence directed by Hall is unthinkable- except to O'Shea.

Insulting the opposition team, their fans and their city is par for the course. For example, when I was passing through Regina a few months ago, we stopped at Costco there for gas and to stretch our legs. The wife (she who will be obeyed) found an item she liked and we lined up at the cashier. The lady ahead of us was a pretty average (for Saskatchewan) looking gal but when she got to the checkout she smiled at the cashier, the scanner immediately rang up a set of cookware..

I vote for "misguided loyalty mixed with rigid thinking"

The problem is not just Hall, but the fact that O'Shea will not replace him. And now the offence has gone MIA.

Remember that this Ottawa offence thrashed the Bomber defence. Goes to show you how bad Hall's defence is and also that Stubler is not senile just yet.

There had better be some changes. The offence has been flaccid for too long and the Bomber offence will be facing one of the best defensive coaches in the CFL

Its not just the losses that have put O'Shea on the hot seat. Its the downward trajectory this year, two consecutive blowouts going into the LDC/Banjo Bowl series, his (at least perceived) unwillingness to dump unproductive coaches and players and questionable player management. None of these are fatal by themselves but they do add up to problems. If the Bombers get blown out in Regina and lose again in the Banjo Bowl, O'Shea and Co. are in trouble.
