    mhm after finishing with the second best record in the league iirc and winning his division. 

    I would say right now we are on track for some shaking up of the coaching staff in the off season. I dont think wade/walters n co will settle. I think plop will move on to a HC job and hall will be canned. I dont think mos is gone short of a gigantic implosion but I do think his seat gets warm next year if things dont move forward. 

    Do you not think that if O'Shea cannot see or deal with Hall's horrid defence, he is unfit to be a head coach?

    Yep. This fan base is past the point of being happy to make the play offs each year. Its time to turn the corner as a franchise and do what ever it takes to get that done. 

    Agreed. DeWayne Casey, former coach of the Raptors, was fired because although the team did well in the regular season, it stalled repeatedly in the playoffs. O'Shea is a good guy but he has had ample time to produce even one playoff win and has not.

    The sky isn't falling people; here's how I see it:

    Calgary - No CFL has gone undefeated in the current 18-game format. The big advantage here is our home game against them is in Week 19. Assuming the Stamps keep up their torrid pace, they might've already locked up first at this point, which could mean an easy win for the Bombers if they rest their regular starters. If they somehow are unbeaten still at that point - you don't think the Bombers would be frothing at the mouth to hand them their first loss of the season?
    Edmonton - we only lost by 3 with Streveler at the helm, I think we come out ahead in two of three phases (defense / special teams, though EDM D also looks awful). A split here is reasonable.
    Saskatchewan - Even with a stronger D for Sask - I think we still come out ahead in the other two phases (offense / special teams), also two of these are at home, which should help the Blue and Gold here. Also - a SSK win tonight might mean they think they are world beaters heading into the back-to-back against us.
    Ottawa - I would argue our team was fat and happy on Friday night and underestimated Ottawa. The end result was a blowout, but remember that up until the 3rd quarter, we had kept it close before a major defensive breakdown. Nichols' fumble was the straw that broke the camel's back, as even at that point they were driving and it was still a two-possession game (score was 30-14 at that point).
    Montreal - The general consensus here is this game is a bingo space for us.

    So a win against OTT, EDM, one against SSK and against MTL gives us 4...meaning 9-9.
    Win the season series against SSK and beat up CAL's backups in week 19 gives us 6, making us 11-7.

    I think the flaw in your logic may be that you are assuming that Nichols will perform better than Streveler and at this point, that is highly debatable.

    Team last year did not get deflated when things went awry during a game.

    Not sure if this team is that way.

    They kind of collapsed on Friday. 

    Re putting in Canadian receivers, seems like there might be an apprenticeship system here. player must be a backup for a season or two, then play. 

    Demski served his apprenticeship in Sask, so he gets to play. Peterman is doing his time now, whether or not he's ready, and maybe better than Lankford.

    Might be a flaw for this system. Along with playing guys that clearly are not good enough, for unknown (to fans) reasons, that are never given publicly.

     

    Agreed that experience is valuable for receivers, but Simonise's forte was supposed to be speed, and since some here were saying that we do not have the deep threat(s) we need, maybe he is an answer as a replacement for Lankford. Realistically, Lankford should not be that difficult to replace.

    As screwed-up as the Riders are, I am starting to dread the upcoming home-and-home series with them. The Riders have an excellent defence and for all his failings, Jones is a very good DC, so our stumbling offence could get their lunches eaten big time. And if our defence plays as they did Friday,even a popgun offence might be good enough to beat them. We need reason to hope.

    I may disagree with the harping on Nichols but there's little doubt this fan base needs a championship. Pretty badly. 

    The Bomber malaise is not all on Nichols but in tough times, teams look to their leaders and that has to be Nichols, who is not doing well at the present. Some of the blame also has to fall on the defence as a whole and the coaches.

    Bad luck a couple of times cost them the WFC championship. Tevor Kennerd missing something like 3 easy FG's in 1980 & the roughing the passer penalty on John Helton in 1982 after Vince Phason had the game winning interception. Every game we played them was close. We should have beaten them twice.  The Esks were good but they were also damned lucky.

    And dumb luck will beat skill every time.
