Thanks for the correction.

No doubt O'Shea would have a valuable cachet for that market.
-
Ummm...that would work if we could put them all on the field at the same time, but I'm pretty sure that would be against the rules, so only the Riders could do that.
-
Washington showed better than Givens yesterday and they both came in at the same time. Patients are a virtue for doctors.
-
I would disagree with you. Nichols could not have been any better- he was great, busted finger or not. Hall's charges gave the game away. Hall was not on the field, but he bears the final responsibility and deserves to be unceremoniously turfed.
-
Nor should they.

-
How would the presence of Leggett, and Adams have stopped the botched fake punt and glaring breakdowns in the defensive coverage?
-
Much as I love Dressler, I hope we can find someone better than him, and every other receiver on this team.
-
Nichols is one of the top two or three QBs in the league and based on this year's play, I would take him over Bo-Levi and I shudder to think where we would be if not for him. In my view, O'Shea has not progressed as had been hoped.
-
It was obvious when O'Shea was hired that there would be a learning curve but I think that he has had ample time now. I am 50/50 about him coming back next year, and the deciding vote will be cast when/if/how he chooses to deal with Hall and Hurl.

I am going to retreat into a feeble* position in the corner now.
-
Now you are going to give me nightmares.
-
Maybe he is tired of the team he is playing for being almost good enough?
-
Winning is nice, but being able to to respect yourself and the organization you work for is a whole lot more important at the end of the day. Don Matthews didn't get many Christmas cards from his players but he managed to win without being complete jackhole. O'Shea has his faults but at least he has the respect of the fans.

Firing Hall is not just about ridding the team of an incompetent coach. It also has to be about sending a clear message to the rest of the team (including the scouts and coaches) that continued bad performances will result in heads rolling. The players that have been giving their best are going to be disheartened if their efforts are being undermined by bad coaching, the retention of players and coaches that are demonstrably bad and any kind of favouritism.
-
If he was, he would be bubbling about all the progress the team has made and how rosy the future is.
-
Four years of "rebuilding" and we have yet to win a playoff game? Four years and teams who were just as crappy (Riders, Argos and TiCats) have managed to make the necessary changes to become competitive and the Bombers back into the playoffs and embarrass themselves in front of their fans in a winnable game? If this is good enough, there is something dreadfully wrong. As one vulture said to the other, "Patience my a$$, I'm going to go kill something".
-
As another nail in Richie Hall's coffin: the Bombers were in the game for the first half and the offence was still perking in the second half, but the Eskimos made half-time adjustments and shredded the Bomber defence. Hall's offence made no corrections and the Esks ran away with the game. Westerman and Leggett would have made no difference and even if Hurl had been a decent MLB, that would not have stopped the slaughter, just slowed it down a bit.
-
....but no "happy ending"
-
Is this the attitude of Walters, O'shea and Hall?
-
Washington made a few catches as well, so he may be worth bringing back next year, but Givens showed very little despite his apparent promise.
-
Mercifully, you will have a reprieve until at least next year.
