This is a move of absolute desperation and if I were the GM, I would want to know how it was allowed to come to this. If true, it didn't happen overnight.

Hang them all! Let God sort 'em out.

Anthony Coombs- now don't you feel silly?

hint: he has two "o's" in his last name.

I have never seen a team sack pretty much all their receivers in one swoop. If we wait a couple of days, we might get a certain Winnipeg ex-pat player for free.

This would have happened a lot sooner if his career wasn't in a Gray area.

If the Bombers lose the next game, I can see them falling to 5th place in the rankings- maybe even lower.

According to 3downnation, the Tigr-Cats have the hots for both Hazleton and Gurley. Should be an interesting next day or two.

Which Wednesday? If Gurley does show, if he immediately badmouths the Argos, he is trouble.

To come back to the original theme of the thread, I suspect that the back-to-back games against the Beastly Lions will determine the Bomber and Shea`s fates. To put it in hip terms, the Bombers are trending downwards, and it may not be O`Shea`s fault that we do not have a standout MLB or receiver, but someone will have to pay for that.

You may want to lay in a case of rum and an IV drip with a big-bore needle.

Do we really want a Gurley-man or a manly-man?

"Any day now" meaning an undefined day at some point in the future. Right. Got it.

Not even gonna try after this weekend.

And the last two games the Bombers played are ample proof. It was happening against the Riders as well , but they got away with it.

A trip to Lourdes is the only hope for Willy and the Argos at this point, and a slim one at that.

Good assessment, but apart from the theoretical availability of Muamba, where do you find the upgrades? We need at least one on the DLine, probably at MLB and at receiver. I am pessimistic about Walters' ability to recruit difference-makers this late in the season.

We are probably going to make the playoffs if for no other reason than the eastern teams being so bad, but if we back into the playoffs with a 1 and 3 final record and look bad in losing in the first round, I would not assume O'Shea is safe,

I think Hall's defence works on the assumption that if the opposition starts deep in their own end, you can keep giving up the 10 yard gains and hope that the opposition will make a mistake and throw up an interception or fumble before they reach the Bomber end zone. When you get down to the Bomber red zone, the zones are collapsed and in theory the chances of turnovers increase. In theory.

I'm not advocating for turfing O'Shea, but the team has to not repeat the performance of the last game and go no worse than .500 from here on in. Walters has to know that he has to do what he has to do if it comes to that or he will be filling out pogey forms as well.

And now we are speculating whether O'Shea will be given a fourth year to learn what he still seems to have problems with.

Yup. If we fumble our way into the playoffs due to the weakness in the eastern conference, it will be a very short playoff appearance, and an embarrassing one. The Bombers have to earn their way or fans will tune them out.

No mistaking it, we are in tough now. The confidence the team and fans felt during the winning streak in which the Bombers got almost all the breaks has evaporated and the same deficiencies that plagued the team are front and center. Somehow, this has to get fixed and soon or we could go 1 & 3 to finish the season. That might good enough to save O'Shea's job but not enough to restore fan confidence. It will interesting to see if we have a new receiver in the lineup next game, even if he is a Lions castoff.

Maybe we could sign Denmark again?

I would have been more than happy to have him in blue and gold.
