where did you read that. Heard it reported on TSN radio.

A rumour reported by Lawless this morning has Popp negotiating for Kevin Glenn-probably for any Alouette QB currently on their roster plus a draft pick.

Fixed that for you.

Because O'Shea

Another reason why Bellefeuille is dead weight. Game after game, we continue to see the dame things with no improvement.

How have you decided to blame the coach and not the player for that? Absolutely. Who else is supposed to watch to make sure the players are where they are supposed to be?The player. You're expecting Osh to run to the Calgary sideline and line his guy up correctly? O'Shea has the responsibility to oversee the alignment. Period. If he didn't notice it or he didn't instruct the player (Moore?) to line up properly, its still on O'Shea.

I think it was Moore.

How have you decided to blame the coach and not the player for that? Absolutely. Who else is supposed to watch to make sure the players are where they are supposed to be? They should know themselves. Coaches can't line them up. If players know what to do why need coaches?

No timeouts in the last 3 minutes, I believe. But someone could have suddenly gone down with a leg cramp.

Well, there it was. If we needed any more convincing that O'Shea needs to go, that bonehead oversight in not getting his people lined up properly with the game on the line ought to convince all but the delusional.

And that may be an optimistic assessment.

I believe it falls under the "Dey tuk er jerbs!" laws. terk deerrr jeeerrrrbs! Uff da!!!

I expect the team to compete from the opening whistle, leave it all out the field, one play at a time, give it their all, and not quit until the game is over. Did I miss any cliches?

Since this thread seems to be serving as a gameday thread, over at the Stamp's fan forum, the consensus is that they will score about 40 points and the Bombers will rack up no more than 20. Of some note, the recently departed Jasper Simmons was described as a very good rah-rah locker room/sidelines guy who couldn't crack the roster in Cowgary. The speculation was that the Bombers will really miss his energy. Sounds like what many here have been expecting- another blowout.

Can someone donate to that online?

I'm hoping against hope that the Bombers have one upset win in them this year, and that it might be this game. I'd better go now, take my meds and lie down until this passes.

Its getting harder and harder to look forward to games this year with excitement. There may be an Australian Rules Lawn Darts tourney on somewhere. And there's the knitting channel's purling finals from Yorkton Saskatchewan ....

Being able to identify Canadian players as such is a big part of my loyalty to the Bombers and CFL. No Canadian players, little interest- I may as well follow the Arena Football League.

It seems a bit odd for the US government to get all sweaty about this sort of thing, considering the low numbers involved and that the same government had been holding seminars at taxpayer expense to tell American businesses how to move their manufacturing and service jobs offshore.

And some of us are AWOGs (Angry White Old Guys) who need to get worked up about something, for chrissakes.

Yup. Calgary is not the juggernaut they were the last couple of years and very beatable. The difference is the coaching and the number of brain cramps, but we ought to be able to tell pretty soon in the game if the Bombers' hearts are in it.

You are ignoring what I see as key aspects: O'Shea presumably chose his assistant coaches and at least three have proven to be very poor choices. What makes you think he will choose better given another opportunity? He took two months to mull over whether to fire an obviously horrible defensive coach before he pulled the trigger, and then there are his really poor assessments of his quarterbacks and choices of game personnel. Add these up and it sure as spit looks like we need a new head coach. oh noes! Two whole months? also wasnt he essentially saddled with MB? Hall has been outstanding as a DC as well.. he was an O'shea pick i'm assuming? It would depend if one out of three is OK- pretty much like the Bomber win/loss record on his watch.

If the team noise you mean is gagging and retching, then, yes. I'm guessing he was referring to the Jets... I assumed that but since this is a Bomber forum...

Well, physically for sure.
