So long as our fate is in our hands, we will have nothing to complain about. If it gets to the point where you have to hope other teams screw up worse than you do, you are in trouble.

Harris certainly didn't look as dominant this year as previously, so either he is not being used properly, his heart is not in it, or his O-line sucks (there's a lot of that going around). He would be welcome here for sure.

So long as Bellefeuille is calling the offense, we will never know how good Nichols can be. It has to be really chafing for a decent quarterback to be forced to run a popgun offense when he can see how better plays could make big yards and win games.

Dare we hope? I volunteer to drive down, pick him up and ferry him back to the "Peg.

There was really no reason for Lirim to be replaced until last week. Hajrullhu was getting worse each successive week. Last game was just a progression.

Nope. Stevedore Steve.

And it took how long for this to come to pass?

haha you think some drunken fans get rowdy during losses now... imagine this scenario! But it would make for some memorable games, even if the Bombers lost badly.

This is not a given. Ottawa can field a playoff team as a two year old expansion and other teams have turned things around in a couple of year with the right people in charge, so who knows? If Tillman returns and the Riders make the playoffs next year, I will be apoplectic.

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! Pick us! Pick us!

Thanks. This forum was beginning to sound like the old OBB forum. The ad hominem attacks were multiplying.

Walters has not been spectacular but has made some good moves: Westerman, Wild, Darvin Adams, Nichols etc but not enough to qualify for GM of the year. He merits another year in the GM office.

Wasn't there a folk song about him from way back?

I don't understand this. Are you implying that they're better simply because they're catching more touchdowns? Is that sort of thing even legal?

No doubt in the history of the CFL there have been hard coaches who have been saddled with assistants who were not of their choices, but if any candidate for head coach agreed to that he would deserve the disaster which inevitably would follow. I not longer have a high opinion of O'Shea as a head coach,but I do not think he would be dumb enough to accept that. Good or bad, O'Shea is the master of his own fate.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

And the other sub-par games before that?

If O`Shea is kept for next season, he might surprise and do great, but the odds are against him. I do not recall any coach who got off to such a horrible two-year record and rebounded to be a good coach.

Shhhh. don`t ruin it for us. Its a nice fantasy.

Absolutely no. Both Chick and Owens have more of their playing days behind them than in front of them, and like it or not, we are now rebuilding for the future.

We desperately need a replacement for Walker. Lets hope Scott is both good and durable.

BC is not that good this year, but they seem to have found a saviour in Jennings, but we have seen flashes of that sort of thing in Montreal and Saskatchewan. Ritchie Hall appears to be a good enough defensive coach to get his people ready. I don't have much confidence in Bellfeuille's ability to take advantage of a weak BC defence.

Maybe we need to start a contest as to which cliches O'Shea will use following each game.

I think he is going to need help to figure out what the heck is going on with him and/or his game.

That honesty would be refreshing.
