Geez guys, make up your minds. So basically, you want us to win but still play crappy? That sounds like a plan. And lose two or three starting NI's while you're at it, if you please.

Muamba would not have improved our playoff chances a great deal, so its a loss if he signs elsewhere, but not a disaster. As others have opined, our needs are the O-line and probably import receivers. Andrew Harris would be a real plus, and I don't think its unrealistic to see Winnipeg as a good option for him next year. That would be a welcome ratio-buster.

I believe there are three different criteria to measure a coach's performance- his game management, win/loss record and his judgement of players and subordinate staff. I do not see any of these flattering O'shea.

When Willy's injury was announced, it was pretty clear that it would take a small miracle for him to return to the active roster this season, let alone be game-ready. It was borderline dishonest for the Bombers to pretend it was a realistic possibility. What you see behind center is what we got and will have this year.

Could pass some of your stuff around for the rest of us?

A few days ago someone asked if someone could post a comparison of the team with Willy finishing a game vs games when he did not start. That ought to provide grist for the mill.

We are not going to know the rationale for these moves for a while if ever, but on the surface these are more puzzlements.

Given the past decisions about which QB to play or not to play, I wouldn't bet on any of the backups seeing the field this year under any but the most dire of circumstances.

Muamba obviously has the right to go where and when he wants, but he has become almost irrelevant to the 2015 CFL season.

Even factoring in youthful enthusiasm, you have to question Marve's common sense in trying for a pro football career with knee problems as bad as his were and probably still still are. Personally, I would rather be able to walk around pain-free and be able to squat on a throne than risk fully destroying my knee(s) playing or trying to play for a minor league for peanuts.

Past performance suggests that the answer is "no". It will take a minimum of 3 more months if it happens at all.

The lack of half-time adjustments last year were obvious all season to many here in this forum. The 2014 defence had a lot of other problems but that lack was glaring. The same inability to adapt to the other team's defence on the fly or during the half-time break has continued for the most part right into this year. For the life of me, if it was and is so obvious to amateurs, I cannot understand why O'Shea, Walters and even Miller could not pick it out.

In the chat room during the game, myself and one other person immediately posted that the Rogers catch was very questionable, even before the replay showed it as incomplete. Admittedly, we had the benefit of a good camera angle, but surely the Bombers could have similar views during the game action.

No way Montreal trades Cato. A late round pick and the Riders choice of Crompton or Marsh makes more sense.Cato had one good game; his first game. He isn't very good.He's a good young prospect, he may not be ready to be a full time starter but he's still only 23. Giving up the only QB on their roster with the ability to be a long term starter for mediocre never was Kevin Glenn would be idiotic at best.Except Glenn on the Als with that D could = Grey Cup and make Popp look like a genius. Popp has a big ego. With Collaros on the sidelines and questions about Harris and Smilin' Hank, Glenn could make a borderline team like the Alouettes a contender to go to the Grey Cup.

No guarantees, but a lot of people are auditioning for the next-year jobs. Something like this trade would have to be okayed all the way up, I would bet.

Sask may say otherwise, but the chances of them recovering from such a horrible start and making the playoffs is very. very slim. One way or another, their future is not with Glenn behind center and they are also starved for talent, so trading Glenn for someone of value makes sense.

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?
