If we had an even average offence, we would have beaten both Calgary and Hamilton in hte last go-around. Hall is doing the best he can with what he has.

It would be monumentally stupid to change OCs in the middle of the season, unless you are going to hire from within his own staff. The changes in terminology and new playbook would take weeks to implement and months to master. We would be effectively taking ourselves out of the playoff race by doing so. Wanna see a crap offence? Change OCs and playbooks midseason.
Sad to say, unless Marve is as good as we hope, we may be out of the playoff picture by mid-September, and if our offence still sucks at that point, we may as well tie the can to Bellefeuille. I suspect the end will come a little sooner for Chamblin.

Agreed. Brohm has had enough chances to prove he is a keeper and has shown nothing. He is just taking up space and if we cannot find someone better, that would be a sad state of affairs. Canning Brohm and possibly Stoudemire would send a message to the rest of the team that they need to perform or else.

At this point if all else fails, I'd bring back Max Hall and a bag of coke just for the entertainment value.
The plays will be called based on the visions he has after each line he snorts
Worse yet, the sight of all those lines on the field would really distract him.

The Cavalry is not coming, so grit your teeth and hang on folks. Who we got is who we will have for the rest of the season, for better or ill.
You don't think Walters brings in an NFL cut?
The odds are overwhelming that any QB we bring in will either not be able to adapt or will be unable to pick up the game quickly enough to be an asset this season.

As much as I would love to see Khari back here, I believe he was offered an OC job before and declined, preferring to wait for a HC gig. On the other hand, if he was an assistant coach, he could well inherit the head coach job if O'Shea doesn't survive.

Marve at quarterback, Greaves back in for injured Neufeld at left guard, jhomo Gordon for injured darvin Adams at receiver for bombers
(Moan). Is it legal for Neufeld to both practice and play in bubblewrap? Or maybe ride a Segway during sprints and drills?

Reality sucks sometimes but it doesn't go away.

Apparently Turner and Peach will be available for Friday, but I am hoping we will field the same D-line as we did against BC. Turner and Peach are just not good enough.

Wonder if portis comes back
Yes, we are so desperate that this is not inconceivable.
"Inconceivable" can also apply to a woman who cannot get pregnant...or is that "inscrutable"?
-
Don Matthews didn't win any Mr. Congeniality prizes, either, just Grey Cups. And he was the winningest coach we've had since Dave (God bless him) Ritchie.

Is Danny Mac staying in game shape? He's already under contract with the Bombers...
He looks like the same shape as when he played. as for being in game shape, thats a bit of a stretch...
Danny's game shape was pretty much oval.
-
soo many awful choices on that list. Idk how people forget about plops offesnive play calling soo quickly. Worse then MB imop.
Id promote buck pierce for the rest of the season, and do some serious searching for a good OC who can run a CFL offense in the off season. That said if MB gets canned mid season I think they promote buck and then turn him into full OC in the off season.
Thats assuming we dont clear house in the coaching staff, which i dont think happens this year or off season.
Any one know what danny barret is up to?
Danny Barrett was a decent coach and a pretty good QB in his day, but he treated media and fans like they were invading Nazis.

There is a very real likelihood that Willy is looking at next year before he throws another football in anger, so if Marve aint it, we are stuck with hoping that Dom Davis has brought something to the party.
-
Our team is simply not mean enough, tough enough, or coached up enough...... to run with Hamilton and Edmonton, yet
And gosh darn it, people dont like us!
Just slap them around....and make them like it...
The beatings will continue until morale improves
-
Trouble is that most of those lowly backups, turn out to be one hit wonders.....
Well if Marve gets us a hit, Davis another hit and we keep going this could work.
The problem with your scenario is that we would need nine more quarterbacks to finish the season plus more for the playoffs.

Impacts have a cumulative effect if there is not the time to heal between them. If somebody gets hit/jumped on often enough by someone else 80 pounds heavier, something bad is going to happen. Its like Russian Roulette- sooner or later the hammer is going to come down on the loaded chamber. Willy got hit 5 times in the first half and it was only a matter of time. If this or something like this didn't happen last game it would probably have happened soon after.
-
To keep things in perspective- Richie Hall's defence is performing well, especially considering the liabilities (Hurl, Leggett, Bucknor) he is saddled with, so that leaves the offensive offense and special teams. There may be an argument about how well we can do in Willy's absence but there is no possible excuse for the special-teams cock-ups we have seen this year.
-
Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, and Saskatchewan all are playing with 2nd and 3rd string qb's. so the world has not come to an end. Who knows maybe the Bombers get lucky and find a qb with NFL cuts coming in the next few weeks.
Each of those quarterbacks have previous CFL exposure .. expecting an American QB to come in here and make any sort of impact without having previously experienced the league is not in the realm of realistic.
(Smith was on the Argos PR last year)
And Cato?

Reading up on a tibial plateau fracture. Willy is done for the season.
And that knee joint is going to be painful for the rest of his life and almost certainly arthritic.

If I were the Bombers and Marve can execute it, I would be tempted to go no-huddle for at least the first few plays to unsettle the TO defence. Argos will be expecting Marve to run and will have their linebackers up tight to the line, so the 5-8 yards slants, crossing patterns and hooks ought to be open a lot. Their safety will probably be brought up for coverage in that area, so if Veltung can break one up and out and Marve can hit him, we should get a few good gains.
