With Burris's very high price, and his tendency to disappear, it wouldn't have taken fans here too long to get down on him. He doesn't perform according to his pay grade although he is having a good year in Ottawa.

Well looks like MOS ain't going anywhere same as Walters according to Miller's last interview he thinks we are heading in the right direction and that it's going to take time to turn this around so unless MOS changes the way he operates MB is here at least until the offseason as well.
Hmmmm...if I start walking due north I will headed in the right direction for Paris, France if I cross the North Pole, but that doesn't mean it is the best road or that I will even survive. This is a pretty good analogy for how the Bombers are currently operating.

And here I thought it was either Scope or vanilla extract.Heard Hustler say, " Pilsner - the Saskatchewan champagne."

You may be onto something here. The Bombers should be forced to wear those monkey abortion uniforms every time they lose and until they win.Well if we wear them at least our unis will match our ugly play

May he find peace, and may his family be supported and comforted.

Not sure if Dyce has the experience to be a good head coach.

If you are drowning with three feet of water over your head, does it really matter which foot of water drowns you? The offense has stunk for the second season now and the defense has been shored up, but the infected teeth remain.Our defence was the best part of our game, but come on... 161 yards rushing against, 355 total yards, 37:45 time of possession for the Riders. Those are horrible stats for our defence especially against a team starting their 3rd string QB, who'd never won a CFL game. Got tired? Good defences stop the other team and get off the field. Ours didn't.
The Riders had the ball for 2/3 of the game and only managed two offensive TD's, with the first one coming at the end of the 3rd quarter. The defense did their job. They did get off the field.
If you wanna play the what if game:
What if special teams hadn't given up a TD and extended a Rider drive by penalty that lead to another
What if the Bomber defense scored a TD instead of taking penalties that extended Rider drives leading to another TD
If you really want to break it down, the Bomber special teams and defense hurt them more than their futile offense did.

The last post-game interview with O'Shea was the third one this year I listened to, and all were after lop-sided losses. O'Shea has sounded more defensive in each successive interview, but Sunday night he sounded fatalistic and lost as well. If O'Shea is feeling that way, imagine what kind of message is being sent to the players. Time for euthanasia, but if it doesn't happen by noon tomorrow, it gonna be a epic disaster right to the end of the season.

I don't know about all the Marcel hate here. It's hard to say exactly what went wrong. But I remember in the fourth quarter when we recovered Demski's punt, it looked like they had two deep passes called and Brohm didn't even get a chance to set his feet before he was sacked.
I know it's easy(er) to point your finger at a player, or a coach, or a system. But I said it the day that Willy got hurt (well ok, might have been a few days after) that though the injury sucked and would definitely hurt us, the good thing to take away from it was the fact that we would find out what kind of metal the team was made up of. How would the players and coaches react. Even if we didn't win a game - if they fought hard, competed, and were in the game, then at least that would give us (well me anyway) hope that we are on the right track.
Well, I think it's safe to say this team - and I'm not pointing fingers here as it is a team and everyone shoulders some blame - is showing it doesn't believe in themselves or their fellow teammates/coaches. MOS as pointed out, since a 5 - 1 start (someone said 7 -1 we weren't 7 - 1 we were 5 -1 and the wheels fell off) we've gone 5 - 17 or whatever. Firing anyone now won't help - but unfortunately it looks like another major house cleaning at the end of the year. O'Shea will be back in Toronto running Special teams or something, Kyle Walters will go back to being an assistant, and who knows what else will happen (Miller??).
I think the only silver lining here is that though he's know Zack - we do finally have a QB we can build around in Drew Willy. Though the way we protect him, he probably won't be around when the 'build' is complete.
Oh, Willy will be around for awhile, perhaps in a body cast and/or unrecognizable.

We're pretty much but not totally done for the season. What's left has to be all about prepping for next year (again) abd playing for pride of being a Bomber and being a pro.If we stand pat....season is over.
-
Can't fault the defence. If you have ever worked in a place where you are busting your bottom and a colleague or colleagues were humping the pooch, you would have an ides how angry and frustrated the defence is right now, and its gonna get worse unless BIG changes happen.

DoD, you need to change the title on the thread to "Another Post-Mortem".

As long as Bellefeuille remains, we will lose, maybe by a better score, but a loss is still a loss and for the eternal optimists among us, that ought to end any thoughts of playoffs. If Bellefeuille is canned and Nichols starts, we have a shot at an ugly win. Thar said, I do not see O'Shea tying the can to any of his coaches, and by doing so, will likely screw himself out of a job that he has proven ill-suited for.
-
Are you suggesting you want to see Brian Brohm in lingerie??
You may want to review the offensice game stats before trying to defend that statements. Its probably not all his fault, but he was nowhere good enough to be a starter in any league except maybe the Lingerie League.WTF...I don't understand this furor over why Brohm wasn't pulled. Why would they? He needs reps and quite frankly he wasn't that bad.
Its a fantasy of mine. Actually, I would like to see him anywhere but here.
-
Hajrullahu is probably repairable, Brohm is just dead weight.

Bob Irving is a good commentator but he is in a bind. If he really grills O'Shea, he gets terse, rote answers much as Doug Brown got from O'Shea in the post-game show. If the Bomber coaches are told to drop cliches and give pre-rehearsed answers, then Irving is scrooged, so he plays nice hoping to get a crumb once in a while.
-
Walters has upgraded the Canadian talent since his arrival, and that would include Westerman, Neufeld and so forth- not to elite (Calgary) level but much better than the Mack and Kelly eras. I suggest that Walters has another year to turn things around but beyond Hall and a couple of other assistant coaches, we need to flush the crapper. Our talent is not great but until we have competent coaches, we won't know how good they really are.
-
Given our current state of affairs, if Willy is anything less than 100%, is there any point to bringing him back before the O-line is a lot better and Bellefeuille's head is on a post in front of IGF?

So how can an expansion team in their second year be in a playoff spot with a better record than the Bombers? What process are the RedBlacks utilizing that they can start from scratch 1.5 years ago and be a more talented team than the Bombers today?
What will cleaning house now do?BOD replaced, Wade Miller fired, Walters fired, MOS fired. Rest of coaching staff gone. The only one who has done anything is Richie Hall. He has taken a defense that started slow and was inept and has molded a above average d, still a work in progress but a least there's progress. Have a feeling none of this will happened till after the season unless there's some token sacrifice, Pat Tracey i'm looking at you. No I think it will be statue quo for the rest of the season. I hope i'm wrong but this horror movie is far from over. And by the way i don't want to hear we would have won if Willy would have played, they would have killed us if Durant would of played.

THIS
You need to start right at the very top to clean house this time, or else the result will be just the same...
It won't salvage the season;
It won't bring back Willy;
It won't change the fact the Blue lack Canadian talent.
This is a process these guys aside from Bel-FAIL deserve another year wit ha healthy Willy and solid qb and some Canadians maturing specificlly Gossen on the o-line.
This seaon was over after last weeks game now it will be a string of blow outs wit ha win or two sprinkled in to give us fans the faint hope that things will get better but there is no quick fix and that is sad but true. Don't forget these guys are cleaning up Mack's mess, which is akin to cleaning up a nasty oil spill!
Better coaching plain and simple. They also cut dead weight (and some talented guys but mostly dead weight)
If we finsih below Ottawa this eason, there will be no redemption for even Walters in spite of some of the good work he has done.

No aces in this hand. Time for a shuffle and re-deal.

Yup. Great. The deck chairs look just fine in their new positions. We're just fine now. Just fine. Move along, nothing to see here. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain....
