I don't disagree with you.
Let me put this in a slightly different way.....In my opinion the Bombers need a new OC, O'Shea needs a little more experience, and a couple player upgrades and this is a very good team. The OC is what's really holding this team back. We're not far off.
The OC is absolutely terrible.... staying the course with him this year... has made it much more difficult for this team to win games

Picard wasn't pulled. Upper body injury.One blocked kick
One partial blocked kick
5-5 on FG
2-2 on converts
Great KO's
Some good returns
The kind of special teams that we had all envisioned, when MOS came aboard.
Picard pulled (finally) and signs of emotion and passion on the sidelines, tonight. Interesting to see if this was a "turn the corner game" for O'Shea, moving forward

Picard had an upper body injury. Goossen is ready to start. Didn't miss a beat with him in there. His snaps didn't float either like Picard's.i was yelling at the tv to snap the ball, i thought they were close to being called for a time count , he did the right thing by calling the timeout
i see goossen played the whole 2nd half, did anyone see what happened

Not so sure about that. He was just about league average on FGs going into last weeks game against Edmonton.
Hajrullhu was getting worse each successive week. Last game was just a progression.
There was really no reason for Lirim to be replaced until last week.And it took how long for this to come to pass?

Does Chris Jericho still have his band?

Yep, similar to goalies. They're a little weird
That's because he's crazy. Most kickers are in some way. This may be a good sign :-) .
Like I'm not trying to be a rooster (the alternative was understandably censored) contrary to what most people may want to believe. If it so happens Castillo turns out to be our kicker for the next 5-7 years, perhaps longer, fantastic. That being said I'm not going to proclaim him to be a kicking savior off of one game. You can make a very, very long list of athletes, football or otherwise that have had one solid game, or one solid debut, and accomplished a whole lot of nothing afterwards.
Why take anything with a grain of salt lol. Jump in with both feet. Sergio for president/ceo/gm/hc/oc/dc and emporor!
One game lol. Granted a fantastic one game, but still...ONE GAME. May Mike Kelly's quote of a schizophrenic fan base live in infamy.So funny because we said the same things about Lirim last year. Hilarious. Love this fan base.
Anyone remember Rob Pikula's game with us when Westwood got hurt? What happened after...
Just a general observation, he seems to have quite the routine that he goes through from the moment he steps on the field, to the moment the ball is kicked. Rather interesting I thought.

Well I just find it sad that a so called "fan" would intentionally miss the Bombers biggest game of the season. Family commitments, or other commitments like work or whatever I understand.
I'm just saying I don't think it is very productive to make judgements on the fans. You should know that fans are fickle. There are plenty of people that are staying away from games but they are frustrated. It doesn't change that many of these fans want the team to succeed.
I have no problem in seeing the issues with this team. But the team is very close, although you're right the rebuild is taking a little longer than it should. Either way, the "true fans" who gave up and decided not to watch last nights game sure lost out.
Ah the old casting dispersion upon other fans. "True fans" shouldn't judge others. You do realize that some of these "true fans" don't even have season tickets right? When are you and others going to realize that each person is going to approach a team differently? I cannot blame people for not wanting to watch or go to games. History says they are going to waste their time. However, it doesn't change the fact that most if not all of these "not true fans" want the team to succeed. Many or most of these "haters" know it shouldn't take more than 25 years to build a competitive team. At least two teams built a winner in the time the current regime has been in power and both had worse records than the Bombers.Bastion, Briggs, Castillo, Wild, Stouds and Westerman really impressed this game. O'Shea a wonderful job of coaching. Sucks for those who chose not to watch this game, because they just gave up on the Bombers this season. Not true fans imo.
I'm a little concerned with how we'll manage the ratio next week with Richards, JFG and Kohlert all injured. Bastion our only healthy Canadian WR. Hope Kohlert can play.
Some fans just don't know how to step back and take a good hard look and realize the staff they like so much are just not that good.
I unfortunately had to miss much of the first half and could only listen to a majority of the second half. I am not a fan of the current regime and see lots wrong and do not believe this regime can build a winner. Despite this I still want the team to win.
But intentionally missing this game. Sorry, in my opinion that's not a true fan.

Bombers are a couple pieces from being a very good team. Could easily have 7-8 wins already this year. Hope that the bounces that went against us so far this season go our way the last 3 games. Two more wins could get us into the playoffs.
One good call among so many crappy ones and people are willing to turn a blind eye. This team is 5-10 and has only beaten sub .500 teams. No matter what people think of their performances in the last three games this team is a long way from being good.
Nobody's gonna give him the love but he saved our season all on his own.
Stone cold call and the cajones the size of grapefruits.How 'bout MOS single handedly saving our season with the 3rd down gamble fake kick??? **** the haters.
I suspect though most will be happy with bumbling and stumbling along with the current regime just because MOS, Walters and co. are all really good charlatans. It isn't people being haters it is all about the real world and no matter how you cut it the Bomber are not a good team. Of course people are huge fans of mediocrity or less here which is why this very mediocre or less regime will remain in power and the Bombers will continue to hemorrhage fans and money. They are just lucky that they GC to save them from posting a loss this year.

Agreed. Keep the momentum going!So we shut the site down for a few hours next game too. Superstitious

So who's getting a Sergio Castillo jersey?

Bye-bye Lirim. All the best in the NFL.

Washington looking like a little boy out there.

Is there a band called "The Disapointments"?Let's just say the halftime show will be following the trend of the 2015 Blue Bomber season.

Agree 100% about the part where O'Shea needs a GM who can mentor him. Good post.What I desperately wish for is an experienced GM that could sit O'Shea down and mentor him. Explain how loyalty is great, but winning is greater. I don't think that Walters has the chops to do that and as a result the team suffers because of O'Shea's misplaced loyalty to coaches and players that just aren't good enough. He may just have to learn the hard way that keeping coaches and players that aren't that good, but who really love you just means that you'll have lots of guys willing to carry stuff out to your car as you clean out your office.

Cole Manhard then...
If it was a porn star name, I don't think 'hart' would be at the end. Just sayin'.
Sounds like a porn star name.Cole Manhart is a spectacular name.

O'Shea is a freaking genius. He played the entire league all season, including the fans and media.

Nice post. Goossen and Stoudermire both played because of injuries to Picard and Kohlert.
