It looks promising for Marve, at least O'Shea broke form last game in replacing Brohm before injury fell him. That's a first.

Da'Rel Scott will start in place of Cotton, according to O'Shea.

I will agree with anything that is pre-faced by "it's bloody well time".

Exactly we are 0-3 against the best two teams in the league only have to face Edmonton once more at home. 3-1 against the rest of the league. If we can win 7 or 8 games in the next eleven, we should make the playoffs. I doubt that a 9 and 9 season even with crossover potential gets us there with three teams in the east already with 4 wins. Gonna have to start counting the free squares on the bingo cards to see what our chances are for the post season. Sweeping the Riders is becoming critical.

Bucknor is not our biggest problem on D, Hurl is Rotate Lin-J Shell/Sherman and Turner/Thomas Leggett at SAM is an interesting thought, Sherman has the speed to be safety I'd like to see Sherman get another crack, whether LB or S. even if it was just in rotation. Last year he made an impact both in stripping balls and getting after the QB.

Unless you're willing to write off this seasons playoff run, they can't change the OC mid-season. Howell as interim or Buck (NO) are the only options available.

I wish we'd have gone after Rene Curran & signed him instead of this assinine "We have to play a Canadian at MLB" mentality. Your MLB sets the tone for the rest of the defense. if he's soft then the rest of the defense is soft. What we have now isn't good enough. If Curran's out there still available we need to bring him in. Pay him & be done with it. Hurl is a total "Mr In-Between", doesn't have the speed to get after the QB effectively and doesn't have the power to make an impact on the ball-carrier, he is the very definition of mediocre.

It's time for Wade to put his uniform back on and start playing dirty by having "informal" talks with potential OC relacements across the league, right now. Keep Marcel till the end of the season than kick him out the door the second it's over and forgo the reviews and associated delays that always leave the Bombers with sloppy seconds when it comes to coaching choices. Give the new man an entire off-season to build his team and to prepare for the over-haul of the offencive scheme that can benefit and protect Willy. If any other team upstages the Bombers with "star" co-ordinator signings in the off-season I'll be pissed. No more gambling on potential, get the best available or steal him away if neccesary.

This is what I don't understand, and maybe it's because they're both not micromanagers, but when Burke was here, our D sucked, yet he didn't seem to do anything to help Creehan it seemed. Now our special teams suck and it seems like MOS isn't helping out Tracey. What gives? Could be "rookie coach" syndrome, overwhelmed with the scope of managing the project as a whole.

Time to see what Da'Rel Scott or Tyler Thomas have to offer.

What drives me mad is the shot of the Bombers bench after the first Q with players hanging their heads and looking despondent with 3/4 of the game left to play. I would prefer they look either motivated or scared of losing their jobs. They need a coach or some vet. players with the ability to motivate and kick them out of their stupor. If the Bombers have to bring back Casey Creehan solely as head cheerleader and all-around ass kicker I'm all in favour.

Well sure, they're just doing what they were told to do on that particular play-call. That LB wasn't supposed to be there and neither had a clue that he might be their responsibility.

It's time for Walter's to step up with his bi-seasonal pep talk to re-iterate the game plan, because as it sits I honestly can't see how "this team" is ever going to beat "that team".

I an beginning to wonder how much of these problems can be attributed to the O-line guru Bob Wyliey. I am not convinced that the O-line problems come down to personnel but moreso play calling and system. How much of that falls into Wylie's lap because they had no answers for what Hamilton was throwing at them today. Bellefuile is the root of the problem... Wylie cannot call a screen or a pitch - teams know that MB has no response to blitzing other than max protect - watch the playcalls, there's almost never an 'out' - RB is either locked down blocking or we've emptied the backfield I was referring more to offencive blocking schemes in general as being faulty. I watched one play were two Bomber receivers setup up across the line from a Ti-Cat LB, they both ignored him, split their routes around him and rewarded him with a direct bee-line to Willy in the backfield for a sack.

He is Mike O'Shea's grandfather.

Imo the more Marve adapts his play to Marcel's system the more he will resemble Brohm in ineptitude. If the Bombers have to fire Marcel and O'Shea to get Condell on board for next year, it would be well worth it.

What is wrong with TSN setting their mics? This happens every game. Some stupid fan sits close to the mic & we get the pleasure of having to listen to whatever wingnut wants to get noticed. Why have the TSN broadcasts become so bad?? I complained about this to TSN before, but if more people did it would help. I had to listen to screeching from some female the whole first quarter. Kept hoping she would go horse, but being a Sask fan maybe she already is. Sure that wasn't just your wife nagging at you to get off your fat ass and do something?

I think the secondary and the LB's are going to have another good game and hold Collaros in check. Expecting a close game ending in the mid 20's. if the Bomber O has the ball last, I predict a win.

"Perfect storm".

Better yet, set a max. of 6 characters for their replies.

My memory is full of holes but I recall Brock's first two years in Blue playing for Bud Riley as being pretty brutal after taking over from Chuck Ealey. Starting in 1974 it was apparent that he had a cannon for an arm but he was sacked mercilessly and he had no idea of how to read a CFL defence. If ever a coach was rewarded with sticking it out with a rookie QB this was the case, as winning results did not materialize until 1976. It's hard to believe but Bud Riley was fired in 1977 with a record of 10-6 mainly because the Bombers could not progress in the playoffs. How picky they were in days of yore.

Another nail biter, so many games coming down to the last minute this year. Good!

Perfect 0-7!

Wow, Argos woke up.
