Do we have anyone we'd be willing to trade who could fetch us anything close to a first? Willy might get them a first rounder.

I disagree, the Bombers didn't get 3 pts. from a FG and Ottawa scrimmaged at the 40 and drove the field for a TD. That's a 10 pt. swing....right before the half.

I noticed no Good/Bad separation here. Not surprised. Total brain cramp by MOS on the 3rd and 5. He said in the post game interview he didn't think Lirim could kick a FG into the wind like that. Okay seems like a decent answer only one thing missing - we have a punter, his name his Lirim. I've seen a lot of games in my lifetime and I would not put the wind in this one in the top 100. Was it that bad he could not punt the ball? Maybe a handfull of games have punters been told to not punt due to wind. Stunningly bad decision on O'Shea's part. On what does he base his faith the Bomber O can gamble on 3rd and 5 and succeed? Is it they're precision in the redzone or their 2-point conversion success rate of 0-52!

Etch doesn't need to be fired, O'Shea just has to put his foot on his throat until he sees the light. Etch has done a number of good things, he's built a great D-backfield and he's done well developing Natl. talent. His D is designed to swarm to the ball and this approach works great when the Bombers have a comfortable lead or when playing against a team without a good running attack. Unfortunately the Bombers never have a lead and every other team is now game planning to run the ball straight up his yazoo!

Isn't that a tweet from 2 or 3 weeks ago?

Interesting opinion. http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/video?binId=1.1201969 In other Stamps news Quincy Butler deported. http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/stamps-db-quincy-butler-no-longer-eligible-to-work-in-canada-1.2036100

I dunno, I personally don't associate the average parka clad Grey Cup goer with cutting edge cool even if it plays out under a dome. I've been to 4 of the frosty parties and can't do better than resurrecting Trooper for one more kick at the can before they kick the bucket. "We're here for a good time".....you fookin bet we are and Justin Bieber is shiiiite!

With a little bit more sober second thought I bet O'Shea sticks with the coordinators he's got next year. Unless there is friction behind the scenes that we know nothing about can't see him turfing any of "his guys". He defends his players to the nth degree so I don't see him taking a different approach with his coaching staff. Doubt the discussion will even be raised in the off-season but if it was this is what he might say. "We're on track and making incremental progress, team improved significantly this season and will continue to do so next year."

Projector in Willy's helmet that projects the play on Morley's butt?

Surprised Kromah would be taken out with no backup for Kuale, seems to me Sears and Unamba are redundant as they're backing up the same positions. Knapp continues to fall further down the depth chart, not looking good for his chances next season.

Anybody want to debate Pat Tracey's tenure?

Who? What? Huh?

How about starting off with baby steps and giving Volny 5 carries per game before jumping all in with the plan.

At this point of the season why would Edm. want to help the RR and potentially lose out on a home playoff game and all those $$$?

If the ORBs give up on Burris it's a colossal admission of a mistake in signing him as the franchise player and Desjardin is never going to admit that even on the day he's fired. unless they can replace Burris with a better QB getting rid of him makes no sense whatsoever and diminishes their chances of improvement in the future. The Ottawa games are still selling out so they've got some leeway to improve the team. They do need to organize a major airlift of American talent and I would be surprised if that already isn't under way.

Shut the hell up! We just got rid of the infestation, don't be inviting them back with taunts.

Three wars back we called Sauerkraut "liberty cabbage" and we called liberty cabbage "super slaw" and back then a suitcase was known as a "Swedish lunchbox." Of course, nobody knew that but me. Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling. LOL Nonetheless you still need yer nap.

Can you please provide a link to this? Can't find it anywhere including the Wpg. Sun.

There's a lot of talent in Saskie. Probably more than any other town in Canada. Including the doctors. Welcome Rod. We've been waiting for you to join this forum for along time.

The men in the tinfoil hats would surmise that the CFL needs the eastern teams to win and they must have blocked the communication channel that the WBB's were using ensuring that the call couldn't be communicated from MB to Willy. There's really no other explanation. Am I the only one that saw Austin on the sidelines with rabbit ears and a HeathKit?

But thats not what they asked or said that pissed him off, seriously dude,, the cjob reporter on the sidelines keith mccullough or whatever his name is tweeted something he thought o'shea said when o'shea actually didn't say it... Wouldn't that piss you off too? If not then you haven't been paying much attention to how O'shea operates. Wont throw players under the bus and the tweet the CJOB reporter sent out implied that Oshea threw Lirim under the bus when in fact he didn't. The tweet is gone now too so what does that tell you exactly? McCullough was dead wrong. Otherwise the tweet would still be there for all to see. Oshea spent 15 seconds talking about that tweet and hasn't since. Done and Done. And I dont think he should have spent any time responding to it. Why was it a priority for this team that he was showed a "tweet" immediately after the game? I'm not sure he was showed the tweet. From the final gun to the actual interview, there were a ****load of people that he would have encountered that may have brought it up. Doesn't Keith do the sidline report for CJOB? He might have actually asked him on his way back to the locker room I suspect he was lurking near the Bomber bench and probably heard the exchange between Lriam and O'Shea and just condensed it to fit the twitter format. O'Shea was probably most upset because he considered that a private moment not for public consumption.

they'd buy the ink by the barrel with nickels, which had bees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in Zeppelins, dropping coins on people, and one day I seen J.D. Rockefeller flying by. So I run up the house with a big washtub and... Anyway, about my washtub. I'd just used it that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a walking-bird. We'd always have walking-bird on Thanksgiving, with all the trimmings: cranberries, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called baseball... they'd buy the ink by the barrel with nickels, which had bees on them. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.

Thank you Mr. Burns, it's time for you nap.

You just don't get it. That's not his mantra. We all know it's not just another game, he knows it as well. That doesn't mean he's going to say it, much like how he said we'd be the same team with Brohm under the controls if he ended up getting the start tomorrow when we obviously would not be. Not that difficult to understand how O'Shea handles himself in the press. I fully get his mantra but O'Shea has to realize he's in the entertainment business and not politics, so as the Bombers only spokesman he owes the fans and the media a modicum of respect in providing valid "real-time" references in regard to the Bombers status during his press conferences. Otherwise fans and media will begin to tune out "his message" once the playoff hopes fade and the "new coach is cool" infatuation wears off. Once the media is starved for relevant info. they begin to fill their columns with drivel like Wiecek has recently. Wrong again (on many levels but I'll keep it short as possible). O'Shea is not in the entertainment business. O'Shea is in the coaching business. You could say the players themselves are, but it's not up to O'Shea to provide the entertainment (and where politics come from is beyond me - Not even sure how you reach that conclusion). O'Shea doesn't care if the fans or media tune out his message, and he shouldn't care. The ONLY message O'Shea needs to be concerned about is the message he provides to his players, which is why he conducts himself the way he does in front of the podium. It's the right way whether you like it or not. Excuse me but you must have fallen asleep during your moderators 101 class. You have your opinion and I have mine, doesn't make either of us right or wrong, we just have different perspectives. If you want to act as though only your opinion is correct than please take off your moderators cap before posting so that you don't discredit this forum. When O'Shea's salary is ultimately derived from approval of the product he is putting on the field for which the fans pay to view for entertainment value only, that is the first clue that O'Shea works in the entertainment industry. Second clue. Like it or not O'Shea appears on TV and in print at least once a week speaking to the viewers and the press as part of his contractual obligation to convey information regarding a product he wishes to sell, "Bomber football" which can be classified as nothing but entertainment. If those duties do not go well as with Mike Kelly, his performance in other aspects of his job may not matter very much. Ultimately every coach will keep or lose his job depending on how well entertained the fans are. Not surprisingly most fans derive much more pleasure from winning than they do from losing.
