Stickem

Firstly Dickenson has not removed Bo...cuz he didn't have to ...Maas didn't remove Riley because he didn't have to....They didn't have to because those teams haven't experienced the same poor play as our quarterback has shown...And that's where we differ...You seem to think that Nichols is not to blame for any of the Bomber losses when in fact he's not been the same qb. of last year...Tell you what IF Matt has a stellar performance against the stamps tomorrow and has a respectable outing, I'll admit I'm off base....IF he doesn't and looks the same as the Ottawa game then you won't have to admit that changing qbs. was the proper move to make or not, because it won't just be me asking for a change ...In that event Streveler MIGHT get some playing time

Hey first of all do I call your postings bull$hit .. well after reading your reply I'm going to start..'Gives the starter extra rope'...What the hell kind of coaching is that....So I'm admitting as a coach he's going to fail...so I let him hang and hang himself at the expense of the rest of the club....Sure glad you're not running the show...That kind of archaic thinking belongs in file 13... If we see a repeat performance like Nichols was giving us last game...(the supposed leader of this team) AND we refuse to put in a replacement who is more than able, then that says a lot about the coaching on this club...The boos that we heard will really start getting loud, you can put your money on that, and those boos should be shared equally between a bad performance and a bad coach.....Hopefully we've learned a bit from that last game AND we give Cal. a bloody good scare or actually win it, then a lot of this will go away....Another showing like we had against Ottawa and you better get out the ear plugs.

The sad thing is with the Nichols situation, I believe no matter how Matt is stinking the joint out, this head coach will never make the change to Streveler...That is not how O'Shea rolls....He proved that in the last game and that is a very bad aspect of this coach....The first concern should be WINNING ...not worrying about hurting a players feelings

When you're loyal to a fault and really want to be just one of the guys (that's the way I see Mike) it's difficult to turn on the discipline switch...I know the players luv him, but I would rather have a guy who can lay it on the line when players need it (within reason) and produce a winner...I doubt this mollycoddling will ever produce a Cup and I doubt that O'Shea will ever change his ways..soooooo we drift in obscurity....Something has to change,or 'the one and dun's' will just be a regular habit of this team...

This current gang of coaches believe you go to the wall with inferior players like Lankford until it hurts.... *see Roc Carmichael of 17...Hurts us on the field,standings and hurts the club in the locker room...You can't tell me that players aren't noticing the fact we have better on the roster and yet continue to beat a dead horse.... I don't know if they'll play Lankford again against the stamps BUT if it is the case, higher ups like Miller must be wondering what the hell is going on here

My belief is that Matt is suffering from 2 things.... Firstly..I don't think he's a 100 percent and therefore his mobility, which wasn't great to begin with, is suffering...He doesn't make that great an effort to get outside and throw... Also he is definitely gun shy when it comes to running up the middle because of his recent injury, even if there's a hole a semi could roll through...Taking that all into consideration I give Nichols the warrior award for hanging in there BUT ...just hanging in there is to the detriment of the team....He's a sitting duck in the backfield and he knows it...His passing game is not quick or crisp enough lately...He seems to also be hesitant and is definitely off on his long throws.... Secondly ..I know Matt will never admit it but I think he's suffering a bit of anxiety due to his injury and poor play AND he knows quite well that there's a young gun chomping at the bit waiting his turn IF he can't go...That situation might lead to a bit of 'looking over one's shoulder' and mental lapses and anguish...I know Nichols is a professional through and through BUT the thought of losing one's position or job is very disconcerting to any individual.... Lastly IF Matt doesn't improve his game and IF Streveler has to take over, I hope he AND our head coach are professional enough to accept that situation for the betterment of this club

Not a good sign when it appears nobody is commenting in great numbers on that crappy, disappointing effort put in by our club.....Management better take note that when disinterest and disenchantment set in it's a helluva thing to reverse...A lot of Bomber fans with heads down and dejected after that non-appearance by the team....Lot's of questions being asked and the fans better start hearing some good answers

I hope you're wrong BUT if it becomes more than a possibility, I would rather we part with our genius coach rather than a future star quarterback

Not only was it a dumb move to take Streveler out (who was doing quite well) O'Shea puts Matt back in who was possibly another hit away from a 6 gamer after being injured a couple of plays previous...All of this with 3 minutes to go and the game already in the books...What genius coaching

Okay then, thankyou Tommy....we didn't know what we had till we lost ya...helluva great little qb. and very cerebral ..Thought the way he left was disgraceful on our part

Sad to say and I'll reiterate that what has already been said here...'we are NOT a Cup contender'...After all of these years since O'Shea was hired this team is an under performer...There's talent on this team.....lot's of it..BUT it is not being deployed effectively...that's on coaching....To think we're substandard in a 9 team league, after 5 years of this current coach, is abysmal at best...It looks like we're headed for another disappointing year after playing a club that we thought we were on par with, kick our butts...Not good enough Mike O'Shea

Poor coaching decisions are beginning to look like the hallmark of this coach...Looking at him on the sidelines, I'm left wondering if he's actually totally aware of the games ebb and flow...He looks dazed and confused and doesn't exactly emulate the type of confidence level his players need to see....I think he'll be reassessed at the end of the year and if we haven't progressed to a point where we win at least in post season, I think Mike O'Shea will be shown the door....The players may luv him but a lot of fans are currently disenchanted and they pay the bills

Sounds like they're adding tires to the fire already raging in the dumpster....I doubt the fans in Riderville know what the hell is going on...I don't think the management knows what the hell is going on ....The players must be totally confused....Nice job Jones LOL...Hope they keep it up till Labour Day

Yep...look for the fallout in Mont. ….Jackson???Lewis???..I could see Carter wanting to be on the same club as Johnny Football...orrrrr will he end up in the 'new' league???? One never knows with Duron

Have to agree on Loffler....he isn't costing us but he's far from the guy we drafted and had such hopes for...His first year was terrific.....then he started tailing off to where he is playing 'just good enough' to hold a spot...Disappointed in his performance so far this year and hope he can turn it around orrrrr if not we might be looking for someone to upgrade

Nichols did not have a good game.....he needs to be better to be considered a Cup contender...I'm not sold on Sayles …. Banks was money and made Randal look like chump change...didn't care for his play in that one....We still have some holes on this club that are keeping us out of the winners circle...Bighill was top notch...easily the best MLB in the league and heading for MVP...Can't say enough about Harris...he's a one man wrecking machine when he gets the ball and he made the Cat defenders look very inept on more than one occasion...Overall I think we should be pleased with the effort and second place headed for the top rung ain't too bad at all

You can include confidence in 'ownership' as well...When your head coach AND owner have one foot out of the door, it's difficult for players to see any long term future with this club..They're treading water at best

That one was over in the first quarter...then Cal. went into cruise control...Beat down for sure and the natives were really twitching in their seats thinking 'what the hell was that' … and murmuring 'I thought we were a first place club'....LOL....The real soft spots on that club are starting to appear in great number

Argo's were definitely keying on Andrew....they over compensated and paid the price...Lapo called a good game and it becomes a little easier when you have all of the horses to do it

Toronto doesn't want to come back here anymore...…..delivered another shellacking that will last awhile I'd say...heh heh

Well Thompkins improved the position left by a weak performer by about 500%....It's nice to have all of your weapons loaded and ready for action instead of having a dud in the chamber...Only one way...and that's UP for Thompkins...He looks hungry enough to be here awhile

IF Adams lights it up he's the back-up.....pretty simple

All for the best that Bowman was sent packing....I thought when we signed him he would fit in nicely with Adams and give the opposition fits....The only fits that happened were the conniption fits the fans were having watching his pathetic effort...Montreal gets a vet. receiver for Johnny to throw to and we get to free up some cash...That's about it except now we have a spot to put in an actual receiver...or could we be thinking Flanders...hmmmmmmmmmmm

A qb. with Strevelers talent and potential do not come around often...In this town we know that quite well...He has to be played to keep him sharp and happy...I know he'll get his shot but not at the expense of Nichols and his playing time....Streve will have to be patient and wait until we have someone hanging on the ropes and on the verge of defeat to get game time...Whatever happens this kid is a valued member of the club....and any notion of letting him slip away in a trade or otherwise should be dispelled in a hurry...Diamonds don't fall into your lap very often...This kid is going to shine big time for someone and I prefer it be with us

Bust so far.....it better be corrected ….He's not getting it done and for the kind of money we're paying him....??...I think he's done.....should be benched and one of our young uns inserted...or go shopping...He's letting the team down
