Stickem

My take on Willy is that we needed...expected...more than he is capable of...In other words, a backup, trying to look like a starter that never really had the goods...To pay him starters money has compounded the situation, as now fans want to get their moneys worth, so to speak, and he can't deliver...We also have a coach that can't/won't recognize that fact adding further to our dilemma ...We are probably stuck with both until seasons end....I hope 'do or die' has many cases of gin on hand, because this could be one helluva bender.

That was one horrid PI call that put the riders in a position to kick the winning field goal...If that was pass interference, then any reception made by any receiver with a db close at hand, should be under 'review' and viewed as such..That was not pass interference....On the other hand, the helmet to helmet on the Redblack qb. was correct, BUT the same type of helmet to helmet on Gale was reviewed and found to be alright?????...The phantom PI call, that pretty much decided the game was a bloody joke, and makes this league look bush. WOW that 'eye in the sky bull$hit sure is working

It's quite noticeable....the lack of 'enthusiasm' on this club...The bench looks like they were told not to be too demonstrative, as this could sap our needed reserve strength or something lol...O'Shea wanders up and down with a 'sheepy' grin or expressionless for the most part...whether a decent play was made or a busted one...Of course when the player who was guilty of a bone-head move, he does get a smile and sometimes a pat with the clip board...I don't know whether this lack of emotion is because we are so beaten down or the heart has gone out of this club altogether... I do not like foolish penalties for 'over reacting' BUT for cripes sake let's look like we are at least 'alive' and want to win more than the other guys..Lots wrong with this club and we lose a helluva lot more than we win but there's no excuse for coming out of our tunnel looking listless and ready to concede the 2 pts...Leggett said it awhile ago...we need players on this team who play the game 'on the edge' and are not 'Mr. Nice guys'....Maybe that's beyond Mike O.

Yes and O'Shea will take Walters with him ....I think Kyle tried his best in the offseason and it looks like his efforts were wasted on a former special teams coach who doesn't know what the hell he's doing...So we pay the price again....Miller better start looking up possible replacements soon for 17'...That's a foregone conclusion.

Yup...it's a rebuild and for the umpteenth time....Clean house and start again cuz this crap show is going nowhere...Someone needs to hit O'Shea with a 'you don't know what the hell you're doing' (then run like hell)...Willy is obviously not the answer as we were led to believe....The short time Nichols was in proved that...Unfortunately Mike O and company will disagree and keep beating the dead horse until there's nothing left but dust...It's going to be hard to witness the end of another unfortunate era in the Bombers recent past BUT it's inevitable....How do you NOT score a td. in quarter after quarter of play and try to say we resemble a contender...I don't know how management can look any of the Bomber faithful in the eye and say 'be patient'....It's run out just like Mike O'Shea's time with the club is rapidly doing...Something better be papered over and quick because by the look of the crowd last night it's gonna get worse attendance wise...Rebuild yes....and start with the quarterback...

TD....Nichols to Dress....is it a figment of my imagination...garbage time heroics....OR IS IT Matt Nichols the man of the hour.....oh well, I was expecting too much.

Here's where we get good.........garbage time....are we too late...maybe.....maybe ...NOOOOO PIC....FIGURES...all over.

WOW ...are we pathetic.....Can't defend ...can't score...who wants to pay to watch this shite anymore...We have to be some kind of football sadists.....definitely sad.

Any type of delay in Willy's decision making process (he's slow as it is) could lead to confusion and hinder his reads...I think it would be a disaster with this qb., and if mix-ups like we seen with him and Darvin Adams were concerning last game....wait, it could be disaster in the making.

If we don't look like a playoff contender late season, O'Shea can start packing his bags..We've given him enough time to put a winner together (AND BY WINNER I MEAN AT LEAST A PLAY-OFF SPOT) and IF that doesn't transpire....adios Mike O by seasons end....Bomber management will be perusing the names for head coach for 2017 at that time...O'Shea still has time to turn things around.... BUT right now it ain't looking too good.

In this case Bastien was on the Riders and our junk pile...If Jones returns him to their junk pile, it will give a new meaning to recycle and reclaimation... Oh my,as the CFL turns..

James was golfing on that very course in Qualicum not too long ago...He probably still chips those errant balls back on to the fairway...lol...Andrew Harris played for the Vancouver Island Raiders, in Nanaimo, not too far down the road from where Gerry lives, and he said once that James is the guy he wants to emulate...Andrew picked one heckuva guy to copy...

Based on what I've seen of those two flunkies in the past, I'd be VERY afraid if they came anywhere near my club (we've already experienced one of them).....Now watch for the announcement that this Deeeemarco fellow is headed for the Peg..The perils of posting 'for sures' in this league...lol

So after all is said and done we exchange Bastien for Haidara.....I think we win this one cuz at least Haidara fights for the ball....right Ripper...heh heh..

Gerry James was a winner....and one helluva athlete...He was a big part of the Bud Grant era when we actually had a powerhouse of a team that lasted for years...I have not seen that here since and it's too bad the younger fans of today haven't experienced that type of team, then they'd realize what we really had....James deserves all of the accolades they can bestow upon him ...James and Grant are synonymous as far as former Bombers go....Well deserved.

This ought to shut up some of the big mouths in Sask. who were revelling in our incompetence....loser meet bigger loser....you pick it.

So what you're saying is we're all crap......hmmmmmm you know you could be right.

AND IF Miller is meddling, like some have suggested..right about now ,considering the state of affairs around here, someone better appear to be doing something...our coach sure as hell isn't.

It looks like what a lot of people in Sask. feared...Durant on the sidelines....As far as feeling sorry for them...Sorry can't muster anything up for them considering our situation BUT even though we look like crap at the moment in the qb.dept....at least we're healthy.

Sask. looks like they have lost Durant again.....and we think we're in trouble...Also no-knees Bagg lighting it up...makes you wonder what the hell is wrong with our receivers when Durant and him were making it look easy.... Just maybe it's our qb.

When have we really released a quarterback that has come back to 'haunt us'....Other than 'suitcase' Glenn, I can't think of one...As far as I know there hasn't been a quarterback released that shouldn't have been...The only quarterback of late that I hated to part with was Buck and that was because of injury AND he is still with us ,granted in another capacity...Jyles,Brink,Goltz, Max Hall, Joey Elliott, and because of injury Marve have all ceased to be Bomber qbs. because they were NOT successful...I don't know for sure whether Willy is going to fit the category of 'also ran' but I think we're about to find out soon...It looks like he's lost what we thought he had and I don't want to continue down a dead-end road forever to find out...This franchise needs to see success sooner rather than later..Willy's overall success, especially of late, is not pointing towards the franchise quarterback we've been searching for...If he comes up with an underwhelming performance next game .. it's on to 'NEXT'....whether it be on our current roster or possibly 'other'...Fans of this club are beyond being patient and deserve better...The brain trust better get on it.

Well that could be an option...Maybe Willy, if this happened, would be a competent qb. behind Durian once again....Durant might be comfortable with a few of our receivers as well..................wink,wink.

Yep IC, like you I feel the pain....That's what 25 years...and it looks like right now, soon to be 26, will do to you.

Certainly Burris would be a short term solution....BUT any kind of 'term' is better than what we are headed for ,if this keeps up...We need help NOW and Willy is not getting it done...What would it take to get him here???Seeing as we are going down in flames if something 'credible' isn't done...the price we might have to pay would cost... However,Henry would be a great teacher and Nichols,Davis would certainly benefit from his presence..It would be a great way for Burris to eventually leave the game he obviously luvs, imparting his skills and knowledge to an up and comer in the league, and on our roster.??? Maybe that's what's been missing for a long time on this club???

For sure all of that.......and like Mike I'm wondering what it would take to get Franklin here???? Of the three that were available at the time we signed Willy, he was last on my 'get him list'...Collaros was my first choice (if it weren't for the bad injury he'd be leading the league and is up there with the top qbs.) Burris was my second choice, at that time....Willy was a back up in Sask. that looked like a real good back-up and apparently he still is...We hitched our wagon once again to mediocrity and are now realizing the result....Buggah...
