  1. It's definitely percentage and has been for years now. The problem they have is they can't create new stars. John Cena was the last star they created and could be argued like Bryan and like Punk... he made himself. Win one week.. lose the next. Nobody is allowed to actually win 2 or 3 times in a row unless you are Cena
  2. Burmi is number 6, watch him tonight... watch him hold on to the puck too long, watch him not use his linemates properly, watch the play go back to our D zone when he gets the puck in the O zone and holds on to it way longer than he should... It's gonna happen because it's happened every game this year He's not awful, he's good defensively and that's all he ever will be, a good defensive player with absolutely zero upside in the O zone.. You can't score if you don't shoot the puck and you can't shoot the puck if you hold on to it too long Fancy stats say burmi has not been that great this year.
  3. You have to look at each phase differently O, D, Special Teams D = not the greatest but for the amount of time they are on the field, they aren't that bad actually... and no they aren't on the field cuz they can't get off or stop the other team, they are on the field because our O can't do anything. Sack Leader, INT leader, they have talent there, perhaps hall is a little too passive for my liking, needs to be more aggressive in my opinion but basically the D is the reason these games have been so close recently Special Teams - not good to start the year, but like the D has gradually improved, to the point where they have actually won us a game or 2 themselves... our last win, vs BC, was due to D and special teams. Cost us a game or 2 also but... all in all, has shown improvement just like the D The O= OH boy really, worst in the league, most sacks allowed, worst team in the redzone, least amount of yards in total, pretty much dead last in every possible category D and Special teams aren't the best but they certainly aren't the worst, Our O is... Really says it all doesn't it... Our O is the worst O in the league and it's not even close. Someone said we have only score 30 or more points once, that was the first game of the year wasn't it? Vs SASK... the worst D in the league by far.... yup, says it all really.... people can go on about the D or Special teams and pretend they are the issue but... reality, truly is, if you only score 30 points once the entire year, it's not your D that is the problem, it's not your special teams, it's your O and it's not even really debatable. 1 damn game and it was the first of the year where we scored 30 or more points, and guess what, we only scored exactly 30 that game... yeah, the O is the real problem.
  4. Maybe firing MB changes a lot of things, it's hard to say really, Not sure how much of our O's struggles is on him and how much is on the players.... Willy getting hurt certainly didn't help, it was a flawed O scheme and system then, perhaps seeing Nichols and the sorts struggle in it quite badly shows you just how awful it is, Only Willy could make it work.. Stanley Bryant doesn't go from All Star to Not great for no reason, eventho i really don't think he's been that bad, it's more the guard and when Picard played, the center position that really struggled badly, Capers at guard is awful,Neufeld at tackle is awful... Need to upgrade basically those 2 spots on the oline and we should be better, then again, if MB is kept around, doubt he will be, but if he is, you could probably bring in 5 all star oline guys and it still wouldn't matter. Bryant isn't awful, Chungh was a rookie,Goossen looks ok for a guy getting his first real reps at center.. he's an upgrade on Picard that's for sure... 2 spots, Jace Daniels was a huge loss IMO.. perhaps the most telling sign of the scouts is their inabilty to find import oline... I mean, it shouldn't be that hard... then again, like i've said before, maybe the scouts did bring in some talented players and maybe MB just kind of dismissed them without even giving them a chance. I really do think MB is the biggest problem on this team by far... The D can only do so much... you need the O to actually show up for more than one or 2 quarters in games, we always start out so slow, week to plan and we start off so brutal, I don't get it, sometimes it's not all on the play calling tho, sometimes, our QB, (not including Willy)is just terrible, (brohm,marve, nichols a couple games now) Not saying that i ever thought MB wasn't the biggest issue but... pretty tough to look good when Brohm and Marve were playing but with Nichols, a veteran of the league looking like total crap, It's pretty obvious that the biggest problem is indeed the OC. Square Pegs... Round Holes.... not using guys to their strengths, schemes are just not good enough.... Hope to GOD ALLAH BUDDAH whoever... that they fire his incompetent ass this week, why keep him another week, just finish him and do it now. Nothing to lose, everything to gain... I kinda would like to see this team with a competent to average OC... just average even, average is several steps better than what we've seen this year This is my biggest issue, Our D isn't the best, but they are good enough if they have time to actually rest up and don't have to be on the field for pretty much the entire first half... If we had just an average, doesn't need to be best in the league (ideally, it is) but doesn't need to be, if it was just average, like ranked 5th or even 6th for that matter... we'd probably have a few more wins for sure... The O has yet to win a game for us IMO, the D has, special teams has... the O hasn't and that's a huge problem and overall, it's the problem that is holding this team back for sure... Big Time.. Tough to judge talent, all star to not looking so great the next year.... it tells you, it's not so much the player(s)... It's the guy calling the plays.
  5. It's easy to say this now but when the new season comes around.... it's a whole other story. Don't think it will take much to bring fans back.... Couple signings... MB bring fired.... once June 2016 rolls around.... things will be different. Lots of frustration right now but... lots of time for change and cooler heads to prevail too.
  6. If they fire MB that will be a huge win in my books.
  7. Useless for sure but not sure firing him earlier would have made a huge difference. Same O I'm sure but different guy calling the plays doesn't change a flawed system
  8. Oh and Johnny Adams Khalil Bass and I believe MO Leggett says hi. Jace Daniels too. Bigger loss than ppl realize. Cam Marshall too. Not his fault the OC don't use him enough. I really do feel it's tough to gauge the O talent when the OC is useless. Technically also Willy was never a free agent... Walters traded Etienne for him.
  9. Nichols won 2 games as a bomber and with a kicker it would have been 3. Regardless tho.. Nichols is a back up
  10. That's what Chamblin wanted too. That worked out well. Edmonton and Hamilton and even Montreal are better examples
  11. I'd like to see the bombers announce that they have fired MB this week. Nothing to gain keeping him. Just be done with it and move on. You have a bye week and last game will be meaningless. Get rid of MB now instead of waiting
  12. I think schemes play a role. Is our oline good? Nope. Are they as awful as the scheme makes them out to be... I don't think so. Fire MB and bet lots changes MB seems to be playing the square peg round holes game. Play to our guys strengths instead of their weaknesses and you will really be able to judge the talent. Stanley Bryant doesn't go from all star to not good for no reason. It's schemes and it goes back to the OC
  13. Gotta wonder if our reputation as an organization who fires people way to quickly is playing a role here. People talk about hiring the right coach but.... why would that guy want to come here knowing that in 2 years or even less people will be calling for his head. As for scouting... Ken moll explained it well a while back... you can put a list together but it takes sometimes 2 years for those players to finally come up here. It takes time.... something they haven't really had. 2 years... next year we should see some better recruiting hopefully. Then again maybe Walters and the scouts did bring in some good players on O but MB never really gave them a chance. Tough to say. Fire MB and let's see what happens. You fire MB and there is no more excuses cuz... I'm not sure anyone could succeed or look great playing in this O. Fire MB and see what happens. Look at replacing hall with a more aggressive minded d coach....
  14. Petan is a playmaker tho. Probably has created more scoring chances than Burmi but is playing with 2 guys who aren't real threats to score. Put petan with better players and you will see better results. The ducks are awful so far. Just terrible really. They can't score
  15. A rookie kind of struggling in the D zone? Nah.... he's learning. I agree Ladd is easier to replace tho.
  16. Is 7 11 year one really that bad? The 5 13 is but.... starting QB injured.... terrible O. Not sure the O is on O'shea exactly. D and special teams have got better. D was good enough to win today... the O just never took advantage. Asking your d to win games is tough... think that is what's happened this year. Our 5 wins are mainly due to Willy and our D. Our losses are all on the O in my opinion. 20 points scored today... 23 25 20 something the last several games. That's not enough to win on the cfl.
  17. Hall is too passive. Bend but don't break. I like our D but.... they need to be more agressive
  18. He's not playing smart hockey at all. He's playing demoted to the moose hockey
  19. Apparently someone already claimed it
  20. First half... Bombers had the ball for like 8 minutes. The O sucked....once again
  21. I believe it. Not sure MB or hall are back tho. Hall is too passive
  22. Lol. Fro brought some O at least. Burmi is a guy who likes to hold on to the puck too long. He has 1 goal in to an empty net. Not sure he scores a 2nd. Burmi hasn't been good. Fancy Stats back that up. If you like guys who don't shoot and hold on to the puck too long... Burmi is your guy. He's probably an ideal 4th liner tho since he plays good d but that's all he does
  23. Team is crap because the O only plays 2 quarters max of good football
