Last 5 months. RD tho in reality prob not as much of a football guru as people thought.

That’s hilarious. That was the first year I had season tickets. Well, my parents had season tickets plus 1. But yeah, Randall was actually put in a game and had an arm but couldn’t hit a barn door from 10 Yards away. That’s hilarious cuz that season was a disaster but it was so fun being at the games, the blue out also. The ticat boat incident happened then. All QBs we dressed played the one game. Memorable for reasons for me plus we sat by Mike Kelly’s Winnipeg girlfriend and got to meet MK who was actually extremely friendly polite and respectful, the opposite of how he came across. No bs. Somewhere in a binder in my basement I got autographs from bomber legends lefors Dudley guice Jr and Mike Kelly. lol. Among others. I still don’t think MK was gonna be fired until his arrest then it was obvious. Without the arrest I think he was coming back. That whole group tho, Kelly as coach. Murphy as bird dog really, just awful people in reality. If MK kept KG, he probably wouldn’t have been let go either cuz then there’s no real controversy when you win. Plus Murphy and Kelly found some talent. I’d almost argue more than KW has in his tenure. KW more of a sign free agents guy. Not lots of non free agents. Murphy better scout than McManus is what I’m saying despite Murphy being a slimeball creep.

We have had almost 10 years of pretty solid football here, 10 years almost of having a chance every year. For 5 6 of those we were dominant really, lost a few finals but patriots lost to the giants in the finals. It happens. Entitlement as fans tho, seems we in that phase also.

Spring chickens normally don’t make it to summer. I’m 30 years younger than you tho. I also aren’t that pretending I have all the answers. Cuz fun fact, nobody here really has a clue what’s actually going on. Cuz none of us are there. I also think tracker in particular is a troll if you actually read his posts. Bomber fan? At what point has tracker ever shown he’s an actual bomber fan tho. All I see is praising everyone else, sure loves Dinwiddie yet nothing positive ever about the bombers. Constant bitching. Unlike you old dudes tho, I know they won’t listen to me. You pretend you know it all, lose your **** constantly over online BS. You gonna end up in hospital cuz some dude online pissed you off. At what point. For your entertainment. It’s not entertaining tho is it? Also appears success is somewhat cyclical in pro sports and football in particular. You can have 5 6 10 years of success but that’s usually followed by a few years of disappointment and rapid decline. We appear to be in that rapid decline phase.

Dru and Tommy but Tommy is 50 plus ffs. Tom Condell. Thomas even now.

Tell us Coach Belicek, what makes a good coach in the year 2026. Keeping in mind you’re 50 plus and you’re not 20 anymore and times thru have the changed. Coach Ditka? Tell us? Coach cals ghost? Loved you dude but that **** wouldn’t fly in 2026. O’Shea is the same as all coaches really. I don’t disagree with anything you actually said other than you thinking you know what makes a good coach in 26, you were verbally whacking off RD all off season and even in the other games thread, Ottawa can’t win a game and you think you know what makes a good coach in 2026? Man, seriously. This is the part of fan forums that are just, you’re kidding yourself dude who prob works in an office building or did or perhaps a farmer in the dell. Who knows. O’Shea tho played pro and was one of the best cdn lbs ever, he’s now a coach and the winningest one in our history. He knows more than all of us on here, I’m not sure why dudes who work in offices or lift weights think they know more. Name a long time coach who don’t play favourites. I’ll tell you what tho, in sports most the time there’s also a gm who makes the coaches job easier by signing drafting or trading assets for better players. Tim white? He’s ok but he’s 32? Not that young. Could have signed Eberhart probably or Mack even. Both probably if we let Stan and Nichols go prob or didn’t sign them.

Ottawa will have pick 1 (their own) and pick 3 (ours)

How was Lewis last season cuz Zach and Dru are pretty much the same QB when healthy, Zach hasn’t been in years tho, he doesn’t run. He’d be 6 gamed so fast the last few games it would have been crazy. But how was Eugene last year? Cuz QB? Check. OC from Ottawa? Check. Are we gonna can JY and bring in Fields to fully become the 2025 Ottawa Redblacks? Does Ottawa have a tackle ? They have one of our former guards. I think the biggest need on O is oline. If the QB can’t get 2 seconds before he’s being pressured, does geno in his prime even matter? Nevermind probably past it. Broxton Wallace Eli/Vibert Neuf Vanty

Funny. Was watching summerslam last night and they mentioned Chelsea Green, new women’s champ, from victoria BC wanted to fly out 8 family members to Minnesota for her win I suppose but commentators said none showed up cuz of an airline strike in Canada and you know, it made me think, damn it, the USA thinks we only have 1 airliner here.

Ottawa redblacks 2025 O would be fully in action. Oh boy oh boy oh boy that will put asses in the seats Bobby.

No Connor McDavid for us. Oh cfl draft. Had a dude ever turned a franchise around year 1 of their eligible cfl draft year. ??

Why? Cut him.

Let Moxey go also cuz again… below average vet playing field corner is unacceptable. Just not as much shock or ripples sent through the line up with just Moxey tho. Stan. Kyrie. Nichols are the vet leaders prob along with Neufeld. Neufeld gives me steinbach vibes and I don’t dislike steinbach so the other 3 tho… snip snip Cut.

You could use Stan as your Designated American or whatever and have him split reps with a Wallace or cdn of some kind. Cdn receiver in for Stan. Or whatever. Pretty easy solution to allow Stan to continue playing but just not every snap. But last night they honoured a legend. Coach Cal. What would he do? He’d cut Bryant. And bombers should also. Business not personal. Players should understand if you ain’t up to snuff, you ain’t gonna play here. Stan and Kyrie and maybe Nichols are the vets you let go to send a message that being poor on the field isn’t acceptable Biggest fear. Stan is back next year.

I didn’t think he was 2 happy with the 388 rushing yards. Maybe I saw a different post game. Should be up on YouTube. He’s talking about at the end the D being tired cus they were on the field all game again.

Losing doesn’t bother me as long as I’m entertained. I’m not entertained this season at home games. 0 for home games this year and D giving up 2 games in a row means the easiest change is younger. Ppl need to accept Osh and Kyle have 3 year deals, it’s year 1 of that deal, they won’t get rid of them even if they should. They won’t and really can’t almost. Make them quit??? Only way. You can change players and coordinators tho Trade any vet with any value. Willie. Ceresna maybe. Holm. Nichols maybe someone’s a sucker there. Big Stan. Whoever. Jones. Kyrie. Moxey can be cut. Start the rebuild now. Get an OC who actually man, the one pass Dru threw over 10 yards was a beauty pass to white in the end zone. Condell is giving me Gary crowton flashbacks but with less actual deep balls 3 Merican oline and our QBs getting killed every game Brown to white. I was like Michael Jackson right there.

Winning yes. Entertaining product tho also. I’ve never gone to games thinking if we don’t win I’m never coming again. The W isn’t guaranteed. An entertaining product worth the cost tho should be. Winnipeg currently isn’t getting that. Elks are.

He just signed 3 years. They ain’t eating that contract yet. You can get rid of the coordinators today without really costing you for almost 3 full seasons of pay.

younger Condell McManus Kyle Osh In that order probably Kyle and Osh are 4 and 5 cuz of coaches and management caps. They ain’t eating 2.5 years for both. Essentially the cap prevents us from prob making the 2 probably biggest issues go away. The first 3 you can fix today. Maybe off season if the attendance dwindles you eat 2 years but not right now. Osh and Kyle will be here until the end of 26 season. 27 and beyond? At this point I’d say probably but 6 and 12 might mean Wade eats those contracts then.

Exactly. @Tracker its possible you Booch and others are talking out your ass. The fact you think you are correct prob means you are. Is O’Shea a problem? Probably. But he’s not the only one. It’s really easy to say fire O’Shea but logically with a coaches cap, it’s not gonna happen. The go to online thing in sports is always fire the coach cuz eventually all coaches get fired and then the experts online who always blame the coach can say I was right when every coach will be fired one day. Problems here go far beyond O’Shea. Our D quit on younger twice now. O’Shea is probably problem 3 or 4 of 5 right now.

I think younger and the D are a huge huge problem this year. It’s every game, we get lit up, close to 400 rushing yards is just unacceptable. How younger still has his job right now is insanity. That’s the easiest decision there. Every game it’s the same. It’s obvious when we score a TD the opposition is gonna come down and score on us. Has happened every game. O’Shea is signed for 3 years. The coaches cap means he’s here for 2 so the most obvious changes is to the coordinators, both. Lapo? Isn’t he head coach of the cdn Olympic flag football team? Don’t think he’d come here unless it was to be head coach O? Not gonna lie, early on had that Thought that Condell is over compensating for last week. Dude is anti run, it’s like he thinks you can’t win running the ball, hey Tom cuz Tommy is a kids name, 400 yards rushing against is why we lost.

How? They gave up 22 points in the final 6 minutes. No bomber game has been the same really. We are 4 and 4 so I’m not even sure what losing at the half proves?? It’s not like we are 1 and 7. The game don’t end at half time We lose cuz our D collapses every game and since buck left our OC has been garbage

Keep TE and Dru away from Condell. It’s not the QB. It’s the play calling.

Osh just straight out saying they lost cuz they gave up 400 rushing tonight.

Irrelevant. They were winning with 6 minutes left. It was 19 13 with 6 minutes left. BC scored 22 points in 6 minutes. We scored none.
