at the Toronto Zoo?

I disagree. We can win games with Nichols. I think it'll take 4 more wins to make the playoffs. Let's say we beat Montreal, BC, Ottawa once and another win somewhere. It's definitely doable with Nichols and the D playing at a high level.

How much did Miller pay Lawless to write this?

34,250 tickets already sold for the Banjo Bowl.  That's about 1,000 over IGF capacity so the temporary seats will be in full force tomorrow!

Did someone here say there will be a permanent switch to royal blue next year? Or is it my recurring dream serving me false hope again?

Hey, at least there's something to get excited about 
From today's sun ...
 

Considering that O'Shea has reportedly been getting more and more involved in special teams in the weeks leading up to this I don't think it's a stretch to think that this came from O'Shea himself. He saw a problem, tried to help and see if it got better without having to fire someone, it did not so he pulled the trigger. 
 
I don't know why people think O'Shea is blind and doesn't know what's wrong with this team. I guarantee that he knows damned well what the problems on this team are, he's a smart guy even if he doesn't say it in the media. 

Yeah I would agree with that for sure, Eskimos with Warren Moon won like 5 in 6 years or something so everyone else had a drought during that time.
 
However I don't think those Grey Cup droughts should equal seasons like we've had the last 10 years.  Sorry to keep using the Stamps example but I don't think everyone expects them to win the cup every few years but they do expect them to be competitive.  I wouldn't call them a dynasty by any means but they're almost always good, and have been for the most part of the last 20 years
 
I just want some hope and not know that the season is over by week 6 every year

I'd love to know what kind of discussions took place that lead up to this firing.  Did O'Shea initiate this himself?  Was he pressured by Walters/Miller?

I agree that incompetence can do all the things you have stated. However, in my 20+ years as a business owner, I can count exactly zero times where a customer with no experience in my line of business correctly identified incompetence by a member of my staff.
 

Say we lose out and finish 3-15. How do you sell 10-26 over the past two years and 19-53 over the past 4 with no playoff trips? I think attendance figures of 18-20,000 is possible next year.

So he sits in his office and continues to eat Cheetos while the ship sinks around him?

Let's hope Nichols qualifies as average.

The thing that really got me angry was O'Shea's post game interview where he said that he was disappointed the the D didn't respond better.  That if they are out on the field a lot then they need to rise to the challenge.  HELLO McFLY... did you happen to notice your offence out there??? You dump on the D for not rising to the challenge, but you fail to mention that there are 2 other groups out there sucking way worse that the D.  If I was Hall, I'd be in his face as soon as he left the dressing room.
 
I gave up on him right then and there.  Hiring a rookie GM who then hires a rookie head coach was a really dumb move,  Said it then, saying it again.  I'd hope a more experienced GM would take his HC aside, slap him upside the head and tell him to fix the stuff that's the most broken, namely the O and the ST.  
 
Sadly, I think they're going to try and limp along to season's end and then O'Shea will do his "soul seaching walk in the snow" moment in December and then, in January announce that, sadly, he's going to have to let MB go.  A whole repeat of the Etch fiasco.  And that means that we'll likely be stuck with Mr. "Gotta watch the film" for yet another year.

I don't live in Winnipeg but I refer to a comment I heard last night on the CJOB website listening to the post game show. About how Wade Miller recently was describing a 3 year plan & that the Bombers would stick to it no matter what. That's a huge concern to me as the Bombers situation is a fluid one, not static & changes need to be made as needed not after the 2016 season. If Miller sticks to this plan of no changes then we're in even bigger trouble than we all thought. I was actually quite taken aback to hear Bob & Doug talking about it. 

He is in fact a ratio breaker but we are talking about a team that for whatever reason chooses to start extra Canadians when they don't need to. I am all for being pro Canuck but when you have one country with a pool of 300 million and another with 1/10th of that does it not seem safe to believe you can find more and better qualified employees to play from the pool of 300 million? So let's start with playing 7 quality Canadians first and hope that Henoc's is one of them.

Get Wade Miller under centre and have him run the wildcat every play.

We had shirts made up that said:
 
Roughriders Suck (with an arrow pointing down)
 
 
I took 18 beer cans to the head by half time... Luckily I was wearing a hard hat! 
 
 
Then after the game we were on the field and some Rider chick was trying to grab the flag I had over my shoulder (tied to a hockey stick), I turned around and I guess the stick smacked her in the mouth. Luckily she was a rider fan, so no chiclets were damaged! 

DUDLEY GUICE!

To quote the Who.
 
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (You can't have it!)

Just please please don't give me nightmares of Washington turning the ball over in our red zone this year; please

I just worry so much about Marve's knees, or lack thereof....

TSN sucks, they expand to five channels and they would still rather show a lumberjack competition than CFL preseason games.

If the Press was say $7-$10, maybe but $17 a month? For Sinclair? Zorratti? Wiecek?
