This is what seems to happen to us:
lets say we fire MOS. but we give Walters one more coaching hire, even though Sunderland seems to be a promising guy, available for promotion, our guy needs one more opportunity.
New coach also craps the bed, Walters fired, Miller on the look out for a new GM to turn the organization around. Unfortunately, while we were giving Walters one more year, Sunderland had been hired somewhere else and we're forced to conduct an exhaustive search which results in us promoting Danny Mac to GM.

The worst thing that could happen is they fire MOS, promote LAPO, and then retain LAPO as HC next season.
I am sick of retaining part of the problem and and hoping to do better.

I agree completely that it really didn't seem like something someone around here would take the time to put together. Would absolutely not surprise me to see someone around here take someone's blog and post it here without crediting...
 

I personally see several links and names

This is all just IMO of course but for my top 15, with a real log jam from 2-5, I'd go with something like this...
Tier 1 - Collaros
Tier 1B) Burris, Reilly, BLM, Harris
Tier 2) Durant, Glenn, Ray
Tier 3) Jennings, Franklin, Willy, Lulay
Tier 4) Cato, Nichols, Masoli 
 

Who's having a tantrum?   We all have different coping mechanisms.  
Part of being a fan (particularly life-long) is being engaged with the team in some manner.  For most of us, it is the ole Interweb.   For myself, I try to inject at least a modicum of wit, or irony, even while being critical.   Odds and Sods, even in it's current repetitive state (same ole stuff) is a diversion, and has become in a funny way, a sort of "duty"
I have been, and will always pay the freight, to support the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.   Not one of those BS types who spend time on the boards, but not support the team at the games.   If anyone else wants ...."send messages" to the club, or disfigure themselves with paper bags, or whatever....fine.
But what I don't need....is anyone.....to instruct me on how to respond to the state of the Bombers, bad or good......ever. 
 

Probably my favourite player right now. 

I'd give them the year, regardless.  I don't believe in firing coaches mid-season, generally, and certainly there's no reason to fire a GM mid-season.  Firing O'Shea at 2-6 means Lapo gets promoted, maybe he goes 5-5 in the softer part of the schedule and now we give Lapo a big head coach contract like he's gonna save the team.  No thanks.
But this is all so premature.  If Winnipeg beats Calgary I bet all is forgiven and you'll be seeing fireworks in the skies of Winnipeg tomorrow night.........

Probably my favourite player right now. 

As a secondary thought, I think I came up with a better way to explain how I feel.
I avoid talking football with people at work or in my family, including my dad who I attend games with, because all you seem to get out of them is "Willy sucks! Wade Miller sucks! Everything sucks! We're the worst!" and I just find it incredibly frustrating to listen to.
I come here to avoid all of that and engage in actual DISCUSSION (what went wrong, what went well, what did you think about this play, what did you see in this situation, etc) and it seems like the general attitude around these parts lately is more akin to the water cooler discussion I avoid in every day situations.

They were a hot mess no matter who was at QB. No way they finish ahead of Montreal, despite the Popp factor.

opening day. Favourite day of the season. Hopefully our guys can do something this year to change that.

Many people have said this already, but remember this is just a depth chart. It doesn't accurately display where guys at WR and CB are going to be lined up. Dressler will play slot, Randle will flip sides (I would think following carter around). 
Lapo is not a guy who's going to lock in receivers to a single spot.

I'll be surprised if Willy plays more than 2 or 3 sets of downs. The first preseason game isn't to get the main offense a bunch of work. It's to get a look at as many players as possible in 'game' situations. Nichols is likely to get the most time IMO.

I think Dressler is going to be very important to our success this year. We've already seen him working as Medlocks holder, which O'Shea will definitely exploit in special teams (as well as being a great guy to have with the ball if a play breaks down). He's going to be a big part in getting everyone on the same page in this new offence. He has some previous time with Willy and Lapo, he has crediblity around the league - which, I think, is important with all of our FA signings over the past couple of years. He's been to the Grey Cup.
Smith may play here longer and have more statistical success, but in moving our team forward, I think Dressler was the more important add.

Every touchdown we score removes an ad from the scoreboard, until ultimately the actual video takes up the entire screen.

I love that our first two picks covered both sides of the line. Building from the lines out is a great strategy and I've been waiting for multiple drafts to spend a high(er) draft pick on the DL.
If I wasn't so cynical about losing Chungh after this season, I'd be very optimistic.

such an unnecessary post.
For all we complain about how guys these days chase the money and have no loyalty, this is a guy who went out of his way to come back and retire wearing our colors and all you want to do is question why he'd do it?
Best of luck to Hefney - one of my favorite Bombers ever.

Great tweet from Barnsley...
 

Players who's careers were terminated by lack of skill or injury.  A lot of coaches did not play professional football but at one time that was their goal.  What word would you like to use other than failure?  Successless???

Can we please leave politics out of this? I can list off many faults with political parties at all different levels and different affiliations. Corruption and mismanagement exists everywhere. Part of the reason I enjoy sports is to get away from that garbage please check your garbage at the door. There are plenty of other places to spout infective.
