Some people just don't offer anything of any value. Nothing to do with being serious or not.
 
There are posters who put a negative slant to everything, so if the bombers sign someone, they overpaid because that's the only way to bring someone here. If we don't sign someone it's because we're cheap and won't pay. If the GM or coach does something right it's only because it was the horribly obvious option that couldn't be missed on. It gots on and on.
 
Some posters just have no clue, and will show it by doing things like referencing cflcapgeek as a valid source of information
 
Some posters will compare trash every move the bombers make, and wish we had made a move more like something the Stampeders do.
 
Some posters are willing to engage in actual discussion. Some of them have excellent football knowledge and provide insight that isn't found behind the paywall of the free press. Some of them even disagree with each other, but can have a reasoned discussion. If I can ignore the ones who add nothing to focus on those that do, that's the choice I'll make. And I thank the many posters who do have something to contribute.
 
I also have no issue with you stating your disagreement, it's not about if we agree or disagree, often it's about how we agree or disagree.

It has nothing to do with "rah-rah".  It has to do with some people contributing nothing but whining about how bad the team is.  I'm quite willing to except that this team has a lot of warts and if people want to discuss those warts intelligently, I'm all for it.  If, on the other hand, people just want to ***** non stop in every thread they can, adding nothing of value to the conversations whatsoever, there's no intelligent discussion to be had so... off to the ignore list they go.  

So...the slow starts, uber-conservative play calls, and lack of adjustments we had when Lapo was here..just a figment of my imagination. ...
Good to know

This team has already fired Lapo twice because the offense wasn't good enough, I'd rather not give him a third try. 

I was to the point of not wanting to log on anymore. Then put 10 people onto ignore and the boards are readable again. Unfortunately ignore doesn't work in chat, so that's still unreadable, but the boards are much more readable now.

I'm with you, appreciate the facility for what it is. In the last 4 months I've been to the following CFL stadiums:
 
BC Place in Vancouver
McMahon stadium in Calgary
Commonwealth in Edmonton
TD Place in Ottawa
 
It's been a year since I've been to IGF in Winnipeg
 
As a taller person IGF is the best for legroom of any of the stadiums I've been to, and I've only been to training camp in it, but it is a very nice stadium.
I'd say of the stadiums I've been to I'd put it 2nd to BC place, which despite very apathetic and quiet fans is a gorgeous stadium
 
TD place in Ottawa was pretty nice as well, and nicest area to hang out in for drinks/food before the game of the stadiums I've been to
 
I like commonwealth, but living in Edmonton I rarely go to a game because it's a pain in the ass to get there from where I live. It's not the best part of town, and the stadium is showing it's age a bit.
 
McMahon shows it's age, easily bottom of the list of the stadiums I've been to, but had a good time in the parking lot before the game barbecuing and drinking with some stamps fans. Closest thing to a tailgate experience I've had.
 
Haven't been to a game in regina, Hamilton, Toronto or montreal so can't comment on them. But based on the cities I've been to and with what I've heard of the stadiums in the other cities I would guess the top 3 stadiums in the CFL would be BC, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and there's a definite gap between Winnipeg and Ottawa. So be glad you have IGF.

I would criticize. I'm not a season ticket holder. I have however had tickets to 4 of the 9 road games for the bombers this season, and just got back this week from 8 days out of town that took me through Vancouver and Ottawa for Bomber games. I'm thinking of making the BC trip for the bomber game a yearly trip.

I'm flying in to Vancouver Saturday for the game, and headed to Ottawa for the game next Friday, so hoping they can put something together. Either way my hotel is stumbling distance from the stadium in both cities if it doesn't go well.

Have to agree firing the OC and replacing him with a 2nd DC would be a waste of time and money

Yeah yeah yeah...even if we won today you'd still be calling for everyone's head. 
 
You used to have a good reputation here and was well respected but your blind hatred of everything WBB is getting old.  

So to clarify, your stance is "I know it's wrong, but it's the basis of my argument anyway"? I may have to change my mental profile of you from grumpy old man to senile old man.
 
**edit** I kept reading and then realized you then went on to the "it's on the internet so it must be true" defense, as that's the only reason you're using that site, and basing your entire argument around it. Just gets better and better.

This seems to be a common line of thinking that only one change can happen at a time. If the defensive coordinator feels he can make changes to improve the defense, why should he not because the offense is struggling (unless the head coach says no I would prefer you leave the current system in place)
 
At my job my department is running pretty well right now. Another department is doing ok and having a few challenges. If I have an idea for a change that will help my results, I'm still going to pursue it regardless of whether another department is making changes or not in response to their issues.
 
Just because our OC isn't making a lot of changes and the offense is struggling isn't a reason for the DC to sit on his hands if he thinks the defense can be better.   I'm not saying a 3-4 would be better or worse, just that I disagree with the sentiment that the DC shouldn't look at changes because the offense needs more work. 

Oh c'mon! None of you know what type of relationship O'Shea has with the players or how he interacts with them in the locker room.

I would replace one coach every three games on a rotating basis, as that's usually how long it takes the internet to call for someones head.
