Not to sound like a debbie downer but I believe the odds of us winning a playoff this game are in the single digits. This defense is beyond trash, and with key injuries on offense I see us getting absolutely pummeled by Edmonton. 

Zero playoff wins since 2011. In a 9 team league. I honestly can't even fathom it, and while the west semi is in 2 weeks if someone gave me the odds I'd bet my house straight odds we lose.

 Nah- **** him. He deserves Jones. Sure he may win, but I would not like to have him as Head Coach- too skeezy with no integrity and Zero respectability.  Win what they may- but **** them nonetheless.

Winning is nice, but being able to to respect yourself and the organization you work for is a whole lot more important at the end of the day. Don Matthews didn't get many Christmas cards from his players but he managed to win without being complete jackhole. O'Shea has his faults but at least he has the respect of the fans.

And most importantly, the team. 

Guys, I’ll just remind everyone that there are times certain posters come out of the woodwork .. this just happens to be one of those times .. 

Its not worth your time / energy to get all worked up over individuals whose sole raison d’etre is to stir the pot when things aren’t going well.

I have no issues with fans who are critical of the team / organization or with other team’s fans provided they contribute consistently and not simply “fade away”  until the next time the club falters.

Also .. ignore function. ?

This regime will be on the hotseat if they don't replace Hall. That should be Job #1.  If MOS gets stubborn & keeps him & things defensively stay the same next year with a MLB who just plunges into the line then there'll be problems. 

Is Hall under contract for next season or is he up? What about Lapo?

Danny Mac and the scouts should get the old apple and a roadmap since apparently none of them can find a receiver or a MLB.

Two off-seasons ago one of Walters priorities was to find some big strapping receivers as replacements, they brought in Jace Davis, Thomas Mayo and Gerrard Sheppard but subsequently released all 3 to accommodate Dressler, Smith and Denmark.  I think that is a priority that needs to be revisited. 

Other point, Thorpe was perfect for LaPo's offence, either find another Thorpe clone, or forgive his transgression and scoop him up when Sask. leaves him unprotected in a few weeks time.

Were any of those three really good enough?

The pressure will be on next year.  At the very least, the Bombers will need to make the East Finals next season - whether that is by finishing first in the division or winning a division semi-final.  Failing that, I see one or both of O'Shea and Walters receiving their pink slip.   I don't think a coach/gm has survived past 5 seasons without a playoff victory in the CFL.

Nor should they.

If the Bombers finish first in the division.... it's impossible for them to be in the east finals...

Coach and management still here and looking promising

Well that insightful comment definitely warrants necroing this old thread

I would not consider changing this regime.  If we can't win right now, we need to improve our players.  This management team is solid.

And who has been and will be recruiting assessing and coaching players thus far?

Just say NO to thread necro.
