Tracker Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I almost yelled at the radio (it really wasn't the radio's fault) when I heard that while driving. Either this forum to a man (sorry iHeart) is seriously deluded or senility has struck the Bombers coaching staff. I don't know whether to feel angry, sad or resigned.

I don't know if they'll play Lankford again against the stamps BUT if it is the case, higher ups like Miller must be wondering what the hell is going on here The Riders just beat Calgary with Sam Hurl playing on the team..... I like to blame Lankford but he really was a tiny reason for the games we lost this season. Richie Hall has much more of a responsibility then Lankford losing us games this year....

Arnold_Palmer Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 The real reason we lost was we had Ottawa second and long ALL night and Harris found the sweet spot in our zone every single time. I’ve never seen a team complete so many second and longs. This is 100 percent entirely scheme and even with the best MLB in the league and loads of talent on the defensive side we will struggle defensively all season unless there’s a change at the DC position.

A line-up with Adams..Wolitarsky, Tompkins, Demski and Washington rather than Lankford is hardy conceding the season...nor does it fit your above comment. In my opinion that is our best line-up we could field this year with whats on the roster...why they havn't given this set-up a chance blows my mind What's your take on Petermann?

Bomberfan85 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Dressler has been removed from the 6-game list. I wonder if he plays this week or takes one more to make sure he's good to go for Labour Day. If he's back this week, at least all the Lankford angst can stop.

MOS shouldn't be saying his time is capped because he got more playing time than he would have got had Nichols not been hurt. That comment by O' Shea is beyond stupid. It does give you an idea of his strange mindset. Tracker, TBURGESS, blitzmore and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and here's my strange mindset ... after the egg Nichols laid last game followed by the whining I'd start Streveler against Calgary and call it a "hunch". If he sucked I could always revert to Nichols, but it would definitely send Nichols a message and if he kept whining he wouldn't get any more starts. I'd continue to play whichever one was producing on the field, loyalty be damned. It would force Nichols to STFU and play better and/or it would give Streveler the development time he needs. A win-win situation AFAIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see simonise being a guy who benefits from a slower route to regular action. But I think petermann is pretty ready. I mean he would have been an instant starter for us for at least the previous 10 years. SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Nichols ever be 100 percent healthy tho? I mean hes pretty injury prone. Hes playing scared tho.. Afraid to get hit. Sitting him for a week wont change that. Its a mental thing.

You do realize wins started to happen when Nichols came back right? You also do realize our defense is crapping the bed?

Yes I do realize wins started to happen when Nichols came back. But he hasn't been playing well of late and worse, he's started whining. I happen to believe in actually playing the players that are performing best and that might be Streveler. At this point I'd at least give him a game or two. If he craps the bed switch back to Nichols. Yes, I also do realize our defense is crapping the bed. However, I don't see O'Shea changing the DC at this time. The next best scenario is for the offence to stop with the 2-and-outs and hopefully the D won't be so gassed from being on the field all the time.

17to85 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Oh please the "whining" by Nichols is nothing. That's just frustration from a losing effort coming through. Guy isn't like that, just a heat of the moment lapse in his usual attitude. blue_gold_84, JCon, blitzmore and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
