Aww, did I hurt your feelings? Play better.

"clean up a few things. Just one or two plays made the difference"

 

Just a few minor things. Defence 500 yards here, 500 yards there, offence can't muster up a first down, quarterback unable to complete a pass over 10 yards, can't run the ball, rush can't get to the quarterback. Just some minor tweaks you know?

That's the great thing about football games, you can always pull out some stats that prove that you easily could have won, you were in till blah blah happened, if only blah blah blah.. but no question have to play better, blah.

tired of that.

Mike basically blamed the players for this one. wagons being circled I guess.

and the king of that is Mike O'Shea. Lapolice actually came prepared to an interview with stats to defend his quarterback.

This team is a joke and frankly I'm sick of watching them.

Know what you mean.

almost every other team is getting better right now. Bombers fall off the cliff.

When the O consistently does nothing... What do you expect from the D? They held us in it yesterday through 3 quarters.. Our O did **** all to help. 

Sorry, I just don't buy it. It is not okay to pack it in on D just because the O struggles. Calgary had chances the whole game they just did not capitalise in a big way until the second half. But the chances were there. Our D reeks and at this stage it's not just Hall but O'Shea and Walters who have to wear this puke-stained mess.

I didn't think this was possible but I'm actually more pissed today than I was yesterday.

The reason for my anger is there's no possibility of improvement or change.

Might just wait for the offseason, hopefully Walters will man up.

I see Strevler starting next game 

The LDC has become a traditional blowout(Thanks Troy Westwood) so you wait until the fire stops smoking before you make changes.

Just looked at the stats.

Kamar Jorden- 249 yards 10 rec

Matt Nichols- 248 yards on 44 attempts

Hope you started watching the tape at 5 am this morning there, Matty.

Horrendous.

Ya it's pretty hard to imagine how bad the d has to be let a guy pick up 250 yards receiving in one game. 

Thanks Hall.

Saddest part is our highest paid DB was the worst of the bunch.

I've absolutely run of patience with O'Shea as well as  his mind boggling coaching logic & style. Love to see him gone but I doubt Walters would fire him. My theory is the longer he stays HC the longer Walter stays employed as GM's are usually allowed one, maybe 2 firings before they're shown the door. So, the longer it takes that first firing to happen, the longer Walters will have a job with the Bombers. Sorry, colour me jaded. I think that's what will happen. It's all about circling the wagons now.

Best case scenario in my mind Osh is gone in the offseason and Claybrooks comes in as HC and brings his own DC.

But but but...we were told that giving up a lot of yards was just fine. Its getting so a girl doesn't know what to think anymore.

As long as we limit the explosion plays we’re fine. I’d say we’re doing a fantastic job of that.

 

if we can’t get Claybrooks I vote this man becomes our next head coach, no excuses.

I love how innocent and pure Bob is, he usually ends up being wrong but I have to admire him for being so optimistic.

I heard the interview. I agree with Bob..

I saw a ton of run plays on first and no play action today.  No fake end arounds or nothing to try and fake the defense out.

Trust me, Lapolice was putting Nichols in bad situations.

7 total carries for the game for harris 

An old coaching joke with some application here. 

One day an old head coach of a football team is fired. His assistant is hired as the new head coach. Before the old head coach leaves he give the new coach three envelopes And says, "When youre in trouble open a letter and follow the instructions". 

 Early the next year the team hasnt improved and the new coach opens a letter. It says, "Blame the fans". So he holds a press conference and talks about how they have no home field advantage. How his teams is demoralized by poor support from the fans. Things improve for a while but eventually taper back down.

Late that year the blame is coming back around to him again. So he opens another letter. It says, "Blame the talent." So he holds another press conference and says they need more talent. The calling for his job once again subsides a little.

Midway through the next year he is under the greatest pressure of his career. Everyone is turning on him and his team just doesnt perform. So he opens the final letter it says "Prepare 3 letters". 

In as little as a week nichols has gone from steady leader to having been booed by the fans, complained about the fans, and now this. I feel like play off nichols, the nichols of the win streaks would have shouldered more of the burden then is fairly his. I didnt listen to the post game so i didnt hear the interview. I doubt he threw his guys under the bus. But every thing is trending in the wrong direction for nichols and this offense right now.

In a game that we were leading going into the second half and was close until the 4th quarter. Asinine. You'd think they would have wanted 20+ out of Harris the way Nichols was playing.

They schemed to stop the run and the short passing game.  20 carries to gain 25 yards would have been the result.

Thats when you get creative as an OC but sadly Lapo is about as creative as an ashtray when things arnt going well.

Media loves to complain how players, especially hockey players, don't actually say things in interviews anymore. Exhibit A why a player shouldnt.

They do, but have you seen Matt Nichols performance? He's STUNK, over/under thrown everybody. Sits in the pocket for FAR too long, throws for 4 yards on 2nd down when we need 13. Just to name a few.

Then he has the audacity to complain that the fans are being mean to him and that his receivers aren't getting open. No duh Matt, if they were open all the time you would probably throw deep more and continue to only miss by 10 yards.
