Anonymous thoughts from CFL general managers and coaches

I wouldn’t want to be around Wade Miller if the Bombers lose on Saturday. He’s a guy who loves the Bombers, wants to win a championship and when he isn’t happy everyone (bleeping) knows it. Heads are going to roll over there if things don’t change fast. Wade’s not going to put up with bull(bleep) excuses …

 

Hopefully this game is a decisive win, but if not,

We shall see...

 

It's too late now for heads to roll. If changes are needed to be made they will be done at seasons end & not now.

I think Lapo is who they are referencing.  He's full of excuses.  His media scrum this week was ridiculous.  If the offense, and in particular the passing game, doesn't show up again that's a full half season of garbage below average offense and Lapo won't survive the bye.

Firing LaPo before Hall would be mind boggling. The thought of Buck Pierce being our OC doesn't fill me with confidence if that happens.

I just hope the fans are fair to Nichols today. We don’t need the boo birds to start chirping if he struggles at the beginning of the game. It won’t do anything to help his game.  

He needs our support because it sounds like they’ll be a large contingent of rider fans at the game. Who I assume will not be kind to him. 

Most loyal hardcore informed BB fans who have been around football and know the game want Nichols to succeed and know full well football is dependent on all players doing their job. When we get frustrated by his inconsistent play doesn't mean we are haters. Please don't generalize fans who are frustrated with our QB play means we are haters who don't understand the game. It irritates me when I see certain media or BB representatives do that.

I don't believe Miller is fond of anyone on the football ops side right now. First chance he gets, he's going to bring in 'his guys'.

Who's that?  He hired Walters and O'Shea.

Did he? Walters was here before Wade, if Wades guys were available at that time it would be a different story.

Wow...I’ve read my post multiple times and I’m confused. I didn’t call out any fans nor did I call anyone “haters”. 

I just hoped that Nichols would be given some time to get his game back on track. Trust me...I’ve expressed my frustration with many a bomber player. Kerwin bell  was the recipient of the most foul tirades from myself. 

So don’t get to hurt over my post.

Actually I wasn't referring to you at all and what you said in your post.

I don't blame you for thinking that but we will discuss it again when the seasons done.

It was just because you were talking about Nichols

I'll talk about Nichols.....

Saw this game as a must win for the team, and a must step up for Nichols.....who had played poorly, for a full month coming into this one.  Some of the turnovers today, were right out of 9 man football - and coming from a veteran QB - utterly unacceptable.   For whatever reason, injuries or whatever.....Nichols has completely lost his poise and confidence out there.  He is a liability at this point

In the 2013 off-season  Wade said he would still search for a GM...then he simply kept the interim GM.

That is correct but imo, it was because the talent pool at the time was pretty thin. 

Not sure Walters is the problem.  With any kind of US scouting we'd be more than OK.  Our Cdn draft results have been above average and come on.  Who here didn't praise the O'Shea hiring when it happened? 

His biggest downfall is not dealing with the scouting issue.

The US scouting is on Walters, he's the GM, buck stops with him. If you have a weakness you take steps to address it, he has not done so.

I agree and he should be given a chance to fix it.  I just don't think he should be let go.  

This team has been rebuilding for so long that it's all people know. Its 4 games. No one needs to be fired. Most teams go through some ups and downs during a season and there is still lots more football to play. Nothing is over yet. 

 who expected Nichols to implode like this?  Five interceptions thrown in a half, two cancelled by penalties. wow.

If Nichols had played as well this season as he did since he took over, this entire situation would be much better.

Don't know what happened to him, but it has to a significant extent ruined this season.

I'm not expecting him to turn it around. 

Also, it's on the coach, the head coach,  that they didn't get some time for Streveler as this was unfolding, and did not seem to have plays for his abilities,  when he finally went in. 

Maybe somebody can offer a reasonable explanation for that apparent mistake.

This is just from an ordinary fan, maybe there's something I'm missing due to lack of knowledge.
