The Canadian Mafia

Miller, Walters, O'Shea.

So I have to say that from our 5-0 start to now I'm sure our thoughts and feelings towards them are quite different. It looked like we would be a shoe-in to host the West final, with Calgary appearing to be on the downslide, and our team playing so well in all 3 phases of the game. Now we go into the final 4 of the season needing to win 3 for sure to host the west final.It's not a terrible position but we should have been cruising.. the losses to MTL and TO on the road are inexcusable. The LDC loss... that happens. It sucks, and you think with our D we should have been able to hold things. But I don't consider that loss ridiculous or a something to question the staff and their jobs over.

I'm willing to see how the playoffs go before I make a final judgement call, but I think that this is it for the "Canadian Mafia".Time to **** or get off the post. A West Final loss at home, or, a road semi final loss is the same to me. A Grey Cup loss... sorry thanks for coming, not enough. It's Grey Cup or bust for these guys, and I don't necessarily mean all 3. But someone has to fall on their sword. it wont be good enough to get rid of our coordinators and clap our hands together saying "problem solved". Osh should have addresses Hall and his bullshit years ago. He is the biggest bozo I've seen in the business, how this guy and our goaltending coach for the Jets survive is incredible. It's like communist countries with idiot uncles in charge of a factory.

My expectations going into the year were high. After 5-0 they were sky high. The Bombers, as usual, have crushed them and made me feel bad as a fan. But what can I do? I love this terrible, yet once proud organization.

I'm not sure what my point here is.

    Miller, Walters and O'Shea are each the best person we've had in their respective jobs for nearly two decades. They shouldn't and won't be going anywhere just yet.

  • Nope....still doing a great job. We're on a 2 game slide, sure, but I know that Walters and Miller are doing a great job, and I'm pretty sure MOS is, too....

  • Who chooses the coordinators? Also, **** you a little bit. I could really do without the "bandwagon" and "adversity" comments. How many Bomber games did you travel to this year outside your home city?

Do you know that entire scene was contrived by Disney and lemmings don't actually commit mass suicide by flinging themselves off cliffs...and that species of lemming doesn't migrate? Nor are they native to Alberta where the scene was filmed.

Disney brought the lemmings to the site and placed them on a rotating platform and flung them off the cliff themselves.

They conspired to deceive their viewers for profit.

For an actual accurate example of the species Lemmings...you need to observe Trump supporters

You're the one that needs to relax as you jumped on me immediately like what I said was blasphemy. Right away you asked, Who would I replace MOS with? Like I have a magic answer. I don't know who is out there to replace anyone but status quo just can't be maintained with year after year of failure. It's not my job to find the next HC. That would be up to Walters. But we shouldn't keep coaches just by default. If they don't win after 6 seasons then it's time to move on.  All of our people in the front office from Wade Miller down to Kyle Walters, scouts , Mike O'Shea & his  coaches should be feeling the heat that if there is another year of failure as  jobs may be on the line. I don't get a sense this is the case at all. 

That's not even remotely close to what happened. You were the one who chose to respond to a post I made - and now you're apparently up in arms because I expanded on my initial commentary you misinterpreted. From what I can tell, you feel this regime should be shown the door if they go another year without winning a Grey Cup, so it wasn't some egregious thing to ask who you feel would be a good replacement. That's a valid question to ask because that likely means a retooling, if not a rebuild. I agree that the status quo isn't acceptable, particularly with regard to the 1-4 playoff record. However, the regular season record the last four years has been very good (42-25). But I also don't think it's simply a matter of canning everyone if the drought continues. It's not necessarily a black and white issue, which means there's probably merit to discussing the pros and cons of either side (retention or firing). I'll make my views clear on this, though: I'd like to see changes to the OC and the DC looking ahead to 2020 no matter what happens. Hall should've been shown the door after that 2016 playoff loss to the Lions, IMO.

The histrionics are a bit much, BTW. Nobody said it was your job, nor did it have anything to do with a "magic answer"... It was simply a way to get a conversation going regarding the future of the WFC, as you seem to be over this regime based on the comments you've made here. There's certainly no reason to get worked up about it, though.

Anyway, sorry for upsetting you. That wasn't my intention.

Or threads like this. Bandwagon jumpers are what they are.

Funny. It's like saying Nixon wasn't responsible for Watergate. :10_wink:
