Seemed over the top, but judging by some comments it feels like there is a segment who feel that loss exposed us for the longtime defensive deficiencies they have been concerned about, even since last year. Their words, not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 28 minutes ago, TrueBlue4ever said: Open question for the group: Is last week’s loss: (a) just a one off, no need to overreact (b) a sign that the house of cards this team has been is now collapsing I assume there is a middle ground “c” choice (concern there) but again some of the rhetoric seems anything g but moderate. Thoughts? Was this just one bad loss, or have we finally been exposed? I still feel like you're the one reading way too much into people's posts.. We have suffered a lot of injuries and it is affecting us. We've continued to overcome those losses but of course there will be a point when it would become unsustainable for any team. We are not seeing much pressure from our DL - which is how Evans was able to experience such great success - but we still are not rotating our starters out to keep them fresh. I have the ability to be confused about that aspect of our roster management without believing the sky is falling.

TrueBlue4ever Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Ok, maybe I am reading too much in to it. There can be confusion and valid questions. I have outlined the words used that seem over the top to me. I don’t think O’Shea is garbage in this area, and I don’t think Walters is displaying too casual an attitude about fixing it. That’s all. I see the same words you do, seems the loss increased the temperature a lot around here, and I don’t remember it being the hot button topic it is now when we were 12-1, even if there was more quiet concern. I certainly don’t remember this being of any concern last year, as was suggested. But my memory may be selective.

Geebrr Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 This season is 18 games. It is an eternity. Every game isn’t going to be a breeze, last year was a historically dominant team. We played like **** for a month in 2019 and then went on a historically dominant defensive playoff run. Other teams may play better than us a week here or there. People need to take a breath.

17to85 Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 O'sheas weakness as a coach has always been roster usage and it is something that has been talked about before in grey cup seasons. Having injuries and already diminished depth because of salary cap reasons brings it into sharper focus. No one honestly thinks he is a bad coach, just wondering what the point of putting guys who don't play on the roster is when it leaves us short handed in a game shod injuries occur.

17to85 Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 And it's that unwavering faith in players to step in that helps fuel the success. But at some point why are we just putting people kn the roster to fill a jersey? Makes no sense to me. Put guys on the roster who can play somewhere. Rosters are small enough already. rebusrankin, Noeller and K-Shack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 Nobody said Osh is a bad coach..or the team is collapsing But no coach is perfect and they all have bad points...ours is at times...key words here..at times roster management Hats off to the team for assembling the depth they have to sustain us in a yr where we have had a lot of key injuries...point I trying to make is that as it got depleted they sat back a bit too long restocking it...and its obvious last 2 games with lack of reciever depth and dline and db depth...And without immediate influx...or return of injured guys we could be in tough. Heck we have had all yr to solve the WIL spot and have yet to adequately fill that...why? I have faith in the leaders here but sometimes your faith gets tested...

rebusrankin Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I feel its possible to both believe in this team, be happy that its 12-2 and be worried about roster management and the apparent holes in a few spots. Much like one can both be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and a sleazy male stripper. HardCoreBlue, Geebrr, wbbfan and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to see. We've been off for 2 weeks & the headlines I read was, "As injuries mount"..... Instead of, "Bombers getting healthy for stretch run"... 12 hours ago, JCon said: Curious as to why the Bombers didn't 6-game Hansen? They just put him on the 1-game and extended him. There must be a strategic reason to do so? No idea. The way teams tinker in secrecy with all their injured lists, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
