Doesn't matter what the majority think and nobody wants the team to be bad,  

I don't think that's actually true. There are some who would prefer the team be really bad week in and week out until they get their way and everyone is fired and the roster is built to their standard.

First, I'm not shitting on you.

Some fans pay more attention to the team, that's just how it is. 

But one thing is certain: if performances like those we saw this past Saturday keep happening, the casual fans will vote with their feet. It has happened before, it will happen again.

I remember attending a game at the end of 2014. Attendance was poor, and everyone but the die hards was there for the beer. The game consisted of watching Henry Burris and Co. shred our secondary.

There have been some major warning signs. I mean, losing a Grey Cup to Nick Arbuckle - that's quite glaring if you stop to think about it. 

Sure I was at games also especially at the older stadium with barely anyone there on a September afternoon weekend game. It happens. But I’m curious how much rope they got with the non hardcore fan. Still see tons of ppl wearing bombers stuff every day.  The vocal minority complains but will continue to watch and support. How long until the casuals stop going. That’s when we might see change. I just don’t think 5 or 10 even 50 ppl on here if that right now speaking for 32000 others. That’s all. Devils advocate kind of. What if they win the next 3 now? I mean we all know it’s unlikely but… honestly that’s more likely than firing anyone.

Do the handful of you ever think you’re the niche vocal minority of fans who are never actually satisfied. You know in business If you keep complaining about something or keep writing 1 star reviews at restaurants, eventually you aren’t taken seriously cuz all you do is just say the same stuff. Now there’s over 31000 tickets sold. I wonder how the other 30995 people feel. Prob not like the handful on here and until they do, there will be no firings. This is the vocal minority of fans on here. Most ppl don’t think about the bombers when it’s not game day. Something to keep in mind really. You aren’t gonna get your way yet. 

B4 I’m **** on I don’t disagree with the vocal minority. I’m just realistic in expectations. 5 straight cup appearances means the rope is very long whether we all accept it or not. Nobody was fired after 2 and 6 so why after 3 and 3. It’s not gonna happen. 

This is an online forum, for a cfl team, that dates back some 20 years, filled with a bunch of middle aged and older posters. I don’t think any one is confusing posters here with the average fan, on fb or rum hut bro. 
 Never satisfied? You don’t have to go back far to find out that’s not true. 
 

Not sure what you’re on about, what kind of business has some one giving 1 star restaurant reviews? 
 Take a look at the training camp media reporting and none bomber media in this city. It’s been close minded positivity and fluff pieces for years, and it’s on the verge of death. Puffed up unrealistic “review” content like that or 3dn/tsn pandering to markets erodes credibility. But if that’s what you want, you can find it. 
 

No one is expecting firings to happen in some short period of time. We all know the reality of the situation with the mafia. Changes, and accountability mid season are what people are talking about and hoping for. 
 

How do you think the 31k feel when they show up expecting the dynasty bombers to show up, and instead sit through us getting blown out? How long until those more casual fans turn on the team and stop showing up? 
 

you don’t want to get $h!7 on, but you get what you give bud. Do you legitimately think it’s better/less annoying to complain about people complaining while not actually contributing to discussion? 
 Are you really fatigued by people saying these things, or is it that it keeps being true? 
 

Realistic expectations, when you’re talking about a hc/gm thatve been in the same job for 10+ years, and lost back to back championship games, the reality is we are near the of this mafia run. Some parts of it will continue, but some will not. The least probably out come is we go into next year with the same power structure top to bottom. Especially with the heavy reality of the front office cap, and the amount of younger guys we’ve lost to the league. Look at how much of the architects of 19/21 are already gone. 
 

You seem to think that the downward turn and reduced levels of on field success is some how sustainable. A second year with a bad start and losing streak, 3 missed championship opportunities, these things are compiling and leading us to change. It’s only a matter of how extensive and when. 
 

Personally, I think Wade will retire with in a couple years. And I think one of Walters/mos will be gone in the off season, likely Walters.

I think most casual and semi casual fans would rather their team be bad than mediocre. In the nba the teams in the worst spot, are the ones in the middle of the none play off pack. Most people perceive the come back from bad, to be easier and shorter than from mediocre. 
 IMO, in football, if you don’t have the franchise qb, you’re in the same boat as the rest who don’t. And you don’t need a tank or tear down year to turn it around. Calgary this year and Toronto proved that. 
 I don’t think posters on here want us to lose, I do think a lot of people have low expectations. Until we make better decisions, mine are low.

Speaking as a long term hard core fan, this is true. It's easier on the psyche to expect less during downward trends. Of course you also get occasional surprises, like 2019 and 2007.

firings in football especially are a cumulative thing....happens when over the course of a several seson'sthings are trending in wrong way...and mistakes....poor decisions...reluctance/inability to correct keep occuring...we are there this yr....failure...for similar reasons as last 3....it's time

I would say O Shea has less then 10% chance at getting canned this season. It's not happening.

nope unless all hell breaks loose.....and if the whole season tho is just a continuation of the season to date  so far....I wouldn't be sold on him be re-upped and serious consideration has to be had not to

Or really fail to acknowledge that when they got what they wanted in a lot of areas (a younger team, fewer high paid vets) the team is markedly worse.

If anyone wants...check the receipts on not re-signing Lawler.  Certain people sing with the wind...as experts.

Even if they don't win another game. MOS isn't going anywhere. People can ***** and complain all they want, there aren't going to be any coaching/gm changes during the season.

Id say odds of an extension  are high

Walters and MOS are both up after this year. I expect Miller brings both back

I agree, I’d put the number at 0. Short of him completely imploding as a person and doing some thing that involves arrest.

those changes seldom lead to success as well imo. 
 The in season adjustments we could at most see is shifting some role stuff and taking power away. But I don’t think we’d know if that happened.

imo very high for 1, very low for 2. I think it’ll be Walters who bites it. He might return to the oua, which might be framed any which way. 
 

We’ve already lost a lot of front office types. Now Mac is taking gm interviews.
