I remember when I was 55, I started to get comments from my wife who was 47 at the time (it seemed) after everything I said. She'd say, "You told me that already THREE times". It got very frustrating. I thought I was losing my mind. Now, she does it to me & I get to pay her back saying, "You already told me THREE times!!" Feels good. Lol.

Only 3 times,? You guys have nothing on booch

Is this the last chance for Strev to prove that he can be a starter in the league?   

I don’t think anyone still thinks is he’s a starter.

He’s shown that on rare occasions he can play a good game.
But most times he’s a crap passer and broken down runner.

And sometimes he is spectacularly bad.

if it isn’t, it’s pretty damn close. 

[M.O.A.B.]

How many INT will Streveller give up? 

When the first INT will happen?

When his biggest advocate (BO) is throwing shade about not being put in a position to succeed and Hogan himself admitting he's made mistakes and is still learning, I don't think you can compare the flack he's getting with what past OC's have gotten.  The heat he is getting is absolutely deserved where as the previous guys you could argue and make a legitimate defense for.

poor choice from the get go....many worried about it...Osh gushed about it....end result not shocking...and I dont think it's a matter of a yr 1 learning curve...he just dont have the chops

Yes, and he has a premier QB but the way his offence is perking, it makes me wonder if O'Shea hobbled him here.

yeah....as with other coords...and players...Osh is good at hobbling like that crazy woman in Misery....sooner he rides into sunset...the quicker we rise again

i think he has a good shot at rt. especially since holding and illegal block calls are soo rare these days. i think teams could give guys like that more shots at rt. especially if they are mobile and on the nasty side. 

 That said, I’d definitely test him early and often with speed off the edge and mix in some chop spin, ghost rush, bull slip, off balancing moves. 

too bad we likely wont put our best speed/edge guy out there for many reps....and slide the human pylon who imitates a football player many times...which makes absolutely no sense....and I sure we gonna see many sets with him on the nose...with ends out wide, and they just wash him left or right, and force the ends even wider for gapping room right up the gut....Thats always super aersome to watch

There’s weird decisions on both sides of the ball. They signed Jake to a new deal this off season. They let Kenny go. 
They aren’t related at all but Just shows the spectrum of odd decision making  

bring in a rookie OC and let zachs favorite receiver go. Just setting up for failure. Plus the state of the oline. Dobson looks pretty ok in Hamilton. Maybe having a real center helps the guards out. Didn’t even go after any of the OL available but let 1 go. And a starter at that. Is hogan part of the problem? Honestly maybe because I dunno if you can make chicken salad out of chicken **** and expect it to taste good. 

add in Woli....he was ZC safety net and salvaged many a drive....Ott center...Godber was available and i sure there was no bidding war for him and was available into FEB....He's no world beater but he solid...former 3rd over all pick and would have totally helped here....is heads and shoilders better than our stump in the middle....but nope...we were good

Whoa whoa whoa… sounds like a lot of exotic technique, excessive movement and wasted energy when a slow, straight on bullrush  will get the same results from our guys.  Crappy results, yes, but the same.

O gonna say none....and he runs for 70...throws for 260....But Brown carves us as we let him sit back and disect....and later in game they run for gobs of yards

I know riiiight I hate the people that with their long winded responses that go on and on and on and on and on with no paragraphs no sentence structure leaving us to decipher what they mean For the love of goodness be short concise and to the point enough with the PhD dissertations who do you think you are wasting our time Do you think I have time to read these responses when all one needs to do is get to the point Enough There are some of us who can write clear and to the point and not mispill things like catts and dawgs for gawds sakes Thank you for finally calling out these types of posts Literally everything that can be said in three to four words some here just feel the need to wax on and on and on  Exhausting tiring frustrating annoying And what about the horrible try at their humour ffs Don't quit your day jobs people And yes where are the paragraphs??? Did we not pass grade school language arts? Jeebus not fun There would be a lot more engagement on this site if only we could write coherent and to the point opinions and move on after making your point no need to keep saying the same thing over and over and over again without the necessary breaks in paragraphs. and appropriate use of punctuation: I don't know how many times I find myself half way thru a post and not understand why they continue to same the same things over and over again using different words but meaning the same things without the correct grammer and puntuation Did I mention the spelling errrrrers? Good grief charlie brown , learn to spell at least at the third garde level And lets get back to the humor, you're not Bill Burr, you're  a rando internet guy trying to be funny and you're not being funny not to mention the fact that you're being long winded with your responses and seem to get easily distracted with our points and just as a side bar why do they continue to play Jake Thomas? Anyway where was I oh yea tiring reading some of these posts that feel like that movie Planes Trains and Automobiles where Steve Martin's Character tells John Candy's Character he's like a chatty cathy doll yakety yakety when you tell a story have a point boy oh boy writing less I find with some is vey hard like their trying to fill space with their drivel and their half baked ideas.

Okay I've tired myself out, I'm here all week.

O gets a few FGs, maybe a TD in the first. D will start off okayish and we’ll be up 3 at the half.
DL gets gassed and ineffective and we give up a bunch of points which our vanilla O can’t keep up with.
End up losing by 10 or less. Basically the same story in every loss this season. 

[rebusrankin]

Brady is going to rush for 200 yards, have 10 catches for 70 yards, score 5 TDs and kick 4 FGs. You got to believe.

We should play BO, ND and a few others like highschool, they never come off, their only break is special teams and even with that they're depth if someone goes down. 🙂

Brady won't get 200 yards rushing, unless he does it all in the first two quarters. He could have 170 at half and F*ck Head (the OC) wouldn't get him the ball.

In reality, Brady would play better than Thomas. hell, he could play Center & be better than Kolo. Plus he could hand the ball off to himself. We don't need Streveler.

Co-ordinator maybe but would the DL coach have that much of a say in changing things? 

I know Patterson is pretty respected and has been here since before the front went to ****.

What's Patterson supposed to do being force fed shitty Canadian interior D linemen & expecting them to play at a high level??? Not his fault. It's quite sad really that thi was allowed to happen. 

In all of my years as a Bomber fan, I've seen the ups & downs. There will be good, bad & indifferent seasons. As a fan, I accept the ups & downs. However, this season is different. I feel as a fan that I've been played. There is a sense of I don't give a **** thrown towards the fans. I don't recall being this angry with the Bombers as I am with Miller, Walters & Osh about the state of the team. To stand pat in a Grey Cup hosting year as a fan I feel betrayed. To me, it's malfeasance.

He probably not overly impressed either...he is more old schoolish and played under legit old school...so this gifting roster spots and playing favs and less talented guys prob drives him insane

Yeah from the top this year feels like the organization really dropped the ball and are content with just getting the stadium filled. 
I think a lot of us were imagining the home Grey Cup being the pinnacle of the last decade spent building up the club at the box office and on the field. Especially after 3 years of close but no cigar. 
It seemed a given that they would go all out coming into this past offseason, and they just..didn’t do anything.

And a playoff flop...or not even getting in with this being a home Grey Cup appearance possibility...can likely kiss the full stadium part as well for 2026 as collateral damage

We will have nice crowds still...Likely top in league...but won't be any run of consecutive sell outs tho

[rebusrankin]

I'm with @SpeedFlex27, they seem happy that the stadium is sold out and they're making $ with a windfall from hosting the Cup to come. As a 25 year season ticket holder, it feels like a slap in the face that they decided (it appears) not to make an effort or go all in. I mean, Sask went all in for 2013 and so did BC last year. Only worked out for one team but you have to appreciate the effort.

I think what they’re finding out is why break something that isn’t broken approach maybe wasn’t as secure as they thought.

And might I add the argument there was nothing better out there than we have argument is leaking holes at this point.
