Let the CFL have it's weekend, announce it on Monday so we have 2 reasons to be happy the other one is a Riders loss

Counter point: **** the Riders, and it's in our barn.....

I want to say a few years back O'Shea addressed on why he doesn't play guys in their first year.   I can't remember the exact reason but it is intentional on his part.   I want to say something about shielding them or having them learn from the sidelines.    

Former LA Rams & Washington Head Coach George Allen was just like Osh. Allen claimed for every starting rookie in the lineup, it equates to losing one game each. So if 7 rookies started they'd lose a minimum of 7 games. Of course, Allen was in his late 50's or early 60's when he coached Washington & lost in Super Bowl VII. Allen wasn't wrong as it does have some merit.  Rookies do make mistakes but I've seen veteran players who know better make stupid mistakes as well. So to base that as a team building coaching philosphy is absolutely ridiculous & closed minded. Another reason I hope Osh leaves.

And it happens in an excruciating painful gut wrenching way like they're down by two which they came back being down by 25, they march down the field from their one yard line no time on the clock, 35 yard field goal attempt hits the left upright travels across and hits the right upright and falls out. No single, no nothing, game over.

I DON'T like Davis Alexander as he is a total dickhead but my hate for the Riders run deep. I don't want them to win in our barn. So, I'm pulling for the Als.

Old coaches do lose touch. Ritchie sure did. I remember OL Coach Bill McDermott coaching in the CFL. His last stop was Edmonton in the early 2010's. The man was in his 60's & needed two knee replacements. McDermott could barely walk & every step looked painful (I could relate as I was just like that before I had my 2 knee replacements). I wondered why he put himself through such torture everyday during the season. It's all these older coaches know as they've been at it so long. It's like being in cruise control, Fourty five or more seasons coaching will do that. Guys like McDemott, Allen & Ritchie just do it. Sounds like we can add Osh to that list. Premature aging.

I'd still like to see Alexander laid out. He needs a serious case of humbling that huge ego he has.

You’re right so i try not to think of Danny Machoochoo when pulling for Montreal.

I used to call him Muchacho when he was Esks HC. Ole...

Great news in my opinion. 

The guy has his flaws and I certainly hope we see some changes but he is quite literally one of the best Bomber coaches of all time. Perhaps the best when you consider for era adjustments. Trying to replace an all time great almost never goes well. 

Very happy to see him stay here and try and right the ship. There is still a reason he was so coveted by others. 

Same old same old in bomber land.   I fully expect an even worse season next year.  

JFC, what a joke. Same old ****. Nothing changes... 

Next matter of business, get Jake Thomas locked up ASAP!

Oh yeah, he's gonna change. Don't be stupid. As far as you calling me, negative? Check the mirror, pal.

i'd rather have a rookie make the odd mistake...and learn and develop than an old guy who justv doesnt have it....or a coach's fav who has no business as a starter...that also equates to losses...likely more, and at same time you arent building depth

Suffering through rookie mistakes by promising players also sends a powerful message to both fading/complacent veterans and potential rookies.

I wouldn't say negative. More crotchety. Do you swing a broom at kids on your lawn?
