Mr Dee Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 While we tick tock towards more 2014 news announcements, we can throw out the dirty bath water that was the season of 2013. Goodbye/riddance to these: - 2013 year of the big BM movement (Buchko, Mack released) - Less Bucking around now, Pierce is finally traded. - torturous HC decisions - torturous HC non-decisions - O-line deficiencies underlined once again - the emergence and disappearance of Jade Etienne (Burke?) - Burke re-invents the dog house and the aw-shucks interview - thankfully, the visor look did not catch on - In the Urban Dictionary, the term "No Offense" is used to make insults socially acceptable. In Bomberland it meant extending Gary Crowton's contract. - our defence got exposed more often than Miley Cyrus - the expresson "no hope" was used to describe our chances every game we faced - if we could buy 'laughing' stock through a broker, we'd all be rich Feel free to add your goodbyes… SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 - people don't blitz in pre-season games - import tackles who can actually play are very rare - let's recycle some more kickers...to gain two net yards on each kick off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Let's take an all rookie team to play Hamilton & lose 52-0. Not to evaluate these guys but because Burke was afraid of injuries. Leave just about every veteran player back home in Winnipeg. No better way to get the team in a positive, feel good mood to start the season.

braddman19 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Goodbye: - Blank stares by the head coach, acting stupid, like he shouldn't be the one responsible for this frigging mess. - Hopefully goodbye to penalties by our team on the very first play of the game. Welcome: - Coach O'Shea and the intensity, accountability, and passion that I hope he and his staff will bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Good bye to giving up late in a game when their is more then enough time to attempt a drive and field goal and hope that you can win in OT despite the defense playing extremely poor in the last 2 quarters blowing a big lead. Good bye to droopy dogg face..... Good bye to sitting a qb that made the Blue 1st in the red zone at the beginning of the season in favour of playing a QB who managed a negative qb rating.... Good bye injury proned rbs..... Good bye to having to watch the tape to figure out what to do next despite Bob Irving being more then nice enough to giving you an easy out to explain why you lost the game.... Good bye to ignoring the o-line.... Good bye to being satisfied or happy when a qb throws for more then 200 yards in a game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

road griller Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Goodbye to everything except the Banjo Bowl victory. It was a great day. New year, fresh start. Hopefully the beginning of something we can all be proud of for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Goodbye first pass attempt of the season being intercepted. That really did set the tone for the season eh. That & the 52-0 pasting set the tone. We lost both exhibition games & I think all we scored in those games was a measley field goal. That was when I realized Burke was just a dumb & clueless head coach who couldn't motivate Tony Robbins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Goodbye (hopefully) to throwing a 3 yard hitch on 2nd down, when you need 8. voodoochylde, kelownabomberfan and Logan007 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Good by to the absolute worst football season I can remember and good riddance. I thought 2012 was bad but my stars 2013 topped it on the suck meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Good bye to "TAKE A KNEE!!!" I think O'Shea would rather pull his own fingernails out with pliers than take a knee with 25 seconds on the clock and a chance to win the game.

iso_55 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 1970, 1997, 1998 & 2013. The 4 absolute worst Blue Bomber seasons I've ever experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I honestly didn't think anything could try my patience with this team more than Mike Kelly clowning around but geez at least I was angry with Kelly, I'll take anger over apathy any day. It was hard to care about this team and that is a real damning statement about things. Fred C Dobbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 You never came across to me as apathetic. You still had a ton of passion all season. Even when it was evident that the season was lost. I could sense your frustration level was very high. You're one of the best & knowledgeable fans here.

Even when it was evident that the season was lost. I could sense your frustration level was very high. You're one of the best & knowledgeable fans here. That's only because my passion for arguing never goes away, but it was too the point where watching the games was just "ho hum another blow out who cares" no anger, no frustration just acceptance and that is a terrible feeling. johnzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I was to the point that every loss meant one more notch in Burke's coffin. My worry was that we'd win 2 out of our last 3 & he'd be retained by the tall foreheads running the team. Thankfully, that never happened as their foreheads weren't so tall & had common sense as their guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
