Never done that Bomber mid season before

 

I have been angry mid-season but never disinterested or bored

Honestly it was just the last game that was so awful. Prior to the bye week. The game vs the argos was pretty decent

What's worse this time around is that you could see Mike Kelly was a mistake, you could see that Mack was a mistake but I was really cheering for Walters/OShea even though we were really following much the same pattern as other years...

It all went downhill when Willy got hurt. Our backup QBS are very bad. With just average backup QB play... it's a different story really

Give this group a chance with a more experienced QB, they were doing OK (other than against Hamilton or Edmonton LOL) when Willy was in there

To be fair Hamilton was blowing out everyone and the Edmonton game was close until willy got hurt

And we have an average QB now in Matt Nichols.  I'm pretty excited for the second half of the season now, especially with the D and special teams starting to come around and look strong.

Tend to agree. Should be interesting. I will say tho... I want MB gone at years end but when you have qbs who can't throw the ball accurately more than 5 yards.... not sure it matters who the OC is.

Who's better, Matt Nichols or Max Hall? Realizing that Hall is done ...

Max Hall with or without coke...?

Easily Matt Nichols. 

I mean, did we not see average QBing with him two years ago, or was it below average?

I agree, very interested to see this team going forward from the Banjo Bowl on, all may not be lost even if we lose this weekend.

You know, if you get past the first few days after a loss things don't look so bad. I found once you start into the scotch you should let your DD do the thinking and typing. Mine has no clue about the finer points of getting shellacked on the field. 

agree op, I don't care much anymore either. I was close to sick of the mess when they let Drew get pounded week after week till he finally got badly injured.

 

Lastest qb move smells like desperation to me. hope it works, but…. I doubt it.

 

I Like Ritchie Hall though. defence is pretty good. Make him head coach, and build from there.

I'm concerned it's not enough. We need that lineman that Edmonton got. Damnit!

There is a CFL regulation that a team can have only one Simmons on its roster at a time.

I think we all were/are. I still am. I'm sick (and bored) of the merry-go-round we've endured over the past 10 seasons at CEO, GM, and mostly coach. I don't want a 'bum' in there forever, but I don't want to be changing them out every year either - I like to see them get enough rope to hang themselves with. MOS is starting on his rope unfortunately but he's Canadian and loyal to the game - both as a player and now as a coach - so I do want him to succeed and since he's our coach I want to see him succeed here. 

 

I'm still in his corner but it gets tougher and tougher

I honestly don't know what o shea brings to the table as a head coach?

Maybe players respect only?

He certainly doesn't bring intensity. He doesn't bring any great game planning.

He doesn't have the appearance of a guy who isn't over his head or someone in complete control.

As a head coach I want someone who's a strong leader. I think O'Shea is a decent leader, but you're right in that I'd like to see more intensity/fire from him at times.

He looks like he's one of the boys...that is not a good trait for leadership.

Chris Jones is an a hole but as an outsider looking at him its clear that he calls the shots and is in full control.

He looks like he gets the most out of his players and knows when to push buttons or when to change gears when things are not working.

He gave away Nicholls who has done way more while OShea rewards Brohm with a start.

That's a pretty good observation. It's like he's the leader, but also one of the boys. He's struggling with no longer being a teammate and with being the boss. His job isn't to be friends with players or to be loyal. His job is to win games.

1) O'Shea has not named the starter yet.

2) You would really start a QB who has had only 2 or 3 practices with a new team?

Oh, come on, you're not seriously advocating starting a QB who has been here 1 day are you? And blaming O'Shea for that?

He's not rewarding him, he has no choice.

If any single thing will doom O'Shea, it might just be his identifying with the players too much. Once you step up out of the ranks, a line is crossed and you have to make s decision where your duties and loyalties lie.
