Open question for MBBers - direction of the franchise

Just curious, since there are many strong opinions about the current regime, past regimes, and how to build a winner and get us out of this funk. So here is my question:

As a Bomber fan, if you were told "This management team can get you a regular season division title and a Grey Cup appearance by next year, and back-to-back Grey Cup games, and win a Grey Cup in your home park within the next 5 years, but within those same 5 years you will also have to miss the playoffs with only 5 wins, and 2 years after your Grey Cup you will have to suffer an 0-9 start", as a fan would you take that offer?

  • Do you think that the man who chose Bellefeuille, Tracy and our previous defensive coordinator, and thought Marve and Brohm were good enough backups fpr Willy  has what it takes to do better next year

  • The only freefall I see going on is your attitude. You're spiraling out of control.   I'm going to grab some popcorn.

  • It is interesting that the Stampeders had 3 seasons where they were the joke of the league.  The last year that Buono was there in 2002 (6 - 12) and the two seasons after that (2003 & 2004)  at 5

Merged the direction of franchise/health threads

I predict that the only games we will win are the meaningless ones where teams are playing their backups and saving their starters for the playoffs, same as last year. We are easily the worst team in the league and Walters deserves his share of the responsibility for that. He has done almost nothing to upgrade the talent on this team. 

 

Banjo Bowl? Forget it. I predict a Rider blowout.

 

Walters is a dud and Miller will turf him when fans stop showing up and the empty seats sit there for all to see. Many fans are already telling Miller that they won't be attending any more games and won't be renewing their season tickets. 

 

This team is rotten to the core and is in total freefall and the real rock bottom is coming. When we get there the BOD will turf Miller in an attempt to show that they are trying to do something positive but they answer to no one and that is the real problem with this team. Lets not forget about the lawsuits re: IGF and RCMP investigations either. No the real rock bottom is coming yet.

There's no RCMP investigation related to IGF.

And there will not be. The bigger the scale of a construction project, the greater the chance of unintentional screwups. The new cop shop is behind schedule and over budget, as is the Transcona Plessis underpass, but the floodway expansion was not.

I predict ......blah, blah, blah........ere for all to see. Many fans are already telling Miller that they won't be attending any more games and won't be renewing their season tickets. 

 

This .... coming yet.

Is there an end to your constant drivel? Or is this just the world you live in.

Here's a thought...don't like the Bombers?...pick another team to "cheer" for.

Please.

There always seems to be the notion that a "fan" "fanatical" is in fact do or die, thick or thin. Perhaps some of us on this site are simply fans of the CFL and more so fans of GOOD football.

Is that you Nate?

Probably not Nate.....no references to hobos or lemmings, yet....

I'm waiting for the close loss in the Banjo Bowl to comment.

Yep, sorry. My bad. Different story. Something about the police HQ not IGF.

Close loss? Maybe. But I have the same bad feeling I had when I predicted the loss last week. This team is spiraling out of control.

It might come down to whether the players still think they have a chance to get into the playoffs or even win the Banjo Bowl, for that matter. The difference between winning and losing, especially against the Riders, often depends on confidence, and the Bombers have to be pretty fragile right now after all those lopsided losses and then getting blown out by an 0-9 team.
