WBBFanWest Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Dear Blue Bombers, On Friday, September 25th, I'll be coming to Winnipeg for the game and bringing my adult son for his first ever taste of CFL football. I'm not asking you to win, but please don't stink it up like you did in Montreal. At least try and act like you actually want to put on a good show for your fans, ok? Can we do that one little thing? Also, if it's not too much to ask, could you do a public firing of Marcel Bellefeuille before the coin toss? Thanks a bunch. A loyal but very discouraged fan.

He actually acknowledged that the players haven't been living up to expectations, and that him and the players all appreciate the Winnipeg fans in that we have a very different fan base here in Winnipeg who are extremely passionate and knowledgeable.

Well then, all I can say is that they have a strange way of showing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Came into this thread expecting a "please stop sucking" request and walking from thread with expectations met. Also, I Love the Bombers but lately (re: past decade) it feels like the unrequited sort from some John Huges movies... Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBBFanWest Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 What more can you ask than that they try as hard as they can? What I expect is that they at least look like they are embarrassed by their performance and do everything they can to try and fix that. When I watched them play Montreal, they didn't look like that at all, especially in the first half. O'Shea himself suggested that they were flat. If they can't bring up the level of their play when they're looking at a game as important as this last one, I'd submit that there are some, more than a few, that are not "trying as hard as they can".

Rich Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 How do we really know that film wasn't House of Cards? Or an episode from the Carry On series? Both more entertaining than watching a Bomber game these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 How do we really know that film wasn't House of Cards? Oddly appropriate given that our team falls like said house, in the face of adversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBBFanWest Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's like people think the Bombers are actively trying to lose... No, I don't think that they are actively trying to lose, it's worse. They're trying to win and too often, are failing miserably. I posted this thread tongue in cheek, but at the same time I am really disappointed in this team, especially the last game because it really didn't look like a team playing with a sense of urgency, a sense of we have to dig in and win this thing. And when they are hit with adversity, they just seem to immediately and completely fold. And that is discouraging because that speaks directly to the heart of this team, and this is a team, with the exception of the defense, that is not showing a lot of heart. And that to me is a puzzle because I had assumed that when O'Shea was hired, that, with his history, heart would never be something that we'd have to worry about with him in charge. But it's like he just assumes that everyone is wired like him, and when they are not, he doesn't know how to motivate them. And from my experience, a team with no heart, regardless of talent, will go nowhere. rebusrankin and GCJenks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan007 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I hate the person that taught IC Khari how to post gifs. I taught a few people here...not sure if he was one of them. On behalf of those that teach...we apologize for helping him out. He did after all look like a lame lobotomized dog at the time, so we were just trying to give him a boost.

rebusrankin Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 When its essentially a 50/50 chance that the team gets its ass kicked or not (5 losses by 20 or more, another by 18), the whole we love the coach, we're trying and dang thanks for being fans talk is meaningless.
