Even when they win they will always suck so there’s that comforting thing to lean on.

My bad...I musta seen the wrong score

they're called the RedBlacks now. yes in prior years the defences usually ruled in the first 3 - 5 games as the offences needed to work out the kinks. Not sure what the heck is going on this year.

Umm?

Defences should catch up...ours..needs tweaking tho with scheme and personelle or may be left in the dust... Nice to see the Riders in last albeit only 2 games in..but still nice lol

Fifth option doesn't have to be dead weight and garner zero attention...also nobody said everyone needs to haul in 100 yard a a game..but a guy out there who draws extra coverage from your 1A and 1B receiver may allow those 2..or one of the others some days to go off..much like Lawler..that Canadian doofus who ate our lunch allowed wheatfall and mitchel..of all people be free to make plays on us at will We used to run Lawler..Demski..Adams..Bailey..Woli...then had similar units with Schoen mixed in...where was the useless turd there doing absolutely nothing? And when we ran out 5 recievers who made plays..ZC flourished..we were class of league and winning cups...until the issues now crept in..no depth..reliance on old ghys who just can't cut it no more..not allowing youth to get reps..ignoring rules...etc..etc..

Yup...piss poor construct based soley on a coaches bias..

Check the stat sheet. That's literally what happened.

We dont k kw what osh hy younger has all the Americans on the roster cuz younger wants them. Our D sucks through 2 games tho, our O doesn’t, our sp teams don’t. That’s on younger. I don’t care who the irrelevant 5th receiver is honestly. They have not ever said they "decide" the roater..ever...no coordinators do.. yes they have input and all but in the end osh picks the guys based on their input and his assessment.. period..like every other professional team...everywhere If u seriously think condell wants Corcoran or Cobb over Singer..heck even sloth Fredrickson your crazy End of day HC picks roster..decides how he wants to use ratio and in our case ignore a couple rules that would help us in a huge way We dont know what osh even has declared for each side of the ball...we curreny have 6 on offence..if he woukd Nationale Bryant we could.freely sub in an american...if he delcalre 2 on defwnce only 5 need to be on offence and again we could freely sub...its pretty simple...Osh is a stubborn pouty guy...doesnt like a rule so thats his selfish stance..and he a historical crappy lineup maker...he was all hail Osh when he was loaded with prime talent...5 yrs ago...but when he needs to actually create and visualize..and assess talent he sucks ass...he still thinks guys are prime feom eons ago...hence our constant issues

All of this is very wrong for all of the reasons already outlined in the last dozen posts. Brady, Demski, Nield, Neufeld, Wallace, Bryant If we were using our ratio to its full extent, this easily accomplishes what we want it to without us being pigeon holed into a Canadian fullback, tight end, receiver, whatever for that last spot.

Something is going on with defences.... This week almost every QB had career numbers....virtually every defence was lit up. Not defending ours as it was bad, but look a the numbers for Kelly, Alexander, Collars, Bo, Rourke and Harris....what the.....actually heck, look at those numbers....

Picks this week need to be in by Friday Jun 19 @ 6:30PM Standings below: Google DocsMBB 2026 Pick 'Ems

In defense of defenses, I think some, I repeat some not all, of it might be the advantage the league is giving to the offenses e.g. limiting the holding calls allowing qb’s to run thru their reads.

So guess Montreal and Toronto don’t have a D either ???

Of course that's how the ratio works whether he's a full time starter or not. Daniels comes on and a Canadian receiver comes off. If the TE is an American then an import receiver comes off. Obviously in order to make room for an import TE then someone like Ayers would have to come off. Regardless, that TE would have to be capable of being an offensive weapon and not just an extra blocker. You even suggested that requirement. At the moment we've already switched to a 3 Canadian receiver in order to have 3 import OL. The only other option is to replace an import OL for a Canadian for those snaps a import TE is used. There are only 4 DI roster spots which is the bigger issue IMO. We're already NOT choosing to have a receiver as a DI. We CHOOSE to draft a Canadian TE as part of the equation forming the ratio and use of our DI's.

This is a wild sentence to type out when your belief system made you forget about Tim White and Tommy Nield.

Choosing to make that argument when our wb goes over 400nyards passing and multiple receivers had very good stats lines seems like poor timing for this argument.

People were wrong. Dude obviously gives the coordinators their say. If you don’t think so guess Condell and younger are full of **** also cuz they say that. It’s collaborative. O’Shea likely has a say in special teams and the last couple Canadians on the roster. It’s why younger has all the Americans on the roster cuz younger wants them. Our D sucks through 2 games tho, our O doesn’t, our sp teams don’t. That’s on younger. I don’t care who the irrelevant 5th receiver is honestly.

On a positive note for bombers, it does seem like every defence in the league is terrible this year

We have a Super El Nino. We're burning up.

How can that not be on O'Shea? He's the Head Coach. All final decisions rest with him including personne, who plays & schemes. Didn't we have this discussion last November when this group was polarized to fire or rehire Walters & Osh?

Is Kian Schafer-Baker the most insufferable & unlikeable receiver in the CFL? The constant posing after a catch. Lying on the ground & pretending to chill should have been a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. He just looks like & acts like a fool.

I stick to an opinion because my belief system tells me I'm right. I don't expect every Bomber receiver to get a thousand yards & I never said anything like that about Cobb. I do expect our receivers to work together as a unit making it difficult for defenses to cover them all completely. To me, Cobb is not a threat nor is he even a concern. We let Wheatfall & Stearns go & so far playing on teams with OC's not named Hogan, they look very good. Yeah, our passing attack is working but we're only as good as our weakest link. We also are thin at receiver with little depth. One or two injuries & we'll be in trouble like last season. We're fine as long as we're healthy. Think Cobb will step up if he is called upon? Maybe but I doubt it.

Yes. Not taking advantage of the DA rule is pretty ridiculous. It’s interesting seeing our depth chart vs others. I’m always like what is this DA thing Calgary is using or Hamilton or Toronto or bc or Sask or Ottawa or Montreal or Quebec City or Edmonton even.

Look at it from a different perspective - we literally handed this guy a roster spot. That spot doesn’t need to be a Canadian at all - the minute we start using the roster rules appropriately, we could change absolutely nothing about our current roster except make Daniels an American and finally call Stanley Bryant a Canadian like we are allowed to. Daniels doesn’t need to be interchangeable with those guys at all, he is currently required to by nature of us ignoring the roster rules because O’Shea doesn’t “believe in them”.
