Ok Farhan

Except when I’m drunk on gameday but that doesn’t count

Then let's go show he's the MOP in the game that matters most. Run the ball right down the Lions throats. Let's see a Fred Reid-like performance like we saw in 2009.

It's really kind of funny to me how so many people have fallen off the Osh bandwagon because of perceived roster management faults. Comparing him to Maurice and saying he lost the room.... I mean, didn't last year prove that Maurice wasn't the problem? What do you think would happen of th bombers were stupid enough to jettison Osh this offseason?? I get having questions, but man it is just overboard around here most days.

Osh is smug sure but constantly calling him stupid names makes you an ass hole. Regardless of how many players you are "boys" with. The childish insults aren't really necessary are they. We are 11 and 4. Not 4 and 11.

Well for one...he's not a corner

"Fans can't point out we could roster a Canadian fb instead of Jackson if I cut the fb from the PR" - Mike oshea probably.

It’s kind of funny to me how you spent the first few games of the year belittling anyone who had a problem with anything, then after we had a few ugly games, you were basically acting as if our run of success was over and you had no confidence anymore, but now you’re the one talking about others going overboard. I’ve been pretty even keel with it all year. Our roster management sucks and I’m not worried about the results changing my mind. I’m worried about the fact that our results could be so much better if we did things a little differently.

Really too bad about Agudosi. Had high hopes for him on this team. On a side note, he was one of the players that participated in hosting local cruncher players (kids u10) at the stadium and ran them through drills. My boy loved it and said Agudosi was awesome! Best of luck to him.

Brady is the MOP and the media needs to wake up and realize this rather than these false narratives about Collaros, Kelly and Adams.

Our PR use is a joke and continues to be a joke. We had Deng on our neg list for over a year. You bring him in and cut him within a week? What the **** are your scouts doing if you neg list a guy and then cut him without even a training camp or a live rep?

All of us on this forum are really 'geared up' for this game. We can all agree that Osh is a godsend - and hopefully is here for years to come. We can also agree that we may not agree with some of his roster decisions - thats ok. We are all Bomber fans - and all want whats best for the team. I encourage everyone to continue to speak their minds ( its what makes this forum fun) - but try not to take or make things personal. I enjoy lurking here everyday! Go Blue!

I'm going with gravy-drinking inbreds for now.

And remember! When you’re frustrated with Osh… your coach could always be Craig Dicklesson… I mean Nodickenson… I mean…

Some of you have this down to a tee. If MOS wins it is despite his roster management,if he loses it is because of his roster management. I get it,the guy has won 2 Cups but has some serious roster management issues. Show me ANY coach that does not have a weakness, even the greatest of coaches have issues. I have a feeling that even if MOS wins a THIRD cup some of you posters still will be bashing his decisions about his roster.

I used to be happy just to make the playoffs. Hosting the playoffs? Dare to dream! These are the good times, I hope everyone is enjoying them

among a small handful of people on this board. I don't think the VAST MAJORITY of fans understand what is being complained about here or even thinks about it. They think about wins and losses, and the fact that we're number 1 in the West. It's easy to get caught up in the vacuum that is MBB, but a few angry people here does not equate to the majority of the fan base.

Jackson.

And yet 2022 was the franchise best season... So I don't buy the logic here and can see why they ran it back one more time. Perhaps the guys brought in weren't as good as some think. Every year there are seemingly talented players come and go and never amount to anything.

I was concerned when Rigmaiden left about the quality of recruit. Perhaps it is a larger factor.

nope....nobody really who I can see I question at times our coaches ability to recognize, or utilize talent brought in as well....or put the time in to develop....several times, and a few recently I can think of off the top of my head.....Lucky Jackson and Barrington Wade...deemed not good enough here...or worth developing so we cut...and both land on NFL teams...Jackson still there, mind you Wade was released, but still...there was another one or 2 guys during this regimes time that escape me.

Are you my wife??

agree....especially when you look at and compare what he has done, and is doing in regards to some of the best all-time Canadian RB's best seasons....to me it's a slam dunk

I think there's some very valid points on the roster management. But it's the same complaints when we were one of the crappiest teams in the league... Roster management. Got to take the good with the bad. Bombers have cracks right now, but we've clinched a home playoff game, and have a legit shot at the Grey Cup again this year. That would be 4 straight cup appearances. Completely understand the passion here from this fan base. It's also good to step back and realize that we still have a very good team and because of the culture that's been built, it's an attractive market to play here. Gone are the days of crappy coaches like John Daly, Tim Burke or Gary Etchevery. Looking forward to Friday and hoping for a W. It's up to the players now.

Here's who's left: NO NAME POS A/N/G HT WT AGE COLLEGE 81 Alston, Ravi WR A 6'3 209 24 Montana State 90 Fox, Miles DT A 6'1 297 26 Wake Forest 49 Garbutt, TyJuan DE A 6'2 261 24 Virginia Tech 45 Haba, Celestin DE A 6'2 250 24 Texas A&M-Commerce 42 Karamoko, Souleymane DB G 6'2 213 26 Laval 69 Machino, Tomoya OL G 6'5 307 26 Kyoto 00 Maruo, Les LB G 6'0 225 27 Texas-San Antonio 29 McCrae, Greg RB A 5'10 173 25 Central Florida 38 McGhee, Tyrique DB A 5'10 185 25 Georgia 60 Richmond, Drew OL A 6'5 314 27 Southern California 96 Schmekel, Tanner DT N 6'1 291 24 Regina I guess they need a back Cdn DT and there is literally no one else.

Same. The tc cuts too. Probably this. Tbh idc if it’s ignorance apathy stupidity complacency or w/e else. Figure out why the tire went flat after you fix it, and prevent it from re occurring. But first just fix it. Pr expands. At the end of the season the guys on the pr revert to free agency. If we assume every player cut in the last two years is indeed worse than the players we’ve kept, by means of character or who knows what, we are still left with a fundamentally flawed roster with no nose tackle, a group of small undersized dts where one Canadian starter is beyond done, no depth guys who can cover WRs, and no run stoppers. We don’t even have an extra ni teams guy, or holder. We still have an American fb who can’t cover catch run or play d. We have no guys to plug in if an imp db goes down, if an imp wr or Brady goes down we rely on gmc and guys who haven’t played. If Sergio gets hurt we have no options. We didn’t sign any nfl guys, or make any trades to address it either. If I had to guess, I’d say we suffer from a disconnect between what mos views as roster needs and what walters views as roster needs. mos doesn’t give af about rookies once the season begins. Guys aren’t drawing in unless we have no option. He over values intangibles over every thing else. I think he’d rather lose with guys he likes than win with guys he doesn’t. Schmuckle alone disproves the notion that we are cutting guys who don’t belong.

https://3downnation.com/2023/10/04/opinion-lions-vernon-adams-jr-should-be-m-o-p-frontrunner-entering-deciding-matchup/ it begins lol. Vaj hasn’t complete 30 passes once this year he has 4 games with 1td or less. 5 game with as many picks as tds including the big ol 6 pick game. Of his 3 best performances 1 game was a loss and another was a near collapse. 4 games under 300 passing. And they didn’t miss a beat with out him winning both games by a combined 47-9. He’s been sacked 30 times this year. Zach also hasn’t completed 39 passes in a game. He has 3 games with 1 td or less. He has 4 games with as many picks as ints. Including the pick 6 games. Zach has 8 games under 300 this year. And we also failed ok with our Zach. Zach has been sacked 24 times kelly hasn’t completed more than 23 passes this year. He has 7 games with 1 td or less. He has 6 games with as many picks as tds. He has 9 games under 300. Though he does have 8 rushing tds. Kelly has been sacked 9 times this year. if you swapped vaj and Kelly, both teams would have the same record. If you swapped collaros onto tor or bc, they would at worst be as good. Toronto I think would be much better. Vaj on the bombers would be comparable, Kelly I think would be screwed. None of these guys are markedly better, or deserving of a mop award. The real mop is Brady or defence

I don't know guys. I agree having Grant back in the lineup is a huge boost... But an emotional one. I don't expect he'll be lights out first game back. Anyways Bombers need to play their best and most.complete game of the year on Friday. Protect the ball, run it often, and stop forcing the big play. Defence needs to get pressure on VAJ consistently.

To be clear, I’ve been critical of roster management, yes. There’s still no head coach I’d rather have here than Mike O’Shea.

I could really use a Tim Robinson "Are you sure about that?" meme right about now...

It is now.

I'd like to see either get a shot at doing a little more pass pro. Dobson was nothing to write home about when he played in Gray's spot but it was only his first start.

yeah I noticed that. Seemed to make sense. Anyway, this is a civil issue not a legal one so the club should be able to just make this go away with a settlement offer and be done with this garbage once and for all.

Boudreau Someone needs to give Paul Boudreau a sign he can hold up on the sidelines, "Don't even think about it Buck!"

Some of the TC cuts made my eyes water, they kicked a lot of great talent straight out the door. I think the problem is they look at making as little change as possible based on previous success, when they should always have the attitude that they're coming off a bad season and need to get better in every way that they can. It's the very definition of resting on their laurels, which never works very well in the wide world of sports.

It's natural for the positions you basically don't use in your scheme to have the most depth. I'm mostly confused as to why we don't dress a 3rd kicker.

That's his age.

Made this comment (about Deng) shortly after he was signed. I was wrong .. thought he'd at least last until the end of the year.

some head shakers....not surprising tho....I wouldn't say morons per say....Just a HC who has and plays favorites at the expense of guys who could really help, ...and it's not a good thing/look People can use excuses that "they know more"..."must be a reason".....only agree with the must be a reason, and it's not a beneficial one to the team in long haul

Grant in. Houston out. No other changes. You are correct.

Won’t hurt for sure. But we need better play calls that don’t get away from the run, target guys like lawler, etc.

Easier to be patient when you're a couple plays away from field goal range too.

Erroneous! Nichols has always made tackles. Nature of Ritchie halls defense. Nichols just doesn't get the glory stats to win something like modp because of how he plays.

Well maybe needing to get 25..30 less yards in a drive will make the task easier....it's pretty tough when you have to string together 9..10..11 play drives to get that TD...maybe that's a bit of the feeling of needing to force it Grants been out since week 5....kinda coincides with when the offence seemed to go in these spells of inefficiency...have to admit the field position swings and starting usually behind the 40 if we have to return a kickoff and having no real position flips with any punt returns has been glaring...seems we always starting drives between the 15 and 30

I won't stop raving about Rez Dogs until everyone has seen it.

Curious to see the roster. Am worried the only change will be Grant for Houston.

I bet the offense gains some consistency when Grant is back and field position isn't always such a massive loss every exchange of punts.

He's still unknown, that would just confuse the football writers as they would think Matt Nichols is a stupid choice for MODP.
