Ripper

He is a free agent at end of the year and will be 31 next year. We also sent a 5th round pick to Calgary in exchange we got a 3rd round pick, Capnigna, and a neg list player. I like the move

Messam to the stamps for rookie kicker Tyler Crapigna

Have you watched him play lately? I'm glad we got anything at all

Not everyone was a big Brendan fan, but definitely many believed he was doing a good job.

You know what drives me up the F'n wall is when people say "I shut the game off, I couldn't watch anymore" How pathetic a fan to not even watch the game. I never miss a second of a Rider game no matter what the score is, period.. no exceptions. If I can't be home or something important has me away, I tape it and watch every second as soon as I can.

We gotta be catching up after the Calgary and Edmonton games! I think the Bombers are leading the league in game busting bad calls by the refs. You guys have had some costly penalties at bad times late in the game. But don't be thinking you guys are stealing our first overall pick, we fired Taman so he couldn't trade it and have Kerry Joseph on speed dial if we need to. In fact we threw the games against you because we knew those points would be big later in the season. Even if we finish in last and SK in 2nd last, you still get the first overall pick. We spent ours in last years supplemental draft. That's a relief, I was worried Kerry would break a hip or something, I kind of like him.

The mere fact he is teetering on being benching at the moment likely suggests that he isn't going to have a lot of teams chasing after his services. Look at the crap we went through with Milo. I think he has proven he can get the job done, but he has also proven that he can't. His next contract should reflect that. A fair deal that reflects bonuses for field goal percentages etc.. to provide him a opportunity for a raise if he plays well and protects the bombers for overpaying if he sucks again next year.

He stays. No question about it in my mind, hell he will even come cheaper now. He is kicking himself into a very Bomber Friendly contract these days. I agree that he should be kept around.

Walker is brutal, the guy has no moves. He just runs and hopes he doesn't run into anything. Reminds me of Darren McFadden. Good move to dump this guy.

Losing week after week is getting hard on me also. Even good intentioned bantering back and forth is losing its charm. The Riders are just bad across the board this year. Haven't seen much to get excited about this year.

Geez guys, make up your minds. So basically, you want us to win but still play crappy? That sounds like a plan. And lose two or three starting NI's while you're at it, if you please. We have only won 2 games, haven't we suffered enough without having to lose players also. Not just yet. I'm hoping those flashy new jerseys become the permanent uniform, so they can also look really bad while losing. ruthless.

You guys are far from out of it. I'm actually surprised many have wrote the team off. Look at this way guys, I wish we had something to still be in the hunt for besides the first overall draft selection.

I don't. He's terrible. He is brutal. Trust me boys, you don't want nothing to do with this guy.

This is very true. In Dyce's case he has been here 4 years and I believe his job is safe either way. He may not be HC but will likely be around here in some capacity next year. Dyce is a good football man. O'Day is the one I would worry about more, he likely wants to grab the GM job now while he has the chance. Assuming there is any truth to this at all I would hope upper management has O'Day on a approved trades only type leash.

I have no problem agreeing, we are done like dinner. I'm 100% pulling the trigger on moving Glenn for a young prospect and a decent draft pick. Glenn is a free agent at end of the year anyway, no Guarantee he will re-sign with us anyway.

where did you read that.

What`s O`Shea`s record as head coach when Willy has been healthy. Seems to me he has had a lot of games with a backup at the helm.

Your right but I`ll present exhibit B to my case. The Riders interviewed Milanovich, Chamblin, and O`Shea the same year they hired Marshall as head coach. They went with the experienced guy in true Rider fashion and we threw our 2011 season under the bus. I don`t mind taking a shot at a young coach if he appears to be on the way up as Milanovich clearly was at that time. In fact as I recall, I was mad that we didn`t hire O`Shea.

Same as bringing in rookie players. You do your homework, make a educated guess, and hope the hell it works out.

There's no way Khari isn't looking to get out of BC. He gets demoted to receiver's coach. I'd bring him in to replace MB in the offseason. I'd keep Hall who has improved the D as the year has gone on, he is also only in his first season. I'd likely keep O`Shea depending on how things play out. At least next year with Jones on staff you have a coaching candidate on staff to replace O`Shea if he struggles out the gate. Jones was a gun slinger, who better to work with Willy. Not to derail thread, but as a side note, current Rider mess has much to do with Chamblin chasing away- getting rid of any assistant coaches that could have been a threat to take over. I think the Bombers have had too much change in the coaching staff. I`d be looking to tweak things and stay the course.

So.. Serious question here as this is a Fire O'Shea thread. Does anyone think it will actually happen this year? Heartbreaking loss this week, but like any loss it never comes down to just one play. Its always a collection of events. My take on it is if the Bombers struggle the rest of the way, Mike needs to look at making changes to coaching staff or players on field or both. I don't think he will be fired but I can see him on a very short leash next season.

I like to bring a former player in when possible, and I realize it usually isn't a option. Kahari Jones, just a thought. He is working his way up. Not sure if he is ready.
