That's true. But at the same time, no one can look at someone, especially someone they don't know at all and make a judgement call like you did in the silly " If he's playing scared then a benching won't help him. He'll be finished. " comment.

Seriously? What orifice did you pull that little nugget of "wisdom" from? You might want to pull out a dictionary and look up the word "overcome".

IF this set back is enough to finish him with us then, c'est la guerre. I'd hope that he'd take this as a wake up call, that it might light a fire and a "ah, hell no" and make him come out with a rather large chip on his shoulder. If not, well, better to know that know and move him down the road.

Cut to the chase Mike, what do you think?

Just a little suggestion for you - using Etchevery as a model for doing things will not end well, on the field or on these forums. There's a reason that he was unemployed before we picked him up off the heap and it's the same reason that CFL teams aren't banging on his door now.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Jensen currently under contract with the RedBlacks

Be advised that a life sized bronze sculpture will cost somewhere between 30-50k (US) minimum. Might just want to go with a commemorative plaque instead.

What's worse than a troll? A troll with a martyr complex. Please don't feed the troll. Just ignore him.

If you're going to do that then for god's sake hire Rod Black for something, anything, to get him off the air.

Why yes, yes it is...

Firing the GM during the mid season is all but pointless. Better to do that during the off season when the pool of potential candidates is greatest. Firing O'Shea now will be ok, but only if it's made very clear that either LaPolice or Hall (assuming they go that way) is an interim HC only and that a search for a new HC will take place at the end of the season. Of course, if Wade Miller gets involved in the hiring process, do not be surprised if the very best candidate in all the CFL just happens to be someone who's already in the building, cause Wade is all about the hunt...

Firing the coach says "We recognize that there's a problem and we're trying to fix it." Not firing O'Shea says, "We're going to be fine, just be patient" which everyone knows, is a lie. We're not going to be fine and the patience of many has been exhausted. Even the team itself is starting to look like they've given up so the Bombers are getting to a point of having to be seen to be doing something, anything, to show that the organization is trying.

That's good, but try riding into your interview on a motorcycle. I know that nothing screams "COMPETENCY" like riding into your interview on a Harley. Nothing but good will come of it.

Well Noeller, I'm travelling to Winnipeg to take my son to the Hamilton game so if you decide to go, let me know. I'll be the guy in the cheap seats wearing a Bomber jersey. Shouldn't be that many of us...

I gotta say that I'm feeling somewhat disillusioned with the situation right now, just like so many of you. Until last night, I was firmly in the "O'Shea should stay until the end of the season." but after watching the game (until half time) and then watching his post game interviews, it's pretty clear to me that he's got zero solutions for this team and there's really no point in keeping him around. If he showed even a tenth of the passion and fire he had as a player, he'd probably be ok, but he just looks lost. Too bad really. I'm still on the fence about Walters but I'll say this - if he allows this to go on much more than the next game, then he's demonstrated to me that he's not got the ability to do whatever needs to be done in order to make this team as good as it can be NOW. Not next week, next month or next year, now, and in my opinion, O'Shea is holding this team back because he's out of ideas. So either Walters needs to put on the big boy pants and do what needs to be done, or he should be shown the door too. But I will say this, I know we suck, but that's the point WE suck. I'll always support this team, wear their colours, take the ridicule of all the green and white folk that surround me because of what that W stands for, or at least, what it used to stand for.

Really? We didn't have our 1st string QB for a good part of last season, and we only had Nichols for eight games. Going to pin the whole year on O'Shea? Think logically for a second. Who's responsible for finding the talent? Here's a hint, it's not O'Shea. So I really don't think Walters could, in good conscience, fire O'Shea at the end of last season. We get that you don't like him, but do we really need a "I hate O'Shea and I want him gone" post in every thread? We get it, you're not going to be inviting him over for a barbecue anytime soon.

Not sure about Rich. It's possible, of course, but when I watch Willy I see a guy that seems to have "lost the spark". He just doesn't seem to play with the fire and confidence he used to have. Maybe he can get that back, but in my experience, that's a fairly rare thing.

That, and the fact that he's still walking around in full Bomber gear (with pads) helping rookies figure out where to put their recyclables. Don't see Kenny Ploen or Bud doing that.

Why are you posting a picture of Miss Saskatchewan?

I'm pretty sure I've used all those words in various posts over the years. I'd appreciate if you'd give me full credit.

I agree completely that it really didn't seem like something someone around here would take the time to put together. Would absolutely not surprise me to see someone around here take someone's blog and post it here without crediting...

Perfect example of the "if we win, it's just because we were lucky" mindset.

Ahem...
