I forgot about Patterson. He played for Cal Murphy. He's seen a real HOF coach at work.

It doesn't work that way. No one is going to tell O'Shea he has to play or sit certain players. He has to do that himself. He either gets it or he doesn't. So, if he doesn't get it then he has to be fired. However, he does need to know that he doesn't have a job for life & that he better start making hard decisions or else.

My main concern is that being part of the Mike O'Shea coaching tree is that he'd do things exactly the same way as Mike O'Shea. I'd like to see a new direction taken. I worry that one bad year can become five years, then ten years & we're back to winning a Grey Cup every 25 years.

I wouldn't be too impressed as I used to think Pierce would be the heir apparent to Mike O'Shea. Now, I'm having second thoughts thinking that things wouldn't change much under him here. We need a complete change of direction with a new coach. Not someone doing the same things under a different name. I'm of the opinion Jordan Maksymic, the OC in BC would be a great choice for HC. Especially if the Lions win the Grey Cup.

I was laughing in the fourth quarter watching Tre Ford Show running & throwing all over the Ti Cat defense in garbage time. However, just shows you the tools that kid has & how stupid it was for Jarious Jackson to stick with MBT after halftime. I swear, some of these head coaches can't see the forest for the trees even if a tree was one foot in front of them. That's Jarious Jackson. How much of a dumbass does Jackson have to be to stick with MBT after such a dismal season that he's having? I never thought much of him as a qb. I don't think much of him as a Head Coach. The team is 0-7. Give the fans what they want. They haven't had a decent season since 2017. Listen to the fans. Play Ford.

Nah, it seems to annoy just ONE person in particular. At least he keeps telling you that. You're free to say whatever you want as you're not breaking any rules.

As Tracker said, kicking isn't the problem. The OL is. The Receiver position is. Quarterbacking is. The Linebacking is. Defensive Line is. Returning KO's & punts are. Playing 10 Canadian starters are. Not fielding the best roster giving us a chance to win is. Coaching decisions on & off the field are. And you pick on Castillo? Get real. It's not hard to admit. It's just hard to accept your logic.

Just this site? Have you checked social media lately??? Most fans don't post here. It's X & Instagram. They do on Facebook but sites like "Winnipeg Blue Bomber Chatter" try to control the message by banning negative comments. All they end up doing is acting like fan boi's. I used to post there but quit. Don't like the constant criticism of fans opinions forcing them to be cheerleaders. This place is as real as any social media platform. Same things are being said.

From a text 2 years ago saying goodbye & calling the CFL an "unforseen detour" And he had workouts planned a few days after the Western Final. His bags were already packed. Humble? The guy's ego was three hat sizes too big. Besides, I'm not wishing anything bad for the guy. He's pursuing his dream while getting cut down to size. When he comes back maybe he'll actually appreciate playing in the CFL.

Rourke will never play here so if there are Bomber fans thinking he's coming then they should get a grip. Same with Lions fans who think that it's fait a compli that he's going there. Rourke's family is in Burlington. He grew up there. Has friends there. If any team could sign Rourke if he came back, it's the Ti Cats. Outside shot, the Argos if they want to get rid of Kelly.

No kidding. So, he missed twice. **** happens. How many blocks did the OL miss while allowing Collaros to get beat up??? Yet, Osh keeps the band together playing the same tunes every game.

At least Flutie started a few games for the Bears & was a star in the USFL. He also had incredible cred coming out of Boston College. Rourke is just another non descript college qb. Yet, some on social media thinks he deserves special treatment when he doesn't. Former Ti cat OL Peter Dyakowski was incensed he got cut calling him a "Top 15 qb" which is laughable. Rourke couldn't get out of the CFL fast enough in 2022. To him, playing for the Lions was an unforeseen detour. He was above all of us. Playing up here was beneath him. He felt that he was too good for the CFL. He was destined to be an NFL starter. Well?????

Castillo has been money all season except for the chipped balls first game & he was the only kicker forced to kick with them. Yeah, Castillo had a bad game. All kickers do every once in awhile. making him your scapegoat for this loss is ridiculous. The reason for the loss? The same crew that gets rewarded for playing badly keep playing. Nothing changes. Castillo has been one of the bright spots this season.

Take Calgary off your list. The owner would never allow it.

I saw a bit of the Osh interview with with the media last night after the game on TSN. He sure doesn't look or sound like a coach at 2-6 under duress to start finding answers to questions. Or to win. He just seems relaxed & ready for the players "to go back to work". I'm thinking that nothing will change. Osh is comfortable. Not worried at all about things, To him & the Bombers mgmt, the ship is not sinking. It's full speed ahead.

Then one & done after.

We'll be fined up to $100,000 & lose some draft picks. Not worth it. Miller has to get involved. Put the heat on Osh to get going.

The OL is a killer. We won't win with that group playing the way they are. We can't upgrade it now mid season but we need to make in team personnel changes. We need better roster management. I'd expect we sign some free agent OL this winter.

You respect Booch's opinion yet you want him to shut up? Here's what I think about you...

What a putrid loss. I don't mind losing games but the way we gave this away was sickening. Four fumbles. One Pick 6. Our OL sucked again. It always does. The OL isn't good enough yet the same players keep playing. Nothing changes. All we see on the sidelines is "Oh, gosh darn!!" when they make a mistake. I want to see a coach, ANY COACH, ripping a few on the sidelines. I don't want to see them getting patted on the head like it's okay when they screw up. There's no passion from the coaching staff at all. There's no accountability.

Nothing will change even with a blowout loss. Osh will be Osh saying he expects his guys to not lose another game this season. He'll say the team looks great with a smirk.

That takes us right out of the Rourke sweepstakes. Not like we'd be in it, anyway. Or any other promising free agent qbs. That contract may set us back years once Zach is gone.

Forever. That's how Dickenson rolls. I understand that if any free agent qb comes available next off season we can't compete as Zach's last year is guaranteed. Is that true? If so, that's insane.

TSN should sign him.
