I don't hate Streveler but I have read your post who for a season & a half on this board & you were one of the most annoying cheerleaders I have ever seen. Big Chris this. Big Chris that. Afraid he'll go to the NFL. Matt Nichols sucks. When the Bombers lost it was always Nichols fault. When they won it was a team effort. No credit to Nichol from you ever. Now Big Chris is under the microscope & we are finding out about his shortcomings & that he's not ready & you don't like it. It is what it is. I have said that while Streveler is struggling, LaPo isn't helping him. I think he isn't getting the coaching he needs to develop. So, it's not all his fault. He needs help & he isn't getting it. I'm a Bomber fan. Why would I want him to fail? Especially now that he's all we've got. lack of good coaching is a huge issue offensively with this team. I want one more Grey Cup win at least in my lifetime. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever see it.

The threat of Streveler running the ball has been taken away. When he throws he has no touch on his deep balls. Defenses aren't afraid of us stretching the field. Accuracy is a real issue on all of his routes short, medium or long. They just load up the LOS & take away the run. LaPo doesn't roll Streveler out making him a threat to take off with the ball. Instead he makes him stand in the pocket trying to read defenses & throwing blanks.

There are no easy throws in this offense. Maybe if Ricky Ray or Mike Reilly were throwing them but not with our qb. Even a 12 yard completion is a huge uphill battle.

Game is in Winnipeg on Saturday

Adams & Stanbeck are no slouches running the ball. Stanbeck is a powerful runner suited for a frozen field. In bad weather they're even with us as I see no advantage. Hell, they're even in good weather.

Right now we are doomed with Streveler as a starter. Defenses have taken away his running ability & left himto beat them with his arm which he can't do. Not all his fault as LaPo is his OC but Streveler has shortcomings throwing the ball. At 24, he may never overcome his deficiencies with his fundamentals. But... that is on him to correct them if he can. There are well known & successful private qb coaches out there that cater to upper echelon NCAA as well as CFL & NFL qbs that could help him. He has to want to do that & be motivated to change things. It's not easy tearing things down & starting over to break bad habits. Long process but it can be done.

My limit is $30-32,000 if I was looking. Just paid off my car in 2018 so I am enjoying some debt relief. Besides, I'm sliding into retirement the next 5 years so I doubt that I'll ever get another car loan.

Big Chris showed us a whole lot of nothing. He isn't starter material & may never be. We may lose out the rest of the season with him in there. But the Bombers are to blame for that. The guy can only do so much when we have a useless OC calling the plays.

Great. Now prices have to come down. I can't afford a Tesla.

To me, it looks like Buck & LaPo did a poor job of coaching Streveler up How a guy can sit through nearly two seasons of video sessions, offensive meetings, practices & starting 9 games & look this lost is incredible. He's not getting better. Arbuckle is a FA. We should go after him in free agency but I'm not so sure with our head coach.

Who they gonna get? Who they gonna get? Who they gonna get? What is this, The Twilight Zone?

Good analogy.

Chris Streveler is lucky he lives in Winnipeg.

How many times does that question have to be asked? It's lame. Let Walters figure it out. That's his job. Not ours. You would prefer 9 years of mediocrity under O'Shea (with a new 3 year deal) with subpar Coordinators who can't adapt or are too stubborn to change or unable to adapt? I mean, look at our first DC.. Gary fricking Etcheverry. Our first OC? Marcel Bellefeuille. We replaced Etcheverry with Hall & Bellefeuille with LaPo. Hardly what I'd call improvements & so it goes under O'Shea. Things don't change until change is actually made. What has O'Shea accomplished as a HC to deserve to be around for 9 seasons?

I just want to make one thing clear. I think Mike O'Shea is a winner & he knows what it takes to win. However, knowing how to win as a player & knowing how to win as a Head Coach are two different things. Player just play. They prepare for their opponent & then go out & do it. Some win championships & some don't. Head Coaches are on the sidelines. They make decisions that affect the outcomes of games. A great player may be a rotten HC while a marginal player or someone who never played pro ball could turn out to be a great HC. You just never know how things turn out. I may be calling for O'Shea to be canned at season's end if we don't win but I have no doubt he is a winner as he proved that as a player. Not as a Head Coach.

Well, you asked. Believe me, I wasn't going off. If I wanted to then you'd have known. So, why be upset with the answer? You're the third person I've seen here who has asked who are we going to get? You said you know of no one else other than Khari Jones & he's doing a bang up job with the Als…. but you're not sold on him. Which makes no sense. What HC is doing a better job right now other than Craig Dickenson? Why would you make such a statement when you admit you have no clue who could be available? It's reasonable to assume based on MOS track record that if he is given a new 3 year contract that he'll bring back one or both of the coordinators who aren't getting the job done. Why would he change? In 6 years he's shown to be stubborn, slow to adapt & loyal to a fault. So, if Walters gives him another 3 years then the risk will be that the same things that happened before & is happening now & will continue to happen. Then it's 9 years of not winning a championship. I'm not prepared to wait any longer. If O'Shea wins a championship this season then fine he can be brought back as he would have earned that right. If he doesn't then his contract should not be renewed. As a Head Coach, he doesn't deserve another 3 years. Just for the sake of familiarity.

Let's keep LaPo & Hall too while we're at it I mean, who are they gonna get? Besides, it's all about rewarding your friends even if they don't do the job they are hired to do. And don't say Tommy Condell who will be Head Coach somewhere else because we kept O'Shea.

I saw that & cringed. The dozen Argo fans watching at home would not be happy. Probably half of them won't be at BMO Field next game. Then we hear Corey Chamblin with his mic on say his team is playing icky at 41-0. Wow.

To me, you don't do it. If after 6 years O'Shea loses in the playoffs how can you bring him back? For another 3 years? You know he won't sign for a lesser term. That is playing with fire with the fanbase.

I can't discuss this anymore this evening. It's time to let it go.

If it was as easy as you seem to be making it out to be replacing players we wouldn't be in this drought. It's not that easy.

And yet it's been 29 years.

**** stability.

So, I guess next home game they get 8,000 instead of 9,000 at BMO.

Damned lucky he got hurt???
