Anyone watching the Lions/Argos game? It's 54-0 Lions.

We need help on the OL. We need better receivers. We need secondary help. We need new coordinators.

And what will the O'Shea supporters say if he brings back his entire coaching staff next year after signing a brand new 3 year deal? Cuz I think that is what will happen.

It's more than a better qb & OC. We aren't just one player away.

Yes, we might hire the next Jeff Reinbold as Head Coach & that's the risk but we might also hire the next Bud Grant. It's up to Kyle Walters to get it right when he does.

I think you're overly optimistic. Would you sign MOS to a 3 year deal with the risk he may never win a championship in nearly a decade & have only 1 playoff win go show for? That's a huge risk. The only reason Walters does that is because they are friends & he is looking after his good buddy, After 9 years if there are no results then everyone will get fired. How do you sell another 3 years to the Bomber base? That will be a tough one.

Head Coach Ray Jauch couldn't get the Bombers into the Grey Cup despite having a great team & 3 second place finishes in a row with 10-6, 11-5 & 11-5 records in 1980, 81 & 82. He left. Within TWO SEASONS we won the 1984 Grey Cup with HC Cal Murphy. You don't sit still after 5 seasons. Something's gotta give.

That would be... bad. I don't think the team would do that.

Will you please, please, please stop with this Trinity stuff like they're some kind of religious deities? O'Shea is just over .500 as a HC & he's won no championships. Only has won 1 playoff game. We're as close to winning a Grey cup as we were in 2016. O'Shea is replaceable. He's had his chance.

All things being equal, it comes down to LaPo's offense & playcalling. Put Nichols in a Tommy Condell offense with those Ti Cat receivers & he easily has a thousand more yards passing. Same with Streveler. He'd actually get some qb coaching & probably would be a lot better. Our qbs are stuck in a slow, ponderous & unimaginative offense with an OC who sucks the life out of every player.

No, that doesn't count because the Streveler supporters said he was better than Nichols so there's no free passes for him. You can't say on one hand Streveler is better & we'll play better with him starting & then when things crash down it's because he has little experience. Can't have it both ways.

An Esks fan has figured our offense out. Imagine what a good DC will do?

There wasn't much concern. But everything is exacerbated when you lose. I think we're 11-4 or 12-3 under Nichols.

Exactly.

Ditto. Nichols ain't coming back this season. This is Big Chris' team now.

I'll agree with you on the coaching. It has been brutal. We never talked much about deficiencies before the Nichols injury. We were definite Grey Cup favourites.

Sorry but from what I've seen I'll take Nichols back in a heartbeat.

We were 7-2. First place & now...?? Yes, it's on LaPo. He neutered a veteran qb.

We would be the worst team with Streveler playing so I have no idea about your logic. You just keep pumping our running qb tires all the way to the WDSF loss.

Funny how the downhill slide started with the Nichols injury. You know, that shitty qb who can't throw? I just remember how giddy some fans here were that he was hurt & gone for the season. No problem, Big Chris will carry us. He's way better. Yeah, right. This season is done.

All of us are like that. We're fans. Some are more knowledgeable as they have played the game at higher levels but in the end we are just fans. You're passionate.

Yeah, players have to adapt to the LaPo offense. He doesn't design an offense around the strengths of the players he has.

But making damaging decisions throwing picks. hanging onto the ball too long. Not able to do his reads. Nope that's not his fault. It's not going to get any better, either.

What's that's say about Streveler? We'd be 4-11 with him as a starter.

Strev has a Teflon suit. Nothing is his fault. Nothing sticks to him. He can do no wrong.
