He can only get better by playing & not sitting. Making mistakes is how he'll learn & develop.

Well, ONE person who keeps droning on about the same thing. No one else is.

And you actually think Streveler will deliver us a Grey Cup? Do you come from an alternate universe? You should go back there as the Cleveland Browns have just won their 4th straight Super Bowl.

So, in today's world is that funny or shaming? Especially the guy's laugh. I don't find it particularly funny knowing that Bob's health is at serious risk.

That was Dennis Green of the Cardinals spazzing out after a loss to the Bears. Mora's rant is the GOAT.

They're going into Calgary & then back to back to back vs Riders. This is no walk in the park or just by saying we'll be fine. The issues brought up here by some pretty knowledgeable fans are valid as far as I'm concerned. They're worth discussing. There are a lot of pluses on this team but there are negatives. Hopefully, these positives outweigh the negatives. I haven't given up on this team yet.

Hall was fired as Eskimos head coach & run out of Saskatchewan twice as a coordinator. Yes, we should be "criticizing a man of his credentials" if he can't get the job done as DC. Have the Bombers become a damned country club where loyalty is rewarded over winning? Where deserving players can't get on the field because the coaches like other guys better or have their favourites so an air of politics pervade? Have (management & coaches) become complacent with just being a playoff team over a legit GC contender or winner? Are they willing to make tough choices & make changes when they have to? Has this team lost its will or it's belief that it can still win? Despite what our HC says about his belief that they can absolutely win games down 23 points with just 3 minutes left in last week's game? Is it all talk? I'm beginning to wonder.

We cut Kenny Stafford as well who was mostly a PR player when he was here. He played a bit but didn't get a huge chance. I think you have to give guys opportunities to keep everybody on their toes. If a player has a bad game then he should be worried about someone taking his place not content with saying he'll do better next time.. Lankford hasn't shown much as a receiver or returner so how will it hurt the offense if someone else slots in at his position? It certainly would be a motivating factor knowing he could be replaced. This is why people criticize O'Shea with his stubbornness & we see it every game as well as his refusal to own up to his mistakes. It's going to be his ultimate downfall & maybe that's what should happen as he refuses to change.

I usually like your takes on the Bombers & agree but I'm on the fence on this one. I hope you're wrong. If you're not then it's MIke O'Shea's job on the line. He'll be gone.

Darian Durant's theme song:

New qb comes to the Bombers. Never played with any of the receivers. What's he do because he has no chemistry with anyone. Not throw the ball? Chemistry is okay but it's not that big of a deal. Chemistry develops the longer a qb practices & plays with his receivers. By now, Nichols knows what Wolitarsky can do.

Well, I'm not going to summarize it any further as it's crystal clear to me in response to what you said.

History shouldn't matter. Did Nichols have a history with Darvin Adams before?

Whether you like it or not, the voters of Winnipeg have been included in this decision & whatever their decision is, you have to accept. It is what it is. What about 40 years ago? City councillors closed the intersection without a plebiscite. Had there been one, it never would have closed. We wouldn't be having this conversation today. Two or 3 generations of Winnipeggers have lived with the intersection being closed & now it's a question of whether opening or closing P & M will affect their lives & if they want it opened or not. And no, not every issue will be added to the ballot & you know that as there have been plebiscites before. Just make sure you vote.

The Stamps playing without Shane Bergman really gave a boost to the Riders interior DL. They manhandled the Stamps OL. Off the edge & up the middle.

LOL. Whatever you say.

I said "You're pathetic". I deleted it. You asked.

I don't hold with your optimism about Hall. If O'Shea wouldn't fire him last season then he won't this season. I also don't like the way our Canadian receivers are treated on this team. Lankford, an International plays while Petermann, a Canadian sits. Wolitarsky plays & he never gets thrown to. He's shown if given a chance that he too can make plays. He can't when he is ignored. A great game for him now is 2 catches for 25 yards. He is of no consequence at all.

Petermann is an excellent choice to replace Dressler. Imagine if O'Shea was Joe Poplawski's HC back in 1978, he'd never have seen the field & been CFLROTY, a CFL western Conference All Star & All Canadian. He may never have developed into a HOF receiver. O'Shea's misguided trust in Lankford while stifling Petermann's growth is absolutely mind boggling.

"Oh man I hope it doesn't happen with another team". How many more times are you going to keep saying that? Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.

We don't need a gunslinger. Our qb is fine as he is. The other members of the team have to pick it up. Everybody has to do their jobs. Coaches & players. Nichols included.

Winning more games hasn't equated into playoff wins or GC victories. Then again, neither has Calgary who choked twice. I think 5 seasons is a good body of work to be judged on & it will be 5 complete seasons once 2018 is over. The next 9 games & (hopefully) playoffs will be key.

O'Shea has a stubborn streak a mile wide & I think he's not the kind of guy who can adjust to changes on the fly. I don't think he's a bad coach but I also don't think he's a great head coach either. I've never heard O'Shea ever say once he made a mistake & own up to it . He's too loyal at times with his coaches & his players. Failing to address the liabilities of Ritchie Hall is frustrating. He should've been fired after our playoff loss but it didn't happen. I think we'll keep winning with him during the regular season as that's proven but win a Grey Cup? Not sure he can do it.
