It crosses a pretty big line towards personal, which is absurd for someone writing about sports. Like call a guy out for a fake punt, but labeling the guy "hated," saying he doesn't hold himself accountable for his work and calling him "the smirk?" Really makes you wonder what's wrong in his life.

You think the players aren't giving their all? Is that "effort" that you're talking about. O'Shea was pretty forthright in saying they were lucky and need to be better on the post-game, all the players that were on said the same. They didn't sound very happy. We've had some awful teams that sounded like they won the Super Bowl if they ever won a game, let alone a game like that one. These guys weren't too excited beyond the moment Harris dragged the ball over the plane. I can't say I've seen anything on this team to make me question effort, meaning guys putting everything they have into the game (and we've certainly experienced that). Execution is a different story.

That makes no sense. If a prevent is executed it should take so long for the offense to drive downfield that there'd be less scoring. What you're referring to is poor execution, shitty tackling.

Completely went forward after the bat. Can only do that with a kick and guys onside can recover, a dribble. Should have been dead and penalty applied from spot of fumble. Needed to be challenged.

I'd like to see him return some kicks. Seems like a waste to roster someone just for kickoffs. Could make room for Flanders. Lankford is a decent option if Dressler is out, perhaps pushes Denmark eventually if he keeps it up. Looked pretty good at receiver in preseason too.

Sounded like he was drunk. Pretty crappy way to present himself.

Got KO'd in a bar by a Bomber in the 80s IIRC, Walby stepped in to end it, heard that story a few years ago though.

The media don't represent the fans. That's ridiculous. Even then, the access the Bombers give is incredible. They are all over 1290, who isn't even a local rights holder. Players, coaches including O'Shea, Walters, Miller. Everyday there's several people from the organization giving radio interviews. Wiecek and a few others aren't good journalists. They don't ask questions. The give a narrative and want a yes or no. It's a complete joke. Study the sport, gain some knowledge and ask some intelligent questions. O'Shea has no problem answering those, nor does Maurice or anyone else. The problem is Wiecek, not the coaches. I also think you might need to go back and do some reading or listening to radio chats because O'Shea addressed exactly the issues you used as an example at the start of the week and post-game last week.

That's exactly it. I've never got the sense that O'Shea talks down to anyone. He's actually pretty self-depricating usually in pressers and on the radio. Just because he won't agree to some faulty premise presented by a media person or angry fans doesn't mean he's demeaning them.

Walker made a couple plays but also got repeatedly torched for first downs. Looked like the read for Durant was Loffler and if he was in the middle he went field (Walker) and if he wasn't they'd sit down right at about 8-9 yard depth in the middle where the safety would usually be over top.

It's called objectionable conduct and the refs can call it whenever they need.

Yep...1290itis. Best thing Mike Kelly ever did was stop taking phone calls and let Bob Irving screen the questions. Show was actually listenable.

Just kind of speaks to what is wrong with this city. Even when things are good all people can do is complain. Fine to be critical, insane to basically sit around saying "the house is one degree too cold, I need to set it on fire." 13-5 last 18 games. And how could you claim this team isn't entertaining? If anything it's too damn entertaining. Wiesel should be back at the horse track. He doesn't know enough about real sports to put something forward worth discussing.

Plus Bradbury was yelling at him that the ball was gone so he basically gave the little shove under the scrutiny of the ref, which is quite dumb.

The offense can alleviate that by putting together some drives!

How would it come back to bite? There's no tiebreaker with Montreal. Doesn't matter if you win by 1 or 100. Also don't get the fixation on "icing" the kicker. Medlock took that kick once. Ya he's out on the field when the challenge happens but why wouldn't you challenge for a first down when there was contact to the head and same thing was just called the drive prior?

Goes both ways.

And roughing the passer.

Jeffcoat is a ******* animal. No way they can take him off the roster.

Promising that we can play so bad and win or be within a score like in BC. Need to start playing well though.

Man TSN and the ALS put the W i their column. Glad our guys didn't quit like they did.

Durant is more like Michael Bishop right now. He could come out and throw for 450 yards or he could throw for 200 and 4 INTs.

I hope they are looking for it. That's exactly why you run it. Get their DBs and LBs flat footed and leave open space to complete passes.

Key matchup for me is Nichols vs the zone blitz. He needs to show he can count past four and make quick decisions or it's going to be a long night of hoping for big plays from D and kicks.

They need to find/develop a QB.
