You don't think they already understand that losing has consequences? Poor performance always costs people jobs now and more importantly in the future. They all know that. Also, those former HCs were both fired for being terrible head coaches, how is that going to make things better?

Hardly, we've been a pretty terrible team the last 10 years, seems to tell me that I'm 100% correct about it being a bad idea to fire people midseason right? If players need a coach being fired to perform well then that's even more of a reason not to fire the coach because you can't fire the coach every time a player needs a kick in the ass. How about we get some players that don't need that kind of motivation in the first place? There is nothing wrong with this team that a better GM can't fix and if you are firing MOS midseason you're basically committing to Walters for more time as well. If we're going to make changes then let's blow the whole ******* thing up in the offseason not try and do a half assed patch job that turns into a long term problem AGAIN.

Bass actually played pretty good against Edmonton so I think he's coming along.

It's clearly confidence. As in he's taken so many hits he doesn't trust his offensive line to give him time so even when he does have time he rushes his throw. So you either throw the guy on the scrap heap (like many want to do) and see him go somewhere else that isn't lacking skill at other positions and rebound then it's "well why did they get rid of him?" or you do what you can to rehab that fragile confidence.

but you're not going to sell hope by firing a coach. Is anyone going to go to more games just because they fire the coach? It's wins and losses and how good a team looks in games that sell tickets. None of that is going to change simply by firing a coach. I've been banging this drum for more than 10 years but firing a coach midseason only wastes 2 seasons. The current one and the next one.

Do you really honestly think that a midseason firing would get more out of this team? Would be the same coordinators (minuss special teams coordinator of course) It's the same players, what's really going to change? You might see the dead cat bounce but then the GM can just pat himself on the back and go "see I knew my players were fine, I just had the wrong coach, problem solved, here you go Lapo, be the head coach of this team again" How does that help us next season? If the season is going to be a write off already why not just wait until the appropriate time to fire people? Would be the first time in a long time they actually did that.

That's because all the stamps had to do was hand the ball off and the Bombers would whiff on tackles and let them move the chains. The D was on it's heels the whole game so it makes it easier on the offensive line.

Everyone picked Williams last week and completely jinxed him and nearly ****** up my fantaseh team in the process so for the love of god will you all please stop putting the jinx on him this week? As for my pick, betting against the Bombers and going with Messam. Still shell shocked watching them fail to tackle him in Calgary.

team is still going to lose games with a different coach which is the real reason fans lose interest. The #1 reason I don't want to see a midseason firing is I don't want them to have the easy way out of just sticking with whichever interim guy they hire. Hall and Lapo are both too passive for my liking as head coaches.

It's almost like Walters was the top NI scout when Mack was here.... imagine that.

Khari was probably booed in 04 as well. People were running him out of town back then too.

Forget the dbs, can we not give up 200 yards of rushing this game?

why fire him? It won't save the season so let him run out his contract and determine in the offseason if you want to move in a new direction or not. Some people though just so blood thirsty they want to see heads roll because it'll make them feel better about themselves.

No, no one is getting fired on this team for a long time yet no matter how hard you pray for it so might as well just stop worrying about it until it actually happens.

Which statistics though? How much spread is there between the middle of the pack and the bottom of the pack? If we use statistics the offense isn't THAT bad either..... Just saying.

He has had a rough go of it this season entirely. Interior of the OL is getting it handed to them regularly.

I agree that there should have been a safety, He was caught behind the goal line without a doubt, but still even before the Watson review the D had plenty of chances to get a stop before and didn't. They are making progress but it's still not great.

The D isn't totally blameless. Yes they have been pretty good but they did give up that touchdown march right before half last week that let the esks back into the game before half. They can definitely be better.

when George RR Martin finishes his next book.

Hey all I'm saying is coach and GM are different things. Mike Kelly had a decent record as a coach as well but as a GM he ran himself out of the league.

Go back to 2008 people are saying the same things about Glenn they are saying about Willy and now people here would take Glenn in a heart beat. When will people stop and realize that it's never ALL on the qb when an offense performs this poorly.

Adams can go up and make a play... or he can be a total ***** and get boxed out like a chump. I still don't like the overall mix of our receivers but I do finally like some of the recruits Walters has brought in. Davis has been good this year and I've liked the little we've seen of Mayo too.

I am just saying that yeah Smith was near 1000 yards last year... but Denmark has been over 1000 yards in the CFL. I'm not implying that he's a poor receiver, just that I haven't seen the superstar some touted him as and we may have added Smith but we also dropped two guys who have gone over 1000 yards in the CFL in the past this offseason as well. It's a lot of changes for questionable if any improvements. Were it me I probably would have just signed Dressler to be the veteran experience and not bothered paying Smith.

Except that Kyle Walter as a GM still has a better winning percentage than Chris Jones as a GM..... Just saying.

It's the mentality that they don't need to get the call right on the field, if it was missed replay will see it. Refs have become so lazy and afraid to make a call they use replay as a huge crutch and it negatively impacts the entertainment value of the games.
