You are forgetting one thing in your reasoning. Saskatchewan sucks.

Except that Mack was hired to be the GM and he had a president of the team above him while Miller is simply the president of the team. If you want to compare someone to Mack the guy right now is Walters. Yeah there might have been a few alternate titles thrown around with Mack but let's be serious here, Mack was the GM, Miller is the president and Walters is the GM, completely not comparable positions.

Hey if you're going to look like absolute crap the best time to do it is at the beginning of the season because then there is lots of time to work in fixing it. Better than looking terrible at the end of the season.

Try reading it a third time and maybe this time you will understand what he says cause I think you've missed the point entirely based on this paragraph here.

I already cracked a beer cause I was pretty sober last week so I can't make that mistake again.

Duron Carter is always talking ****. It's just what he does.

come on everyone, it's a new week, be positive, we can totally win this one then we all be like:

but if we don't feed the trolls who would we argue with?

Do you know what your problem is? It's the dialogue part. You aren't interested in having one. If you were you would read what people wrote and respond to that, instead you are creating talking points and sticking to them even if no one else is saying that. The thing about message boards is that someone is always going to call you out on your opinion. Always. So you better be prepared to defend you position. What you want though is for peopel to just agree with you that everything is horrible and we must have blood!

yeah the Hamilton D gives our offense fits traditionally. Hopefully the D comes out pissed off and angry about last week and generates some good things for the team because they'll need it.

My question though is, what is Edmonton actually going to be like this season? A big part of the struggles vs. Edmonton recently was how many issues this team has hand handling blitzes and no one blitzes as much as Chris Jones does. Are they still going to be the same team without him around?

Move *****! Noeller can probably confirm but I am pretty sure our buddy made that video, of course then most of his stuff got taken down because apparently the bots can't tell the difference between NFL and CFL.

You didn't need to watch it again to know that Dickenson stole Ritchie Halls lunch money though.

It seems like the biggest problem has been miscommunications at bad times. Considering how much turnover there has been perhaps that's not to be unexpected. I mean we got 3/4 of the DL is new, 3/5 of the secondary is new (I know posey was here for a bit last year but I am still calling him new) and one guy coming back from missing the year to injury as well. Linebackers were all here before but you got guys playing new positions. So inconsistencies with the communicating probably should be expected. Same deal on offense, new offensive coordinator, bunch of new receivers, new RB, some changes on the offensive line, but not a lot. Plus Willy is really gunshy and teams won't stop coming after him until the team shows that it can make them pay for doing it so it's an uphill battle there. Still though, after 2 weeks I am more concerned about the defense than the offense. Offense is supposed to start out slowly when there are a bunch of changes.

That's because I felt that Mike Kelly was actively setting the team back with his actions. I never felt that Mack or Walters are doing that even if the losses are there. Both are trying to add to the team and depth rather than moving it in hopes of eeking out an extra meaningless in the long run win. These guys may not be the long term solutions here, but they are improving the depth so I have some patience for them. Still lacking some star power in my mind but considering how the depth had been so poor I got time for em.

What's funny too is I get blasted for being a blind homer for simply saying stuff like Willy was bad in game 1 but he'll get better and then after game 2 saying he wasn't as bad as the masses are saying despite what the score was in the game. In any other place that would be considered optimism but having some truth to it. To many here though? WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD! HEAD IN THE SAND! Some people just want blood and they want to rant and rave and have everyone grab pitchforks and torches alongside them. That's not how most people work though. You can talk about negative things, you can also talk about positive things, the point is to actually have a dialogue. Too often this place devolves into people just trying to scapegoat people and there are a lot of people who just get tired of it. I am a sucker though, I like to argue with people so I'll argue just about anything.

Hell most of what the so called "head in the sand" people are doing is simply disagreeing with the doom and gloomers that the sky is falling trying to provide an alternate view point. There really are very few rah rah Bombers blind homers here. Have you seen Spuds lately? I got no problems with people saying negative things, just don't go all in on the darkness, be reasonable and logical... but most people don't do that. They're pissed off and by god anyone who isn't as pissed off as them is a monster.

completely false, you are spinning it to mean that when it was simply a statement that bad things = more traffic. Totally neutral statement only meant to point out the trend of this message board. You do love your leaps of logic though.

And all I was doing was pointing out the fallacy in thinking that people post more in good times. There are always more threads and more posts when things are going poorly. Nothing more, nothing less. But yet again you have done a lot of mental gymnastics to read something into a post that isn't there. I am willing to talk about anything to do with the Bombers positive or negative, but what I don't like is all the constant hyperbole that gets tossed around after losses.

and yet the biggest game day threads are the ones where the team is losing. People like bitching more than they like talking about the good things.

Is that why he's still stuck on the one Grey Cup win? Which happened to be indoors to boot. Guy is **** outside in the late fall.

That's why you're so angry all the time. The process matters and a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

He still isn't. God help him if play off games are outside and not inside.

Yeah the special teams are actually playing well for this team. That is the #1 reason I am not ready to rollover on O'Shea yet. He clearly knows how to get his special teamers ready to play, the rest of the team has other issues.
