do or die

Yet another good idea....that is.2-3 years too late.

As if we needed a final indictment....

Back from the Gulf Islands....to -30. Sigh. But at least it gives me the opportunity to thank everybody for their support, and to wish you all the best for this coming year. Go Blue!

Nothing like burning up the window for developing a young QB, with a new franchise. Idiots...

.....irrelevant.

MOS pretty well summed this up: We need less robbing of Peter to pay Paul. You win with fundamentals, not gimmicks and gimcricks. Once other teams started putting in max protection schemes, far too many guys in the back end, were hung out to dry, in terms of iso and angles on gap cancellation. This move just had to be done. Period.

Do or Die: I hate Malcontents, I hope they never win anything again

The wit is really dry, right now......

Big bonus: Have been approached by several major studios....to play the lead role in the upcoming production of....Stickman the Aftermath.

The CCM people still insist on calling it H and N.....but the source eminated from the neck......

After months of pretty intense treatments......am now facing a pretty long rehab, after being knocked out of the lineup, for the last quarter of this season. But yesterday the game films were reviewed and my med team have given the verdict........ Final score: Do or Die........................1 Head and Neck Cancer...0 However it will be a while before I can raise a Bombay, in salute. Might even change my user name....to Do. Now looking forward to subjecting folks to my ole school ways, on this board for a long time to come. Go Blue!!!

We supposedly brought this guy in to provide veteran leadership...... Massive fail.

We certainly have no shortage of flies on walls, round these parts..........

Quick quiz: What area of the Blue Bombers currently holds this team back, the most? - in terms of talent, the effect on our ratio, and the overall state of Canadian team depth. There is a definite answer......and perhaps a guide for us in this upcoming projected deep draft.....

With the way this draft is setting up.....Blue may have an opportunity to load up on OL...

Neither our DC....or for that matter our OC...... has made much of a case for retention. Enough of this mythical power struggle nonsense, and just get on with improving this club with some new coaches...

Good news is that a lot of this is fixable, with about 4 players. A couple of competent OL A MLB (Wild is an allstar if you keep him at OLB A pass rushing DE At the very least..... there is no excuse for Walters to not be able to upgrade imports on OL, and find a better import than Romby at R

We didn't get consistent pressure on the passer, got pushed around by everybody's run game, and were 7th in total yds against. These are not hallmarks of a "good defense", anyway you slice it. So I have a number of reasons not to like Etch as a DC. At least we are agreed on that.....

We didn't get consistent pressure on the QB or stop the run. These are not hallmarks of a "good defense"

Pass: HC Seconday Kick returns Running back (presently) Kicker Quarterback stable Canuck Depth (still work in progress) Fail: Schemes on D Playcalling on O In game adjustments on both ends OL Dumb penalties Too many Turnovers Kick coverage Romby Bryant

Just a few things went wrong, this go-round: We struggled running with Grigsby.....opponents ran the ball up our butt, all year We struggled to sack the QB.............opponents ran up record number totals on us We had too many turnovers..............didn't get enough takeaways We missed far more many tackles....than opponents Plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the ball.....to say nothing about schemes/playcalling

We gave up 214 yds rushing, last night on a field not meant for passing....even with Cornish going out early. We only won this one, because the Stamps confused the football, with a Ebola container......

Willy has had a bad throwing hand since game 4 against Edmonton (2nd helmet hit on hand) - before that he was arching long sideline and corner route passes perfectly - after that..... the "touch" on those seemed to completely disappear...... Combine that with him taking a few hundred hits, behind one of the worst pass blocking OL's EVER, the anemic run game, and the lack of adjustments from Marcel.......while finishing his first year, riding the learning curve as a starter.....and you have a formula for some bigtime struggles, for sure. But this guy has guts, is smart, and coach able. We will see a big uptick next year. So some folks might want to restrain themselves, from tossing him into a can, or under the bus..... btw..... none of this is a knock on Marve, who has demonstrated a good deal of potential as a change of pace guy, and a possible starting QB. Just would like to see a bigger sample size than a Troy Copp,before anointing him. This caution is simply based on the 100 or so QB's we have run in here....and out, shortly after...

Say this about Wild....you put this guy as OLB in a proper, stable D scheme......and you have one of the better ones in the league....

Frankly, you build consistent winners with sound schemes and players who can properly execute them - not with shell games, juggling acts, voodoo, hocus-pocus, and constant gimmickry Which is why, moving forward - I want Etch out of here, so we can actually recruit guys who will fit in.
