The D is not 'folding' they are getting scorched in second half's because the opposition is making adjustments (when they aren't taking stupid undisciplined penalties). These are deeper rooted problems than just running out of gas.

Promoting MB to HC would be the absolute stupidest thing this club could do. His record is far better than anything we've had in years, if that's stupid, then your logic is flawed nanu nanu.

Still better than 19 - 45 and no playoffs going on 4 years, that's why. That's all you need to know.

You want logic Still better than 19 - 45 and no playoffs going on 4 years, that's why. But feel free to explain why he is a good thing?

That's BS, all he did was take his teams to the playoffs in consecutive years, same a Berry but he got the axe too. This organization and it's fans are too stunned to know a good thing when it's staring them straight in the face. 27 and 35, 0 and 3 in the playoffs. Never better than 9-9 and that is with being in the East where Winnipeg had the Mike Kelly debacle of 09 and the Lapo bunch that couldn't close games in 2010, plus lousy teams in Toronto. Still better than 19 - 45 and no playoffs going on 4 years, that's why. But feel free to explain why he is a good thing?

The punt was ****, line drive with no hang time, LH is very inconsistent, I wouldn't blame the gunners for half the TD returns against us.

Don't care really but promoting MB to coach would be the end of a lot of fans. That's the worst thing they can do. Fire MB and promote Howell. However until we have a decent QB... it won't matter.You were wrong before and you are wrong now, about time you started listening to us old farts when we tell you something. Sorry but that's the worst thing they could do by far. MB becomes coach and I personally know about 15 people who will be officially done with this team. You can't keep O'Shea, he is a dead man walking, lame duck HC!!!! What don't you get? Firing his OC isn't going to make a lick of difference.

I want him out of the offense too and this would do it but you'd still be left with a lame duck in O'Shea, he's a dead walking in case you hadn't noticed.

Then suffer with O'Shea and the status quo and quit complaining. He's the only qualified candidate available right now and is 10 times the HC O'Shea will ever be.

It really is a horrible team but I think coaching is equally to blame and it starts with O'Shea.

O'Shea is the problem, all three phases of the team take turns sucking. You need an experienced coach to instill discipline and execution. They should fire O'Shea and promote Marcel to Interim HC and Buck and Howell as co-OC's. Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

I think the only way to salvage the season is to pull the trigger before the Banjo Bowl now. Promote Marcel Bellefeuille to Interim HC and Buck and Howell as co OC's. O'Shea just isn't ruthless enough to be a HC.

gary lawless ‏@garylawless · 10m10 minutes ago job of head coach is to decide on his lineup. O'Shea might be right about Nichols not knowing the playbook. but if poor QB causes a loss ... Gary's already setting the table, if the riders sweep, I wouldn't be surprised to see the press calling for O'Sheas head.

Controlling the rider dline will be a must. http://cfl.uploads.mrx.ca/ssk/pdf/depth/2015/2015_Depth_Chart___Game_10_Riders_vs._Winnipeg092635.pdf

I guess we'll see once Nichols gets a start in this offense.

It's one game, that we traditionally lose, 10 straight now I believe and sometimes in horrific fashion. If it was the Banjo Bowl I think most fans would expect a Bomber win.

O'Shea blamed the defence for giving up too many points in the second half.

Water boy or mascot would be fine with me.

Certainly not this lineup, 8 NI starters again woo hoo. http://cfl.uploads.mrx.ca/wpg/pdf/depth/2015/Depth_at_Saskatchewan_Sept_6091822.jpg

There's a guy on the practice roster named Ivan Brown but according to his stats, he was T George back in 2009. http://www.bluebombers.com/roster/show/id/3411

Keeping the spread under 20?

I'm actually starting to lean towards that too. I went with Davis, if he was a Murphy find then he probably has something they liked. Brohm has next to no mobility either and he isn't a strong enough passer to threaten a pick up game in the park.

Nobody will run on us with Hurl in the middle, book it.
