White Out

The only upside to missing the playoffs in the CFL, which is as embarrassing as hell, would be that shortly O'Shea would walk the plank as he deserves to

Bad news for the Nichols haters: Streveler looked pretty bad too. Let me just back off a little and say before I continue that Nichols had a terrible game and his 2 pick 6's were clearly the difference. But Streveler tossed a pick, looked deer in headlights, and had one good drive in half a game. He's not the answer. This is definitely a coaching and personnel problem. I don't know who should start against Montreal... but I have a really bad feeling that either option will not drive much in the way of results. Montreal appears to have found confidence and a spark, while our team is drowning. I just don't think you can go back to Streveler against the Als after his total inability to move the offence in the 2nd half. He had 1 good drive and then had the same problems Nichols had: no one was open. The scheme was terrible. Nichols has to try and stop forcing things and I think he remains our best chance to win... but has to cool his jets. He's clearly fighting it hard and trying too hard. If we lose against Montreal all bets are off for missing the playoffs.

Nice to see the poll results so far. I must not be taking crazy pills. You know what really pissed me off? The lack of push back from these ******* rider players and fans. The Jeffcoat zig zag. The Riders going up to the fans after their TD. They came into our house and pissed on our rug. And the team let it happen. MOS's team let it ******* happen.

Coaching/football iq. I don't know him personally. He sucks as a hc.

MOS just said he didnt know who would start next week just now on the radio. Leadership.

Straight forward. This guy is low IQ and prob the worst coach in the league. Discuss.

Why cant it be both?

they aren't turning over the ball and making stops like SSK. it happens.

If MOS isn't starting Streveller in the 2nd half can everyone finally agree with me he should be fired?

Don't lose. In fact, kick the Riders in the god damn teeth.

I cant be a hypocrite here. I was calling for Willy's head and the lack of patience here is understandable. Only a championship will solve it. Even then people like me won't just magically forget the last 28 years... So there's that. I just hope we can have a solid game tomorrow. Being swept in ldc bb series is the last thing we need for our mental health.

The dumbest thing we can do is to hand the keys over to a 1st year raw kid like Streveler. Even if Nichols keeps playing average/poorly, you at best split their play time. Use Streveler as a change of pace unless he totally outplays Nichols, then leave him in. Let's not ruin another QB with our **** receivers and OC.

I don't know who you're trying to convince here, me or yourself. The idea you think it's derogatory to Bomber fans is puzzling. The fans love it. Sponsors love it. The league and TSN love it for the eyeballs. The more you protest the more we can plainly see its getting under your skin and you hate your backwards province being the butt of the joke. I hope you didn't faint and fall off your tractor while reading this btw.

This is the 15th Banjo Bowl, it's building its own history and tradition. It's going nowhere. The fact that the rider fans cry about it makes it all the better. Me and some friends are travelling to Winnipeg next year for the bb. One is a rider fan, the other a stamps fan who wants to take it in. Deal with it rider fans.

Year 5 of Michael O'Shea and here we are with rider math and hoping to wind up in a crossover. Disappointing but totally unpredictable considering his credentials or lack thereof

Jesus, I don't know what Nichols did to you to hate him so much but yeah, he led our team to 2 straight double digit win seasons where our offence was consistently the highest scoring O in the league for those 2 seasons. He's having a bad season and maybe he will decline and this will be it for him. But we don't know that yet.

wtf do you expect, seriously? We've lost 13 of the last 14 labour day games. Haven't won a championship in nearly 30 years. Haven't won a playoff game since.. what, 2011? In a 9 team league. Give your head a shake before you start wagging your finger at fans who don't like mediocrity. If you want to eat a **** sandwich from our smiling idiot head coach then go ahead and don't forget to mouthwash after.

I guess the difference to me is that Willy never accomplished anything; he had a terrible record. Are you really willing to flush Nichols down the toilet after 2 great seasons because he's had 6 or 7 poor games? I agree to get Streveler involved but we can't just declare this to be the end of Nichols.

Right, but you said its my thing and what I always do. So... yeah. There's that.

Well.. we've had an atrocious defense for 5 years now so...it's a good place to start

I have no idea what you're talking about. I've probably posted 3 times before this game at least that I'd be ok with a change at QB and Nichols has had a poor season. I've also been very critical of this team almost all year. I wonder what you're reading to be honest.

I have no issue with it. I've stated it numerous times and even before this game. I would be totally fine to see what Streveler has. Matt has had a poor season. But I'm also focused on our idiot head coach, our terrible D and terrible D coordinator, and our inconsistent play calling that Lapo has to own. Not to mention our D which collapses by routine every week in the 2nd half, and has been doing so for 5 years (just in case you drink enough KoolAid served by a couple posters who think its an offence problem due to output)

Ah yes, the last resort of the blow hard. "I know more than you". btw this D hasn't been good enough for what, 5 years now? Yep. This is difficult problem hey? Real vexing. The difference between us right now is I'm willing to see what Streveler will do, and you keep harping on Nichols like he's our only problem.

Well, I'm going to BBQ some potatoes and try and put this loss behind me. In a sad way I sort of expect to be disappointed by this crap club. The last time I was able to enjoy a Grey Cup I was 10. I'll be 40 in a couple years. ****. When you write it out like that it's really something else. We are cursed. Oh this thread? Yeah. MOS is a bad coach, no kidding. I'm willing to guarantee if we make the playoffs we're out 1 and done. 5 years of not a single playoff win and you'll surely find idiots defending this guy.

So what? Receiver got his hands on it and volleyed it to the D
