  1. I believe there is ample evidence that Collaros is past his "best before date" and succession planning should be well underway if it is not. Given O'Shea's predilection for hanging onto fading players, I have doubts that this has happened. There is good reason to believe that a) Collaros is no longer good enough to take the team to the Grey Cup game, and may not even finish the season. and b) If (and that is a big if) Streveler is given the coaching and playbook to let him shine plus Terry Wilson, that ought to give us a competitive team but might not be enough to take us all the way again, but at least the team will be moving in the right direction, not hoping to squeeze another year out of aging players.
  2. The off-season and draft are not done, but yeah.
  3. I have been a Bomber fan for some 50 years and cannot recall a more "meh" off-season. Yes, its not over yet and some of the previous optimism was sadly misplaced, but still.....meh. Logan is the only reason for optimism so far.
  4. The author of this piece was obviously under the influence of world class mood-altering substances when this was penned.
  5. Greg Peach was the later Jake Thomas where every year we would ask why he was still around. Unamba was horrible from day one.
  6. I prefer cedar posts and f sharp tones
  7. To put some icing on this cake, in the Freep today, Walters was quoted as saying that he thi8nks the team is deeper than they were last year, but is unsure if they are better. Faint praise, indeed.
  8. Makes me wonder how he was able to pack on those 80 pounds and then drop them.
  9. Well, if its in the Winnipeg Sun.................................... I'm sure you were referencing the CATS role of Rum Tum Tugger. Right? Right?
  10. Agreed- that beatdown was not the Bombers overwhelming the Riders, it was the Riders soiling the sheets.
  11. Lawler is not the highest-pain non-QB in the league. Ceresna got an identical amount, for one.
  12. Wouldn't bet on that- Wallace was awesome in his few times on the field, and if he is reasonably smart, he can pick up the system and calls quickly. What is worrisome is that Collaros' performance trend has been downward for the past three seasons. Yes, there are other factors such as a sub-par O-line, injured receivers and crappy offensive play-calling, but the trend is there.
  13. These sorts are absent now and sorely missed. I listened to British post-soccer game comments when the home team lost- little short of of vicious.
  14. A bit on the light side for a defensive lineman, so he better be quick. But treatable.
  15. If O'Shea does the same crap with Streveler as before, I could see him asking for a trade or else.
  16. Did the Lions also get a shock?
  17. The product of growing up in a chaotic home is that the person believes: : I am not good enough The world is a dangerous place It will never get any better than this.
  18. I have had occasion to work with those who have had horrific abuse and neglect. It comes down to whether the individual chooses to live as a victim or chooses to make peace with his/her past and move on.
  19. He was an adult and no longer in the circumstances that produced his dysphoria, so he was responsible for his behaviours.
  20. And what of Terry Wilson who seems to have been the forgotten man. And probably 80% of Bomber fans were asking WTF as well.
  21. Well, Hubert looked good in very limited action but suddenly found himself riding the bench for the rest of the season. Cole was good and versatile. We could throw in Kolankowski and Alexander, too.
  22. Lawler was a goner no matter what, but losing Hubert and Cole stings.
