CFL - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread

To the surprise of absolutely no one. A good guy and decent QB but brittle. -
Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Tracker replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
We would probably still be dealing with crap, just a different kind of crap. I seem to recall American GMs and Head Coaches who detested and barely tolerated any and all Canadian players, benching them whenever they could. I doubt that the current dilemma has anything to do with passports, just a phenomena called "displacement". O'Shea aged out of playing in the CFL I would bet that was a major component of his identity, and the loss of that caused him a lot of anguish, particularly if he did not foresee/accept the inevitability of retirement. So now he probably sees the same processes at work in players whose careers are winding down and whom he likes and it evokes a lot of unfinished business for him as he identifies with them. If he cannot come to terms with this, he needs to go as the business end of the sport is implacable. -

Well, we really need comic relief at this point, so this is welcome news. -

Hard to tell from a distance but O'Shea may be so emotionally invested in keeping "his" underperforming players that it may come down to having to fire him before needed and obvious changes can be made. If Whitehead is brought in, it will destroy my confidence in Walters despite all the good work he has done. Whitehead had speed, but was brittle with mediocre hands. We now have a good kick returner and he may also be a good RB and/or receiver. To my view, he is just another aging veteran with his best years behind him, and we have more than enough of those. -
From 3Downnation: Zach will be back Though he didn’t return after halftime, it appears franchise quarterback Zach Collaros will be just fine. Mike O’Shea told 680 CJOB the decision to sit the veteran quarterback was “precautionary” while commending Streveler’s ability to run the offence.

3 stars turds and maybe a glimmer of hope

You pays your money and you takes your chances. Much of life and sports is a gamble. -
They sure as spit look bad, but maybe we should withhold judgement until we have a decent D-line who become familiar enough with each other to gel as a unit.

fajardo has silenced a lot of his critics, and many of them were in the forum. What detracts from his performances is his whining, particularly when he is sacked.

If we go 0 and 5 next weekend, we be out of the earned playoff spot and the laughingstock of the league. Because 6 out of 9 teams will make the playoffs, we will probably stumble into the playoffs, but get out butts kicked. So many here saw this coming, so why did our management not?
-
And deservedly so. None of the games were lost by accident- we were just not good enough, but at least we have a glimmer of hope at the QB position. Why do I feel like O'Shea will put an end to that and start Collaros come Hell or high water?
-
Streveler gave us the best quarterbacking so fa this year.
-
Looks like he is missing about 5 cervical vertabrae.
-
Does Kolankowski actually have a neck?
-
More lipstick. NICE PASS!
-
I've seen some miraculous comebacks in the CFL. Not today, though.
-
It's pure speculation that he would have done any better with this lot on offence.
-
We haven't been in this game at all, save a brief flurry of competence in the 2nd quarter.
-
Nope.
-
Why are you hating on Wilson- he's not even plating today. Is he?
-
Bombers' body language says they know the game is over.
-
If only there was a good receiver living nearby....
-
That FG could be the lipstick on the pig.
-
This may be an overreaction, but this drive or game may determine Streveler's future.
-
And its not the first time, either.
-
Aaaand, there we go.
