Crap. Hope it is not so. We just do not need any more bad news.

The truth is that we really don't know why Brohm isn't as good as he ought to be just as we didn't know about Max Hall's personal issues until it all hit the fan. Maybe Brohm is salvageable and God knows that more teams than us saw something in him worth pursuing. One way or another, I have little doubt that his replacement on the roster has been the subject of more than one discussion in the Bomber sanctum santorum.

If I were the Bombers and Marve can execute it, I would be tempted to go no-huddle for at least the first few plays to unsettle the TO defence. Argos will be expecting Marve to run and will have their linebackers up tight to the line, so the 5-8 yards slants, crossing patterns and hooks ought to be open a lot. Their safety will probably be brought up for coverage in that area, so if Veltung can break one up and out and Marve can hit him, we should get a few good gains.

If we had an even average offence, we would have beaten both Calgary and Hamilton in hte last go-around. Hall is doing the best he can with what he has.

Sad to say, unless Marve is as good as we hope, we may be out of the playoff picture by mid-September, and if our offence still sucks at that point, we may as well tie the can to Bellefeuille. I suspect the end will come a little sooner for Chamblin.

Agreed. Brohm has had enough chances to prove he is a keeper and has shown nothing. He is just taking up space and if we cannot find someone better, that would be a sad state of affairs. Canning Brohm and possibly Stoudemire would send a message to the rest of the team that they need to perform or else.

The plays will be called based on the visions he has after each line he snorts Worse yet, the sight of all those lines on the field would really distract him.

You don't think Walters brings in an NFL cut? The odds are overwhelming that any QB we bring in will either not be able to adapt or will be unable to pick up the game quickly enough to be an asset this season.

As much as I would love to see Khari back here, I believe he was offered an OC job before and declined, preferring to wait for a HC gig. On the other hand, if he was an assistant coach, he could well inherit the head coach job if O'Shea doesn't survive.

(Moan). Is it legal for Neufeld to both practice and play in bubblewrap? Or maybe ride a Segway during sprints and drills?

Reality sucks sometimes but it doesn't go away.

Apparently Turner and Peach will be available for Friday, but I am hoping we will field the same D-line as we did against BC. Turner and Peach are just not good enough.

The older I get, the better I was.

Yes, we are so desperate that this is not inconceivable. "Inconceivable" can also apply to a woman who cannot get pregnant...or is that "inscrutable"?

Don Matthews didn't win any Mr. Congeniality prizes, either, just Grey Cups. And he was the winningest coach we've had since Dave (God bless him) Ritchie.

As long as you own your statements as personal opinions, keep off political sniping and refrain from speaking as an ultimate authority, you'll be all right. And having the skin of a rhino helps.

He looks like the same shape as when he played. as for being in game shape, thats a bit of a stretch... Danny's game shape was pretty much oval.

Danny Barrett was a decent coach and a pretty good QB in his day, but he treated media and fans like they were invading Nazis.

Ah, he's a putz.

The Cavalry is not coming, so grit your teeth and hang on folks. Who we got is who we will have for the rest of the season, for better or ill. There is a very real likelihood that Willy is looking at next year before he throws another football in anger, so if Marve aint it, we are stuck with hoping that Dom Davis has brought something to the party.

And gosh darn it, people dont like us! Just slap them around....and make them like it... The beatings will continue until morale improves

Well if Marve gets us a hit, Davis another hit and we keep going this could work. The problem with your scenario is that we would need nine more quarterbacks to finish the season plus more for the playoffs.

Impacts have a cumulative effect if there is not the time to heal between them. If somebody gets hit/jumped on often enough by someone else 80 pounds heavier, something bad is going to happen. Its like Russian Roulette- sooner or later the hammer is going to come down on the loaded chamber. Willy got hit 5 times in the first half and it was only a matter of time. If this or something like this didn't happen last game it would probably have happened soon after.

To keep things in perspective- Richie Hall's defence is performing well, especially considering the liabilities (Hurl, Leggett, Bucknor) he is saddled with, so that leaves the offensive offense and special teams. There may be an argument about how well we can do in Willy's absence but there is no possible excuse for the special-teams cock-ups we have seen this year.
