By the time O'Shea latches onto this theory Lirim will have corrected the flaw and it won't be pursued. When they hired O'Shea the thing I thought he had going for him was that he was creative and daring from his work on ST's in TO. In his time with Wpg. I have seen little evidence of those traits.

Odds of success are probably less than 50% I would think. Why do you think that? No stats just a WAG.

Odds of success are probably less than 50% I would think. On TSN they said the 2 point conversion was running around I believe 77 percent. Teams are hesitant to go for two but I think once we start seeing more success with the two point conversion and 1 point converts missed. (hello Winnipeg) we'll start to see a shift in mind set when it comes to going for two. Surprised no team has gone for the idea of trying for the 2 every time.

Did Marve lose his short-yardage job?
Fatty Liver replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
What Collaros accomplished in his first season as Ray's replacement contradicts everything you just said. If Marve is dumb as a rock and unable to learn, he may not have the upside many see but I don't think that's the case. Pigeon-holing him into Willy and Brohms playing style is ignoring the obvious, he is more in the mold of Collaros or even Lulay. I understand completely why Marcel is happy to build his O around Willy, it literally provides him with career security in the long-term. Whether he can read a D or not Marve has already proven that he can accomplish twice as much as Brohm in half the playing time. Time will tell if his skills materialize into a career or fade away to nothing as you suggest. -
amazing. Ball looked like it almost got dropped on another return of his. fell out after he hit the ground. I won't be sad if he gets benched. True, he was down but the ball still came loose.

Fatty Liver replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I think the writing is on the wall for Marve, he doesn't fit into Marcel's system and is never going to unseat Willy. Unless he's happy being a backup like Tate there is not much upside for a young QB with ambition on this team. I don't think his NFL ambitions are realistic but I do expect to see him go to F.A. in the off-season to try to latch on with a CFL team that is willing to make better use of his skill set. -

Suggestions for us old timers... and thoughts on long term

What's up with that? I noticed him doing that last year. He probably became addicted to smelling salts in his playing days and now needs them to get out of bed in the morning. -
Please emphasize "closest" sideline!

I truly hope not, I was hoping he had ascended to #2 on the depth chart. That would be a good question for the Coach's Show. -

Which brings up another point, why was Brohm on short yardage tonight? I didn't even catch sight of Marve on the sidelines.

You are underestimating the Esks. Given Stampeders injuries, I can see Edmonton finishing first in the West and even with Nichols as QB, Winnipeg will have their hands full. In fact, I'll be surprised if Winnipeg betters the Esks, which makes the blown opportunity against Calgary even more regrettable. I don't think so, both of their victories have come over the RB's and with Nichols at the controls bad things are going to happen. If Willy plays consistently and the offence can put a decent number of points on the board I think they will top them. I'm certainly not expecting to see a continuation of the mistakes that they made tonight. I'm expecting a game of redemption. I agree. Reality is we eliminate our own mistakes and we owned the stamps tonight. Not sure why some argue it but 16 of Calgarys 26 points came off mistakes. One on a blocked punt. One on a Stoudemire fumble. We win easily and Calgary looks awful without our mistakes. The problem is that we are not limiting our mistakes so we aren't winning, let alone easily. You are underestimating the Esks.

In the Bombers two victories they've made very few mistakes, so it is possible.

It's too early to say the D. has made a leap but every time I watch Sask. play I have seen a mirror image of Ritchie Halls D. Glad Hall has made the necessary adjustments that Chamblin has been unable to figure out yet.
-
I think for the most part the talent is in place and they're coming together as a team. This was by far the best results the D. has shown this year, despite the displeasure people have with Hurl. Looking forward to next weeks game with EE and expect the Bombers to win comfortably.

Sorry Bud, at 34 you're not even getting in the door of the "old guys club". You'll have to add another couple of decades of watching below average football to qualify. -

Brohm on short yardage, what gives? -

Well yah, but you must know established Canadian RB's are a dime a dozen. I believe the ludicrous justification around here was that Messam didn't play S.T. and at the time the Bombers were being well served by Carl Volny. I don't believe Messam has the character that O'Shea requires or the budget that Walters requires. He seems to be all about Jerome (stats, money, playing time). Plus. he's not an every down back.

Got to love that old timey family entertainment, second only to public executions. This would be a great idea for a half time show.
