You can bet Austin will be out there waving a big cheque for Henocs services...They look like Cup contender/winners while we drift in obscurity...I know Muamba loved the Peg and the fans here BUT like most professionals you go where the dough is...I think we are competitive in the likable destination ,so we definitely have to up the ante and make it too expensive for Austin and the cats...This will be a big blow here IF we don't ink him, and just make this league look more lopsided than ever, with all of the talent congregating on one team..Such is the way in professional sports...Guess we'll know shortly how this is all going to go down...Losing Labatte was one thing losing out on Henoc would be another high pic down the drain...Things just keep getting better and better..

Speaking of Wild...where the heck is he?....Does someone have an update on his whereabouts...Seems to have fallen off the map..

Their balls ARE deflated...much like our egos...I'm predicting a win as well and that will prolong Bellefools employment...only to take us into another tilt of futility...and the clown show continues.

All Mountain and Cam Jefferson seems really relevant...Nice size at 6'6 and 305....but is he quick in his feet...Glad to see we're still bringing in people...The quest for a decent o line continues..

When does Marcel get axed........YESTERDAY.

It's sad how this franchise has been run,,,run into the ground...A lot of disenchanted fans out there and when the word 'rebuild' is mentioned their eyes gloss over....NOT AGAIN....Right now it looks like we don't have the right people in place AGAIN to be successful...O'Shea says a three year plan...well we're on year 2 and I don't see a shred of improvement...At this rate Ottawa is on track to win a Cup before us and the riders will have rebuilt and have another one in the cupboard...Disgraceful is a word I'll use and if anyone suggests I'm all doom and gloom., look at the bloody state of the club...Fans seem to have a better grip on what to do with this team..Certainly have spotted incompetence and when nothing is done, it appears management has left us to twist in the wind..Something HAS to change soon or the bad days when this team was in financial trouble will return..A return to just a 'winning franchise' that at least makes post season, never mind a Cup ,would be great... It'll have to start by purging ourselves of incompetence and deadwood and hiring the right people...and yes that word 'rebuild' is front and centre again. Frustrating to say the least for this old fan.

It's plain the head coach is way over his head...The assistants are bogus...Etcheverry, now Bellefool, Tracey and Wiley have not impressed either...These hires have to have a giant question mark beside them, one that denotes incompetence...The head coach will hang on till another losing season is in the books, but somebody has to go now ,to appease the fan base at least...Going to be plenty of empty seats at IGF till management straightens out another colossal mess...I have been unhappy with the performance of this club before...now I'm just down right livid...Everyone should be under review from Walters on down AND the proper actions taken. Signed 'totally pissed off'

Talking about receivers...does one of the best, Mr. Denmark or Mr. Kohlert even play for us anymore....What a joke that is to not even try to throw one in their direction...Another small example of how this team is not being run properly.

Keep O'Shea and he'll take Walters with him ...just like Marcel is going to take Mike down...it will happen..Clean house and look at upper management at the end of the season.

How can you get lower than a snakes belly?.....what I witnessed today, I believe it's possible..

O'Shea needs to go and he can take Brohm, that useless offensive co-ordinator and not so special teams coach with him

What an embarrassment and a bloody disgrace...How the hell the management and coach thought they put together a football team is beyond me...There better be some firings after this one and if there isn't....paper bag time and the pitch forks will be out...Poorly coached....bad player acquisition and this team is headed for the basement and another futile year...pure bull#hit

Why the hell would we want to bring back the napkin boy....He was just fired in saskabush for incompetency and someone wants to bring him back here???LOL.. Do some fans have a deathwish concerning this club...A giant NO to Taman.

Our simplistic offensive playbook should have been easily picked up by Nichols...He should have been ready in a few hours ,after perusing the three lines in Marcels offensive game plan...I say go with Nichols..

I would seriously consider Buck over Brohm at this point....IF Gale has been released in T.O. give him a call...Anything and anyone at the moment looks better than the gopher killer..

How many reps. can Nichols get in before the weekend...IF Brohm is starting we are in a deficit before we hit the field...Guess we can always hope that our D can win one for us against a poor rider offence as I don't have any faith in 'hoppy' behind centre...Could be a disaster...As for the trade to get Nichols....wasn't super happy but at least he has some credibility in the league...AND for a CONDITIONAL seventh...esks. were in a generous mood..

If we go back to Taman then this club has regressed even further than I thought...I can see it now...a Subway truck loaded with Tamans personal effects and napkins headed this way...We can't ever let that happen..

Have to agree Mike....hard to argue with success..The way things stand now Tilman may get an interview in the off-season...I thought I'd never say that BUT desperation seeks any kind of resolution and it looks like desperation is setting in.

Red flag has gone up from this corner...soon to be followed by the white towel thrown in by the Bombers...Is this the best we can do??How the hell do you sell this signing to the fans... an Ottawa reject..Big fail.

I had a nasty feeling that the riders would wait until they had to play us to make the change...They pulled that crap on us before, putting in old man Miller when they fired their last coach...won both the banjo and labour day tilts...History repeating itself???If we can't sweep that bad team there will be a firing here, I would think, but by then the horse would have left the barn...Season ender for us...On the other hand there's a glimmer of hope...Riders are a very bad team....offensively and defensively...I guess we'll find out who is worse after these 2 games...If I was Mike O I'd be a tad worried...........Note to O'Shea....fire Bellefool NOW and promote Howell so we can go in there with a new coach (sorta) of our own..

IF Wild is coming back north....get on it Walters....It's a no-brainer to get Ian back in the fold...He will improve the d with his attitude and aggressive play...Hate to see him lose out down south BUT I like him in our line-up.

IF we don't sweep that lame bunch then we are in next year country and there will certainly be some serious questions about the coaching and management of this team.....They better have some answers.

Can we possibly find a coach named Bud...???...

Marcel has a designed play for Brohm, where he throws the ball at the receivers hoping for a one-hopper, but usually landing in the hands of the defender..

Yes...all of this after a bye week...What did Mike do...tell them all to go home (except Marve) and forget about football for awhile....looks like it worked...I don't know why this team can't seem to find the right people or make right minded decisions...Seems we're always flying by the seat of our pants ...There has to be some changes soon before the stands at IGF looks like a moonscape... Inept Marcel Bellefueille should have been gone yesterday along with the qb. he's grooming, Brohm ..We can start preparing for next year because this team, as it stands now, does not have it..Another bloody write off and I'm sure getting sick and tired of that scenario..I think I'm going to have to join do or die in some imbibing after our games now, so I can learn to forget...
