TBH - Bombers still look like a good team

They just aren't the league wrecking super dominant force that we've started to get used to... something that wasn't likely to last forever.

 

Hall's defense seems to have consistent issues with mobile QBs

yeah its nowhere near panic time or utter collapse...and truthfully...a few minor tweaks...and they can be that wrecking ball again..

[TBURGESS]

The Elf's are good for what ails any team. The sky really is falling if we lose to them.

The question is will we make those tweaks. Tbh I’m not optimistic.

I'm not either sadly....I bet he wont make any until we are under .500 or at risk of missing the playoffs

[rebusrankin]

We should be making a change on the OL for example but MOS likely doesn't. Or Lawson starting and taking more reps than Jake. Using Jeffcoat as a designated national so you can use him, Jefferson and Habba more.

Good for them. Have to find ways to market their team. We do the same.

I don’t think anyone is saying Osh needs to become a hard ass prick, in fact everyone sings the praises of the culture he’s created.  I think we want to see him make a few more of the tough decisions to pull players that are underperforming.  His loyalty, well admirable, may sometimes keep him from making the right moves.

We are at the 1/3 mark.....4-2 and thats with issues abound....most easily fixed...well really all easily fixed if addressed and not allowed to continue....this is all on Osh now to do the right thing....and pull out his inner Mathews/Murphy/Bouno

Its a 2 horse race in the West as to who is hosting a home playoff game...either WF and WSF....Not sold on the Lions at all, and also not sold on peoples worry on our demise....lots of season to sort it out, and we have seen this song and dance before early into a season

But for all the love heaped on Osh, he does need to change his ways a bit, and things will be fine...season success is all at the feet of our coaching staff and management...Lets see now if this Mafia is all that and gets it done, and not just trying to ride the season based on what worked and how they did things from 2019-2021....you don't evolve and adapt....you fall by the wayside....this is where we need to adapt and evolve in a few instances, and not worrying about hurting feelings, or feeling like you are not being loyal to this player or that player...you need to be loyal to the team and put the parts in place to make it work, and if that means taking certain guys out of the starting lineup, or even parting ways to allow the new hungry blood to make their mark....then so be it...pro sports is a cruel game, and like the saying goes...most times nice guys finish last...we are at that point now....not the finishing last part...but are a boxer on wobbly legs about to get knocked out and lose the title...We already went down in the 2022 Grey Cup for an 8 count.....if things don't change soon....we about to get knocked the eff out

Osh is very stubborn. I don't see him changing.

They won their Grey Cup this year.

[Goalie]

Are we 4 2 or 4 1 1 

Do we have 8 points or 9? Lol

Focus is the problem with the Bombers right now..not talent. If Zac doesn't throw a pick 6 and Shoen doesn't drop a sure thing TD..we are 5-1. However, the boys aren't capitalizing on chances or playing mistake free like they normally would. That's focus not talent.

I disagree.

The talent in the center of that oline is the problem... the fact that the ALLCAPS defensive line was in his face all night, sacking him, and those hits after Zach tossed the ball all add up... that's why Zach was off his game. So in a way, you're right,  Zach's focus was elsewhere.

And they haven’t been the only team to do that to him this year.

and easily rectified...especially if Osh plays a bit of strict parent and grounds a kid or two for a game...or two....you would see a bit more ooomph in their play..

If it was easily rectified, then the question becomes- why haven't they? The Oline issues have been there since the Grey Cup loss.
