People are idiots, especially fans. Too impatient, too ready to fire people. We have seen how being quick to fire people can turn out with this team many many times. It doesn't look pretty. I'm fine with giving the head coach who has brought this team back to respectability more time with some less lame coordinators. I've already said if he doesn't opt to make a change at OC he will lose my backing (I exclude Hall because we have seen some growth from Hall we haven't seen from Lapo)

Yes but some people have more patience than you do.

I wouldn't worry about that. He's won too many games for me to think that's a realistic possibility at this juncture.

So make the change away from a proven loser at OC and see how O'Shea does. O'Shea had issues early on getting the coordinators worth a damn to be interested in Winnipeg because of the teams history of firing coaches quickly, and then when Lapo was hired there was all the talk about getting someone with head coaching experience to help a relatively fresh faced head coach... so let's let him try one more time. O'Shea is a damned good head coach and Lapo we know all about his issues (which are manifesting themselves again with this offense) so let's have one more shot to get it right at that position.

you don't need to fire guys with an expiring contract so he'd be right to scoff at that.

If O'Shea wants to go to Toronto then do whatever it takes to bring Khari home.

Oh so a Lions fan then.

I was theorising the other day that is this current slump not just a little bit similar to the one we went through with Nichols last season? Lots of punts and turnovers and just can't get any traction? Almost exactly the same time of year as well.

The guy ran 3 plays as a Rider before he got his brains scrambled again, how long do we expect him to last in a Lapolice offense? Our qbs take some shots in that scheme.

And his team has more wins than any non Calgary team the last while. Thinking oshea has poor results is a grass is greener thing.

please let it be me....

Don't worry, we got a perfectly good Lapolice here to take over

Streveler being so young and raw also needs those reps to develop...

as for OC next year, I want someone who has actually been a quarterback. Preferably in this league. Too many years without one of those guys.

because you don't make changes at the first sign of a problem, you give people a chance to correct the problem. But with Lapo we've seen the same problems creep in now so it's time to recognize that the guy is beyond turning it around. I mean hell Ritchie Hall has done more to change and grow than Lapo has.

reported by rider fans

The only way I turn on O'Shea is if he doesn't make a chance at OC in the offseason. Lapo is the single biggest thing holding this team back at this point. Yes I know a lot of people are on Streveler, but come on guys, he's had lots of drops and a bullshit offensive game plan like Lapo always does. The man got fired when he had Khari Jones, Milt Stegall, Charles Roberts and Mike Sellers to build an offense around for gods sake. What is our game plan now? Hope that Harris and Streveler can break multiple tackles and make multiple people miss on any given play? It's not a good plan. The guy has always been awful for this team. The Riders and Ticats the week before knew exactly what plays were coming.

Complete waste of time to watch. Never should allow the Bloc to participate because all they do is sidetrack the debate into a petty regional (ie. Quebec) pissing match. I don't want to vote for any of those assholes. All but Scheer basically made promises to **** Alberta right up the ass without even the courtesy of a reach around, but man the Conservative platform of "Don't you hate Trudeau?" is the most uninspiring thing ever when you can tell that their whole plan is the same as Ford and Kenney just ******* **** up worse so that a few people can get just a tiny bit richer.

Both defenses look like garbage so far

If he'd been sacked it would have been 2nd and long and Lapo probably would have called a draw play for minor yards and they'd have tried the field goal. The way the offense was going up until that point they weren't going to come back. Hamilton had taken care of the run game and when that happens Lapo has no answers. I also believe that Hamilton showed they were able to move the ball and score when they needed to so I would not have trusted the defense to hold either. That game was won and lost in the first half, the 2nd half was just playing out the string. For Hamilton it was not unlike many of the games the Bombers have played this year. Blow the doors off in the first half and coast home for the win.

German dude the Bombers got has taken some reps on defense and even looked half assed decent.

I don't want to see the stupid chain the Bombers had either but for different reasons entirely.

just watching the highlights from the banjobowl, the way fajardo floats the deep balls a guy with some speed and ability to read the ball in the air like Alexander should have a chance to take the ball away if the Riders try and go deep.

you just have to spend every free moment of your day reading threads here like the rest of us.
