do or die

Somewhere between copious.....and epic amounts, I suppose......

We need to get out of the gate....and accomplish something. Which is like saying, that the Titanic needed to avoid that iceberg........

What was this all about again? Trained intervention operators need to be on standby......

With the stuff we have on the wings, no particular reason to rush this kid. It's all about physical maturity......the nicely rounded skill set on O, is already there. He can build up a head of steam with the Moose, then race down the track with the Jets. ....but if he is lights out at training camp, and can take a spot from the get-go (and it would have to be top 9 at worst), then more power to him.....

Pivotal, alright.....coming back home 0-3 to face a physical Edmonton team, that we have struggled against.....in front of a even further disgruntled base, is to be avoided......

Blue, Gold and Gin......forever.

Well, if we end up with another year of ineptitude.....will be interesting to hear the rationalizations for keeping the current regime on........

Some consolation......might of passed over some pretty good football guys, but other than Kelly or perhaps Mack......at least we cornered the market on nice guys and real fine human beings.... With MOS's coaching approach and his comments.......the trouble with always converting yourself into an air raid shelter, to protect players.....is that you end up taking the blasts....and eventually the fall.....

..bent eared...

Wasn't referring to the opposition.....

It will be Bomberphobia, if this stuff keeps up......

I scared them off.....

I don't agree with some of the thoughts posted in this thread, but people have the perfect right to express them. Not every thing is black and white.....it is always a matter of degrees, as far as what is considered an appropriate level of criticism.....or complaining....or at what specific point one becomes the other. No shortage of opinions on that. Lets just play fair. .....of course, a win or two could really help both the atmosphere and the discourse, round here. Sorry about the "lecture"......

If you report what happened accurately......in some quarters, this could be regarded as bitching...

If posting is down.....would speculate that the continual losing might have something to do with it. Posting about a winning football team is a hell of a lot more fun....

....and my reply was not directed at you personally.....just at the idea that we should simply pick up our toys and go home, when things are bad. cheers.

Who's having a tantrum? We all have different coping mechanisms. Part of being a fan (particularly life-long) is being engaged with the team in some manner. For most of us, it is the ole Interweb. For myself, I try to inject at least a modicum of wit, or irony, even while being critical. Odds and Sods, even in it's current repetitive state (same ole stuff) is a diversion, and has become in a funny way, a sort of "duty" I have been, and will always pay the freight, to support the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Not one of those BS types who spend time on the boards, but not support the team at the games. If anyone else wants ...."send messages" to the club, or disfigure themselves with paper bags, or whatever....fine. But what I don't need....is anyone.....to instruct me on how to respond to the state of the Bombers, bad or good......ever.

Nah, as real good fans, we should simply pay our money, and suffer in silence......

Well, O'Shea's job as HC is to have the entire team ready to play. Since MOS got here....the constant narrative has been..... that players "want to come and play for him" Great. They can start anytime, now...

.....6 more than we have...

This will be interesting...Hamilton won't have ZC, but they are a pretty physical team....the kind, we have struggled with. Bombers will have to crank it up to match. At times, we still look pretty soft, all round... If they do that.....winnable game.

Never mind the other team....why don't we just make some plays?.....a lot more of them, in fact.

Front 7 isn't working either.....

If I had a rocket launcher......

Bombers also wanted to save some money (Glenn bonus)
