Stupid Flanders!(had to say it)

Didn't look good.

Something out of nothing by McDuff

Ya Anderson really does look good.

Thanks for the reports everyone . They're much appreciated.

Does anyone know who else is seriously looking for a kicker?

Merry Christmas everyone.May you live as long as you want to and want to as long as you live.

I think Lapo was the best choice at this particular time.Some have posted that he was the "safe" choice as if that was a bad thing.I think he was the safe choice and that is a good thing. There is alot of anger and even worse, apathy about the Bombers.I really think they they absolutely can't blow this year off or the franchise could struggle. Lapo at worst will be competent and may be quite good.Most of the other candidates carry a greater risk and yes perhaps the chance to be spectacular. I've run alot of businesses over the years and I always found there was a time to roll the dice and a time to play safe.

I think in this instance the Bombers can't afford another "swing and a miss".If they have another bad year Icould see attendance falling off dramatically. Sometimes safe and uninspired is better.Lapo is at worst a competent OC.

I wish they had punted MB midseason so we(I) would have a better idea how much was bad coaching and how much was lack of talent.Right now this seems like a deep dark hole we are in.

I agee with this.My question is, who would be the possble candidates for OC be? Who's available now and who might spring loose?

Basically its all speculation including the original story. There are a host of possibilities many of which have been mentioned and many we haven't thought of.I think (speculation again) Wade is VERY worried about the effects of this season on ticket sales.Apathy is settling in concerning the Bombers in Manitoba and personally I think thats worse than anger.If Wade steps on toes either in league or in house to try and correct things, so be it.If he wants an assistant coach who can take over from MOS if we struggle in the 1st 8 games so be it.MB shouldhave been sshipped out when we still had a legitimate shot at correcting the ship.Time to push, and maybe he is pushing.

The Bombers are about to turn it around?Cool!

This D has been improving every week.They simply dominated tonight . I'm impressed to see what a competent backup could accomplish with limited reps.Good job by Walters to go out and get solution to a problem.

So Bhrom has only skipped 1 off the turf, and hasn't been horrendous. Does that qualify as a success?

Once the call was made and it could have gone either way, there wasn't enough on the replay to overturn.

Why does no one think it is possible Veltung is hurt? It doesn't exactly streach the possibilities of belief.

Arm strength is one thing but he isn't even able to be accurate on mid and even short throws.I claim no expertise in football but when Milt, Troy, Matt D ect... are saying he just doesn't have it I believe them.

Great thread guys!

It was so bad, it was absolutely awesome!

68 is slowly sinking into obscurity. I always feel it is one long ad interspersed with bits of info.While I'd be suprised if this rumor was true I'd enjoy the switch.

Wasn't that an awful review!

Yup, no tail tucking from my point of view.Just a real hard fought game, with give and take on both sides.In the end we did what we had to do. Yes gave up big plays but got down right stingy when we had to. All in all a good win.

Between that and their schedule the Argos could be heading for a rough start.

Thanks to all who are reporting. It is much appreciated.
