Losing Interest for this season?
The weirdest thing is seeing high scoring shootouts in the NFL and low scoring sleepers up here...

Lawless: Bombers need to sign Ben Heenan
How do you know how it unfolded, are you related to him or something...?

Mike O'Shea's leadership
I think a lot of this stems from Burke throwing guys under the bus publicly for much of last season... A buddy of mine was watching pre-season practice and said OShea was really informal with the guys, working like he was part of the group... he worried it might come back to bite him. Seems like it has, too bad I thought it was a good approach. You can tell that Kuale is locker room poison - would take JJ or Hef over him any day. And this new salute or whatever the D is doing really reminds me of 'swaggerville'... and we don't really want swaggerville back. Rooke HC, Rookie GM, Rookie QB... its caught up to us. Bummer.

Odds and Sods - Winnipeg Expansion Team vs Ottawa RedBlacks
Yeah but thats ignoring the wind and the fact that after the game O'shea said that in warmups lirims range in to the wind was at the 40, we were at the 40 roughly, wouldn't have been a 40 yarder, would have been a 45-48 yarder really, not sure that field goal is made, to be honest, not sure it even makes it to the endzone, I don't like the idea of saying yeah but a fg, well, what if they go for the fg, miss and ottawa runs it back for a td, that's just as likely in that situation. And regardless, the D still needs to make a stop, make some tackles, something they couldn't do last night. That play in the big picture was irrelevant, lose by 22, not 7 or less That play was huge. Kuale had already shifted the momentum with his RTP penalty, this sealed the deal. Maher kicked a 70 yard single into that same wind... Another pointless gamble like the short kick last game... just a rookie mistake but still it stings.

That gamble was a terrible call - field goal gets us within one, a rouge gets us within field goal

Tackling Defined
Playing Pall and Richardson together seems inexcusable... looked like we were fielding four Cdns on D even though we didn't have to Oshea and Etch are guilty of over-estimating our current talent

Rough Game
That did not just happen.

Rough Game
How does `Bryant always end up being our clutch receiver... bizarre. Not as bizarre as calling the gamble though.

Rough Game
Nice call by MB and Grigsby forgets how to catch
-
Rough Game
Leggett goes for the strip instead of the tackle and then loses his man on the next play

Rough Game
Wow, Kuale totally shifts momentum... to the RedBlacks...

Rough Game
Watching the replay... First half was okay Longsnapping still horrible - who would have thought Defence starting to showboat Second Half Kuale is an idiot January looks like he's playing hurt Devin Tyler sacks Willy Bellefuile cannot keep up with DC yet again Williams TD run... who thought it was a good idea to have Richardson and Pall on the field at the same time 5 minutes left in 1st half and everything is still okay

Odds and Sods - Winnipeg Expansion Team vs Ottawa RedBlacks
Just watching the replay... First quarter not that bad... D starting to showboat though Longsnapping still horrible

Lawless: Bombers need to sign Ben Heenan
Taman worships OL... Heenan is not going anywhere

Lawless: Bombers need to sign Ben Heenan
Did Lawless just take his Mike Richards article and substitute Heenan's name...

Time for some tough love on....

Depth Chart October 3, 2014
Ottawa's depth chart up.... Wallace Miles has seemed like one of their few bright spots... so they put him at boundary. Dobson Collins versus Randle. No way we should lose this one.
-
Tweaking Our Current Receivers
30 years old with injury history... nailed it. Get something for him while we can. JFG arguably performed better in games this year anyway.

Bo Adebayo pickup by Esks?
And he wasn't even born in Winnipeg. Mind blown.
-
Kenny Ploen likely to return this season
Taman's already offered us a first round pick and a lifetime supply of Fantuz Flakes for him.

Bo Adebayo pickup by Esks?
Situation is that we needed a DL... Pall was cut by Montreal and has barely played, Adebayo was on PR and has CFL experience Both were available. Except you can't simply claim a player off of a practice roster, that player has to agree to sign with the team attempting to claim him. Adebayo is from Edmonton, and he's played even less than Pall. He hasn't played less than Pall... Edmonton wasn't looking for DL depth when we were - Adebayo would not have said 'no thanks, waiting for someone to get injured in Edmonton...' Well, get your resume ready. Walters should be fired soon. Make sure you mention the Bo Adebayo fiasco and how you would have handled it differently in your interview. No, I just said you were wrong. And you were. Walters is doing fine for a rookie GM.

Time for some tough love on....
It was close. If its Ricky Ray, he gets the benefit of the doubt on timecount, just like LOS calls... Willy and Crompton types don't. Just the way it is and way it always has been.

Wouldn't it be nice if...
- Today's practice updates
That's hard to say considering he's never played in Dunn's position, but it might be interesting to have him audition there sometime. SAM is a more difficult position in my opinion... I'm sure others will disagree Regardless, I think both Sears and Sherman have better closing speed and hit harder than Dunn. - Today's practice updates
