Should O'Shea choose to start Lankford on Saturday, O'Shea's credibility will take a giant hit that he may never recover from.

You speak blasphemy.

I'm looking for a good, competitive game, and so far, so good.

Farley was also playing with mood-altering substances like Belushi

This ought to be real simple: A) Do NOT let Calgary get a 10+ point lead- that would be fatal Nichols and the offence has to have ZERO turnovers C) Nichols has to have his best game of the season D) the defence has to keep Calgary's offence to under 30 points and less than 35 minutes of possession E) No huge kick returns And I still believe in the Easter Bunny

I'm not sure that 9&9 is a season that will save the jobs of some Bomber coaches. I sure as heck would not say that is a successful season, particularly when the same problems that have bedeviled the team for years hamstrung the team again.

From Riderville: Caleb Holley has been 6-gamed, and the Riders have signed RB's former defensive back Shaw, From T.0: Argos are wooing Duron Carter in Toronto today, and Als have released promising Canuck OL Landon Rice. FWIW

Really going out on a limb there.

I do not see anyone calling for Nichols to be permanently benched in favour of Streveler, but rather that we want to see that if the game is not going well for Nichols, Streveler will be put in to give the team and fans hope. As a fan, it is very frustrating to see Nichols coming out again and again when clearly he is struggling. Streveler ought to have had a lot more reps and time to adapt to the CFL, so ought to be more effective now. Nichols does not seem to be getting better, and Saturday will tell us a lot.

Did you just have a sargasm?

There were a lot of extreme comments and I guess the mods got tired of refereeing.

But never go full *****.

I almost yelled at the radio (it really wasn't the radio's fault) when I heard that while driving. Either this forum to a man (sorry iHeart) is seriously deluded or senility has struck the Bombers coaching staff. I don't know whether to feel angry, sad or resigned.

The Bombers have to play all four quarters?

Ironically, you have described the type of player that O'Shea was.

Ouch.

For me, it was disturbing that O'Shea's answer to a porous defence under Hall's guidance was to say that he would be spoon-feeding Hall more this year. Why? Hall is not a rookie DC and if he has to be supervised, what does that say about Hall's competence?

Or coach defences?

Despite the Stamps' implosion last game, the Bombers are going to have their hands full with them. I don't know if, given the current state of affairs in Bomberland, a win is likely, but they have to show they can compete. Another blowout loss would make the locals here very unhappy.

Agreed, for the most part, but Nichols has to be better. Whatever ails him may not be his fault, but he is the lightning rod.

That would confuse the snot out of the opposition, though.

5 years of rebuilding, zero playoff wins=futility and year six is in doubt

So six years of futility is not enough to drive major changes but seven is? I do not share your patience (or is it fatalism?).

Agreed, but the larger issue is why O'Shea cannot or will not address what to many is a glaring problem that is hamstringing the team and has for years now.
