If true, it may just mean that there's better job security under O'Shea if he likes you, even if you suck.

And Tedford survives to fight another day.

Another odd happening at the Bomber camp.

But you would probably be alone.

As was posited, the game against Hamlton was a fluke due to players fearing for their jobs and playing over their heads. If the landslide continues, will Popp fire or demote himself? It would be only fair.

If he doesn't, he'll be selling cell phone covers at St Vital Centre kiosk on Monday. Brohm is playing for his career at the LDC. Brohm's career is already decided. He would have to almost walk on water to be here much longer, or have every other QB in the fold comatose.

I agree 100% about Tedford. Would have loved to see him here. Tedford has had success in coaching everywhere he has been and sure seems to be a student of the game. Should he be sacked and the rest of the season not improve significantly here, i ould be Ok seeing him here. He reminds me a lot of Trestman, and Higgins.

And Beck is not setting the field on fire but so far he's managing the game well by keeping things simple with few mistakes. A good recipe for the Bombers on Sunday?

If any single thing will doom O'Shea, it might just be his identifying with the players too much. Once you step up out of the ranks, a line is crossed and you have to make s decision where your duties and loyalties lie.

And we have an average QB now in Matt Nichols. I'm pretty excited for the second half of the season now, especially with the D and special teams starting to come around and look strong. I'm concerned it's not enough. We need that lineman that Edmonton got. Damnit! There is a CFL regulation that a team can have only one Simmons on its roster at a time.

Apparently the earlier report was in error.

The problem with keeping O'Shea as a head coach is that he was responsible for hiring lousy assistant coaches and had to be at least partially responsible for thinking that Brohm,and Marve were good enough to step in if Willy went down. How can we trust that his judgement is going to miraculously improve?

Apparently the Riders are flirting with re-hiring Eric Tillman as the next GM. Multiple reports of spontaneous combustion coming in from all over the province.

As much as you seem to think otherwise MOS is going nowhere. Learn to accept that I can't disagree with you on that. When nothing changes, nothing changes. I've finally learned to set the bar for my expectations very low in the past few years.

Is this the end of Marve as a Bomber? I would bet on it. Ineffective, slow learner and brittle.

If BC loses and the Bombers get beaten by the Riders twice in the next two weeks, we could have a baker's hat trick of canned coaches this year- might be some kind of record..

Brohm is done. I bet he craps the bed in Regina - and NIchols comes in and wins the game (or gets us close to a win and then wins in the Banjo Bowl). At that point - Brohm will be gone - and will never be seen in pro football again. Good riddance. OF course, a much more likely scenario is Brohm stinks, Nichols goes in, and gets pulverized by Chick, his bad leg is wrecked again and he's out for the year, and we're back stuck with Brohm. That's a very real possibility. Go wash your mind out with soap.

Marve. Leg injury. Who'da thunk? It might explain why Marve's throws were so errant- hard to throw when you can't plant your feet

I think the fear is being the riders first victory... No one wants to be that team. You nailed it.

Oooh. My nipples are hard.... That is WAYYYY too much information. Sorry to overstimulate you with the visuals.

Tedford has the profile you would expect to see in a good coach- a decent but not great player who had a good career due more to using his head as opposed to being gifted, then moving up through coaching to the pro level. Oh, well, hard to win without a competitive quarterback.

So you're saying we still have a chance.....

Kinda hard to mock the Rider faithful when our team is just a thin bit better.

The only way Brohm is going to be in the NFL is as a paying spectator, but like it or not, there is really no alternative to starting him on Sunday (Sigh), so you had better take nausea suppressants well in advance or large quatities of your favourite alcoholic libation. And maybe put up a shatter-proof shield in front of the TV.

Well, the precedents are being set, so O'Shea is going to start hesitating to answer his phone and may well go completely MIA if the Bombers lose the next two. Better to jump before you are pushed, but its darned rare for coaches and GMs to fall on their swords, no matter how crappy they were. After all, they are always on the verge of an incredible turnaround in the club's fortunes.
