Game 38 : Mall of America
They better wake up….losing two in a row at home and to clubs they should beat...at least Min....Maybe a trade is needed to shake things up...Don't like what I'm seeing...Maybe xmas is too much for some of these guys

Merry Christmas!
This is the time of season that brings all of the good to the fore...Expectations of great things to come...I hope that's the case for everyone on this board and may it continue on for the next year.....especially for our Winnipeg Blue Bombers....Wishing everyone all the best for 19'

Needs for next year
I guess it's harder for the old timers (ahem) on here that have known winning years and winning coaches ,that have a few Cup rings, and now see an endless drought...There's no more fans than the old war horses around here that want to see success...We're all Bomber fans through and through and because opinions differ, that doesn't change things...I'll give this present coach and admin. one more kick at the can....er Cup and if we continue down the same old bloody road of failure to win it all, I think it'll be time to take the bluengold shades off and do some serious reflection about changes...

A little bit of Sask. arse kissin' and schmoozing going on there I suspect...He wouldn't make our o line for sure.....done and done

Around the League: 2018 Season
Streveler is under contract to us in 19'...and any event why the hell would he want to go to the big smoke just cuz Lapo hooks up there...He's quite comfortable here and stands a very good chance of becoming the starter with his current team,rather than starting all over from scratch...I'm not concerned at all about Streve being here long term

This Regime
They play in the CFL...END OF

This Regime
Interesting comments on this regime....A lot of time lines have been brought up regarding this regime.....Certainly 28 years without a Cup does not belong at the feet of this present regime BUT IF we take the 5 year period that they are responsible, I like to compare our success or lack thereof with other 'regimes'....Top of my mind is Ottawa....They totally rebuilt (granted with the help of a re-entry draft) and have seen some pretty solid growth in the same 5 yr. span....One Cup.... and another appearance in which they could easily add another...Our record looks pretty anemic when you look at theirs and I guess after all of this time I thought we would/should be a lot further along...I don't know what the exact reason is, quite frankly, that we didn't at least have a home playoff game in 18'...I do not want to see a wholesale change BUT there obviously has to be some changes..It's going to get harder and harder to pass 'little gains' in a season that will appease the long suffering fans of this team...Any sign of regression next year and I think a few coaches will meet the same fate as the NHL Oilers head coach has today.. an in season exit

This Regime
I have a big concern and that is this.....We were built to take all the marbles this year....Players peak, get older and players leave....remaining a contender is going to be tough when you look down the road and see a lot will change....IF that change is positive for us...great...if not...it's eventually going to lead to another rebuild sooner rather than later...Will the fans stand for another long stint and drought searching for a winner and a Cup....Could get pretty thin in the stands and something this management has to ponder very seriously
-
Needs for next year
Kicking was great....otherwise scrap it it...We broke down in contain on a lot of kicks...allowing the better returners in this league to eat us up ...Penalties on a ton of runbacks wiping out any gains leaving us starting on our 25 yd. line a lot...I don't think a single punt return or returner of any note stands out to me this year...

Needs for next year
Especially since they both spent the same amount of time in the tub this year....no to Manny

Needs for next year
Could we please get rid of that special teams bozo...A fence post with hair could do a better job...To say it was pathetic for the most part of the year is an under statement...O'Shea has got to be embarrassed watching that sh$t show

Streveler as our starter in 2019
Nichols running game is non-existent....He has next to no escape game in him...It's either throw quick (which is when he's effective but I think he forgot for this game) or try to leg it out to the sideline ( while doing that he was too slow and couldn't even square his shoulders downfield to get the ball off) or hit the deck and get crunched.. Pretty much sums up Mr. Nichols play yesterday....Not good enough
-
Streveler as our starter in 2019
Well that's the gist of it...Every club knows Nichols is the weak link...average at best and is almost wholly dependent on Harris's running ability...Which leads us to every club keying on Harris ...eliminate or control him and you know damn well Nichols will eventually cave...It would have helped had we had another receiver along the lines of Matthews BUT there were receivers open in that bust of a game, that Nichols couldn't get the ball to in any event...To say there were no receivers open is just plain bull$hit ...He looked like he panicked after getting flushed out of the pocket and threw the ball away prematurely...On one occasion our go to guy was covered on the sideline BUT our secondary guy was wide open and Nichols promptly threw it into the third row...He's getting very good money to play better ball than that and I'm afraid he'll never be the clutch guy we need to put us over the top...Time to address that situation or prepare to keep going down a road of futility

Streveler as our starter in 2019
Streveler is the future and IF his development can be hurried along at a rapid and a respectful pace...…..see ya Nichols that playoff game against Cal. proved to me you're being way over paid and you're not good enough....Watching Bo Levi perform makes Nichols look like a backup of the third string variety...Time to re-negotiate or move on from Matt
-
Movin' on to take on the Calgary Stampeders!!!!
KEYS.....GET Bo off of his game...pressure man pressure... ………….AVOID plays that run at Singleton ………....TIGHT coverage by the Db's ...............Not easy but get that done and we could be Cup bound.....oh and Mr. Manager Matt has to come up with one of his best managerial type games

I would've liked to have got a close up shot of 'Poop's face at the end of that one....Priceless....and I guess his 'very late' addition didn't provide Jones with much...You might say they 'schat' the bed

Around the League: 2018 Season
The eternal search will now commence for a qb. in riderville.....one of which we only know too well....Not easy turning up a bona-fide pivot...I know that this is also factual....they are drooling every time Streveler takes the field....Luv it heh heh

Outside shout out to Bennett ...our third stringer who has a nose for the ball on special teams...Made a nice saving tackle that could have changed the complexion of the game...Which brings me to something I've harped on all year.....very poor coverage on runbacks by our downfield tacklers for the most part...Little or no return by our guys is leaving us a big deficit with regard to field position,,,C'mon Mike O....I know you're not blind...that has to be shored up if we're going to give the stumps a run.....
