Surprising coming from him. But what is he supposed to say - “good effort fellas, have an orange slice”. What do you want a coach to say to the fans after that **** show?

How about something along the lines of "It's a team game INCLUDING THE COACHES and we weren't good enough". You don't hang your players while accepting none of the blame yourself. Make him look like a phoney prick now after all those times he said he takes the blame himself.

Second week in a row Harris has been repeatedly, repeatedly, stuffed running straight dive plays up the gut. You'd think they'd try something else after awhile. He looks slow and plodding. Is he hurt? Even when he gets a bit of space he's neutralized. We need some misdirection. Also, the O needs some other legit run threats to keep opponents guessing. Which is why Streveler and Flanders should start next game, along with Harris and Demski.

New Bombers fan who just got into the CFL two weeks ago and picked the Bombers as my team to follow from New Jersey.  Looks like I picked the right time of the year to jump on board!!!!

 

My condolences

Real easy to stop the run when you can’t pass.

Richie Hall will fall this week. But there are deeper problems.

O’Shea rarely calls out players. And I have heard him refer to coaches having to be better. Two games like we just had warrant something more than “it’s a team game ...” Hall should be gone next season, but, so will a bunch of players if this keeps up.

Fall as in fired?  No,I can't see that happening at all.

The amount of passes up the middle to wide open guys, was scary...

Real easy to stop everything when there's no playaction...  Lapo was using it ALL the time early in the season - where did it go the last two games

7 runs for Harris - one was a ridiculous wildcat play - getting sick of Lapo's trick plays, just execute the basics already...

Do we have a bye coming up? Maybe then. But not sooner

Richie Hall D - its been this way for what... a decade...???

Hall needs a ridiculously athletic LB crew to make up for the shortcomings of his plays - if they miss once, they start falling into chase mode and can't recover for the whole game

Then Hall still reverts back to using Bighill like he's Sam Hurl...

Following Chris Walby's line of reasoning, putting in Streveler is opening Pandora's box.

So humiliating Nichols more and possibly injured is the smarter move ?

I think Hall will be here until the end of the season.  And perhaps after that.

And you always come running to his defense because you have some kind of love for him that blinds you to how bad a coach he is. What's really bothering you is that for years I've been saying MOS is not a good coach and you just can't admit it and/or that I was right or that you were wrong.

Who sees the team bouncing back from this real low point? Not sure I do.

I am sensing some resignation...saw Harris after another pounding by five tacklers, just lying on the turf.

Um the guy left the field... probably with a concussion.

These last two games we are starting to see some mistakes in the basic fundamentals, I it think that is what MOS was referring to when he said the players need to be better. Randle for example didn't get any sort of jam on Michel at the line on his TD and then he and two other Bomber didn't even attempt to tackle Jorden on his TD. This is a really bad sign that the players heads just aren't into the game. There has to be a shake up of some sort. To quote Kavis 'consequences'!

oh, oh no, didn't realize that at all. 

Thought I was lucky being in Wisconsin, during the Ottawa game. Watching today, sort of wished I was still back there.

 

I actually thought the Bombers could win this game.

Or at least be competitive.

They got massacreed.

I am officially out of Blue Bomber positivity.

The consequences, of course, were that Kavis ended up being gone. If MOS can't see that Hall needs to go then he may be next.
