Ah the amount of people who have no idea as to the amount of micromanaging Miller does behind the scenes. Cute.

I Think its a Lapo decision

OK. If that is so then just to add to the intrigue and slather on some conspiracy for good measure - is Lapo purposely trying to deep six MOS? I guess MOS is smart enough to see if that is the case. And Lapo will be gone sooner rather than later.

Tim Burke was not in year five, a year they went "all in" to win it all. This collapse is by far a worst case scenario for all of them. 

Its about the QB.. Ppl can blame coaches but... Nichols has been awful this year and Streveler while promising is a rookie...

Miller has done a real good job.  

Walters has done mostly a good job,  needs some help on recruiting American Receivers but for the other positions I wouldn't complain.   

I don't think this team needs a massive overhaul.    No need to panic and freak out... the last 2 seasons were really good.  

Team needs help on offense ... maybe one stud Receiver  (Darvin Adams is to streaky IMO)  needs to be more consistent.    

Need a new defense coordinator ... players seem to be talented enough IMO.  

LaPo is a wild card...  I'm still on the fence if it's all on Nichols or a joint effort.  

Clearly Nichols isn't good enough to get it done.   For a guy like him he doesn't have the physical tools that can off set shitty decisions.   The guy with his limited mobility and not so hot arm needs to be playing at a A+ level in order for him to win at the league.  Someone like Masoli and Reilly have the physical tools to at least run for their life and or toss deep bombs that can at least give the plays a chance.   

I haven't fully given up on Nichols yet,  but he needs to sit for at least 2 games to get his head out of his ass and prove that he can still play.  

Drew Willy say hi.

Well here is something to consider... Nichols and Streveler today both came out 10/20 in completions for the same number of yards. So that to me says the OC is a much bigger factor than the qbs. 

One is a raw rookie coming off the bench cold with the team losing.     The other is the veteran who had starting reps for the last month and was the one who put the team in the hole....  big difference.  

Overall stats for the season shows the rookie with a noticeable difference in having better stats.  

Jones is in year 3 of a rebuild and his team looks a lot better than ours.

I think its just simple... CFL is a QB driven league.. Ours has been brutal and option 2 is a green rookie. So.. Its tough..  You dont wanna ruin the rookie right but today showed me that if Nichols is truly struggling hard our coach will pull him. 

Our OC tho... Our O is designed to fail.. No run plays for Strev or Harris or Demski or anyone all 2nd half. Our O is truly square pegs round holes... The Lapo special.. Theres a reason hes been fired twice b4.

That was precisely why he hired Walters...so he could micro manage him.

No we dont' fire O'Shea....   Hall is canned for sure.   LaPo... not sure yet.  I'd like to see what he does with Streveler starting.   TBD on LaPo.   If he fails with Streveler then Lapo can also go. 

Sure, why not waste another year with O'Shea? He needs time.  We need stability.

What Miller does is irrelevant.. I can't believe ppl here... Miller isn't the problem.. The QB is

He also has a coaching and support staff that doesn't fit on a Canadian sized football field....until next season.

They don't look that good.  Bombers blow out both games with even average QBing.  You'd expect to lose by 20-30 handing the other team 3 scores a game.

Every team looks good when you get 2 pick 6s... Riders scored like 25 points off turnovers today... 

They are a good team but right now our OC and QB are killing us

Do they really look that good?  They barely won today and their offense looks like shite.   O'Shea's team looked better the last 2 seasons then what Riders look like now.     

QB

OC

DC

Lack of import receivers

DL depth

Getting to be a big list.

Where was the Streveler package then?

There certainly appeared to be a lot of empty seats today....sadly for a game that should have been a sell out.

The concession areas, especially the rum hut area, were jammed all game. I think that accounts for many of the empty seats.

To simply place the blame of what has happened on the QB is a complete oversimplification.....and the tip of the iceberg.

Are you new to the CFL? Here.. Ill help you.. 

Teams with QBs = good 

Teams without = bad.

Actually it's very relevant. Yes QB is unquestionably a problem, but you're kidding yourself if you think Miller isn't flawed, doesn't make bad decisions relating to the team, and doesn't meddle where he shouldn't be meddling.

And how the Bombers were playing. Hmm rum hut sounds good.
