coaching

2013 FA, SSK home GC year, they make sure they pay whatever it takes for top REC Geroy.

That's what we should have been doing.

offensive playcalling was so good to start the year, but seems to falter when we're down. defensively, i don't know. i like the concept but it has to be executed well and thus far it hasn't. it needs good DBs who can stay with their man. we don't have that now. it's so difficult to gauge how much is on coaching because execution has been so rough

We either start mitchel or cut him, having him sit out and pay him big $$ is ridiculous.

Not paying him big bucks - at least, not anymore.  His signing bonus was big bucks, but after bonus salary is just above league minimum (as per post-game CJOB).  So good money may have been spent, but we aren't throwing more at it to see if he may work out yet.

Having said all that, the state of our receiving group as it is, it sure seems to warrant finally bringing him in and seeing what he can do.

No matter who starts or plays,you have to produce. Sissy's who can't wrap up on efforts to tackle , DBs who can't close and wrap up are cheating their teammates.those guys should. Not be on a cFL team. They certainly do not play in an NFL team.

Plus our DBs are tiny.

In truth, our defense has lots of guys that can't make plays. Hence 8th place on the horizon.
The Mafia should be finished after the season, if they last that long. Poor job this year.

There it is calling for coaches to be fired.  Wow.  Seen this story before, then we got to 5 cups in a row.  I'll give 3 to 1 odds all our coaches make it to the end of the year and most return.

the play calling is atrocious. Not running with Brady is completely idiotic. Hogan is shocking brutal at calling plays.

he was so good until Clercius got called for holding on the Chris-Ike TD @ BC. Since that play, it's like he's scared to be innovative.

This regime has never operated in such a way, though.

And I, for one, am glad for that. Taman was a lousy GM.

completely agree and it wouldn't have been going out an signing a bunch of free agents Even if we had just signed lawler and replacements for ford and dobson we wouldn't be where we are.
I know hindsight is 50/50 but it was a huge lack of appreciation to the fans who have sold out the home games more than any team in the league. They deserved a fighting chance to win won at home.

Does Wade Miller have final decision power on spending on players?

The Bombers have been making a profit... player costs has to be part of that doesn't it?

When people say the Bombers aren't spending as much as they are allowed, doesn't this consideration come into it?

That Miller gives Walter's a budge to work with?

I think Lawler was gone. I don't really put that on the club. And also good riddance.

I think drafting had a few too many misses over the last 5 years. 2019 saw us have immediate impact players, but I don't think we have a single 1st round player on the roster right now who's a significant part of our team. I think that's really affected the OL pipeline.

Salary cap?

Wade muffed the 2015 cup season.  He did not have the lead up time he had for this one though , the team was bad for awhile back then. Hard to believe he is fumbling this one away.  Like others have said, Riders at home in 2013.  Taman went all in.  A lot of the good will and momentum is going to be lost if this is the product they stick us with for the remainder of the season.  That said, I expect big and major changes coming soon.

I don't necessarily want to feed the troll here, but what possible changes would you be expecting soon?

I think Jarious Jackson is a little over qualified for his current position and did fairly well taking over for Jones as interim.  I think he might play a bigger role as the season continues.....unless of course they somehow do a complete 180 over the next while.  The compete level is the most concerning imo.

IMHO I doubt there will be any major changes - maybe some minor tweaks etc. Maybe getting a few players back from injury will help a little. As for me I doubt we will see much change occurring! I believe it is too late in the season to make any significant changes given that IMHO Bomber Management really made too many major mistakes in the last off season and can not recover in time for this year.

JJ turned the EE around last season and almost made the playoffs.  Had winning record taking over a poor team.  Never say never, especially in pro football.  Anyway, we have three of four against the bottom feeders.  Already dropped one, Calgary will likely crush us again,not much wiggle room left imo.  It's going to be an interesting few weeks.
