We Are League Worst (officially)

[TecnoGenius]

I have heard them say they need to execute better several times, make the plays needed, clean up mistakes etc.

"Not starting fast enough"

"Should have handled TC/PS differently"

"We need to work" ("more" being implied)

There have been excuses squeaking out... but that's ok, gotta say something to get the rabid dogs off their legs.  I'd rather they say excuses than not say anything at all.  At least we get an idea of what they are thinking.

Watch this week's Buck interview on bb.com.  Very telling.  Dude's starting to feel the pressure.  Good.  That interview is proof he's not HC material, and that's not a slight on Buck, I want him here as OC, and he's a darn good OC.  He'd have had a nervous breakdown after 4 months in Riderville had he taken the HC gig.  They'd eat him alive, and then spit him out to Virden with such hatred and vitriol he'd never recover.  He totally made the right decision.

And Buck knows the solution -- what I've been saying for 2 weeks now -- MUST. WORK. MORE.  All day, every day.  More effort, more brain power, more practice, more planning.  More everything.  Because they didn't do that in the off-season, and clearly haven't in the first 2 weeks either.  Cruise control & coast mode is done, broken.

Time waits for no one, Montreal is heads and tails better than us.  Players and coaching.  We would not have won that one but losing in Ottawa was bad. 

It should have already happened, the number one team in the West should not fall to the basement.  Have all the faith you want, we can't hand other teams W's.

Patience will pay off.  We won't be great but won't be as bad as you suggest.  Yes need to win.

Patience....?  We were the best in the West three games ago.

Why lower the standard?  The 7 P's would be the only reason this team will not be great this season.

Excellence is the expectation tonight.  Near perfect, error free football.

LOL

Just conveniently ignores the off-season.

That's the time to make the team better.  Why should we expect or deserve anything less?

Colossal expectations tonight at home.  Anything less is a huge failure of the offseason and the preparation coming into this season.

Time for them to show who they really are, Go Blue!

Bombers bounce back tonight. 14-4 and everyone will be wondering why we were in such a panic.

That's excellent, my expectations are 15-3.  Slight improvement over last season.

A loss tonight would mean they need to run the table in order to improve on last season.  Go Blue!!!

That's generally the intention of management, but it's not that simple when you look at all the moving parts of a football team.

Sure it is, when you have the best team in the West you do everything in your power to maintain it.

Just need the proper people in place making the right, sometimes tough decisions.

Looking forward to tonight.   Perfect weather, at home.  Should see near perfect play.  Big returns, booming punts, winning the field position battle and both LOS's and superior QB play!

Apparently a good week of practice, tonight they show us their homework.

Go Blue!

You expect near perfect, error free football?  With this many newbies playing?  LOL
I expect some errors to continue, but as long as we show improvement, and get the 2 points, I'm a happy Blue Bomber fan.

It was a good week of practice, they are all apparently starters in this league.

Absolutely, great punting, stellar returns, big offensive plays, several TD passes, over 100 on the ground,hi pressure D with great coverage in the backfield.

No excuses.  Go Blue!

The right people have been in place for a number of years now.  To listen to you, you'd think all of a sudden they've lost it!  They may make the odd mistake but Their record, the coaches, management and level of players they have seems to prove they have what is takes to make "the right, sometimes tough decisions".

CFL teams are faced with making those decisions every year.  Some years are more challenging but the current regime hasn't - all of a sudden - lost their ability and mojo despite what some here would have you believe.

No, just saying they have made errors.  Unfortunately those have turned out to be huge and at the worst time.  Lots of good pieces here, just need to be utilized.

Anyway, tonight we get to see the total package.  An absolute tipping point in the season.

I have not been this excited to see a regular season game in a long time. Except home openers.

I have a feeling we see a lot of Streveler, not just one yard plunges. That is always fun to watch. Been awhile.

We are dead last and look like ******** out there

Ridiculous opinion.
