The growing chorus of dissatisfied Blue Bomber fans may soon be heard, their increasing anger and disappointment over the state of the Bombers perhaps answered.
A report in the Globe and Mail suggests that phone calls have been made and tentative contacts made with both Casey Printers and Michael Bishop, two high profile former CFL quarterbacks currently sitting on the sidelines in the US after less than successful 2008 campaigns.
With the Bomber offence struggling under Stefan Lefors, the post game talk shows have been jammed with stadium, armchair and TV GM's offering up their advice as to what path the Blue should go to try and get things back on track.
Concerns over the lethargic and inconsistent Bomber offence (one first down in thirty minutes of football, just the latest trend) have grown as the Bombers pile up the losses.

During the course of Friday nights broadcast of the Bombers Argos game, head coach Mike Kelly was quoted as suggesting that he was almost at the point of having to "fish or cut bait" when it came to his dedication to Stefan Lefors to lead the Bomber offence.
Printers received a look over during the winter when he was put through some offensive paces by the Bombers after his release from his horrific year with the Ti Cats, with the Bombers suffering some horrors of their own in the first quarter of the CFL season, the Blue may be on the verge of perhaps giving Printers another shot at CFL success.
Likewise, Bishop may get a chance to reclaim a starting position, last lost in Saskatchewan following last years playoffs, Bishop who started the year last season with the Argonauts was moved when Toronto made Kerry Joseph their number one starter, his stay in Regina however was shortlived when the Riders failed to move forward in last years playoffs.
With the way the Bombers season is progressing, even the prospect of picking up the damaged or frustrated cast offs of last year may seem like progress, if nothing else, it may buy them some time with their fans, who are quickly letting the team know that they aren't happy with the way things are going so far.
Winnipeg Free Press-- Back to the sandlot, boys
Winnipeg Free Press-- Hey Kelly, your offence -- it's a really big issue
Winnipeg Sun-- Blue hit new low
