Really easy to always say that there's some mystical coach out there that would be a better fit. We've been through generations as CFL fans watching teams including our own who keep believing that. Hufnagel, Grant, Mathews, Buono, O'Shea That's the order of CFL coaches by winning percentage. Let's pull our collective heads out of our asses.

Buy me a Grey Cup or go to hell!

Don't you take that tone with me...

I'm not sure the league is ready for a Blue bombers vs Blue bombers GC though

Fun fact - 10 yrs ago today the Goat of Goats #66 on the field but #1 in your hearts, Stanley Bryant signed with the struggling WPG Blue Bombers, starting the path that would lead to the creation of an absolute CFL powerhouse team, the likes of which hadn't been seen in decades!! Just a ******* LEGEND!!

Just raise the minimum salary. The top guys get enough already.

Team says it's just an error on the transaction wire.

So what's everyone's take on Jake Thomas? Feel like we've barely scratched the surface with that discussion.

To me, it really seems like the moves we are making scream “we are going to use the designated American rule this year” and I’m a fan of that

You gotta be really sour to have your mind made up on this being a bad hire. Keep in mind Buck Pierce hadn't called a play for a PeeWee team before he was given the OC job here. You've got three experienced CFL coaches leading the offense. Judgement on Hogan's scheme/play calling can come later.

Im pretty sure kolo is a top 25 centre in the league. Might not be top 20 though.

He got us a win and dragged that calgary game to OT when collaros was well on his way to losing it in regulation. This **** talking of streveler is insane.... dude didn't forget how to play, our offensive coaching was hotngarbage last season.

Twas me. Not really sure what happened. Buddy just texted me and said “what the hell, we signed Patterson instead?” oh well I don’t need to be accountable, so I won’t be

Told you he was 100 percent coming back...and have no doubt he will be ready right out of the gate Now use as an actual QB who has the threat to run as a secondary thing...no more of the battering ram plays...sure include some designed runs but disguised and not every damn play Good signing..

With our pending FAs removed and rumoured FA signings included:

We don't? What a waste of time this has been posting here for the last 12 years.

Player got payed. Player praises new team. Startling.

You might consider switching to decaf.

I don't care what team you root for, but if you haven't mocked Fajardo at some point in his career, you're not a real fan! 😂

https://cflpa.com/cflpa-shares-historic-salary-cap-increase-for-2025-season Can't be seen as anything but great news, imo.

Apparently. And apparently not Dukes. Someone is getting banned.

I would find it hard to believe teams found out about this today like we are. I'm guessing this has been in the works for at least a few weeks.

I'll put this out to the universe, McEwen or Couture as a target to upgrade our center spot.

Well all u bitchin about BO not getting the ball enough in the GC, that issue is fixed! 😉

I LOVE that signing. Great piece to have.

You're talking about the HC who in 2023 played 4 players who physically couldn't play. Then last year put Zach back in the game with an injured & bloodied finger on his throwing hand. Blind leading the blind. Both Osh & Buck let everyone down.

Honestly I don't even know why they're going to play this season. It's already over for them

That’s 2/5 on the yikes scale. Demski is a 4/5. Those two are a 5/5 for Edmonton. Holm Kramdi and Demski will do fine here. Edmonton can’t really be sure what to get for all that cash. Yeah his elite quickness should yield a lot of on ball plays other than knock downs which were down last year for him. Idk though on one hand he’s 26 he should be able to to take a step forward. On the other he has already started 2.5 seasons worth of games. I honestly don’t expect him to improve or diminish any time soon. If he does take a step forward I’ll be pleasantly surprised. If any thing he got worse last year. Tremendous mental toughness from him though. Never lets adversity break him.

And we all have a voice whether it's good or bad. We agree or disagree. We're lucky to have this place. Fans in Montreal & Ottawa have nothing.

It makes sense, you’re both old crusty ramblers about everything wait are you Paul Friesen?

A few players underperformed...so did some on winning teams that beat us too...that's not an excuse Unferperforming players generally are a direct line to being poorly coached in a game and failing to adjust and schemed wrong generally 90 percent of time...that and a player either just not good enough...or healthy ..and sadly we had all of that combining in it Those 3 reasons are why we pissed away 3 straight cups...we were out coached and poorly constructed ..especially the last 2 cups with minimal to zero depth to actually play as an adequate injury replacement...coaching was our demise even considering all the ya buts..they mean diddly T.o had nothing going on with their offence in 2022...so they yanked the underperforming vet for a rookie..pulled it out...mtl used a middling limited QB who we had owned.. schemed a game plan for him to negate our strengths...we didn't adapt ...we played 5 guys...key guys clearly injured...as we had no depth..or faith in backups...Mtl won T.O last yr...had to start a backup...schemed a plan for him...and on defense same...we either couldn't...or wouldn't adapt...then continued to play a qb who couldn't throw...as we either had no depth or faith in it...or ability to on the fly create a plan...and lost That's coaching boys and girls...but oh yeah we won the west...who ******* cares

dad?

I read that twice before I didn't see "socks and gotch".

I like Buck, I think he did a lot of really good things for this team.... but last year... wooof that was bad on a lot of levels from the offense.

I’ve done that…..inadvertently….holding 2 beer

Argos didn't exactly neutralize Olivera......we simply did it for them........

Streveler came in as a qb and had his initial success as a qb. Somewhere along the way coaches decided he was a runner and that's it. Let him play the position with a full playbook and he either succeeds or he doesn't same as any other player.

From 3DN article , made me laugh The 30-year-old was especially effective during the team’s Grey Cup run in his second season with the club, rushing for 82 yards and a touchdown in the West Semi-Final against Calgary and throwing a touchdown pass in the championship game over Hamilton. During the ensuing celebration, he gained cult hero status in Winnipeg as he sported a fur coat and cowboy hat while consuming an inordinate amount of beer.

Use him as a qb and use him liberally if collaros is going to show his age.

Streveler re-signs

I'll provide a livestream of @Booch driving Jake to Hamilton. All I ask for is gas $.

truth be told, I think if we do suddenly have a bit more cash to play with for a receiver, we’d be better off saving it for Pokey when he comes back edit: let me clarify, I know he’s under contract if he comes back. I’d give him a raise for this year with an extension attached so we can actually lock a guy up long term and not do this song and dance every year I’d also be pushing for Brady (especially) and Schoen extensions

Ok comrade.

this is the worst decision the Bombers have made with a Hogan since they banned the Section S one

Almost $300k for Lawler apparently. I think you guys are smart for not paying that price. Per Hodge, Liam Dobson is also going to Hamilton. Goveia is bringing all his buddies…

If we go with jones/jones and ayers as our wil/mac and continue the dime sub pack for the wil on some plays I think that hole is already filled. At nose, I think they will also maintain the status quo. Lawson will hopefully take more reps than jake, he and woods will trade off those inside duties. On a side note, I think the rules committee should allow jake to use the waggle. He's soo damn slow it's the only way he can line up off the ball and consistently get to the OL before the ball is thrown. 😂 I really hope he doesn't take as many or more snaps than woods/lawson this year.

This feels like something you of all people are literally not allowed to be upset about You (just like me) have been shouting that we need to make room for some younger guys to have opportunities to become impact players and you’ve been talking up one in particular for quite some time This is a move to replace a fairly average player and your guy you’ve been talking up will potentially have a fair shot to fill that spot I’m not mad at all, Garbutt wasn’t anywhere near what we thought he would be

Thank you for your service Johnny Augustine and Lucky Whitehead

I think we found a returner.... (and that should, of course, read Peyton Logan)
