My vote is for Jackson. I was impressed with the Elks run game. I think he could bring some fresh ideas to Winnipeg's offence.

I like his rule about the bombers playing in every grey cup game

sign him up....I bet he would be a good mentor to Wilson too....He's more the type of QB Wilson is as to what Buck was....so that wouldn't hurt either. And I bet he be good for Strev too.

😄

Zack Williams is the guy you tamper for. Local kid, still lives here. Easy top 5 Canadian OL in the league today, in his prime. There's your RG for the next 7-8 years.

You must be new here...

Needs more context IMO.

In the GC itself, yes. But I don't think they achieve 4 consecutive west division championships - without ZC under centre.

What a piece of ****

Kyle Walters’ kid just committed to the Bisons.

BC just re-signed 3 guys that they cut in camp and didn't keep around much during season. Pool is a lot shallower with expanded NFL rosters and no restrictions on practice rosters plus increased pay.

If you have a QB who is going to be 39, generally moves the ball between the 20s and then falters and usually has a .500 record, you don't hesistate, you commit.

Shame that Wilson is made of glass cause God he could be a good player when healthy.

I tend to side with this

appropriate pic....giving cup away.....lol

Thomas Alexander Neufeld Bighill

Only to pull a Durant and walk away without ever sullying a Bomber jersey. It's the only acceptable scenario.

19/21 was a long time ago. Especially in football years. The same people who are content with 5 cups and 3 straight losses were the same ones mad at getting no respect in 21 and forward because cf/this team that team were past it. We were Hamilton in 19/21 the last two years. Now we’re struggling to maintain that level. And the same people who won’t be happy when we are at best the 3rd best team going into next year in power rankings. 19/21 team is never coming back from this squad. The only way back to that level is building up. We can’t maintain the status quo and expect to do better or as good any more.

You guys have trigged me. I am now off to my safe space.

The only correct response to the lack of news is

dude, if I remember right, you ragequit the game broadcast and thread during the @Montreal regular season finale. You cursed the 2024 team as surefire semifinal losers. Maybe it was you who provoked the shenanigans of the wind god? The gods hate a false prophet. I made it thru 1987, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2009, 2010, and 2013. I saw Tom Clements put up three points in 60 minutes at a home Western Final. I've eaten playoff 65-burgers, I've watched internally handled circuses and kneeldown shitshows and Jason Boltus. I was there when Travis Lulay painted Swaggerville orange and when Marcus Crandell won his Grey Cup MOP award. I tuned in for every game of the almost-good-enough Lapo squad that lost ten games by a combined thirty points. We were a potential 14-4 team that played down to 4-14 that year. I'm pretty sure I'm a lifer at this point too.

I burst out laughing when I read this.... The arrogance of this *******...

Some Riderfans have convinced themselves they're on a one year run, they'll deal with the future of the QB position after Harris wins them the Cup. The stars are aligning perfectly over Sask. Oh ****! It's a meteor!

Can't overstate how big of a loss Goveia is. Not many around with his knowledge, connections and abilities across Canada. Sort of feels like this era is coming to an end.

ZC is going to chuck it downfield. The best thing they can do for the offense...is field personnel who can best make that work.

Goveia is a big hit.

I hate that I laughed

Is Bryant a lock for the Ring of Honour... Lol. The greatest OL in CFL history..... Ya...... Might find some room there for him.

I'm assuming Bryant is an automatic for the ring of honour?

Dude should have rightly been the grey cup MOP. Was a complete force for the argos all game long.

Mcmanis. I wouldn't mind seeing him in blue and gold.

It’s been said 10,000 times and it probably won’t happen, but kola is the big problem. Every guard we’ve had has struggled next to him. Change him and what we see from the rest will improve drastically. Honestly, I’d be open to trying Dobson or Neuf at C, or going imp, or ofc Eli. The guards struggle covering and working with kola soo much. Everyone will improve with that change Wallace is gonna steal some ones job imo. If he takes half the step forward next year took this year he’s gonna be our best interior ol. We really need to bring in multiple legit imp tackles and more Canadian interior ol depth. We can’t keep hoping a former guard is gonna become the next big thing at T for us.

I didn't even get past the first paragraph of that article. (your welcome for the clicks Hodge). I'm not sure MOS has ever signed a new deal when he still had 1 year left on his current contract. I honestly can't remember when it comes to Walters but I think it's been similar. So Hodge wrote an article about things being the way they've been for the past....6? at least 6....years in terms of GM/HC contract negotiations. **** I gotta start writing....

I need to stock up on popcorn...for when Fajardo signs with the Bombers...

You guys are right, Dru Brown back to Winnipeg for 2026 is my hope.

Strev will be back...and 6 games won't even count on cap...he's a key signing as much as many seem to think otherwise...and a new OC will be a godsend to him I'd like to see him used as more than the 2nd/3rd string guy...utilize his cap hit on teams..in 2 QB offence...in backfield...punt team as Prukopp was used...be ideal for fake punts if he always out there Groom Wilson as the heir apparent...get 2nd string reps...let Strev run jumbo...stuff on teams and unique offensive schemes...the times buck put the 2 qbs out there it was pointless

I have no idea where all this Streveler negativity came from, but it seems to have shown up outta the blue right around playoff time this year. No idea what's driving it... He's costing us next to nothing, cap-wise, and could still be our future starter in 2025. Why do people all of a sudden think he sucks and is too expensive? Because he blew out every ligament in his knee? Or because Buck and the staff chose to use him as a bulldozer only?

Its late in the 2025 Grey Cup. Winnipeg is trailing by 5 late in the 4th. Cody Fajardo comes in for an injured Collaros and leads a game winning TD drive. Winnipeg fans are unable to celebrate a home Grey Cup win because all of their heads have exploded.

I think that is a great deal for the Stamps. Adams at $465k is a very good spend.

Two of about a zillion reasons why the ncaa is a garbage organization.

how I look at it is that this crap he spews about they all here cause they are starter caliber...and because they give us a chance to win ...they here in the building for a reason.....is something he doesnt even believe in himself....as he shows he rarely lets a guy get a chance to play unless someone has had a limb fall off....ZC finger almost fell off....but just wasn't enough So if he doesn't even believe it...why should fans?? exactly this....when guys are given the chance to play they can do great things....goes for the second and third stringers too...no?....and if they have no faith in them doing something great...why they on the roster??....Contradicts his previous statements that they all here cause they give us a chance to win...so why wont you play the healthy guys over an injured..... argos also let their best players play....and will yank a gy for sucking...even if it rufffles said guy's sucking feathers...as we have seen with some squabbling on their sidelines...that being said....it has allowed them to win the 2 cups theyhave been in recently.....maybe after being taught 2 straight lessons from them, maybe we took some notes???

So here's the disconnect... you see it as inability to find better players, everyone else sees it as reluctance to tell vets to go away. Best DT combo the team used all year was woods and adams (where did they get those guys again?) Yet they stuck with the idea they needed a Canadian at the position so it was lots of Thomas.

Wonder if he gonna waste another yr in 2025 like he did in 2023...waiting...not earning a penny...if he doesn't make a roster out of camp He gonna be 27 going into next season..would project as a project at best most likely...can't see a team investing much time or money into him especially when there are tons of guys just like him churned out of NCAA ball...younger...and have played u.s ball since 5 yrs old.

I would have no issues bringing back Lapo if Buck bolts to B.C. listen I’m excited what he would be able to do to get Oliveria the football. And in time in Winnipeg he had Nichols as his QB and Darvin Adam’s as our best receiver. He got the most out of the offense with what he had. I liked how he got people included in the offense. People say he’s conservative but for most of his time here look what he has to work with. His play calling in the 2019 playoffs was a big part of why we ended up winning the cup that year.
