  4. Walters has done an exceptional job. Building a team from the ground up. Going from worst ran organization in the league to a potential dynasty, and first class organization.

  6. 3Down has been talking about this. Apparently with a win the Bombers would be the first CFL club ever to win 400 home games in their franchise history. Calgary was at 399 but the Bomber win two weeks ago denied them the claim to be first. And the Bombers play before Calgary this week. FYI Edmonton has been stuck at 397 home wins since 2019.

    I'm going to be honest, I don't personally think O'Shea is an NFL coaching prospect whatsoever. That's not meant as a slight on him, that's just not who he is. He's a culture builder, not a guy who is outfoxing the opposition with a superior mind for the Xs and Os. I'm a HUGE O'Shea fan but I truly believe his actual in-game decision making is very average. His use of the 40-44th guys on the roster is very questionable, his stubbornness and refusal to challenge almost anything has certainly cost us points and you can't even say we see constant benefit from his unmatched knowledge of the rulebook these days - we used to, but not for a long time. Our success comes from the next man up mentality and his belief that a guy like Les Maruo is just as capable of playing on a crunch time second down as Adam Bighill. He believes it and now they all believe it too and you see the result. O'Shea is an absolutely incredible head coach, best I've seen of any CFL team in my lifetime, but I can't imagine he's on the NFL radar at all. What he does is get every single guy in that locker room to buy it and be willing to run through as many walls as it takes for him. He could teach classes on it. The buy-in he gets is unbelievable to me and I'm thrilled to see it. The rub? He's not getting it in an NFL locker room as a Canadian coach without a lick of NFL experience and he's not fit to be a NFL coordinator at any level other than I guess maybe special teams. I'll enjoy the ride with O'Shea for as long as it lasts but I don't think the threat of the NFL is viable at all.

  11. Coaches are hired to be fired. There will come a time at some point where the decision is made to move on from O’Shea. Just the reality of pro sports. I'm just going to enjoy the ride while it lasts.

    I drove east on #1 highway on Sunday afternoon and about 12km east of Winnipeg there was a gathering of convoy protesters on a frontage road, complete with big Canadian and American flags. there was less than a dozen vehicles and this would probably qualify as emotional masturbation that may make you feel good but produces no new life,

  24. The player record is 7 (3 players - Jack Wesley, Bill Stevenson, and Hank Ilesic). The head coach record is 5 (5 tied - Wally Buono, Frank Clair, Hugh Campbell, Don Matthews, and Lew Hayman) As far as I can decipher from my hunting, the overall record is 10 (including those won as player, assistant/head coach, GM, or president) held by both Don Matthews (5 as an assistant with Edmonton in their 5 year streak, another 5 as head coach including 3 in a row with Baltimore/Toronto back-to-back) and Hugh Campbell (one as a Rider player, 5 straight as Eskie coach, 1 more as Edmonton GM alone, 2 more as both GM and President/CEO, and the final one just as President/CEO, all of the last 9 with Edmonton). Matthews also appeared in 7 straight Cup games from 1977-1983 as an assistant coach or head coach which as far as I can tell is a record. Buono has 7 rings total (two as a player with Montreal) Cal Murphy won 9 Cups as a coach or GM, including 6 in a row which I believe is the record (Montreal in 1977 as an assistant, then 1978-82 as the Eskimo OC). He of course won as Bomber HC in 1984, then as GM in 1988 and 1990. Made two more HC appearances in 1992 and 93 with Winnipeg and one as Sask. assistant coach in 1997 for a total of 12 appearances. Dan Kepley is next I believe at 8 Cup titles as a player and coach. Matthews and Buono have each taken part in 14 separate Grey Cup games (Buono has the record for most head coaching appearances at 9), Campbell holds the overall record from what I can see at 17 (3 with Saskatchewan as a player, 14 with Edmonton as coach or management). And now you know………the rest of the story.

  29. It is not fair to Rourke to compare him the Casey Printers. Printers had great physical tools but a brain the size of a walnut combined with an ego the size of a Mack truck. Everything I have seen in Rourke leads me to believe that he is a good guy as well as a pretty decent quarterback.

  38. You were comparing Rourke to Cody Fajardo. I gave you 5 starts out of 17 where his stats were worse than the worse game from Rourke. You may be right that Rourke ends up a one year wonder but Cody Fajardo wasn't even that. Rourke has already thrown more td passes in 7 games than Fajardo did in his 2019 season and he only needs 1800 yards or 180 yards a game to match his yardage total.

  39. If only we could average out the amount of points given up per game since we have an unbalanced number of games played… oh wait we can and we have given up the fewest points per game in the league! We’ve given up 18 points per game bc has give up 18.4 and Calgary 21.4!
