A MBB version would be better but I am not sure how the daily articles titled **** Saskatchewan would go over with a national audience.

3DN is super credible as far as reporting news. Dunk and Hodge are both very well connected throughout the league, just look at how many signings they leaked prior to official announcements. They don’t miss on that front at all and it’s unfair to say they do. The problem with them is the exact opposite of what you’re suggesting it is. When they get into actual analysis, it’s worse than your typical tan forum commentary. Hodge, JC Abbott, that guy who was on Big Brother from Calgary … they’re all lost when it actually comes to discussing football. if they just stick to the news they’d be fine and that’s coming from someone who really doesn’t like any of them on any level. They all suck. But they’re definitely well connected within the league - although I’ll definitely suggest it’s because SOMEBODY has to be and they do it by default for all the team executives and player agents

Probably pretty well outside of 4 stripe land.

it's a fan blog and nothing more. Dunk has a little bit of insight, but everyone else on there is just a messageboard poster posing as "media". We absolutely have better insight (and likely better writers) on MBB...

I am not so sure that a lot of those "anonymous inside quotes" weren't copied and pasted from some CFL fan forums. Not saying they all were, but I think some of them were.

Or have 2 OL go down and Oosterhois goes in at guard. But the beer sure was cold...

Thing is we had a lot of wasted roster spots. Dressing 7 OL hindered the team. Yes they used all of them for certain offensive packages... but was it the best use of roster? Not really IMO. Jackson was a total waste because he didn't do anything well enough to justify a DI spot there. Regularly dressing bodies who don't play a single snap... these things need to improve to get the best out of the team.

Highly doubt that was the reason for it...was just a result from it.....Osh I know for a fact doesn't like the rule...and fought to not have it passed....but lost on that hill....so he chooses to not use it....thats sure showing them thjo...yup....my take is suck it up Buttercup and put on yhour big boy pants An extra pick in the draft is not a garuantee for anything...and based on how we pick save for our top 1..2 picks...big whoopity do...I look at other teams picks after the slugs we grabbed cause their ST tape "jumped" off the screen and just shake my head...especially seeing how abysmal our cover team have become...and it was already a ***** festering wound already starting in 2022

That game was as close as they have come to the Dec early Jan run in terms of style thought they played well.

Agree 100%. the best thing 3dn had was the anonymous weekly quote article and that’s been gone a while

Time: Tuesday 7 Stats: 26-23-11 @ 39-16-5 Streaks: L1 @ W2 Last 10: 5-4-1 @ 8-2-0 Notes: SEA played Monday FWIW After 60 Games: 2023/24 39-16-5 = 83pts [RECORD HIGH] 2022/23 35-24-1 = 71pts 2021/22 27-33-10 = 64pts 2019/20 30-25-5 = 65pts 2018/19 36-20-4 = 76pts 2017/18 35-16-9 = 79pts

It’s hard to tell if the last 4 ish drafts have just been weak or if this is just the norm now. The nfl vacuum is at an all time high. Feeding the larger and more expensive tcs and prs.

I miss Drew Edwards too. He was the real deal, one of a dying breed of CFL reporters.

Gotta be careful, might start something that is so popular no one could keep up. I agree. Dunk is as credible as it gets for inside info. However, I am not really that sold on Hodge. The only stories I believe he breaks are nothing more than Dunk feeding him some cred imo. The T-shirts alone would need a sweat shop in Indonesia to keep up with demand.

His list from from post-Kevin Glenn to pre-Matt Nichols... so that would be 2009 through game 5 of 2016 (I think I have that time frame right)... I believe Kingsbury was only here one year, 2007

Watched it live one of the more insane things I have seen.

It also means that if you're valuing the draft pick that highly, you should probably hit on a few draft picks.

exactly...we have really done a piss poor job with Canadian depth that actually can contribute on a high level outside of teams.... further to that....nobody has picked up the SEAL and nobody is going to...and just further cements what a laughable and totally useless waste of a roster spot that was all damn yr long...all those reps and game day roster spots could have been used developing an actual talent....likely one who would come into 2024 playing lights out in yr 2....nothing like stagnating and blocking talent and development due o a Coaches stunnorness and boner

It’s gotten pretty bad but we have to keep in mind there was/is no alternative. I’m still glad we have a PFT style format for CFL news and opinions. It’s the quality of the writing (and very dated website) that’s lacking. I’d be 100% down to start a new CFL news/opinion/article site if anyone else here wanted. I’m positive there’s better writers on MBB than 3dn has on staff. Standing offer, for real. PMs always open.

Maybe, but if he isn’t taking a bargain deal he isn’t playing again. And that is a heavy weight that just gets heavier. yeah, we’ve been picking guys hoping they would insert right away on teams and develop into rotational players or better. And missed on damn near all of them. We aim low and still don’t get value. Our depth problems are damn near all chalked up to drafting poorly. We got guys starting that shouldn’t and back ups that are fringe last guy on the roster types. I’m hopeful that we will improve that this year. If we’re just going for teams guys we should look to trade 4th or lower for guys who are in the league. Some thing. I think we will see a run on linemen and wrs in this draft from the bombers. Eric Wilson went both ways for us as well.

The Chad Kelly discussion is running in circles. Please feel free to educate each other via PM.

Pigrome was ******* awful in Ottawa. He had more than one game where he had multiple turnovers on short-yardage. Don't think the Bombers would sign him, honestly don't think anyone in the CFL will. He's probably headed to arena ball.

It was only decent when the writer from Hamilton was there. After that lost all credibility. Fanboi bloggers now, nothing more.

Yes I also hope you're wrong about wasted roster spots. I'm willing to wait til the roster comes together before picking out a new whipping boy. I'd only argue the point about the Nationalized rule... there is a benefit to not playing those snaps and its a bonus 2nd round pick, which we did acquire. We do need better Canadians, the extra pick will help. We should have the best players on the field as much as possible though, if that means forgeoing the bonus 2nd rounder we should do it.

needs to be in the fore front...how much do you wnna bet we see another exampole of a dipshit manouver all yr long again tho...hope I am wrong...but Osh has had a penchant for his stubborn ideas pretty much in one form or another since he started....any one think we will take advantage of the Nationlized rule this yr...like every other team did?....no reason not to, other than his Osh ways....

Haha nah big dog you don't need my permission, I love boner talk 😄 carry on It was valid the first 7000 times and nobody disagreed. In the interest of saving himself some time he should just set it as his signature! 😛

effin right...I will beat the drum of stupidity and inept moves till no more Oxygen in my lungs...U dont like it...u know what to do

Perfetti is back in, Kupari is out.

FortheW?

yes still remember how we'd start Matt Sheridan and three plays in he'd be lying on the field grasping his leg/groin/whatever and be out of the game already, and I'd just be like "can't we find someone who doesn't get hurt every game to play on the OL?"

Of all the quarterbacks outlined in the list above, the one I had particular fondness for was our current offensive coordinator, Buck Pierce. Yes he was on the downside of his career but I still thought he played okay if he wasn't too banged up. He could huck the ball and make plays with his legs. He was filled with heart and intensity. I just enjoyed watching him play. But yeah, he is turning out to be a way better coordinator than he was a QB, even at its prime. Always was and still is a favourite of mine.

Save for the first pick...or 2...our draft strategy has been crap ..and almost pointless in developing a true position depth roster...we need to do a 180 from this ST mindset...any pro can play teams...any draft pick has a good chance at teams..minimal draft picks save from the obvious have a sure path to being productive rotation/depth guys

Agreed. But we've got very little out of the drafts in general. I'm not as confident in the ability to run 3 imports on the OL and not force a significant drop off on D if needed. They'll have to really hit a couple home runs in this upcoming draft. It's deep but also deep in guys that might take awhile to get here.

Blue Bomber Discussion It's in the description of the forum...

Best ever and it isn't particularly close. The only person who dominated curling to this degree is Kevin Martin (I just threw up in my mouth...) As mentioned, this is about being with the girls more. She deserves a chance to slow down and just be mom for awhile. The game has changed... you need to be throwing hundreds of rocks every day, and they're playing in bonspiels constantly. It's not just weekends. With travel, it's a week long venture every time. At some point, it's just too much. She has nothing to prove to anyone.

Jason Kelce done. https://people.com/jason-kelce-announces-retirement-after-13-seasons-nfl-8546576?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_content=manual&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&fbclid=IwAR36eGuzw1uVrp80syc5eNFbGE6k7EzJk8kug7bcUKhi6Q8OsxOMmPTRqg8

9 unanswered 3rd period goals in the same weekend I hope this team shows up for the playoffs
