To paraphrase "waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh"

You have a real lack of understanding of mental health issues, the factors that lead to them, and the outcomes of mental health. You should educate yourself rather than making unsupported claims.

Comes off sounding like a tool who didn’t get his way. Probably a comment better left kept to himself, can’t see other GM’s particularly happy with those comments.

Wasn't Osh who made any comment about how we will draft. It was Walters. He stated that "our kind of guy" is one that is physical, tough, and loves to play the game. I see nothing wrong with any of that being a prerequisite for any of our draft picks. If you want to attribute it to Osh, and move the goal posts on what was said have at it though, I don't see Walters as a guy who is leaving talent on the board at the draft. Yea, he had a rough draft last year but so did every other GM. It was an awful draft year. Winnipeg is also happy that BC lost out on the bidding for BO's services. I guess this is a win win....actually nope...the Lions lost and are apparently giddy about it.

Man I don’t like the auto scrimmage from the 40 after a td. Maybe if it’s a none offensive td and make it automatic after a fg. I’d rather move the teams closer and make it slower speed for td kick offs. And or the no one can move until the ball is caught. Kr is a pivotal part of the Canadian football identity.

I hope we dont pick "our kind of guy".....code for a plugger who will never be seen as a starter calibre let alone viable back up for the most part....and I mean picks 3 thru whatever....not in general before all the dbags start to chime n but...but...practices hard...puts in the work....as per Osh...well wtf?!?...any player who isnt should be kiked to the curb

I’m pretty sure Walters could blindfold himself and throw darts at a John Hodge mock draft and end up with a better player than Tanner freakin Schmekel

3 Stars: 🥇37 🥈55 🥉81

Just show me the injury stats for kick returns and prove this isn't all based on anecdotes and speculation.

I really believe this is the case, and not Walters suddenly forgetting how to gauge talent...

They're just jealous. They get all the hype every year past couple seasons only to have the Bombers punk them in the games that matter.

I love doman/ringmaiden and I’m really happy to see the cfl in bc making a come back. But damn they got some whiners between the franchise and media. I have no idea of the nature of their partnership on the draft, free agency etc. but I’m sure both had a say, and were probably reasonably happy with the hauls on draft day. And I’m sure both would love to have a better couple of drafts in retrospect. But I do get drafting for need on a dynasty with limited picks in low quality drafts. I don’t believe any one would be making ego picks disregarding what the rest of the brain trust thinks. I’m also sure we will be looking to restock the cupboards and pick high upside guys. This is a too heavy draft and we have lots of picks. Weve made a lot of hard moves this off season that scream of an end to the old boys club. The drafts will be a big litmus test for camp and the season.

The whole play was strong. Josh’s pass was sweet. Jets deserved the W. Regardless of who they play, they will be hard to beat 4 out of 7 games. I honestly think they are Canada’s best chance in a long time. depth is there. The D play is there. Ppl look at shots but lots of those are coming from far away. I think I saw we had 15 high danger chances and they had 3. Thats pretty wild. We pretty much shut the rangers down for 57 minutes at msg.

I know it was Walter's and that draft strategy of late has not served us well...Did I say anything about Oshea?...no i didnt....so dont put words in people's mouths...but on the flip side many others as well as you also say Osh isnt soleyrepsonsible for the complaints about poor roster and Practice roster Management, and that it's partly the GM who is brubging in the talent...so you cant nit pick both ways either...I also know for a fact Osh is highly involved in the personell they pick via the draft....rgardless...the strategy of past several yrs of picking guys who dont amoubt to anything but spevial teams usage is flawed...pick the best talent thats left and maybe yu get a guy who actually pushes for a job

Always 2nd best. Sorry Lions. Womp, womp.

Is it still driving up the price when he signed here for much less than what they offered? Maybe to an extent but he was still in line for a big bump. I guess we'll never know what he could have signed for if not for teams like the Lions. Also way to pat yourselves on the back guys. You made the 2nd highest contract offer (Hamilton offered more per year - $275k vs BC's 250ish) so if anyone was driving up the price, it was the Ticats.

One of the best empty net goals I've seen for a while. I'm surprised that defenseman didn't break both his ankles getting twisted into a pretzel like that.

A few draft choices may go back for their last year in college. A few will start the season on PR as development players. It wouldn't surprise me to see a couple of the 2024 draft choices actually make the AR. We've lost a few Canadians that spent most of 2023 on the AR, so there are some open spots. It also wouldn't surprise me to see a few Canadian depth players not make the roster in any form. So we'll see how our selections go. Previously I suggested that we might try and trade up since we have 10 selections this year. As an example, would we trade our # 8 & # 17 or # 20 for a top 5 draft pick? Just spit balling.

Especially about Iafallo. The cap dump guy played extremely well tonight

Scheifs with the well deserved trick! Keep it up.

Does Scheif feel lucky?

"As per Osh" were your words, not me putting words in your mouth but I agree that Walters has been part of our poor roster management equation as well. I agree to pick the best player available, and I am not entirely convinced looking around the league that they didn't. This year is supposedly a deep draft, if all they come out of it with is teamers we will know whether they purposely picked teamer type guys or that's all that was really available when they picked. I would bet big money on us picking guys that would best help our club on every pick we've made over the past couple years. Unfortunately, the last 2 drafts did not have much depth at all because of the covid deferring.

Finally something I can unequivocally agree with you on

Trading up or futures picks will definitely have to happen. We can't draft 10 guys and have any realistic shot at of having spots available for them so either trade for better quality or take some guys that won't be in camp this year.

for you Draft/Combine nerds... this goes tomorrow at 2pm MB time......... https://www.cfl.ca/2024/03/05/cfl-combine-presented-by-new-era-live-bench-press/

I’d be good with moving up. If I can’t tho I’d prob consider taking a flyer on a guy or 2 who we may not see for a couple of years. With all the picks we got, this might be the year to do that eventho we normally don’t

Theyre much better. Had the meatball sub from the Sterling Lyon location and its was awesome. Ill gladly pay an extra buck or two for something much better.

I acknowledged this about 4 months ago. I’ve been quite positive about the team this year. Nice to know you comment and don’t just downvote ppls opinions.

What a win. This team is legit.

LUCKY!!!!!!

HAT TRICK!!!!

55 is a beast tonight. 6 shots on goal is wild.

Scheifs is totally motivated tonight. What a poke check to lead to his breakaway goal,!

Scheifele!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ehlers is absolutely flying out there.. Still trying to do a little too much... But keeping NYR honest

Another power play upcoming. Exciting game so far for both teams. Connor on the PP and Jets regain the lead!

Good to see the guys standing up for that cheap shot on Scheifs... The Ranger could have easily stopped but decided to go right through 55. Ehlers just misses on the breakaway

Yea, that shouldn't be too tough. Two years ago he didn't have a first rounder and last year was just a bunk draft year. I don't think any team in this league is particularly stoked by their last 2 drafts.

I’d start him 8 out of 15 times. Helle needs a rest. Bro is better than some teams starters.

Yep. Cept neither is even good at teams lol. with this strong a top portion of a draft and soo many picks I’m sure walters will have his best draft in years.

with Nolan directing.... let's ******* go!! Bond movies are almost always great (to varying levels)... the Craig movies are all at least GOOD, if not incredible. I am always down for a Bond movie every 5 years or so...

Not as much as you might think.... bonus to those stadiums and arenas being mostly concrete and metal.

My son ate there a couple weeks ago already. Says its way better than Bunway/Subway.

And yet, there are tons of people in Saskatchewan who have no issue with that at all.

Take a look at the stadium photograph above. Maybe just tear down half the stands, get rid of the track, and build the opposite side with new stands filled with private boxes. In a government town like Edmonton they would find ways of filling those boxes without violating some sense of propriety. The old stands that remain could be discounted relative to the new stands on the opposite side, which would help bring in families at prices they could afford. Yes, renew the refreshment stands and washrooms in the old sections. Meanwhile the new stands would be able to handle more premium food and drink sales. There is a lot of money in Edmonton that would want premium seating, higher end refreshments and all that kind of stuff. The private boxes could add in luxury amenities. This is not hard to figure out; it's just hard to get past the little fiefdoms that exist in the political arena; they bow to the big money in that city. Some leading figure/s would somehow have to sponsor such. Leadership would have to go beyond the old boys club that tends to dominate the Board of Directors in cities like Edmonton and Winnipeg. Wade Miller did it here. Such a leader needs good background in both marketing and applicable business skills. That's how community-based teams can continue. In Regina they got Mosaic Stadium done but they've gone backwards in football operations. In Calgary, the CFL does not have the sex appeal that the status minded have for the Flames. That's more politics and a lack of civic leadership in Canada's leading business city. Calgary's mayor's office has a disproportionate amount of power while the business people are too focused on making lots of money. Again football needs a civic champion in that community.

Prove it
