Idk we've been pretty good drafting receivers lately. Sure he's a known commodity, but if we can find more rookies to replace outgoing receivers like Schoen, why pay a premium when we can pay less on a hungry rookie?

Did you know...
Frank Gunston, MD of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada passed away on February 16, 2016 at his home in Brandon, Mb. He is credited with inventing the first artificial knee in 1963. Dr. Gunston worked as an associate of Sir John Charnley, MD through a traveling hip arthroplasty fellowship at Wrightington in Lancashire, England. He became interested in arthritis of the knee after observing hip patients also having pain in their knees. According to the Winnipeg Free Press, Dr. Gunston developed a knee replacement by combining “plastic and metallic elements in a set of tracks, attached to the top of the tibia with matching set of metal inserts fastened to the femur, allowing the joint to work together by moving along a runner.” He was not interested in patenting his work, but instead made it available to everyone. Full story.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS! 

If it helps at all, focus on what you have control over. If you can’t control it, it can’t control you. 

This week has sucked. Among other things, I am currently getting **** on unfairly from someone who is unhappy with the way I am volunteering my time (you can probably guess what the volunteering is), and am about ready to quit. I couldn't sleep on Sunday or Monday, and this new drama has wrecked last night's sleep as well, so I am currently miserable.

Honestly, the only guy I could think of to let walk would be Rose. He had a huge drop off this year, and several games he was on the wrong end of busted coverage...
I don't know what I'm talking about though lol.

This.  The offense hasn't really been an issue all year and Sunday was the worst possible time for a dud.  Lots of blame to go around on that side of the ball (except for maybe Brady).  Lack of protection from the O-Line, some questionable play calling, poor throws, poor route running... it all added up and cost us in the end.

The problem is Lawler had Tre Ford throwing to him. As for Burnham - there is no way he's being pried loose from BC. Anybody know if we have Agudosi under contract next year? Between him and O'Leary-Orange, Lawler may not be necessary.

Had the Bombers lost in 2019 Grey Cup, I had already made the decision to step back as a Bomber fan to protect my mental health, so I fully sympathize and understand what it can do to a fan. It's why I joined the forum and logged tens of thousands of posts in the first place, it was therapeutic to know that there were others out there willing to talk, discuss, argue football with that were just as committed as me. I found solace on these boards during our down times, and learned a long time ago that these losses are more than just football to many of us. The last three years helped me prepare for this loss, because I know what this team is capable of and I was able to shrug it off more easily. I am sure once the offseason starts rolling things will get easier for all of us as we still have a crap load to be excited for. This team is not done.

That is why I quoted Lawlers numbers from his last year with the Bombers. 

Wolitarsky

saying we don't need Lawler back is asinine. Also, I would be SHOCKED if Sheed wasn't back next year. 

We wish them the best.

At the end of the day, despite all the drama, angst and hyperbole, it was just a game. I have two members of my extended family currently in hospital fighting for their lives and I have followed the Bombers for about 50 years but we do need keep a perspective. For some, there will not be a next year.

Liegghio isn't going anywhere, and neither should he. Looking forward to watching his progression next year.

Yet.  We've parted ways too soon with other kickers who have gone on to solid careers.

Leggs was one of the best punters and KO kickers all season.... and his FG% was good, too. Blaming him is for simple minds.

Next year will be interesting. A lot of our core is getting up there.

We should've been tied ....even with the last td by the argos at the end...IF Leggs had made the convert on our first td earlier......Can't miss those in a Cup game when every point is crucial....Yeah Bede was no better but I don't give a rats ass on how good or bad he is....he's not our kicker......I'm not going to hang the loss on Leggs shoulders..that was a team effort (or lack there of)...I'm sure he'll work on his consistency over the off season....BUT a little competition in tc never hurt anyone,,,in fact that can be very motivating
