Yeah, we let guys like Lawler & Grant go & keep that useless Thomas in the lineup.

It's a dumb thing as is a 150 people on every CFL team's bench.

No idea why the East Division is like that.

Yep, exactly.

It's galling when we see how Walters let Janarion Grant & Kenny Lawler leave. Two veterans who are still impact players in this league. We refuse to pay & yet we have no problem paying Thomas big bucks to do nothing as he's a 200 year veteran

I notice how you chose to clip off the first part of my sentence which read, "It didn't have to be that way but suddenly this past off season, Walters is a penny pinching GM like former Maple Leaf owner Harold Ballard was."

Osh keeps playing Jake & the defensive performances of others slid when Thomas is on the field. We need some true DE's to spell Vaughters & Jefferson & some real push from the middle to collapse the opposition pocket & create problems. Jake is so out of his league, it is hilarious but as fans watching, it's truly not. I wouldn't be blaming those 2 for subpar performances. I'd blame our DC & HC.

They never challenged the field vertically at all last night. Even when it was 37-9 Stamps, we still were dinkng & dunking. I mean, the Stamps secondary is improvd from last year from the looks of things but they're not THAT GOOD. I think Zach's longest throw was 22 yards. That shows you just how bad our 9th ranked receiving corps are. Wheatfall is our lone deep threat & he was invisible. It didn't have to be that way but suddenly this past off season, Walters is a penny pinching GM like former Maple Leaf owner Harold Ballard was. We're hosting the GC ffs, why would they pick this year for financial restraint? The fans have supported this team now for 4 years giving the Bombers profits like they have never seen before. They deserve a lot better & didn't get it this past off season.

Last seen on FBI: Most Wanted. I wonder if his cancer was the reason he left? Very sad. RIP.

Well, this is what happens when you're the most successful franchise in the CFL but for some reason don't want to spend to th cap limit & blame the $400,000 shortfall on the CFLPA. The Bombers looked awful last night. I haven't seen such a putrid performance since the mid teens. Osh just seems in a cloud half the time. He refuses to use the new rules for Nationalized Americans to Canadians as he doesn't want to take the time to figure out the reps. He's designated the worst starting Canadian as our starting NG in a 3 man front or at RDT in a four man. Jake gets stood up, pushed back, turned inside & outside, can't see the play coming in his stance as he actually does hold his head up as it flops down. Otherwise he'd see the manufacturers tags in his chest plate of his shoulder pads. He still can't see. No moves just a straight bull rush. Yet, he starts at the expense of younger & more effective players. What's scary is Osh has some kind of warped coaches code that says he'll start him as long as he wants to play. So then, in 2036 at age 48, in he goes as the starter on his twinkletoes. Bridges was having trouble covering last night at his corner spot. If anyone says we don't miss Tyrell Ford at corner then they're lying. Two huge coverage busts in the secondary. Last week we had one as well but we got away with it. This time we paid dearly. That has to be cleaned up. But how do you clean up the secondary when the DL is a clusterfuck with Thomas in there? I was concerned letting Lawler go & keeping Schoen who really is still recovering from a bad knee injury. IF Schoen doesn't last the season, we're in huge trouble. We play Stearns but I don't get the reasoning as he really is a "nothing" receiver. Right now, we're the ninth best receiving corps in the CFL. Cl;ercius is allowed to shine but he's a posession receiver. We have one deep threat in Keric Wheatfall. Demski is still capable of making big plays but he isn't the same receiver he was 2-3 years ago. I was also concerned that Osh would do stupid Osh things with Streveler. And sure enough he never let me down. Streveler shows he can actually play qb in the CFL & when we're down in the 4th quarter & the game was out of reach last night, does he play Strev to give the guy some reps? Nope. Osh keeps Zach in the game. No doubt, Osh will say, "I never took Zach out as he gave us the best chance to win". Our head coach is dumber than a sack of jackhammers.

Jake rolled into Adams injuring him. That was his tackle.

We went withe the guy coming off of complete knee reconstruction.

The decision to pay Schoen who can't stay in the line up & not Lawler is going to cost us more than money

Is Schoen injured again?

We look like a team that just doesn't care one way or the other.

Nope, that's Jake's to play as much as he wants as it's for him to go out on hi sown terms.

I don't think there'll be more than 18,000 there. Plus thunder clouds are gathering on the horizon as I type this. It's also Sneak A Peek Night at the Stampede which officially starts tomorrow morning with the Stampede Parade. Admission tonite into the Stampede is half price. This was the evening we used to took our kids to the Stampede when they were little to save money. So, the Stamps decided to compete with that. If I had a family, I know where I'd be.

This off season was like buying a loaf of stale bread. The excuse to not spend money in free agency & blaming the CFLPA looks petty & stupid. They have to be calld out for that.

If sask isn't playing then I'll go Rankin in Edmonton.

No, watching the game at home. I have mobility issues. I can go to games at PAS but I stopped going to Stamps games 3 or 4 years ago. Too hard to get around. Steep stairs with no handrails for balance & safety. I have to stay in my seat at halftime as it's too much of hassle to get to the lower concourse where the concessions & bathrooms are. Too far to walk with a cane where we used to park our car. Just a ******* old barn that should be torn down. Eisenhower was President & Diefenbaker was PM when that place was built. In Winnipeg, we have two elevators, upper & lower concourses & the grandstands don't have 60 rows to climb.

Don't ever question The Trinity. They walk on water. They are beyond reproach. I see no difference between losing three straight Grey Cups as compared to 3 straight Western Finals. Losing is still losing.

Whoops! Never saw this until now. Don't know how I missed it. My pick Tommy Stevens. Mods, please remove my post asking where Lock Of The Week 5 is. Thank you....

I wish Bob all the best. All these great sports broadcasters & writers are leaving us (retiring or dying) with really no one coming up behind. It's sad. We really should... PAY THE MAN!!! We'll never find his goal scoring anywhere now.

Defensively, you still have to pressure the qb to make bad decisions & throws. You don't just give up & say, he's too fast for us getting the ball off so why bother? Really, who is truly fast? Harris, Adams, Kelly, Zach, Rourke, Brown (when he plays), Davis Alexander can zing it. Of those, I'd think there's only 3 guys you can truly say have quick releases. But they still get hurried, hit & sacked.

Kelly got lucky. Maybe we would have won if Liegghio had made that field goal but it was blocked. As they say in baseball, the ball was low & a little outside. It was going wide before it was blocked. Our kicker looked absolutely spooked as he lined up to kick. Lol. I get it but all 3 losses pissed me off.
