CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Bombers to Lemon: "Come play for us. We'll try to make it work financially for both of us ." Lemon to Bombers: Show me the money or I'll go play for the worst team in the CFL. I don't care if I make the playoffs. I don't care if I win a Grey Cup. I just want to get paid!!!" Bombers to Lemon: "See ya." -
Cornelius looks pissed off & fed up.
-
Schoen must be hurt.
-
Do you need some gin?
-
Willie with the block.
-
That's what I was saying last week.
-
What if Eli is worse? As in not ready for Prime Time yet??? It's not like Dobson is lighting it up.
-
Prukop gets to **** up twice & won't get cut. Pigrome fails to get a yard on one attempt & he gets cut. WTH???
-
Where's his scary clown mask??
-
From where? These are all Canadian interior linemen.
-
This is 2016 all over again. We blitz but we get no pressure & our DB's are in chase mode.
-
Our OL is horrid.
-
No, we've been punched in the nose too many times.
-
There's the Dave Ritchie defense we know & love.
-
Wait a minute... Last week people here were saying they had no problem with the defense... Now they do??

It's happened before. More than a few times. Bombers won the GC in 1962 with an 11-5 record. In 63, missed the playoffs with a 7-9 record only to fall to 1-14-1 in 1964 (Yikes!!). The BC Lions won the 1964 Grey Cup with a record of 11-2-3. In 1965, the Lions missed the playoffs with a record of 6-9-1. The Calgary Stampeders won the GC in 1971 with a 9-6-1 record only to miss the playoffs the next season with a 6-10 record. The Toronto Argonauts played in the 71 GC with a 10-4 record. In 1972, they missed the playoffs & finished with a record of 3-11. There've been other collapses but you get the idea. Combination of bad decisions, age bad luck with the bounces going the other way for these teams & injuries to key personnel. Sorta like the way the season is going for us.

What happened to Jim Barker?
-
I'll say this now. We have to replenish the OL. Job 1 this off season.
-
Why are we playing Kramdi?
-
In the words of Joe Zaleski, "I'm optimistic'.
-
We cut Pigrome for a lot less.

Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Are we phasing out the gold pants. We had the best home uniform look in the CFL. -
I just went "s h i t!!!" & stared at the tv screen watching the bedlam at the Ottawa bench after Crum scored in OT. Sorry, not sorry for Bob Dyce. He signed up coaching a bad team & is getting paid for it so if he wins or loses I don't care. He'll get paid no matter what happens. He beat us & he is an enemy coach. At least this time, I didn't pick up a chair to throw through the tv screen like I wanted to in 1982 after our bogus loss to the Eskimos in the Western Final because of a very borderline RTP call before my Mom stopped me. I acted like a raving lunatic that day. I guess in my old age I have mellowed. Still pissed off with what happened but just took it in stride saying to my wife that the Bombers deserved what happened to them. I also said that Ottawa won their Grey Cup so good on them. Then I just got on with the rest of my day trying to forget about it.

Winnipeg Jets 2023 Off-Season Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to TrueBlue4ever's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
The only concern I have with a cashless society is for people with financial difficulties. That would be bankruptcies or consumer debt repayment agreements. They all involve giving up your credit cards if you're a part of these solutions. It used to be that you could go to your bank & buy a smart card where you could refill it through your bank account. Some had limits up to $10,000. You could use these cards like a credit card. Book a flight, rent a car, pay for a hotel on a vacation, shop, use it for filling up your vehicle, etc. However, most banks have discontinued them. Not profitable enough, I guess. At a time, where consumer debt is at an all time high along with high unemployment rates instead of having more of these bank cards, the banks are getting rid of them. How can people with financial difficulties get by without a credit card in a cashless society? My bank used to have them. As of last February they were discontinued. These smart cards filled a role & had a purpose for a lot of people. I can't imagine how anyone can get by with no credit or smart cards. I think that will become a real problem as we move towards a totally cashless society. -

I love that I play bongo drums in your head. You just can't get me out of your mind as you always like to talk about me. I don't care if its cashless at Jets games. It's already cashless at CFL games. I haven't carried any money in my wallet or change in my pocket in years. I use either my credit or debit card. I could use my phone but I choose not to. My choice.
