GDT - Calgary Stampeders vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers
SpeedFlex27 replied to voodoochylde's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Now, all he needs is some good injury luck & to build on this game. We also have Keric Wheatfall. Although still injured, he may also be a receiver of the future for us as well. We now have some American depth at receiver. -
Jeff Hamilton said that money was not an issue signing Grant. They had the money, according to Hamilton. They chose to go in another direction.

Kola makes pretty good money starting on the Bombers OL. He doesn't do much but he's well paid doing it. I've no beef with Smith & maybe someday he can be mentioned with Grant but today Grant put on a clinic with the Als ST's. He's had a great season returing KO's & punts. It's very frustrating to think Walters & Osh thought he was washed up. That they spent $$$ on other veterans players who aren't even close to performing at the level Grant is with the Argos.
-
As a fan, I'm angry as hell with the arrogance of the Bombers GM & HC. The decisions they have made has killed this team.
-
Yeah, Walters sign deadwood like Kolankowski & overpay at so many positions then we decide to cheap out at returner. We deserve whatever we get.
-
Watching Janarion Grant as an Argo.... what an absolutely STUPID decision it was to not sign him.

I think Lemon is still practicing with the Als. -

What would the salary cap hit for Diedrick Mills & Peyton Logan with the Stamps be in comparison to Brady Oliveira & Johnny Augustine with the Bombers? It all starts with the OL & how badly they have played this season. Osh continues to play Kolankowski. Dobson has struggled. -
Big difference. Matt's throwing shoulder was finished. He couldn't throw the ball anymore. Zach can still get it done. Is he playing well? No. Is that sad sack OL playing well? Guys are starting playing like crap. Our 3 interior linemen are dreadful. I don't put the offensive struggles on Zach. I put it on the terrible play of our OL.

Kelly took to social media continuing to be a dickhead after his suspension complaining about his salary when WNBA's Caitlin Clark's salary of half a million dollars this season was revealed. There wasn't a lot of remorse for what he did. The guy deserves everything he gets. -

No American back makes the kind of money Brady makes. Stanbeck in BC, Armstead in Montreal, Dedrick Mills & Peyton Logan in Calgary, Ka'Deem Carey in Toronto all make less than Brady.... much less. When you go Canadian at the RB position, it's more expensive. than going American. Sorry to say but he'd be the first guy I'd look at replacing if I was GM. And have discussions with Osh about flipping the position. The backup position with Augustine is also more expensive. It goes hand in hand. -

Without a decent Offensive Line, no qb will flourish. I don't care who is playing. Both Walters & Osh have allowed the OL to regress. This problem is on them. -

If I was GM, I'd have let Brady walk & sign two capable American backs. One as a starter & another as a backup. The money saved may have given us a little flexibility on the salary cap. We may have been able to sign a FA Offensive or Defensive Lineman. -

How many games can we win playing the style of football we did against Ottawa? Maybe another game or two. -
So, I did. I'd forgotten. My bad. Thanks. Like I said, I'll stick with Brady this week.
-
They say that BLM is on pace to throw 40 td's & pass for over 6,000 yards. Yet, his team may not win 3 games. So, the question must be asked, Why is Milanovich starting a 36 year old QB over 25 year old in Taylor Powell? The guy showed promise last season but needs to play in order to develop. Playing Mitchell putting up big stats passing while the team continually loses makes no sense. Taylor Powell should be the starter now that the Ti Cats are 0-5.

That never would have worked. Management & coaches felt Brown wasn't ready to take over from Collaros. From what I've seen this season from him they weren't wrong. Why would O'Shea give up on a proven veteran like Collaros for an unproven Dru Brown with just 6 starts to his credit? That was never going to be in the plans except for a few posters here. The way our offense is playing, Brown would have been no more successful than Collaros. -
I had picked Streveler last week yet I was not credited with his TD. I believe that I should be at 3 strikes. Taking Brady Oliveira this week. .

This. We saw in last night's game on short yardage the Hamilton FB go behind Center in shotgun while Mitchell lined up as a receiver. Mitchell just stood there doing nothing. he wanted no part of the play. So then, why bother? Mitchell isn't much of a receiver. He won't block or catch the ball lest he injures himself. So, he's a useless decoy. Like Mitchell, moving Zach over to another position just takes him out of his comfort zone & his concern about getting injured. -

They weren't going to keep Dru Brown as they can't have two qbs taking over a third of the salary cap. The plan all along was to sign Streveler & ditch Brown. Besides, Brown wanted to leave anyway. While he looks better than Dustin Crum handling the Ottawa offense, I have my doubts Brown is ready to be a starting qb in the CFL. He seems to be just above average at the control of the RedBlacks, he certainly doen't look like the Next Big thing. Brown looks slow getting rid of the football. Certainly not very athletic. He could have benefitted from staying another 2 years as a Bomber under Zach. -

Does Kate Bierness even work anymore? She can stay home. They give LaPo a chair off camera below the analysts desk. The producers have no idea what to do with him.

There were more fans than usual. I figured 22,000. After yesterday's **** 4th quarter ending for the Stamps, I'm sure they'll be back again to 12-14,000 next home game.

Yes, there are backs on the seats. If the capacity is 35,000 then nearly 30,000 seats have backs. The attendance issues go a lot further back than just backs on the seats. Stadium sucks. Ownership refuses to engage in trying to get a new stadium built. Absentee owner & Swiss citizen Murray Edwards doesn't care about the team. Well, it can't be ignored. You have a percentage of the population who are far right & don't trust government. To them, the vaccine mandates including the ones the CFL imposed on their teams affected a lot of fans. Most have come back but a significant amount still refuse to ever come back.
