Yeah, Randy has been a beacon of light throughout this pandemic. More like the light goes right through him because he's a....

No sense being terrified as you can only control what you & your wife do. Life is much too short to be afraid. Just live your life on your own terms.
-
hard to be critical of Hellebuyck as he has carried this team & that defense on his back at times but what a time for a major brain fart on his part.

I'd be happy with a 12-14 game schedule if that is what it takes but just do it. As I said in a post a few weeks ago, having the Grey Cup in Hamilton gives the CFL some kind of leeway with time in that it isn't like Regina where the season has to be wrapped up by the end of November for fear the Polar Vortex strikes. It could probably still be played outside at THF the second Sunday of December. Western playoffs may be dicey but it's not like cold weather out here hasn't happened before.

Backing off a bit...

Usually I don't care about TD celebrations but that was just stupid.
-
I would have supported Justin Goltz more back then but he drove me nuts as a fan with his ridiculous TD celebrations of adjusting his tie & cuff links. We'd be losing by 3 or 4 TDs, he scores on short yardage in garbage time & began doing that ****. Or he started something like 7 career Bomber games, wins one & was pulling that crap on a 3-15 team. All that did was piss the other team off & then they'd beat us down into submission even worse. Seems I remember Goltz doing that even rubbed some of his teammates the wrong way as well but I may be wrong.

I want us to catch & surpass Edmonton for 2nd place in all time Grey Cup wins. I think we're two behind to tie. That will make the Melon Head Rider fans heads explode. Maybe he was.

It still feels like nine teams all on their own. It shows with free agency. Some teams claiming they don't have the money to be big spenders like Winnipeg & calgary while others like the Argos seem to be spending like crazy. Teams have to work together to come up with a business plan during the pandemic & not on their own. The cap should have been slashed by half temporarily. All contracts renegotiated. Any player not willing gets cut. And they can't sign with any other CFL teams. Is it fair? No. Is it right? No. But these are desperate times which calls for desperate measures. The CFLPA can go pound sand. But, nope. And here we are going into Year 2 of the pandemic & the CFL is still clueless.

And adjust their cuff links.

Jeff Reinbold's teams were bad but they never gave up even though they got hammered. Neither did Reinbold. As to what was the worst Blue Bomber team ever??? Well 2013 would get my nod as the worst Blue Bomber team ever & I lived thru the terrible Joe Zaleski years in the late 60's after Bud Grant left. That 2013 Bomber team was indeed special in the wrong way. It may have been among the worst if not the worst team ever fielded in the CFL. It went 3-15 including a 53-17 loss at home to the BC Lions on September 27th. QB Jason Boltus went 8 of 25 for 91 yards that night for no touchdowns & 3 interceptions with a QB Rating of 4.3. His performance was so bad that it became memorable. No one thought a qb could actually play that badly. Yet he did. Head Coach Tim Burke was so in over his head, that he sank farther than the deepest part of the Marianas Trench. Then we had Sleepy Joe Mack as GM. Marcel Desjardins only drafted 6 Blue Bombers in the 2014 Ottawa expansion draft instead of 7. He didn't want any more of our players as he didn't think any of them could make the team. . The 2013 Blue Bomber QB Class: Left to Right: Jason Boltus #16, Max Hall #15 & Justin Goltz #18. No idea who #6 is...

Gawd, I hope someone doesn't start a "Where's Andy Mulamba" thread again.

These guys have had a year to figure this out but it looks like they didn't & learned nothing by missing the season. For Ambrosie to come out in December & lie to us that the season will take place makes me so angry. They had no plan. They sat on their asses & are still wanting government money in the form of a loan.
-
No kidding. Rudderless leadership from you know who & the BOGs!! Scarf Boy was stylin' & profilin' last December pronouncing the league was BACK(!!!!) & even released a schedule. We even believed him. Then we read this.
-
Muamba has always been a selfish "Me First" kinda player. He found a home in Montreal with a great Head Coach in Khari. How much more $$$ is he going to make going somewhere else? But that is how his career has gone. Always been motivated by money & greener pastures down the road. Doesn't want to stick around to do the heavy lifting by helping the Als win a Grey Cup.

Who says ties can't be scarves?

Pedersen confirms Bombers are the CFL's Flagship Franchise
SpeedFlex27 replied to Dr Zaius's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I went to sleep & awoke in the Kelvin Universe. I used to think that & then I found out he is a recovered alcoholic. Wouldn't be surprised that when he was drinking he was on the air half bombed talking **** but was very good at hiding it. Anyone who can go a decade without a drink after going through AA is okay in my books knowing what I know first hand about alcohol & drug addiction. I've hated him but now I think he deserves a second chance. -
That's Desjardins. He somehow fluked out a few good seasons in Ottawa whether by luck, hook or crook but now he's the same guy that ground the Ti Cats into the ground when he was GM there. All we saw with Taylor Loffler in his final season is the name on the back of his jersey as he was constantly beaten over the top by the speedy wideouts we have playing in the CFL. I saw nothing in the short time he played with the Als to change my mind. No thanks. He's done. He can't cover anymore. Also, his style of play leads to nothing but penalties with the recent rule changes.
-
Yes, thank you.

if she was the best then good she should be there.

I have to laugh at the angst here over my comments. Then when the Bombers lose this coming season the posters who always get so upset here will want to string up the officials who botched a call & made us lose. And it'll be Wah, wah, wah, wah. This call sucked,. That call sucked. That wasn't PI. That wasn't a hold. The refs suck... Like it always is here. Some... but not all of you are such hypocrites. Like I said, I don't care if people are upset. I just asked a question.
-
Well, if you were caught off guard then so was CJOB. Give them a chance to change things. You can't expect things to change for them at the drop of a hat. Or a senior lady 75 years old who says our boys played hard so people should cheer for them even harder after a loss.
-
Sure that's part of it but as I said FA players & available coaches still wouldn't come here for more money. Remember that DC from Calgary that dicked the Bombers around wanting more cash & then said no? He ended up going to the Argos as their DC & also was a former HC of the team back in the early 2000's, I beleive. What was his name???
-
Just think back to the dark days of 2013 & 14. No one wanted to coach or play here. The only guy who believed in this organization at the time back in 2015 was Stanley Bryant. He left a perennial championship contender to come play for a loser at the time. I'll always remember that. He, as a player also helped change the culture to what it is today.
