  1. After seeing the roster, I like the whole lineup besides the center. Hey diddle diddle Kolo’s too little And the twist confuses him too Mike O’Shea smirked Cause the punter was fun What will become of the Blue?
  2. I like Bonds, I think he’s gonna be a good-great DB. Our secondary and DL will be the least of our worries, especially once guys come off the 6 game.
  3. At the very beginning of his career maybe. He had a hell of a motor in 2012
  4. I love watching all-22 film with NFL+, I’ve always wished the CFL had a similar service. It’s so hard to watch anything but the line (in slow motion, zoomed) on TV. Even then you’re assuming things And at least one bad drop
  5. I don’t mind him at dime for now. Honestly I’d like to see one of the new DBs eventually take over Holm’s spot and Holm at safety. I like Holm, but to me he’s the perfect FS for todays game, I legit think he could be best in the league. I like Jake Kelly for S too, but Holm is absolutely perfect for it imo 100%. I’ll never forget the time Reggie Hunt set the all time record for tackles in a game, because we were throwing to Roberts and Sellers all day long.
  6. I’ve seen it twice in my lifetime too. The 1995 Bombers fell off a cliff hard after 15ish or so winning seasons. They’d kept Matt Dunnigan instead of Danny Mac 2 years prior, but Dunnigan bolted for a new American team, and the Cal Murphy Bombers never recovered. They had a losing record and a one and done playoff appearance. The next year they brought in an aging Kent Austin to try and right the ship but it was too late, a 68-7 playoff loss cost Cal Murphy his job. The second time was in 2004, same story as now. Aging former MOP QB, most of the impact players on the team over 30. Only difference is back then we kept getting outbid for our own FAs/our guys coming back from the NFL. We wouldn’t have retained Schoen or Brady (or anybody) in those years. They couldn’t/didn’t want to pay Geroy Simon and Arland Bruce coming back from the NFL and let Brian Clark go to the stamps, among other poor outcomes. Had some younger talent in TC but Ritchie hated rookies, which was his downfall. He kept guys like Wickman, McGriggs, Elowonibi way too long. At least we got a couple cups out of this run before the leadership decided this place is Brigadoon in the off-season.
  7. Idk. I always thought he was kind of milquetoast, then I’ve heard him in more informal interviews/stories from others. Lapo’s f’n hilarious. Even last week on CJOB “Well, Derek Taylor’s taking about hookers on the golf course”
  8. Incompleterson transcended. My Dad even called him that.
  9. Yeah there was that whole thing. MOS would always seem more pissed on the radio after losing to Calgary too, but maybe just because they were the ones we could never get past at the time. Idk, I just realized we haven’t lost a meaningful game to them in like 5 years, pretty awsome actually. Nah, he’s playing well but he still looks like Fat Mac from Sunny. Bombers are 0-2, I need to at least be able to mock Calgary’s rotund quarterback tandem.
  10. Hey now, show some respect. That man’s a great snowboarder Slightly off topic but from their body language and brief postgame interactions, I don’t think MOS and the Dickinson brothers like each other all that much. Maybe if we get shitpumped by the Stamps, MOS will make some of the changes we need?
  11. Speaking of John Hodge, his brother Tim is cooler. I wish they’d reversed their roles after the podcast ended
  12. Lord Keric is superior for sure. It’s clever without being mean. QB_Coach@greenbaypackers.com?!
  13. I thought I had a winner with McCheese last year
  14. Pepper_Brooks = Pepperidge Farms = Salt N Peppa = Maybe Ed Tait = Maybe Tom Clements
  15. Actually, that’s not a bad guess Salt N Peppa had a writers vocabulary.
  16. x2. I think Lord Keric is gonna be a forum favourite. I’m intrigued to see Adams and Woods on the field at the same time too.
  17. 5 bucks says it’s Ed Tait. Or Pepper Brooks
  18. The year that gave hope to every crappy CFL season forevermore https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Montreal_Alouettes_season In the last 20 years, this ^ is the closest feeling team I can remember to this years Bombers. Again, I want to be wrong, big time.
  19. The Extra Point, forum offshoot of the official Bomber site. It’s like here with more generic homers, far less grammar and writing skill.
  20. Oh god not this again. Just saying, some people can watch and follow football obsessively for the better part of their lives and form a decently educated opinion on the subject in question.. A good bunch of us were around the game at an above rudimentary level, or were taught the game by people who were. The point that “we’re just fans” has been made. Every time I read it on here again, I’m writing another poem about Kolo.
  21. Tbf, they’d use the DA rule at least.. Personally, I know damn well I don’t know the X’s and O’s like a pro coach, but at times this year and last, I feel like I ( or Mike, or Booch or yourself for that matter) could put just the gameday roster together as well or better than our staff, straight up. I’ve always felt it’s not a glass half empty/half full argument so to speak. Moreso, what better place than a fan forum to theorize about how to keep water up to the brim? That’s what I think these guys have been getting at on here, and somewhat misunderstood as “negative”. There’s more nuance to it than that.
  22. Lol, the better part of the forum has pretty much the same ideas. This was a Booch and Mike thing like 2 years ago. The constant whining about 2 out of the 10 guys who share the same opinions is more repetitive than the points you’re complaining about.
