Yeah, I recall saying at the beginning of Jan that a Strev/Schoen/American RB combo would be the ideal result out of this

The way things are shaping up, I could see Calgary and BC going after Schoen too. Still think he’s back here though.

I think you’d have to have a cap on the marquis player too, I meant more like MLSE could outbid anyone else for a single player if cap wasn’t an issue.

Sounds kind of like when Calgary had Flutie on a Personal Services contract. I like it in theory, but it feels like it would help the Argos or deep pocketed teams the most.

Nah, too many good young players on D, and Thorpe, as much of a knob as he comes across as, always fields a competitive group. Their O could be pretty crappy without Mack though.

Maybe he sits on the 6 game all year like Miller and doesn’t count towards the cap? Hopefully? Who am I kidding, he’s starting.

Those 90-94 jerseys are the all time best imo. My holy grail is a 92 one with the Canada 125 patch.

I read that in all caps. Yeah I’ll admit I thought he was awful in spot duty. I think he’s developed into a quality starter in the right group.

I’d be legit surprised if Schoen didn’t re-sign.

Agree. A better reload could have been done in-season over the last 2 years. If they want to keep the run going they kind of need to make more wholesale changes now than would have been necessary. As a guy who does physical work and turned 36 last year, I really didn’t like seeing the whole core of the team hitting their mid-30s at once.

I don’t want to be doom and gloom but maybe this is actually a mini-rebuild with 2025 in mind. We’ll see after FA but it’s starting to feel that way for me. Different note, I can honestly say they lost something intangible when Andrew Harris left. Like it or not, the guys won championships at every sport and every level he’s played. He brought something extra that just can’t be replicated.

Kongbo could surprise with consistency after a full offseason of training to be a strictly CFL player. He’s one of those tweener types that was probably asked to put on weight for the time he spent in the NFL.

Sort of. We had some bad turnovers, and some lucky/great plays by the DBs but I feel like Ticats were fortunate to not be shitkicked like 2019. If Evans hadn’t got hurt I don’t think Hamilton even makes that game close. Masoli had the Bombers number over the years. Also, after the second pick Zach actually caught fire and played really well the rest of that game, something that didn’t happen at all in the 2 losses.

If they do that, we should sign Oullette

By far the best and most comfortable pair of pants I’ve ever owned. Fwiw I also have a pink and black pair that were gifted to me and my daughter (with matching Hart Foundation shirts) when she was a baby.

I’m always on the hunt to replace my authentic Harv-Al #21 James Murphy jersey that I’d found at a Value Village ages ago. It was ruined by a mouse infestation in a garage at an old place I lived. Other than that, last time I bought a brand new jersey the Bombers lost a playoff game, so it ain’t happening. I’m superstitious as all ****. I’ll wear my 50’s retro Stegall for the regular season games, or other old ones that’s it. Playoffs and GC it’s Bomber t-shirts and hats. My best merch isn’t even Bomber licensed but I got a pair of blue and gold 90’s style Zubaz pants.

Thanks for the explanation, for real. You clearly have an above average knowledge of OL and DL play.

I guess the second one wasn’t quite as bad. Reynolds dropped that ball sure, but going for it at that point was situationally insane.

What a boneheaded couple of decisions from Dan Campbell. If you’re up by 14 on the road in the playoffs, you take the bloody points to make it a 3 score game, and to make the same call again the next quarter… Campbell turned that franchise around, but my goodness. That was one of the dumbest hours I’ve seen anyone have in this sport. I feel terrible for the Detroit fans, their own coach just cost them a super bowl berth. It’s the negative image of 2016 MOS attempting that 78 yard field goal or whatever it was instead of going for it on 3rd and 3.

God forbid but if Wade ever retired from the Bombers I think he’d make a great commissioner.

An overpaid guard who can only run block on a team that doesn’t run the ball lol

The pattern of letting DT’s walk I guess. I wouldn’t mind if he was back or anything.

Top 3 surprises if brought back. 1. Kolo 2. Walker 3. Houston Most important FA besides Dalton/Brady, to me it’s Jeffcoat. At full health he’s even more dominant than Willie. Even with the 10-15 games we get out of him now, it’s a different D when he’s on the field.

Carey’s gonna give you 6 games at MOP level and either sit/play banged up for the other 12. As part of a RB committee I think he’d do well here, but not a guy I’d break the bank for

You can’t pitch to Johnny! I’M Johnny!
