  1. Regarding Harris and the Friesen article... I look at it like this: Imagine knowing you have a big meeting coming up and you show up unprepared. Now, thankfully those in your area showed up and were more than capable of handling the slack you left - how do you think your bosses are going to think/feel, especially when it comes to performance review time? Bottom line: Harris took his job for granted, and someone (or a duo) came in and filled in admirably, and the bosses noted. I can't blame Bomber management one bit, and I think they were fully justified in their decision making - and considering how the organization stuck their neck out for Harris after his positive drug test (trace or more, you're still busted), he really didn't reward their faith by being out of shape, and I totally get why O'Shea would be miffed.
  2. Bingo! 35 year old running backs, local or not, is not something you go over budget for, especially when they're showing signs of not being able to stay on the field anymore. Doesn't mean there isn't respect or fond memories of the last number of seasons, but everyone has a shelf life regardless of their resume.
  3. By a combined score of 747-4.
  4. Edmonton signs Adarius Bowman and Manny Arceneaux. Welcome to 2015 Chris Jones....
  5. Love Collaros adding in the nWo gif. We really are turning into the nWo at this point 🤣🤣
  6. I like Lucky, but for him to be paid as the league's highest paid receiver is laughable. Hopefully it doesn't skew the market too much.
  7. Reading tomorrow's forecast seems like a beautiful day to run for 200-250 yards. LFG boys!!!
  8. Very nice tribute video on Twitter put out by the club. Might get a lump in your throat.
  9. I actually had this thought when I made my initial comment....but thought I'd keep that horrible thought to myself lol.
  10. I guess there's only one thing left to do...Go back to back for Bob!
  11. Some random thoughts. Nothing terribly in depth as admittedly I was socializing with friends with the game on in the background... - Another red zone pick by Zach. Let's cut this crap out please, even if we are still winning. - Pat Neufeld at right guard is good. Pat Neufeld at right tackle is not. - That was the best Oliveira has looked all year. Good for him. Not sure what Andrew Harris' plans are going forward but hopefully there's a smooth transition there whenever Harris' time with us is done. - Up and down night kicking. Punts and kicks out of bounds...Jesus....On the other hand, 4/5 on field goals. That said I'd still be nervous as hell if we're in a 3 point game or less during the West Final or Grey Cup - Too many instances of bumper cars instead of fundamental tacking by our defence last night. - Elks play calling, offensive scheme and decision making in general....questionable at best. - Not a sexy win. But a win. 9-1 and onto the Lions....let's wrap up the West!
  12. Wish Cody and Duke the best of luck on those deep passes while Jefferson and Jeffcoat cave in their offensive tackles in the west final....
  13. Anyone know if NN is still alive and kicking? Hope he's well.
  14. Some random thoughts in no particular order: - This team reminds me of a gritty boxer. No matter what, you best be prepared to fight - and if not you're going to have a long night. - While they do it in totally different ways, I don't know that we've had a Bomber team this dominant since 2001. - Grant or Nelson returning kicks makes no difference when the punt and kick coverage is as bad as it is. - Whether it's on the offence or defence, there doesn't seem to be a player we need to hide or protect because of any sort of weakness. - Few things make me happier than watching our ends cave in offensive tackles game in and game out. - Hell of a game by Woli and Stove. Hope both are good next week. - Mike O'Shea appreciation comment: Very rarely is this team not ready to play. Coming back from a bye at 6-1, many teams would have been flat. We weren't. - Golf clap for the hogs. Solid game. - Onto Edmonton. Best of luck to them....they'll need it.
  15. Didn't good ol Dave the Bear say something to that effect when we were on our run in the early 2000's?
  16. Thanks Lyle. That, then bringing in his good buddy Mike Kelly.
  17. Guilty as charged.
  18. Anyone afraid of any other team this year?? Curious how Adams continues to develop under Khari Jones, but with them on a bye and the other 7 teams we've seen so far, to quote the late Don Matthews, "if they play their best and we play our best, I like our chances.", and I don't care who it is.
  19. Draw plays on 2nd down passing situations, shotgun a beer.
  20. I hear what you're saying for sure. That said, coming off of 97/98 and Kerwin Bell unsurprisingly being a bust (I was never impressed with his work in Toronto) in 99 onward, and the financial state of the team I don't think it's a stretch to say Khari Jones saved the Blue Bombers.
  21. Vintage Lapo running a drive killing draw play on second and medium.
  22. From Farhan Lalji on Twitter... Shocked to hear that Adam Bighill’s contract for 2021 is 115k (down from 260k). I know he has strong business interests in Winnipeg, but is speaks volumes for the atmosphere Mike O’Shea has created with #Bombers that a player would take that much less to stay there. @CFLonTSN 1/2 ...and if there is an off-season GM of the year award, it goes to Kyle Walters. @andrewharris33, @Bighill44, @Stmn_Willie_Bmn, @Demski9, @ZCollaros7, Bryant, Hardrick, Gray, Antigha, Jeffcoat, Thomas, Maston all back under manageable deals. Most of the heavy lifting already done!
  23. Under 500K for a guy that was easily a top 2 QB, and most outstanding player nominee before things fell off the rails in Hamilton....SOLD. Easily. Given our offensive line, I have no problem with this contract, even if it means Nichols is gone (which clearly it does)
  24. Mise well go get another ship I guess...
