That's fair. The "West Side Sucks" thing is just a jab. Though I still think that as a whole there are cultural differences (less so in the new stadium) between the two sides and it becomes a matter of preference. The move to the West side was mostly predicated on the lack of sun and a new son that we could eventually bring to the game. But he's only 15 months old. He has a ways to go before we bring him there, I think...

Oof. Struck a nerve did I? Guess years of chanting will wear on a guy. In all seriousness though, I was turned off at the amount of negativity and whining in our section last year. You have a bunch of jaded long-time fans that for whatever reason still think the players can see the field like a game of Madden. That is not the kind of atmosphere that I find enjoyable. As much as I respect an educated fan, leave the negativity at home please!

Congrats Mike! A coach/man we can be proud of. Hopefully one day he'll be worthy of being inducted as a coach too!

There's been moments where they've mistakenly had the music a little too loud for the situation that has been unpleasant. But overall I'd say no. On a somewhat related note: we had season tickets on the west side last year for the first time in my 12 years of season tickets. It does, indeed, suck. And we'll be moving back. Luckily we got the exact same seats on the east side!

I'm starting to think we will be rotating our Canadians into our linebacking core more often this year. Signing Nevis gives us a run stopping force in the middle of our d-line, and while I expect to see Thomas rotating in quite a bit, I think our base package will have another American DT beside him. Losing Burnett and our roster clearly points to using more Canadians at linebacker. All that said, we always knew we would be rotating our NIs around on defense.

I'm just wondering if the CFL can handle its ADD enough to be able to keep the same rules for 2 consecutive years.

If there were more fancy stats in football, Randle would definitely be in the conversation. Edit: And Leggett would be a no brainer.
-
I think a lot of people would argue Leggett should be on here.
-
I think Coombs understands his versatility and how that can lead to being on the field quite a bit. If he ends up being the best NI receiver on our roster, then that's his starting position, backing up at RB for Harris. He's also a Winnipeg boy, which may or may not make being here a plus for him.
-
He would be a pretty versatile player for us given we start a Canadian RB. It's a lot easier to fit good Canadians on a roster than the international players
-
Hope we can sign Darvin Adams but if we can't then try for Burnham Ellingson or Jackson. Elimimian would also be a no brainer if he hit the market

After one of the most exciting grey cups in recent memory, the excitement looks to continue this offseason. It should be very interesting to see how the Bombers look to improve and how the rest of the league shapes up.
-
Weird that we're lining McDuffie up at receiver when he's our primary returner with Fogg out.

Darvin adams getting healthy, who comes out?
BBlink replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Honestly Burnett has really come along as he's had more time starting at his position. I also think Wild is a step above, but Burnett has been great in his own way. Starting to make some impact plays out there. -

All of Willy time was garbage time lol. -

I seem to recall a couple of bad throws where he should have played better DB on the play that established this reputation. Not sure about dogging it though. -

There's a lot of you around here. Don't know why Adams gets singled out. I would have said the same thing about Denmark in past years. Big games followed by nothing. -

Makes sense from a pure productivity standpoint to put Adams in for Gurley. With Gurley you're hoping that he just needs a couple games to get going and that he'll start making a big impact. With Adams you're looking at a guy who put up 500+ yards before he went out and looked to be one of our most dangerous receivers. There is a huge immediate benefit to that switch. I don't think any other change would guarantee as much benefit. -
Montreal releases Duron Carter and Stafford
BBlink replied to blitzmore's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I like how everyone was thinking to themselves how awesome it would be to have Duron Carter if he wasn't such a wildcard in the locker room. -

Good thing it's against Calgary or I'd be upset with this. Gotta get that 1st or 2nd overall! -
Good to see McDuffie getting some love now. But if he isn't 100 percent then maybe it's him who sits. Hard decision to make.
-
It's definitely both...the o-line and QB. Do people here think Willy would have rattled off this many wins with the same O-line? I really doubt it. Willy is more of a stats guy than a winning QB. 11/12 for 50 yards. And we're down by 14 already. Impressive.

Hey at least Brazzel did something. He was pretty good at riding Milt's coat-tails -
Oh maybe it was the week before. My bad.

Still...why list him as KR and PR. Last week it was Heath.
