Can you also let us know what MOS wants for dinner? I'm looking for new recipes.

I think another important question that had yet to be asked is. Does it matter?

Speaking of DL...and FA...there's a name out there that I would love as a rotational player. Mr.Lemon could be someone that helps out the Jeff's. Obviously the price has to be right. But Lemon has shown with the right guys around him, he can still get at the qb.

Wow...I'm blown away! Happy he's back but I just don't see the fit. Are the Bombers going to be trading someone? You hate to say you have too much talent in one spot...buuut...

I've heard it's the League rather then the players, that doesn't want them published because it will make the CFL look less than stellar compared to other leagues.

I believe he's been in the NFL already. I'm not sure that window is still open for him.

oh IC. That's fair. and hand surgery. Saw him at my sons Flag football game and he had a cast on the right hand. Walters (who was also there) said it was just a small surgery on his hand.

The last COUPLE of years? He's one year out from being the MODP! Lol. His play last year wasn't great, I agree and I could understand thinking he's trending that way. But pretending he's been a problem for years is flat out false. Who is coming off major surgery? And Jeffcoat is injury prone sure...but other than that...?

I'm not sure Collaros could have gotten more. Remember he is the highest paid player. I suppose he could have gotten more, bit he'd be playing with 4 Oline and me as his rb. Lol. To add to the age discussion. Being a pro at 30yrs old doesn't appear to be the issue it used to be. Players in basically every sport are seeing longer careers (assuming skill is there) than they did 10-20 years ago.

Again, the comment where he really went off was a response...he didn't initiate anything. He did not come on here and immediately start going off on how much better the argos were etc etc. If he had, I'd be all over bashing. But that's not what happened, like I said, he took a lot of comments in stride...better than I would have had the roles been reversed.

AFTER people were taunting him....yes he stood up for his beliefs.

.

Bluto did not come on here and start insulting the Bombers. He took a lot of flack in stride imo. Like I said earlier everyone has a point where they're going to push back and after several posts about his team only fluking out a win and how they have mostly garbage players on their team and they shouldn't hope to even be relevant this year he pushed back with some aggression. If fans want to flame away, fine...but don't get your (not you specifically) panties in a bunch when someone pushes back. And fans showing some humility after a loss isn't expecting too much imo. It's not the flaunting of the team that getting to be excessive to me...it's the attitude that no other team could possibly be making any kind of good move, or could even be good enough to beat the bombers...even though they just did. The best team in the CFL hoisted the Grey Cup...that's just how it goes. The Bombers did not. If that makes you so upset that you can't possibly have a decent discussion about it, you're approaching crider fandom imo.

I suppose there is an argument that it wasn't really a fluke. When a pattern emerges (Poor offensive showing in Grey cups) is it still a fluke? We could probably discuss this all day. All that matters is the team that went 15-3 will have another shot at shutting the doubters up in 4 short (please be short) months!!

I just don't see how that would work. It's time for other players to get an opportunity. Bailey was a very solid piece to the last 3 year run. But he isn't irreplaceable.

A part of the FIFO culture is being accountable. No excuses. No ifs ands or buts. I have a hard time believing that calling a loss a fluke or belittling the opponent would fit in the with FIFO stuff. That's super fandom ****, and while I certainly partake from time to time, it's not something I have ever seen from someone in the locker room. To clarify I'm not equating praise for our team as belittlement of others.

I'd say there's a good chance

Take a look at the entire discussion. He didn't start really sticking up for his squad until AFTER posters were going on and on about it being a fluke and how much more superior the losing team was. Eventually people are going to push back. The Bombers were far and away the better team during the regular season. But this idea that they were some how the better team in the GC and lost doesn't sit with me. Better teams don't lose, the circumstance rarely matters. It certainly didn't in the GC. Bombers shat the bed Argos out played them and the results showed. Did I miss something? Lol. I'm assuming you missed his posts about how they're still going to be a top 2 team? I'm not trying to play hero, but your recollection of what he posted is bizarrely off.

He would certainly put a lot of pressure on my "2021 defence was once in a life time" comment.

1st rounder for sure....but starting OL...that's a tough one for me lol. Maybe Gray...lol

They kinda have with Wilson getting better. But I know, the LB depth and DL depth are a concern for me right now.

I'm torn honestly. That 3rd down QB isn't really a development position for the Bombers it seems. We have the next guy in Brown (ideally). We need someone who is good at the sneak...Pipkin is a big body with experience. I don't want him starting. But I don't really want a young guy to have to learn sneaking on the fly either...

Honestly, I wouldn't be opposed to them bringing in Pipkin for that 3rd down QB.

I think it's wishful thinking the Bombers are even interested in Bailey. There just isn't the room for him.

Which is why I said, you basically said it. I know you didn't say those exact things. But you'd be dishonest to say you weren't using that number as a slight on him.
