HUH? Have you not seen the FA lists of every single team this year? Every team has a huge opportunity to improve their talent at basically every position.
-
I forgot that it matters who is playing. You're right, they actually mark it down on the GC. 2017 Grey cup champions - TORONTO ARGOS *but they played against a far superior team who choked* that's what's marked down in the record books!! lol.

That's a fantastic arm chair QB way of looking at things. Both short sighted and ignorant. The "excuses" balance out over time. Wouldas/couldas/shouldas too. Completely irrelevant to both sides of the argument. You are right that most fans only want wins, playoff or otherwise. Which this regime has given them. More than most other regimes in recent memory. The other, I'd argue, almost more important aspect is the culture. I have no direct insight, but the rumors aren't a secret that WPG was at one time a last resort option for both players and coaches. Our past shows just how true those rumors could be. Now all reports show this has completely flipped. How many times during previous regimes did we hear about how great of a team/coaching staff/culture etc etc is here. I honestly can't recall hearing that as often as I have in the past two years. It's constantly talked about. That WILL and HAS brought players in. Players who have helped get the team to where it is. Not winning the cup...which is one game...has as much to do with getting lucky as it does with being talented enough. Ask CGY. If it's used as the only measuring stick when looking at making serious changes, you will eventually end up with the mess the bombers are currently just getting out of. So sure, be smug and arrogant while you talk about how most fans/this regime only want one playoff win or regular season wins. It still won't change the facts, this team is one of the most successful in the CFL in damn near every category...I know, I know, except the only one that matters. But to be consistent, takes consistency. And with consistency both playoff and regular season wins will come.

‘I SHOULDN’T BE HERE: THE ANDREW HARRIS STORY’
Bigblue204 replied to Fatty Liver's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Nice, I was bummed out when I missed it on Monday night...damn NFL game! -
Keep in mind, that Stamps D was missing 4 starters. Including their MVP in Johnson. Take away Bighill, and 3 other starters on the Bombers D and see how well they perform.
-
I'd actually say no to medlock. I doubt he wants to take a cut, and honestly he is just too expensive. You don't need to pay a kicker that much. Hell, maybe Lankford trys out next year as a kicker lololololol
-
No chance Wolitarsky is still the Z rec next year. He is just too good. And to be fair, Bauming is actually fairly well connected to the team. I tend to believe him.
-
If they replace Dressler, which I don't think they will. I'd like it to be someone who has some upside. Not another aging vet the team can't rely on.
-
Randle can stay as far as I'm concerned. Got beat a few times, but otherwise was solid. His numbers show that as well. Fogg, he can not be a starter day 1 next year. Sure he makes the odd play, but I think that has more to do with just the amount of plays that are thrown his way. He gets picked on a lot, and occasionally makes a play. Need a star import WR. Someone who has game breaking ability. Any one of the names mentioned above I'd be happy with...with the exception of Matthews. Solid WR don't get me wrong, but just a personal preference to have more speed.

100% yes. They didn't dominate like they did in SSK. But they gave him time. There were multiple plays where I counted how many seconds he had before the pressure got to him, or before he rolled out. 4-5 seconds on each. I thought maybe the Oline wasn't performing...but they were. Nichols would look at his 1st read, panic and leave the pocket. I can only recall 1 play where he stepped up in the pocket when pressure was getting to him to deliver a pass. Otherwise he would throw it away or throw a bad pass into the ground. I have other issues with the way the Offence played, I don't put everything on Nichols...like why the **** have Nelson in the lineup and not design something specifically for him? He made plays in Edmonton, was returning the ball well enough. But 1 touch on a broken play all game long? And the constant runs up the middle when it wasn't working. But in the end, Nichols didn't do enough to get it done. I haven't put any blame on him in the past 3 play off games. This one, certainly there's no doubt he didn't do what he is paid to do. It's unfortunate, because I believe him when he says he loves this team/city, but I honestly believe it's time to start looking beyond Nichols.

I said after the game. Streveler will finish 2019 as the bombers Starter. I dont think he will be named starter out of TC, but probably 5 or 6 games into the season. Nichols has done admirable with his time here. And I thank him for helping turn this franchise around. The Bombers need to take the next step, and I dont think Nichols can get them there. To clarify, I don't think Nichols goes anywhere. He will be replaced, but still on the roster and maybe play. But I see Streveler taking a big step forward next year and getting more starts.

"The bombers beat the riders last week, who were led by Brandon Bridge, air Canada. He came off the bench last year to almost lead the riders to the gc....he played pretty well in regina last week and had a shot to win, but a missed penalty cost them the game." How close does everyone think I am?

I'm not concerned about the recieving aspect of the spot Lankford is filling...I'm more concerned about the run blocking. Is Lankford as good as Thompkins?

Harris had 100+ last week though. -
Movin' on to take on the Calgary Stampeders!!!!
Bigblue204 replied to Wanna-B-Fanboy's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I really hope Lankford is not starting...did Thompkins get hurt or is this an attempt to get a legit returner on the field? -

Regular Season Bomber News & Discussion
Bigblue204 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Never mind winning the WSF....does no one remember rod pederson saying the riders would go undefeated if they had Collaros? He was supposed to be the hero for that franchise. I guess they haven't given up hope that he will play like he did before the injuries and concussions started piling up. The complaining about Oshea and Jeffcoat is them trying to come to terms with their shitty team getting the treatment it deserves. **** that entire organization and fan base! Enjoy the basement for the next few years!! -
Regular Season Bomber News & Discussion
Bigblue204 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Never mind, it use to annoy the **** out of me how many times our QB's would get NO help from their Olineman when getting off the turf. Or an opponent would stand over Buck or talk **** on their way by, and not a single OL took exception. Drove me crazy for years. I longed for the day a Bomber OL would get a penalty for smacking someone who took a cheap shot at a bomber -
I believe Chungh is signed till next year
-
Dom Davis, V Adams and one of either Pipkin/Manziel I could see coming over to the riders to compete. I think MTL will need to keep Manziel to get butts in seats though.
-
I recorded a tsn channel, cant remember which one...and got the dolphins game. I was pissed. Until I realized they were replaying the game at 3am. I have it now.

"POS thing to do" aww muffin. a player got hurt playing a contact game. These things are going to happen. Sure 8 seconds left, in a one score game in the CFL. I've never seen a last second td thrown in the league. Never ever happens... I wouldn't call it an intent to injure, but he wanted to make sure he felt the hit. The same way that POS ssk player wanted Wolitarsky to feel it. The same way jefferson wanted the bombers to know what kind of player he was when he show boated in the endzone, or called out the Oline before the game. You wanna act like a bunch of assholes, you're gonna get treated like one. Next time, maybe they should all STFU and learn to play offence. **** THE RIDERS!
