Ricky Walker missed the play in the backfield. Jefferson was out there but contained the right side while Kelly ran up the middle. Jake couldn't fill the gap when Kelly scrambled. For those that want to re-live the misery - 4:20

Anybody listen to the OB special? Anything interesting of note? Haven't listened to it yet but here is the spotify link

They usually post them as a podcast too on Spotify at least

The real reason the Bombers lost the last 3 cups... they didn't play the Ti-Cats. Hopefully the Ti-Cats are good enough to make it there this year!

True but who was really available to get? Ceresna was always going to Edm. Brinkman would have been nice. Geno Lewis? Price tag exceeds production.

Ya McManus is worth it for sure but he's the best D player in the league. Kelly was on a rookie contract for the first cup and didn't even play in this years. Ceresna they traded for and then lost immediately when he was FA again. Overall TO isn't going out chasing all the flashy FAs and paying top $. That isn't how they won the 2 of the last 3. Spending all that money on Schoen and Lawler last year bit us when they got hurt and there was no one left but rookies to play.

I get what you're saying but they locked up Schoen and Brady last year for top $. Two star guys in their prime. Who has won anything recently making FAs the top paid players?

Based on how a lot of draftees turn out, getting one all-star season out a 2nd round pick is pretty good. Anthony Bennett and Faith E now those were wasted picks.

They made him the highest paid non-QB of course he's going to say how great the Ti-Cat organization is.

Got to be pretty much everyone not on a rookie deal makes $100k

Ya that was the time. Too late now. Gotta ride with him this season and then see what next year brings

Biggest problem with ZC is that he is being paid like a player that should be able to win the big game by himself and he's not that guy.

Sort of a random thought but who are the Elks receivers even going to be this year? Geno, Mitchell, Tevin Jones all out. They signed Kaion Julien-Grant and someone named Tyson Middlemost Ford going to do it all by himself?

i'm wearing wool socks i got for xmas right now. If our FA additions are a good as these socks we're in good shape.

Strev basically saying that Buck never gave him a chance last year https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2025/02/10/streveler-finds-time-to-re-sign-with-bombers

Did those guys actually give up money when renegotiating? Or just move it around between years.

Zach has guaranteed money in his contract, why would he renegotiate? Guys only do that on threat of being cut outright. The guaranteed money means Zach isn't getting cut. You volunteering to take a pay cut at your job?

Ya it's all of the above. Often had no pocket to step up into. Definitely has lost some touch too. Seemed to have less called roll outs too which used to work really well. Hope the O can refocus on Brady and the running game this year.

He can throw for a zillion yards again and still miss the playoffs.

For sure. They signed Lawson to starter level money. He would have been the guy.

Always liked him. Cool with this, seems like a high upside guy

Never heard of him

What they pay him?

Receiver right now is better than the worst line up we played last year (Woli, Demski, Johnson, Wilson, Clercius? Lucky?) but maybe not better than the best line up (opening day for like a quarter before Lawler broke his arm).

Darn thought you misspelled John Haggerty
