I don't know how much the coach enjoyed it... but it was a fun chant in Nov 2019 at portage and main

I was actually thinking about this recently during the break and I wondered what a realistic magic number would be to win the west (don't care about the presidents trophy... in fact, I'd rather the Jets not win that)... I kind of settled on 16 wins... though 2 extra points would be useful... so something like 16-8-2 in the final 26... With that record, I believe Dallas, Edm, or Vegas would have to go 22-5 or 22-4 (depending on how many games they have left) to knock the Jets out of first... while it's not impossible for team to get super hot... it seems unlikely....

A friend of mine who's a huge football fan but not a huge CFL fan (he'll go to a few games with me a year and watch playoffs) commented after the GC... why did the Bombers keep attacking McManis... guy is clearly the best player on the field.

I laughed out loud at this because it was my literal first response too Right but "calls it he sees it" isn't necessarily a good thing when one's opinion is far from the truth... it just helps spread misinformation

in CFL terms... that's like 6 generations ago...

Yeah this is basically what I'm saying, in regards to the receivers... If Mitchell and White pan out... we will not miss Lawler

This is a Streveler quote?

I don't understand the people complaining that we have done nothing this off-season... you don't replace a guy like Lawler... but we've added some nice pieces at receiver and hopefully one or two hit... we're better at LB now than last year... DBs should still be strong... losing the passport at corner sucks but Ford's production is replaceable... Wallace may be as good or better than Dobson... I think I like to see some depth at DL and OL added... ideally a starter but not sure how many great options are out there

If he's looking for a job and the Bombers are the only team offering one... he's not going to turn it down out of spite

So Hamilton is basically building our very below average DL from last year minus the only true difference maker… can’t say I’m too upset about that

Smith at 230 is excessive... but I would've had zero issue with that Ceresna deal... outside of Zach and Brady, we don't really have any one who has a "crazy" contract right now (arguably Kramdi).... and Brady is living up to his...

My assumption on the delayed OC announcement is that it has something to do with Jarious Jackson and what his role/compensation would be... It wouldn't surprise me if him and Hogan are being paid at a similar level... I'm a little surprised Jackson wasn't given an additional title like pass game coordinator, or even Asst HC... the only really confusing part is Ed Tait saying prior that the move would not be surprising...

Garbutt definitely showed some flashes... but not enough consistency... I don't think he'll be a major loss

Funny story... I was in a waiting room a few weeks ago and these two older fellows (in their 60s probably) were talking about the Bombers... one was asking if they should try to get Vernon Adams (this was already AFTER he was traded to and sign an extension with Cgy) and the other guy was explaining that they need to make sure they have cap room first, which they won't know until FA opens... then he started talking about contracts with option windows... I kinda just chuckled to myself... I don't think he got one thing right in the entire 5-10 min convo those two dudes had... I would've been there for a long time if I wanted to correct them... anyways, that the kind of info you'll find on Facebook chats

Jones and Vaughters are nice additions to the front seven... If we're talking about who comes back from our holdovers... I think Garbutt over Haba at the DE spot and I'd have Adams and Woods ahead of Fox at the DT spot

I feel personally attacked right now!

Ajou clearly got this opportunity based on physical traits... and good for him... why wouldn't he take the opportunity given to him... he'll be back in the CFL by June.

I couldn't help but laugh... but don't even joke about that!! Give me a 3-4 front featuring Willie, Adams and Ceresna please...

Is that Jiminy or Rickety?

I try not to think too much about this… it’ll just make it more painful when he inevitably re-signs in tor…

Right, but he said “after the whistle”…. suggesting it was a dirty play… it happened within the play

Absolutely nothing illegal about that hit... Nichols was holding the ball... just an unfortunate result. (approx 6:15 if this doesn't cue up properly)

Doesn't make me mad (as Mike said)... but just really makes shakes my head.... I do not understand for the life of me what they see in him at this point in his career.... the team was ready to move from him when he was like 28... then he had a few good rotational seasons in him... and he's been just a waste of space for the past 2-3 seasons... I don't get it.... can't convince me a rotation of Lawson and Samson wouldn't be a significant improvement?

That's because there's no one singular reason/player... he was one piece of the puzzle ....

The RBs have two actual, legitimate running backs now... crazy strategy!
