I believe Mtl is now 0-6 vs Wpg, BC and Tor and 6-0 against anyone else

CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
bearpants replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
based specifically on the 2022 season... Playing in Hamilton before a bye is not necessarily going to be an easy win for the Blue and Gold -
Is it just me or does Brady seem like he’s running faster over the past few weeks… he’s always had the power but seemed to lack speed in the open field… recently he seems to be outrunning more guys

Riders at Bombers -BANJO BOWL 2023 GTD-
bearpants replied to Nolby's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Had a laugh about that… this dude disappeared real quick 🤣 3-2 down the stretch (as long as one win is against BC) guarantees first in the west… and that’s assuming BC goes 5-1 -
don't need to be dressed to do that... there was a receiver last year (name slipping my mind... Tavaris Harrison??) who DI'd for two consecutive games and I don't think he played a single snap in any phase of the game I can't help but imagine what a 4th quarter Jeffcoat would look like when he's only played 60% of the snaps up to that point
-
If he wasn't ready he would be staying on the IR... even just for 1-game... moving him to the PR says he's healthy but they aren't rostering him... I've said it before, I don't hate the roster decisions as much as others... but I absolutely cannot understand why we are not using more DL... our defense has been at it's best when we do that...
-
I agree... I think if the game was out of hand, either way... the response would've been much different
-
yeah, I know... I was poking fun at a couple of brilliant takes calling the Bombers "pansies" or "wusses" because no one took a stupid retaliation penalty
-
yeah but just think of how manly some posters would view him 😁

I do agree with most of what you're saying... but a lot of your complaints here are future considerations, not current roster composition... Let's say the team made only one move, took out Jackson and played another DL... either Fox or Garbutt while Haba is injured... would you agree that would be enough to make this roster much better... I think the reason they didn't look for a replacement KR is because Grant is coming back this year... so they decided to use stop-gap in house options rather than bring in a bunch of new guys If Hansen, Haba, and Grant are all ready to go... do you think we see them all this weekend? I sure hope so
-
sorry but no one here is making this argument... I think we all agree this team would benefit from a heavier DL rotation... what some are saying is the roster management is not as terrible as you're making it out to be

Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders
bearpants replied to MOBomberFan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
This guys is such an embarrassment to himself, the Riders, and the CFL... honestly, I hate the Riders as much as anyone, but they deserve better than this clown... actually, I take that back... it is offensive to clowns to put him in the same category as them, sorry Bobo -

I definitely don't blame him for trying... this might be his one and only shot... in the long run, losing some game cheques in 2023 means nothing -
Boatman Versus KittyCats GD Thread.
bearpants replied to rebusrankin's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
so this is an illegal use of a prop... and, rightfully, gets penalized for it... meanwhile, the CFL is promoting it all over their social media... seems kinda odd... I get that it's "fun" and maybe they think that will attract viewers... but this is kind of like promoting a 15 yard penalty because it was a "big hit" or something -
the fact that we got only three sacks and they all came on blitzes.... clearly shows that we need to do something different on the D-line... adding more players, ideally Haba (in for Jackson) and Hansen (in for Maruo) would be the best case scenario... Hansen obviously helps teams too... and FWIW... I don't think Robertson actually meant to head-butt Collaros... I think he was trying to just act like a tough guy in front of him... that said, accident or not, it is absolutely inexcusable that he wasn't thrown out of the game immediately AND suspended for an additional game... how is the CFL going to justify this one??

bearpants replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Zach Collaros has also done ok for himself since he was considered “finished” -
Maruo is a perfectly cromulent player but Hansen is a difference maker on teams and a valuable rotational piece on the D-line... as soon as Hansen is ready to go, that change is a no-brainer... The one I'm not so sure about it what to do with Clements... when he's back, he likely comes in for Cole... but is that right move?... IMO, I would stick with Cole

If you listen to what Baily said after signing here... it almost sounds like he would do it for free... I don't know if there's a number that convinces him to leave... but it sure sounds like here's not here (or even playing football for that matter) for the money -

At age 16 Crosby was in the Q... at age 16 Rourke was playing High school football in Oakville, Ont... At age 18 Crosby was playing in Pittsburgh... at age 18 Rourke was playing football in Ohio (or maybe Fort Scott CC in Kansas)... Not sure what the difference is... you're nitpicking on "development"... hockey and football have different systems... either way Rourke has played as much football in Canada as Crosby has played in Canada... technically more since he has two years of Canadian pro football too -

bearpants replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
you're right... I missed that... and I thoroughly disagree... Born in Canada, played minor ball in Canada, played high school football up to grade 12 in Canada... yes, he is Canadian... I can't imagine why someone would argue otherwise Sidney Crosby spent his 15-year old season at Shattuck St Mary's in Minnesota and has been in Pittsburgh since he turned 18... is he Canadian? -

I believe Woli is a full-time Winnipegger now... so he gets bonus points for that! I agree with you but I think you are confusing a few key points... no one is questioning Rourke's Canadian status... the comp of Woli was to Ben Cahoon... Rourke is 100% Canadian and the fact that he played college call in the US just shows how good he is/was I think what bothers some people is why all the Rourke love and no one else... does TSN even know there's another Canadian QB starting in the league right now who is also making an impact?... seems like all they want to do is talk about Rourke... all the bending over backwards they did for Rourke last year and nothing for Ford this year?... Ford might actually be at the perfect skill level where he could become a great CFL player but never really "great enough" to get an NFL look -

he was really good in his only start last year... I know 2.5 quarters of the game was against back ups... but I recall him doing well against starters too... was hoping he could be a ratio changer at corner this year -

none of that really matters... some guys need more time in the bolded part to get it done in the CFL -
It's pretty unlikely the Argos win a game between Winnipeg and Sask... but I like your confidence!
