Or it's people who just want to wear a Dressler jersey to a Bombers game against Sask hoping he has a monster game in a Bombers blowout victory.

I traded in carbs for steak bacon and cheese, and a bit of pork and chicken. If I want a snack, no more chips, cook a couple pieces of bacon.

I might start buying merch again this year. It has nothing to do with management. It's the first year in a few that I might be able to wear some of it. The bombers don't really sell fat guy sizing. Down 100lbs this CFL off season (technically 98.5 as of this morning, but i'm going with 100), I may be able to get into some bomber gear again. (the secret is bacon, i have spent 0 time in the gym)

pre-season, backups get some opportunity. The starters will make the threads in regular season as you watch from the couch

So did you buy a new jersey because Taman is gone, because there are new jerseys, or because she can't wear her Dressler jersey to games anymore I would expect most teams merch revenue to be up this year with the new jerseys

I'd be skeptical that the average fan cares too much about who the GM is. Every fan cares about winning/losing, the minority, such as the types who go on forums, care about other the behind the scenes stuff. If merch is down significantly, I'd be surprised if that many people didn't buy merch because of who the GM is.

Because you went and talked to each other instead of watching jab at the media, not you. You did better than I would have, I would have left if they weren't doing much.

Which local media do you work for?

In a league where after 3 years a guy can leave why sour the relationship early. No other league would a guy drafted first overall get a minimum offer.

Our field is 5 yards longer. With NFL goal posts currently 10 yards deeper than ours in the NFL you have to move the ball 5 yards further than in the CFL to have the same length kick (assuming you started on your own half of the field) If we put the goalposts at the back of our end zone, to have the same length kick you now have to move the ball 15 yards further than in the NFL. So if you start around your own 25, and figure you need a 45 yard kick to be in reasonable field goal range, you need to move the ball 47 yards. With your proposal to get into field goal range you'd have to gain 67 yards of offense to get into field goal range. As well if your range is 45 yards you'd have to get to the 18 yard line before you'd kick a field goal. Do you really only want to see field goals attempted from inside the 20? I can't imagine why you'd want that change.

pretty much. When most seasons bombers kickers seem unable to consistently hit any kick over 30 yards, even from the 20 yard line you'd be looking at a 47 yard kick. You'd basically take field goals out of the game. You'd also take out returns from missed field goals which is one of the more exciting plays in the CFL, and make every missed field goal almost an automatic rouge since if the guy didn't have the leg to make the back of the end zone they wouldn't try the kick. The CFL rules and end zone size make it necessary to have the uprights at the goal line.

I just think it's so much easier when you have a right and lefty on every pair. All you got to do is look at L.A." -- Mike Babcock Not sure whose opinion carries more weight.......

He's only being consistent. He is the one who kept insisting on making arguments based on data from cflcapgeek despite everyone knowing it's wrong. Not even worth reading his posts/rants

Typically who would make the decision not to hire position coaches, the head coach or the coordinator? ST coordinator I can understand being an O'Shea call, but with not hiring a receivers coach, would that decision be an O'Shea decision or a Lapo decision? I could see O'Shea having to approve it, but just curious if Lapo may have pitched the idea.T The only reason I wonder is that as HC Lapo was accused of basically micromanaging and interfering with the offense, is not hiring a receivers coach potentially the same sort of control issues coming to the surface? Not saying it's a bad idea, but I've also never hidden my dislike of Lapo as a coach. I Hope I'm wrong on all accounts and we have a decent offense for once.

How do you bold part of a post, and yet still not understand it?

the current rumour is outdoor game against Edmonton in October

If you go to Ottawa go a couple hours before the game and get a bite to eat near the stadium. I went to the bomber game there last season, lots going on before the game right outside the stadium, but the restaurants were very busy. The fans were great too, had a really good time there, and the stadium is nice. BC Place is the nicest stadium I've been to, but the crowd was terrible.

I was with you until Lapolice, then I was sad.

Adams was good when he wasn't being lazy, but he was lazy a lot from what I remember

Toews is having his worst individual season, Wheeler is the first Jets/Thrashers player who might be a point per game player since probably Kovalchuk The poor decision to include Toews also screwed Klingberg who should be there. Because they sent Toews they couldn't send Wheeler, so they needed a Jet so they went Byfuglein, which bumps Klingberg because Josi/Weber are too damn good.

I've been there and seen it during training camp. Was sitting in front of them. There was no football discussion, a lot of bitching about photo radar.I'd always been slightly skeptical of those reports as well until I was there for training camp one day

There like 15 people in the city who complain about it. A few in the media, some on here and nobody else. Of all the fans I know not one has ever been upset about not hearing from a coordinator. They're upset about the shitty team. Personally the only positive is I no longer have to listen to lapo. You're entitled to your opinion, but I think you're in a small minority who cares about this issue.

Don't like it at all. Despite the struggles I was at 4 Bomber road games this year. I was planning at least 3 next year. That plan is now at 0. This just feels like they aren't trying, and if they aren't trying, I'm not spending money. With that said, I hope I'm wrong and we have a legitimate offense next year, but I'm not expecting it.
