Geebrr Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 Exactly, and that is just looking at it today. Lots of time to work on it, guy like Chris Casher couldn't get on the roster without WJ in the way, and he is a starter in Calgary.

Noeller Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 I honestly don't care one iota what happens this off season, in terms of player retention. I got a Cup in my lifetime which I was legitimately worrying night not happen, so at this point I can just die happy. Ha ha. Whatever happens this next season... Meh.

As important as winning was, and has taken some stress away, this team needs to re-build the damage 29 years of no Cups had on the fan base. Going back to a non factor is a huge no-no for a season ticket holder like myself, or bringing in/back people who don't go to games. I am not taking hours out of my day to go watch some bullshit. It is only going to be more enticing to stay at home and watch, they MUST keep people believing they want to come to the stadium, it is the lifeline of the team. This is the best chance they've had in decades to do it. Getting comfortable is a giant, giant, giant mistake. Edited December 9, 2019 by Geebrr TBURGESS, Deiter Fan, bigg jay and 1 other 4

Willie is an NFL talent, but, that doesn't mean he makes an NFL roster, for the reasons you outlined. My gut says he returns to the Bombers. Kongbo is gone I'd say. He'll make an NFL practice roster for sure based on age, potential and SEC resume.

I'm not quite as not caring as you but I know what you mean. All the anxiety I've felt in past off-seasons seems to have disappeared this year.

Noeller Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 I'm definitely not speaking as a team employee... Strictly as a fan. As a fan, I have zero stress about next season.

Booch Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 I agree..this off season is not nearly as daunting..desperate..stressful.. full of question.. sure we have and may lose a piece or two..but lots still in place..others also in house and this place has become a preferred destination And we are grey cup champs...and next year reigning champs..cant complain GCJenks, Noeller and blue85gold 3

Floyd Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 Not too many years where you can look at the roster and even if you sign none of the remaining free agents (except a QB) you still have a pretty good team.., Noeller 1
GCn20 Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 Should Willie leave I hope we sign McAlister. He played extremely well for us in the game he played and reminded me a lot of Willie J. Of course, I wouldn't expect him to match Willie J but he sure looked like an up and comer that deserves a shot. rebusrankin 1
rebusrankin Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 The Cup win took off pressure for myself as a fan or at least the worry if I'd live to see another win but I still want us to push it hard as if we didn't end the streak. Deiter Fan and Geebrr 2

But that's what I mean. Why say that to someone who doesn't work there...the way blue85gold and Noeller etc feel doesn't reflect the way the bombers feel..as far as I know they're just fans. The organization is wrapping up this year and will be focused on winning again. Not sure anyone has said they wouldn't be or thinks they're going to sit back and coast off 2019. I don't know. maybe it's just me. But I wouldn't/don't put much weight behind what fans feel in regards to how the Organization is moving forward..... Geebrr, Noeller and blue85gold 2 1

I do, because I don't want them thinking fans are cool for awhile because we finally won.

They brought McCalister back for one game mid-season and cut him for a second time, can't understand why they didn't keep him around on the PR at least as he performed well in the opportunities given.

He has to agree to be on the PR. Likely said no thanks, which if I can remember correctly, is what he did after TC. Geebrr 1
