Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season

[Noeller]

I hadn't noticed this wrinkle to the sched, but apparently there's a bunch of Sunday night games in an attempt to bring in US audience......

Danny Austin is claiming the league doesn't care about CGY....because...their labour day game starts at 5pm. AND Hamilton doesn't come to CGY...I wish I was kidding. What an absolute joke. Know who doesn't care about CGY? ******* CGY

Man, he’s been whiny lately.

I wish he would have kept his promise to stop tweeting about the CFL.

I assume the lack of a Hamilton games and a chance to play BLM and his new team is what has him upset.  Well boohoo.  We didn't get a home coming game for Harris last season, so I guess the league hates us too, using his logic.

Just noticed the kickoff for Labour Day is 5 pm Regina time...

...How the hell am I supposed to stay sober for that long?!

Rosie!

[bearpants]

no problem bringing him back... but I still see Lawrence and Houston ahead of him on the depth chart

[Nolby]

I wonder if these guys are coming back at a cheaper deal on these one years to push hard for the cup again. Bring Lawler home!

[17to85]

Everyone in a hurry to drop Rose, I told ya all he'd be starting unless he wanted an absurd amount of money. 

[Mr. Perfect]

Surprised Rose is back - but I'm not unhappy with it. He's not what he use to be, but veterans in the room are obviously important to have.

I also think that helps Canadian viewership too. There not more on TV on Sunday night during the summer.

I'm giving Rose the benefit of the doubt.  Our secondary was a bit of a revolving door last season and he may have been trying to do too much.   You factor in that he was hurt and never quite himself .. it's no wonder his play fell off. 

Late in the year you started to see him round into form.  By that point, the backfield had settled down and he was likely healthier than he'd been at any point prior - again, just giving him the benefit of the doubt based on his previous level of play and how he flashed at times last season.

That said, I expect competition and expect he'll be pushed to prove he's our solution our there.

They should break the streak in Week 1 - the CFL gave them the Riders that early for a reason.

The L's are literally betting on themselves to beat the Riders in week 1.   It's a win-win situation for me... either the Riders lose or it's another Chris Jones disaster.

We didn't have a coverage capable safety for most of the year last year. Rose's play became exponentially better after Alexander came back and that should surprise no one as without safety help life on the boundary can be real tough.

Thought Rose would a cap victim but solid addition.

Would love to see Demski back soon.

Baumming tweeted speculation that Jeffcoat will be back since he's on the promos for the 2023 schedule.

Rose, besides having the benefit of Alexander back, was playing with a 'lower body injury' ...(how vague can you get)....Seems he was playing with a broken bone in his foot...I think we see the ol' Rose back once he's a 100 percent...Glad he reupped

Demski was on some of the promo material as well, so by Baumming's logic, he'll be back too.

Speaking of Lawler's return, I am surprised there wasn't any chatter here about the instagram post of him picking up his new Infiiniti in Edmonton, wearing a pair of Bomber sweats.

The "J" doesn't stand for Jesus. 

 

It's about 3" by 2" but I'm told size doesn't matter.

Every photo on his Instagram page is with the Bombers, no evidence he ever played for the Elks.
