For sure, there are a million and 1 things that we aren't exactly privy to that can affect a player game to game. Collaros being injured in 111, and Lawler being almost last man standing in 110... and then obviously his first year was 107 so can't put too much into it. He had a fantastic game in the West Finals last year... but Collaros looked vintage there as well... so much symbiosis between WR and QB. 2023 he had similar numbers to Grey Cup 110, 2021 he had similar numbers, same in 2019 but he had a TD there. Obviously having a player like Lawler on the team would be a huge plus but cost and usage definitely a factor. He had 4 seasons here and he was at least inconsistent in his availability. You can see where the thought process would go with a high priced receiver... can't keep on the AR all year and an offense that is in clear decline... It looks worse because he is balling out this year but he is leading the league depth yards targeted and the Bombers are living right around 10 yards past the line of scrimmage... is that because they don't have someone like Kenny or is that because the Bombers are rostering QBs that can't push the ball down field? Probably a bit of both. Maybe as a fan I give the team a bit more rope than they deserve... Lots of people like to clamor for Dru Brown... did the front office completely bungle that or in the 3 years he was here did they decide that he would be unable to stay on the field with the way he plays... Would the last 2 years be any better with Brown as the QB with his inability to stay on the field? CFL definitely isn't as transparent as a lot of other leagues and we are left to fill in the gaps... part of the fun I suppose

I actually expect to see Wilson in the 2nd half tonight. Maybe Artopoeous. Get that blowout feeling. We ain’t gonna be the ones doing the blowing out either.

now playoff games to get us to the Grey Cup Also...maybe those games teams in the Cup schemed to take him out of the game, and was up to us to scheme something to take advantage of that...aka.....coaching? same with when a receiver seems to go quite...maybe they saw his previous damage and schemed him out of the game and took him away, and the QB had to have the wherewithal to look elsewhere...that gets lost in the arguments too

Grey Cup 107 3/52 Grey Cup 108 3/41 Grey Cup 110 3/77 Grey Cup 111 2/27 Not exactly game breaking numbers. The whole thesis of your argument is it must have been a partial tear or else it would border on negligence to trot him out there... so why wouldn't the team's #1 media hype man specifically call it out that it was a partial tear and everyone agreed he could try to play through it and unforunately he ended up fully tearing it... but the reporting was essentially he tore it in Calgary and after a stint on the 6 game IR they tried to give it a go but he couldn't play through it so they are shutting him down

I think he meant Thomas will eat 4 sack lunches during the game tonight.

I think you are correct. Lawler might get close to 200 yards today! I expect Stev to throw at least 2 picks in the first half before he is relieved.

I was gonna ask if that was yr end stats....and who is this Thomas guy who piled up 4 sacks to lead the club

I'll have whatever you're having!😃

The club said tore....if it was Partial tear...they would have said partially torn...so the assumption appears to be you. And yeah I not gonna divulge names on here....or say who has told me things....I respect "in confidence" and would be real stain to reveal info to a bunch of online nutjobs....at least I can back it up although you refuse to wanna believe it....What backup do you have to support your assumption?...History of guys yrs before who had an acl partial tear....or strain?....which is 1000 percent different than a torn acl? If it makes you feel better "maybe" the player himself, and a few other teammates said it...as really it want a secret and was quite obvious. Have you had an ACL injury...played with one?...and with a rebuilt one? History of player A doesn't mean history of player B is the same...nor does it dictate what could/can happen with player C

Hard to forget about paying $150k for 11 catches & 85 yards. 😂 We're paying about $250k between Mitchell & Schoen for their combined 340 yards receiving and 2 TD's vs $280-300k and 1k yard receving and 10 TD's for Lawler. Saying Walters **** the bed on that would be a massive understatement.

So he decides when it matters?

Strev 26/33 408 yards 5 TD Thomas 4 sacks Lawson Jr 2 pick 6’s

Shows up when it matters in a big way.

After this yr....and especially if we bow out meekly again...we need to Purge G.M nad HC....Have new guy select his H.C and then let him decide what Assistants he feels are worth keeping...and what "current" players he likes....and roll from there And the sooner they do it and get it doen...the better and the quicker we get boots on the ground to get back to a top team

Where does it say full tear. Nowhere. You are making assumptions and trying to back it up with anonymous confidential cannot be named sources. I am going off the history of ACL injuries and how they are handled.

Don’t forget fat Dillon Mitchell

Wish he was still here but he does disappear for stretches.

Let's not try to sugar coat the non-signing of Kenny Lawler....it was a BIG mistake , considering what we replaced him with ..This was/is a Cup year in the city....we should have gone all out to at least have a respectable year...What we're having now is far off Bomber standards....IF it's true that we sand bagged Lawlers attempt to look at his future after football....well I only have one word for that ...facking deplorable....oooops sorry that's 2 words

He got paid 275k to go to Hamilton. How much do you think we paid him last year. Clue...it was right around that mark. I get that his injury history and legal problems kept him out of the lineup, but a lot of that time he missed was not against he SMS. How many games did Lawler play each year of his contract. The reason to sign Lawler wasnt dependability, it is because he is a cheat code when he is in the lineup. Kenny Lawler is a cheat code. I dont care about his health or off field issues so long as they dont happen in the playoffs.

Yeah why pay for the best WR in the league when you can get a beat up Schoen for 5 games at half the price? That's money well spent right there!

Crazy. If and honestly with the O it’s a big if but if we win, both us and Hamilton would be 7 and 6. That’s crazy cuz Hamilton being praised and we being **** on. Expectations be a thing round here.

300k for a receiver is wild. I’d pay prime milt more. Same with prime Arland Bruce probably Geroy Simon but I’m not sure Kenny is In that group. Like you said, his health and other off field issues are red flags.

Walters and Kenny seems like the Hervey and Eugene situation only Walters remembered not to say the quiet part out loud. Of all the questionable roster decisions and signings (and not signings) Walters has made, I'm not sure not signing a 31 year old WR who hadn't played more than 2/3rds of a season the previous 3 seasons to $300K/yr would crack the top 5

Every former bomber it seems. Bridges signed in BC.
