They're all friends. Bringing them all back just proves that. Nothing will change. I'd love to be optimistic but I find these two signings give me nothing but pessimism.

Hey c'mon. We're soooo negative here. Rejoice!! The Canadian Mafia are back running things. The Besties are back for 3 freaking years.

I agree and that's why he has to be taken to task by Miller IF we see the same thing unfolding in 26'...O'Sh has always struck me as a guy who could have narrow vision and not accept input from anyone else, seeing that as a weakness....He has to learn to be more pliable when it comes to roster management or we could end up with the same failed result as this season.....AND further to that we could see empty seats at the Princess and that doesn't bode well for anybody....We want to see a winner ...We know the 2 guys who have been given 3 year deals have the ability...they've proven that ...We just have to get back to the things that made us a winner ...Hopefully the faith given to Walters and O'Shea results in just that....a return to the winner circle

Have those words been used in the same sentence before?

yup it is not an either or it’s both.

His family immigrated to Brooks, AB. There's huge meat packing plant there. If anything, I believe he'd sign with the Stamps just 2 hours away. The guy we lost this past off season. Liam Dobson who started all season & played both guard & center.

Nobody is talking about starting reps. He could have easily been a depth guy who rotated in occasionally and gained valuable reps without being in the starting line-up. He was rostered but didn't see the field on teams afaik - all he did was teams. They can acknowledge that he won't be back without throwing him under the bus though. All they have to say is this year wasn't good enough and there will be changes to the coaching staff - people can read between the lines from there.

Why? Coach is gonna play slugs like tho.as regardless. We need to end the country club surrounding this team and value talent as much as intangibles.

Well they let wolitarsky walk for clercius.... thats part and parcel of succession planning. You are super obsessed with numbers, yet a guy like Bailey as an example had success here but didn't have it elsewhere. Situations matter. But you are again missing the entire point, the point here is oshea makes bad decisions with the roster, included in that is dressing guys who have shown they are not totally useless and then giving them 0 reps while 3 other players at the same position can barely move yet play the whole game. So how can we trust that oshea is making the best choices possible? We can't.

Well, it's only a 5 hour drive so why wouldn't it be? There were fans that unloaded theit tickets after the Bombers lost.

Seemed quiet on tv. Definitely rider fans louder but didn’t look like that many honestly. Today I see everyone in Sask is a rider fan but only sold out Labour Day. Congrats to Trevor Harris tho. He’s a class act.

Again...who are the guys who left town only to have enormous success after being "held back" here. Name just one. That was the claim being made. Could we split hairs on whether a guy like Rosary should have gotten more reps....I suppose....but he was a fringe talent then and would be a fringe guy now if he stuck. I mean really we are clamoring for MOS to play guys with very little upside in their game. BTW, Corcoran played because Clercius was a little knicked up. Could we have gotten more reps for Shay/Smith? Maybe. However, our record wasn't very conducive to rolling the dice with unproven rookies.

No. It’s cuz he has terminal cancer and that was his wish. To start on a pro football team. Cuz it ain’t talent why he played. Can’t wait to see him trotted out again next year. That to me tells the story. Does Jake get signed or not. Signed means I’m depressed and not gonna enjoy next season. Don’t sign and there’s hope. We should all hope for hope. Seriously. Jake signing would be the ultimate well looks like they should have been let go moment.

Bringing the band back together....THE GLENN MILLER BAND!

JT playing was not due to ratio.

I think if you get so much NFL time in after your draft year that the rookie amounts are null and void now? Thought I read that, maybe someone can confirm? Sorry if that's all in my head. I'm OK with that so long as our BO saving go directly to signing a top notch OL. If we can get an allstar calibre OL for the Brady savings we can easily replace most of Brady's production for a regular RB salary. The net gain in us getting a stud OL is far greater than the 300 yards more from scrimmage we will get from Brady. Fair point.

I don't think we have to fire him. He's on a year to year contract I believe. We can let him go gracefully by letting his contract simply expire.

Nope. I am getting my pitchfork and torch ready.

Is Hogan fired yet?

Well don't let a little thing like facts get in the way of your BOLO rant. He wasn't competing for reps against Clercius or Corcoran. If he was you might have a point but he wasn't so your point is ridiculous. BOLO had to unseat a still in his prime Wolitarsky or Nic Demski. He could do neither because he wasn't good enough. He was given ample reps to demonstrate his potential. FULL STOP. The fact he has gone elsewhere and been just as ineffective proves that. I mean good gravy you say I have my head up my arse defending OSH, but that's not true, I just would like for a single one of the examples used against him to make a lick of sense. Is that too much to ask? FACT: In 2022, BOLO had more targets with Winnipeg than his first year in Hamilton and almost as much as this year. He put up a whopping 233 yards for those targets. FACT: In the two years since leaving here he has averaged 335 yards per season seeing almost full time receiving duty. Yea, he's the one that got away all right. Answer me this, which of our old vets in Wolitarsky or Demski would you have sat down for that outstanding level of production? Or are you suggesting we should have flipped an IMP receiving spot to NAT and sat down one of Lawler/Schoen/Bailey? I mean seriously look at that receiving corps. BOLO didn't stand a chance of making that roster as a starter because it was an elite receiving crew....but hey MOS is the bad guy for dressing his best receivers I guess. If it sounds like I'm mocking your example, I am. You could have picked from so many and you chose literally the one guy that we MOS did give chances too and didn't seize the opportunity.

They have NEVER had one year deals... Nobody would ever sign that.

I get it but it also infers we need stronger talent at cdns, which has always been an element of stronger teams, just look at Sask with Emilus, Schafer baker, Campbell. You dont get stronger by losing your best cdns to other teams. Ford, and Dobson are recent examples of us getting weaker.

Nah. Walters just came off a 2 year deal https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/11/28/blue-bombers-and-general-manager-kyle-walters-agree-to-terms-on-two-year-extension/ MOS off a 3 year deal he signed after 2022 https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/12/08/head-coach-mike-oshea-signs-three-year-contract-extension/ https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/11/14/oshea-staying-put/#:~:text=The CFL's longest-serving head,season%2C prompting all the speculation. The CFL’s longest-serving head coach, O’Shea was hired by the club on December 4th, 2013 and after signing a three-year extension to remain with the club in 2022, was working on an expiring contract this season, prompting all the speculation.

The entire point of my post is that we didn't need to have Thomas in the first place!
