I don't think Ball was even playing on special teams last game from what I could tell. I could have missed him getting on for some snaps but I know he was on the sidelines for kick coverage late in the game.

That name calling definitely crossed the line. Good that you put him in his place. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/2013/04/02/how-heroin-felled-a-hero An old article a couple of years before his death (Hopefully, there's no paywall.) A really sad story and a waste of a great talent. I had forgotten about Brown so I checked out his stats with the Bombers. It looks like he played 10 games in '73 and while not Herron-like was a solid player.

lol...pretty much..... Ball...Hallett.....Kelly...very redundant and really serves no purpose....only 1 should be getting any rotation on defense....the other 2 be better served with say Cobb as another back up receiver and returner....and give Bailey his shot....if he shows he has use as a rotation guy then thats a win....But Osh loves to roster under performing and irrelevant Canadians for whatever reason....Drop Thomas...Ball...Hallett for guys who may actually add something other than 2 guys getting 6 to 8 reps a game chasing down kicks would be nothing but beneficial...and Thomas' contributions...or lack there of

It's a fair comment to make... you have the MOP on the team who is a running back and some QBs who seem unable to push the ball down the field yet there have been long stretches in games where you aren't getting him the ball. Probably doubly frustrating for Brady because I don't think he expected to be rolling near Labour Day with a goose egg in TDs again this year.

Coming from Oliveira, who always spoke so highly of Hogan.... yeah that's a flat out admission guy is over his head.

Ya that was my thought too... First time I've heard the players say anything other than "it's all on us to play better"... It was small, but even a little bit of "everyone, including the coaches, needs to be better..." really stood out to me

I'm choosing to believe that the only reason they don't have 6 Safeties on the depth chart is because it doesn't fit the formatting.

Allen ON, Bonds OFF https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/OTTAWA-at-WINNIPEG_AUGUST-14.pdf

Not exactly glowing praise for the OC from Oliveira is it? https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/08/12/48-hour-primer-week-11-vs-ottawa/

I'll sit this one out so I don't ruin it for everyone by winning again

Maybe woodbey to Sam, Griffen to halfback, Holm to corner. This is actually a pretty big game this week…. A win and they have a stranglehold on at bar minimum a crossover a loss and the sky is falling. I still think they can cobble something together and get Scheon and Ontaria Wilson back later in the season.

I think he will get in, one way or another. I guess he is a pure safety - four years as a safety at Purdue, went to Broncos camp as a safety, played safety throughout camp and preseason here. Doesn't mean he can't play other DB spots (I'm sure he has lined up as a corner in his life) but it would not be his ideal spot. That said, we don't need to start a Canadian at S. We could bring on Allen at S, move Holm to corner, Griffin to HB and play Kramdi at SAM. Kelly goes back to a 7th DB role. I'd be a lot more comfortable with that than continuing to roll with Kramdi/Kelly at safety and moving Allen to CB or some schlub they sign off the couch.

It didn't have to happen. Very strange decision making by Walters refusing to spend any money & letting key playrrs walk like it;s no big deal when we all knew it was. Then blaming the CFLPA. When it comes to rsoer decisions, Osh is always being Osh.

good lord- we are ******. the GC looks like to be very unlikely this year. what a ******* year to just drop off that cliff... FFS

We look like we're on the cusp of a big losing streaak with injuries staring to effect the lineup. Will Brady even make it to a thousand yards rushing under Hogan? We may not even have a thousand yard receiver. What happened to Wheatfall?

His charges were dropped. Looks like he was falsely accused but he's radioactive still.

I remember I was 18 sitting in one of my two season ticket seats that were on the 55 yard line in Section V at Winnipeg Stadium. We were in the middle of an 8 game losing streak in 1973. There was this BC Lions fan who was enjoying the Bombers getting beat up on the field as we plummetted to last place in the West that season after Earl Lunsford tore apart our first place team from 1972 much like Kyle Walters did this past off season. The guy was loving the fact that Stan Brown took over from a departed Mack Herron. Brown was no Mack Herron, that's for sure averaging a bit over 4 yards a carry. He kept yelling out, "Where's "Smack Heroin??" all game long. Finally, by the beginning of the 4th quarter I couldn't take it any longer & told that hosebag to shut his effing mouth. I was ready for him to jump at me wanting to fight. He never did. He sat down & never said another word. I wanted him to come at me but he didn't. POS Lions fan.

Now, we have no HC or GM under contract for nest season. I expect that changes will be made this off season. They have to go 7-3 the rest of the way to equal last year. Could be doable but I have my doubts with this years team. More likely an AD in the Ontario Conference of U Sports.

My position would be called Team Historian & Curator

I’d take Houston over what we have (Lawrence)

No...I was not complaining about that...nice try tho I said right from get go drafting a 27 yr old who looked good against kids was an idiotic waste I think part of our problem is signing too many these so called character guys...we need more guys with edge and attitude I just find it funny how when we desperate we can overlook some things

As long as he wasn't training with Briggs

Signed with Ottawa in the offseason.
