Winning the turn over battle, and dominating the trenches, I remember the years when the Bombers would routinely do that. Who would have thought that correlates into wins!

Max Pacioretty done

The sad thing is, something you do need to focus on pure talent and ability, not just a good work ethic and liking a guy's back story.

likewise, if we had maas/dinwiddie and their staff coaching us, we very likely would’ve won 4 gcs in a row and be leading the cfl standings again. I don’t see this team losing in 21 with burke or the stretch run 19 either.

I don’t think mos gives consideration to talent evaluation. I think he looks at intangibles, and singular factors he likes at positions. Oh he’s got the best hips i’ve ever seen, oh he’s the smartest guy on the field, even the lauded anthem of he’s real nasty. From all these years of seeing our roster building, I really think mos believes talent equals out in the end no matter what. Or that they are all just as talented. As though being crafty as a wr counter balances having the size of a gnat and athleticism of matt sheridan. Like if he collects the right pile of intangibles no matter the attributes, we will succeed. I doubt he’d look at our ship years and say we had a massive talent advantage.

Course, that’ll all be on zach and the secondary really. Brady will ball out no matter what. If zach can sustain the level of play he did against hamilton, I don’t think any D in the league can stop him. His blitz pick up and speed at getting the ball out into safe productive spots was extraordinary. That’s his two best game manager performances stuck between the injury. Maybe he’s caught that lightning in a bottle. Dare to dream. It would be awesome for him to carry us to a cup after some pretty terrible play off performances. Edmonton has been much improved but we should still handle them if we show up like we did vs hamilton. Ssk likely has the west division wrapped up by the game we play. Montreal in the last game could go either way. But it’s hard to see any of those teams bringing there best against us.

this staff is mystified and enamored with a shiny bobble like kids with a new toy that seems awesome If a player they deemed was the best makes a one play or has a game where they put up numbers....signed sealed and final...entrenched full time even if they go game after gae...week aftr week of crap....Takes an injury to be removed...and even then...we tend to play injured guys...not hyperbole either...facts

he got hurt....Didnt lose it...then they went Canadian in the spot, and hence no room for him and or his salary...wasnt a performance base thing I dont think they really even had a plan....just cling to and hope the past resurfaces...again......that ship has sailed on many aspects of the past, and I also truly don't think Osh is a good evaluator of talent...he definately values some things over talent...and those things don't translate on the field to the best players

Was he over rated by toronto when he lead them in sacks while rotating with the 2 best lbers in the league? Lbers have the lowest impact of any position player in the cfl, but tjones has been awful in coverage. Woodbey isn’t playing lber. No one said they wanted more lbers on the roster. Just the right ones. I mean things can get whacky when you just make up strawman arguments. tackles are not a success indicator for a lber or db. Awe stacks up tons of tackles and very few stop. very much so, but slow joe was better early on.

He might have asked for his release. Being let go before the trade deadline allows him to play for another team this season if he gets picked up.

That said despite all my bellyaching, I am hoping we catch lightning in a bottle and end the year celebrating a cup win at home.

I mean there’s zero wasted money there

The wasted money include as well: White Jr, Makonzo, Hagerty, among others.

I don't have an opinion one way or the other... I trust JY and the D coaches..... But... I thought Doug Brown had an interesting comment in a recent Pre Game Show when he said "the Bombers going from Bighill to Jones reminds me of when we went from Barrin Simpson to Joe Lobendahn..." As in, Joe Lobendahn was a fine MACK but, there are very few Barring Simpsons (or Adam Bighills) in th world...

It's a ridiculous contract for a guy like Kiprizov, certainly but also the cap is going up and don't forget that what these guys make is a fraction of what the owners make. I'm not as "ATHLETES ARE ALL GREEDY PIGS!!" as some people. Careers are short... Take the money if you can get it. Having said that, this really fucks with where the bar is for guys like KConn and McJesus... Kiprizov is absolutely not worth this money.

Such a waste with J.Jones. Between him, Mitchell and Logan, we wasted a lot of free agency $. Tony Jones is an ok linebacker but not a guy who deserved a two year deal (yes, he's back for 2026)

Maybe, he may have also become a liability. Either way we'll never know

That contract is complete insanity....just give him the keys to the club and put his name down as an owner already....Where does it stop....AND don't forget the guys that buy the tix are going to end up paying for this guy....Just so much till the well runs dry and everyone is hooped

lol. I'm pretty sure that if some MBB poster were on the sidelines calling the shots, the rest of MBB would be pining for the good old days of Tim Burke...

There is a difference between a position not being a problem and being impactful. Tony Jones has a **** ton of tackles but I would say he's had 1 game where he was impactful. Wilson I'd say maaayyybbbbeee one game where he was impactful. We can do better and J.Jones likely would have but he never got more than 1 game (which did show a skilled player IMO)

I dont think Wheatfall is streaky. He comes off as more of a 1 trick pony. Defences figured out how to take him out of games and he hasnt been able to adjust.

We have no idea why he was signed or why he was released. Pretending otherwise is Twitter level conspiracy stuff. The LBs have not been an issue. J.Jones had some playing time and didnt light the world on fire. Sucks to see him go, but not worthy of panicking over it either.

Tackles, oh yay. I'd rather a linebacker make plays than tackles. So why sign Jones if he's as trash as you say? It still points to a disconnect between coach and gm.
