What's it been, 12 seasons now of the Walters & Osh regime? At one time, we used to say that the Bombers needed continuity as we made too many GM & head coaching changes. Now, we've gone full circle & it seems that familairity breeds contempt. The Canadian Mafia has been together for too long. They've gone soft. Walters & Osh have lost their edge. Stupid personnel & coaching decisons the past 3 seasons have cost this team dearly. Time for a change before this team truly goes over a cliff losing games.

Looking forward to Nobody 2 this weekend. May actually go to the theater to watch it.

Bomber loss aside, it was a ridiculously entertaining weekend for the CFL. Four games decided by a total of nine points, all of them undecided until late in the fourth quarter. just the perfect mix of scrambly and dramatic. liked seeing Dru Brown and Rourke playing clutch in a league that really needs the next generation of QBs to step up. love this league.

300 and 327 yards passing, 28 and 31 points, several explosive passing plays, is our defence really showing a marked improvement? The past two, we've been good for a quarter (Calgary) or a half (Toronto) and then seem to have issues.

Well we saw a marked improvement in the defence with a couple tweaks... not sure that the receivers in house are enough to drastically improve that group but might get a bit more with a shuffle somewhere

yep 1 year. idk i feel like guarantee has changed, i think teams can offer as much as they want. soo many changes hard to keep track. But unless atleast one of walters/mos is gone it might as well be guaranteed. turd sandwich of decisions, but i’d do the same.

I know you are exaggerating to make a point, but there is ample proof that O'Shea has been playing favourites to the detriment of the team. That said, there seems to be a dearth of talent on this edition and a good deal of that blame lies elsewhere. Plenty of blame- enough to go around.

GMs don't build the roster, they just bring in the players. So..in your estimation we have all the OL/DL/receiving talent here to be tops in the division but MOS is refusing to play them? Do you know how highly unlikely that is?

I mean those pieces aren't going to make them better, but yea, we need to be way more active.

Other teams..making moves trying to find pieces that may work for them As we twiddling our thumbs believing we all good

Two weeks ago? What does that have to do with your terrible take on thinking a guy throwing 9 passes in pre season is more then enough to show that he's a superior player. Did you not see how awesome Pigromes was a few years back in pre season?

he wont be like that in 2026 tho....may even be much better late this yr.....Everyone thinks he is what he is post surgery and thats not the case...especially 11 months removed....Judgment cant really be passed until a full camp next yr....actual weapons to throw to...and an OC that has half a brain.....ZC not so much tho...we have seen his slide now for 3 yrs...and he aint getting younger

ouch we know how this team works tho...a vet if signed before the season is basically locked up...also gauranteed to be starting in said position...I think if we can get assets for him this yr that will help us this yr...and next...we take that shot...especially if we are wallowing in 4th place yeah...I think we are stuck in a bad spot to be honest.....very bad foresight 2 yrs ago

So our options for 2026 are what: A declining Collaros at potentially high QB 1 $ Streveler who is limited as a passer and potentially no longer has the mobility he once had A youngster like Powell Older vet such as MBT or Fajardo I mean if it was me I'd go Powell because I like potential and upside.

its a one yr deal right?...so I think to have a guarantee portion it needs to be 3 yr deal....but I could be wrong

THATS what I said...Walters is involved in the National scouting...ie....Canadian draft G.M's dont build the roster...they bring in the players but DONT tell HC who to cut/retain....if thats happening your in real trouble as a franchise. So how is it telling y=that Osh keeps guysyr after yr rather than replacing them...If it's tellung anything it's saying Osh isnt held accountable to a certain degree Fact of the matter from HC up we been bumbling and stumbling and that combo has been a huge reason of our erosion and total lack of deoth and top line talent...and usually more times than not the HC is expunged before anyone.....or they clean house top to bottom....I think we need to change one of the pieces and see if that changes things for the better first....then go from there

And here we are with what as the other options? A guy who is so busted up he can barely fall forward on a wedge play these days?

Except we don't know the details for 2026 or whether there is significant guaranteed money etc. As far as 2025 if a 1/3 was paid upfront that still leaves $400K over the last 12 games. That's still not something any team will want. It will also need a season ending injury to VAJ, Rourke or Harris to have interest. I don't see that as an easy flip, nor do I see interest even if there is a season ending injury. Here we are suggesting Collaros is " done " but other teams will be happy to get him and his giant contract?

"locked up" can be used very loosely until we know there is guaranteed money. No guarantee leaves a lot of options open.

When's the last time you watched a football game?

The rookie's longest pass was 12 yards. Pre season doesn't tell the full story but if you are going to use it as a determining factor then Wilson blew him away. Two seasons ago Pigromes looked like the next Doug Flutie in pre season and where is he today? Dru Brown looked like crap in that same pre season and now he is a desired starter. Real game time is significantly more important then pre season.

Not I.

A reminder that they extended him for next season as well! The reason I want him gone is so that we do have money to spend next season on a starting QB OR other impact players. Zach has been playing at the bottom level of the starters for 2 seasons in a row. Why would we pay a premium for a 3rd straight year when you can start Strev or almost any other guy and get similar results at a much lower price? For the record Tre Ford and Jake Maier have better QB ratings then Zach this and last season despite playing on crappier teams.

Ummm.... https://3downnation.com/2025/05/23/winnipeg-blue-bombers-sign-qb-zach-collaros-to-contract-extension-through-2026/ More then likely it's 600+. I highly doubt he is taking a pay cut.
