All Activity

Hopefully Warmer than this current one which feels long weekend ish to me at the moment. Cuz I’m about to cut the grass and I’m frozen.

LONG WEEKEND! (coming up)

We have only played 1 plus 500 team right now anyways but BC was 1 and 0 when We beat them. We have lost to 1 team 3 times and 1 team once. We haven’t played 2 of the 4 (in reality 2 of the 3 cuz we are 1 of the 4 teams above 500) and Montreal was 5 and 5 so I mean pretty tough to beat teams above 500 when you have really only played 1 team who is currently above it. Bc is under 500 but we beat them twice. If not they would be above 500. 500 in a 9 team league when 4 teams including us are above 500 is pretty ridiculous honestly. I mean that’s like plus minus in hockey. Doesn’t mean **** dude.

How healthy is Harris?

In 2 weeks, bombers and Sask will be 8 and 4. But a little Sask story. I met a dude from Regina on a vacation and he was married to a girl from Regina and they named their kids yeast and flour cuz those be ingredients in bread. Yeah. dude was a fun guy tho, he could count all his sexual experiences on one hand. 3 times mom 2 times sister 1 time aunt… but yeah, I’ve been twice to Regina and that’s probably enough for me now. The drive is boring if I’m being honest but surprisingly lots of subway restaurants there, I was told it’s because ppl in Sask are good at making things in bread but anyways enough of my Sask story. hopefully Houston debuts and we dress some extra DL and pretty much copy exactly what Calgary did

The reality is that we haven't beaten a +.500 team yet & we play 3 in a row now.

They might have a threat with this Spencer Brown RB now though. In less than 3 quarters of play last night he ran for 85 yards and a touchdown. He runs hard and hits the hole faster than McMahon , kept the BC defense off balance when he was in and it shows how it opened up the Argos passing game by giving Arbuckle just that little extra time to let the play develop.

Bombers are tied for 3rd in the league behind Sask Calgary and tied with the offensive juggernaut Ticats. I mean. The reality is the bombers are better than a few people think. They aren’t the dominant bombers of days gone by but I think that’s more on the D than the O. Bombers D used to be dominant. Bombers O never was, always middle of the pack kinda where they are now in lots of O categories. The difference this year is our D is giving up more points and are leading the league in explosion plays against. That really hasn’t been a thing here in recent memory. The O has their 1 or 2 45 50 point games a year but on average probably mid 20s to late 20s points on average historically. There was a point where our D didn’t allow any points in the 4th quarter for like years in a row. Not so much right now. Medlock was kicking 5 fgs a night also.

I agree we need more from our O-Line and our D-Line.... On the positive note, Allen and Vaval, and Lawson Jr. are getting better on the D... Schoen may be ready for real, and Ontaria Wilson could be back as well, both will greatly improve our receiving core.... The addition of Houston on D should improve our pass defense, since key pieces will no longer feel the need to compensate... Collaros appears to be using his mobility more suddenly, again, which makes the O-Line less of a priority than the D-Line, which needs to create much more pressure to take that same pressure off the D-Backs...Perhaps the return of Lawson on the D-Line will help? We have some holes that's for sure....

He’s been around since 2018. Good stats. I’d imagine it might take a bit to get him out of Ontario now tho. Seems like he’s bounced around between Toronto and Ottawa a bit now. If I’m being realistic I think there’s a good chance Chad Kelly is done in the cfl and done with the Argos and Arbuckle will be signed again. Plus realistically Zach is signed for next season. If Arbuckle can start in TO he ain’t leaving to backup. Cuz whether ppl accept it or not unless there’s some weird miracle, Zach is our starter next year.

Toronto doesn't have a threat running the ball. He basically has to pass the ball on ever play. With Brady I think he would do well Looking into the future for next season who is out starting QB? There isn't much out there in the cfl. Arbuckle might be are only option

As a backup yup. But if he’s starting we are losing more than we win.

I personally wouldn't mind if the Bombers made a play for Arbuckle in the off season.

Nobody will cuz dude has been in the league since 2018 and teams have been there done that and he’s failed. Argos still have a shitty record. Arbuckle has nice stats but when he starts he loses more often than not. He’s already played for Calgary Edmonton and Ottawa plus Toronto now. Half the league. It ain’t happening for him. With that said I’d take him as a backup over Streveler.

That would be fair...and likely..and a good deal really

they did some player appearance things at fsu as soon as nil came in. guys like wilson made 170-200 bucks an hour. i’d bet he made in the 20-30k range, sounds like they worked it pretty well for the early days. Since the cap went up 500k, and we likely came in under the previous cap plus have 6game savings, we should have a pretty good nut to offer wilson. which makes me wonder 1, what’s he worth to get up asap? and what would it take? 200k for 2 years with 100k upfront? with the standard agreement that he can work out and if an nfl team wants to sign him in the off season we let him go. It’s high value for a one year guy, but i think that’d be what it takes to move him quickly.

Maybe Ottawa gets sick of Brown being injured and back up the Brinks truck to Arbuckle and the Bombers can try to fix Brown

You'd be surprised to here how much some of those guys are making.

I think that's something else

Id add interior dline..we have 2 good pieces...but no depth behind them and we aren't rostering 2 guys who likely help in woods and Bailey Oline Canadian depth is pretty slim Pickens too Our main issue really is coaching and how we use guys...and what appears to be an OC in way over his head and a guy not able to answer things in the moment Funny part of this whole thing is we can kinda control our fate if we smarten up a bit and can get hot and run off a string of 5 or 6 wins in a row continuing this weekend

I'd be surprised if Wilson made a large amount of NIL $. He was at FSU between 2018-2022, NIL only came in for 2021. So two years tops and he was a guy putting up 400-500 yards per year.

Someone needs to tell him you can carve out a great career in this league with pretty good compensation.

This is an alarmist statement... the only real area of concern to that extent is receiver and that could be corrected well enough depending on if, when, how effective schoen comes back and maybe Wilson.

Not breaking into the Jets wr core cant leave a lot of options...you'd think....its not exactly a stacked room over there. Hopefully he comes back ASAP!!

Looks like he lost 30 lbs. Will CFL teams throw open the bank vault for Arbuckle?? Really not his fault for the Argos being 3-8. You know how long it takes to drive from Calgary to Regina in a Combine? If Rider fans left right after the game, they'd be home on Wednesday.
