I'm hoping they're gone and we can discuss replacements.

Disasterous status for both seasons.

Perhaps so, but the fates of Thomas and Kolankowski are inextricably entwined with the fate of the 2026 Bombers and fan confidence, not to mention game attendance, so it is stil a live grenade.

Sir, yes sir.

Are you guys really going to whine about Kolo and Jake all off season? There's nothing new to say folks.

AND they're both in the trenches where control of the lines is paramount to help facilitate everything else to be successful. It's maddening cuz it makes everyone else's job more challenging.

Shitty Jake is just sad to watch..and makes others have to work harder and be less impactful Shittier kolo effects whole offence pretty much and when others have to work harder it at times takes them away also from their actual responsibilities...so a huge ripple effect...not to mention the QB needing to constantly keep one eye up the middle and not getting to see and read the whole field...a bad center...is the one position you don't want your worst slug

Dam straight. And with our Jets right now, it’s like we have two off seasons going.

It’s not just what they give up…It’s what they fail to provide.

Can a mod kindly remove all the justice system talk?

Yeah I know when I click bomber offseason news I’m secretly wanting to read about people’s thoughts on the American penal system and their views on justice…

We're still waiting for Osh to name his OC & coaching staff for next season. As well as free agency. Not much else going om.

the forum is right into prime off season mode. no rust around here. we going 1-0 each day derailing all the threads and having the same discussion in 4 different threads when any thing happens. No soft start for us, we going for the ship this off season.

Not really. Discussing what happened with Dillon Mitchell. People have opinions & we share them even if we agree to disagree. It's relevant although it isn't football.

They had no brain but that never stopped them. Lol.

Wow this thread got derailed in a bad way.

The success rates in the US penal system are very low. The longer people are incarcerated, the more their sense of social connection, like skills and integration detreiorate and more "normal" becomes warped. In Sweden, Norway and Holland, they are closing jails as a result of emphasizing rehabilitiation rather than punishment. It takes a shift in the justice system but it pays off in financial as well as societal ways.

Maybe, maybe not. There are cases of inmates in the US having success when they got out. Most reoffend, though. Most are career criminals who can't hold down regular jobs or integrate with others. They just know one kind of life. It's the same here. Jails are govr t responsibilities & i believe that the numbetrs of inmates who reoffend after time spent in Headingley or Stoney Mtn is probably similar. My wife's cousin was a former guard at Stoney Mountain. He said they've had their share of Americansup here & imprisned for doing bad things. American gang bangers, drug dealers, murderers, etc, Most of these tough SOB's don't want anything to do with any First Nations inmates. They were afraid of them.

I suggest that Kolankowski is an even biggesr liabiity. Thomas just gives up yardage., but Kolankowski gives up free runs at our QBs.

That would depend on your definition of justice. I have had some experience with the American penal/justice system and can tell you that there is very little attempt at rehabilitation- only incarceration in an often brutal system. Their recidivism rate is the highest of any western industiralized country despite having the longest incarceration rates. Most American jails are privately owned and run and rehab programs are detriments to the bottom line- profits. The longer someone is in jail, the greater the likelihood they will re-offend.

Too much pressure on Toews after being out so long...move namesy back to second line center and move Jt back to fourth line,give him time to find his game again.

That's for sure.

32 shots against. 14 for. Sad. Toews and Lowry would make good 3 and 4 centres. Perfetti Names Chibrikov or make a move and get some top 6 help. Sherwood in Vancouver for lambert would be nice. Dude adds skill and grit. They ain’t winning with Helle these past 3 4 games either. Need some youth. They are old and slow outside of line 1 Josh Elias and samberg. I like Barron on line 2 also. Maybe you trade for Kadri even. He’s still very good. Some talk they made him and offer and it was down to Calgary and us in the end and he picked or wife picked Calgary.

The 2nd line needs to change and it can’t involve Toews. Try Barron, Perfetti and Iaffalo…. Or call up Chibrikov. No more Pearson and Namestnikov. Milic has been hung out to dry. Feel bad for him. He’s been solid. And shoot the friggin puck. 33 shots in the last 2 games…. And we’re not scoring…. Hmmmmm….. Guys like Namestnikov are allergic to shooting.

In a span of 40.secs we lose the game. This team needs people other Schiefele Connor Vilardi to score. 4 straight losses. Chevy needs to start thinking of moves now.
