Bo Levi Mitchell's first ever start was against the Bombers in 2013. 22/25 for 376 yards, 3 TD 0 INT. I'll never forget that one.

Defensive line, linebacker was only done due to signifcant injury to Bighill last year, offensive line... and it's not that development time was wasted on specific people, it was a lack of future planning in those areas.

Yeah Maas had stupid completions in a row twice! Sad thing is Marcus Howell was probably one of the better dbs dressed in those days.

Some people choose to I'll say this about Tui....He was WIDE open last game.

I think that was more than one game... They were in for a a few games. I believe that's the time when we basically had no DC, and Doug Brown said they were playing sandlot and making it up on the field.

Yup very hard to watch when a third string inexperienced rookie has the time to comfortably go thru his reads.

That was the Marcus Howell+Geoff Drover secondary game was it not? Horrible Times.

I just really hope our D can create pressure and the secondary doesn’t give a massive cushion. I can’t stand watching us allow an inexperienced QB sit back and get comfortable making easy throws.

I believe it was 2005... I can vividly remember listening to CJOB in the house I was living in at the time in Dauphin.... I remember pacing around the living room.

how the hell is Shawn Lemon still in the league? I hate how TSN won't even bring up that the dude was suspended for gambling on CFL games. Sports is in so deep with the gambling biz, it's ******* vile. Ok, bitching aside, go bombers!

22 straight completions I think

I know exactly where I was and what I was doing when that happened. Probably the all time worst Bombers defense in my lifetime... Bob Irving sounded so displeased calling that game...

Yes and look at how he has produced....oh wait....14.5 yds per game says we had a reason for leaving him off. Mitchell is just another really bad offseason signing by Walters...but at least he was one that made it through camp. Got any, you know, names? Because I'm not seeing any young NAT DTs being left off the roster. I'd love for JT, Shmek, and Korny to be replaced by young NAT DT studs. Give Walters a call, the cupboards are bare. It was either him or Zack Davis from the Rifles as NAT DT insurance. Can't blame the coaches for their choice of Korny....can absolutely blame Walters for putting the coaches in a no win situation though. I know you are critical of Walters as well, just pointing out that a lot of what we are seeing stems from a very poor past 2 offseasons by our GM. In a Grey Cup hosting year, his best signing was Sterns. Let that sink in.

You do realize that you don't necessarily draft guys for immediate insertion into the lineup right? Sure they could take the 5 or so snaps that Gauthier has had this year, but is this really the kind of development you are talking about? What if these rookies cost us games? Is that a smart development strategy? This isn't hockey where you have 82 games a year with many of them meaningless to get guys some time. We are not in a position in the standings to be developing rookies in game. Any rookie that is going to get regular playing time will have to do so by being better than the person they are replacing or through necessity. It's kind of silly to be pining for rookie playing time when we are currently playing for our playoff lives. The goal right now is to win, not develop players for next year. Won't cost us games? We just won/lost our last 2 games by FGs. A rookie making a rookie mistake can definitely cost us a game. Would I like to see our young guys get some time when a game is out of reach? yep. We are likely playing tightly contested games for the majority of this season though. What roles have we been poor at turning over? Who are the guys we wasted development time on? Name them.

Didn’t Maas nail us once with a 90% passing game?

I was just about getting over this then Arbuckle shows up.

I'd say worst in league at it

we literally are talking out our asses You, sir, are a medical marvel....

I am certain that quarterbacks live in fear of him.

Part of maintaining a good roster is knowing when to turn over certain roles, and this team is bad at it. They did too little too late and wasted a couple development years clinging to rapidly aging stars while not having appropriate backups seasoning behind them.

Because we feel a certain way about the coaches most certainly does not mean the players feel the same as well. We are fans, we literally are talking out our asses There is no absolute way to determine the attitude of players towards the coach or coaches, but you do not have to be a chicken to tell if an egg is rotten. What is obvious to us yahoos in this forum about roster management and the repeated fielding of poor players while potentially better replacements (I'm looking at you, Thomas and Kolankowski), and getting embarrassed repeatedly has to be infuriating to players who care. Having your nose rubbed in it gets old real fast.

But will call 2-3 phantom PI on the Bombers.

Thank God.

Old JT...The QB killer

… and the refs will conveniently miss it 😕
