  1. Past hour
  2. No, that's just straight puking... I never got thru all the episodes. What a disappointment. They should have followed up the careers of Harvey, Mike, Rachel & Louis in Seattle, That's what fans wanted. Instead we got something else that never even resembled the original show. It might have worked if it had a different title.
  3. Osh writes his depth chart in pen before camp even opens. The lack of competition is at a point where it's hurting the team badly now that the superstars are aging fast.
  4. The minds should be saying, "We need to be better" & go with that.
  5. we good....thats why...well in the minds that are in control of this
  6. actually....we recognized they were caught in player changing and ran a quick play before they were really set ...let alone realized where Wheatfall was.....was that a Miller call....or did Strev and Wheatfall adlib?....If I recall Wheatfall was out wide calling for pass as he saw the ticat guys racing to get set up @DTonOB maybe you can find that out for us
  7. It's pretty noticeable how inactive we are compared to other teams in this aspect, if you look at the CFL transaction page or the social media account that tracks neg list changes. The Bombers show up there way less than other teams so it gives the impression we are satisfied with who they have (or who they want to have, in the case of the neg list players).
  8. HC relays to scouting team what he wants....and what he likes...they go and "try" to find that Then it's up to HC to assess and build the best lineup with what he was given...and key word....asked for. HC also keeps and cuts the players....not the G.M and he seems to like to keep less then the best guys based on his metrics in what he thinks is the best. He in my opinion values some things way more than he should in some cases and it's not a natter of talent that wins the decision in his mind...it's been quite apparent really He also doesnt really give the backups any real work during the season to get acclimated to the pro game...develop...and or show they just may not have it...and move on and bring new blood in during the season....and then when season gets to the dawg days...he just walks out injured guy after injured guy because our back-ups...or guys we carried on the PR (guys who are there just for that...injury replacement/underperforming guys/development) have zero experience...they have zero belief in them....even tho he says they all #1's and are in building because if they have to step in give us a chance to win......and well...here we are...3 cup losses in a row due to poor roster and poor coaching....under .500....and have arguably the worst depth in the league Fact of matter the G.M hasnt been G.M'ing like he should have been....why...who knows...is Osh given too much say?...who knows...may appear as so...Buddy buddy relationship too isn't ideal....Maybe he doesn't have it in him to get on his H.C.....Or maybe he knows that he not coming back next yr and really doesn't give a hoot....so no urgency?....who knows....But changes need to be made regardless where did we utilize any cap space to strengthen an area?...we spent nothing really on anything new, and where we did grab a possible differene maker...he cant get on the roster as he behind a couple of Osh's Boi's
  9. Other teams are bringing in cuts to push their players already there. Most won't sign for this year but teams have a chance to evaluate & sign them to training camp contracts next year. Except us, so far. Why can't Osh create an atmosphere of competition at practice where only the best have a chance of playing? Push the guys already here even harder. Make the vets worry about their jobs so they practice & play eveen harder. There's a feeling of laissez faire with this team. Do you think Cal Murphy or Ray Jauch would stand pat with this team?
  10. To be fair, it's only a handful of people who don't know how to "change the channel". I get being frustrated. I get being disappointed. I get wanting change. Posting the same stuff in every thread, ad nauseum, gets REALLY REALLY old. If can take anything positive away from that it's that apathy hasn't set in and these fans are still passionate enough about the Bombers to express themselves.
  11. Curious that this offseason the same thought process went though two teams at the opposite ends of the western conference The elks with Gino Lewis (Ed Hervey with his there are no superstars in cfl, no reciever is worth that), and us with the decision to go cheaper and utilize that cap space to strengthen elsewhere. In our case it blew up in a lot of ways, turns out Lawler is proving hes worth it and the free agent moves we did of a bunch of midlevel players had 0 impact. Had we utilized that cap space for an impact player on d, or even to retain Dobson or Ford - but hindsight is 50/50 as is the fact that OShea/Walters failed badly and its showing in results
  12. He deserves to be honoured absolutely but he also deserves to be replaced. After nearly 13 years, the same message doesn't carry the same weight.
  13. Walters but Osh may be saying to him, "No we're good. We have schoen coming back & he's cheaper". I'd blame them both. Just a gross misjudgement of talent. Zach Schnitzer said that he thinks the loss of Ted Goveia to Hamilton this past off season really messed up the front office. He could be right. RIP, Ted.
  14. Is not having viable options on Osh or Walters? I would say more on Walters and the scouting staff.
  15. Today
  16. What a nice thing to say. It was completely torn as was the ACL. PCL & MCL along with torn cartillage. All told, I had 3 surgeries on that knee & while each surgery may have alleviated the symptoms, it always returned to what it was before. Pain, chronic selling & not being able to function so I had to use a cane to walk at 55. Finally, surgically repairing the knee was no longer an option. When i went down a flight of stairs towards the end before the knee was replaced, I had to hold the handrail & walk down backward. I could no longer walk the dog or play golf. I suffered with that knee for many years. I even had to give up fishing as I was unable to get in & out of boat & risked losing my balance & falling. believe you're so cold blooded you'd say that to me but then why should I be surprised. FYI, three surgeons all confirmed to replace the knee. The first surgeon waned me to wait until I got into my 60's as i was 55 when I was first referred to a spcialist. Eventually, he did put me on his waiting list at the Alberta Hip & Knee Clinic bit he suddenly died while I was on the waiting list. Another surgeon took over my late surgeon's medical cases & said he was aghast at what he saw with a knee joint full of arthritis. He said the knee xray was one of the worst he ever saw in 25 years as a surgeon & he was anxious to help me. He asked me how I functioned "without a viable knee?" I just said that I I do. He was the one I decided to go with for the surgery as I trusted him. A very nice man who put me at ease right away. He was actually the third & last surgeon I saw. In between, the second surgeon who I went to see confirmed the same diagnosos but I never liked him, He was arrogant & stand offish. He was at another orthpedic clinic. He made me feel like he was doing me a favour Just granting me an appointment. He had very little bedside manner which I didn't appreciate. Any way, the same doctor who did my left from Alberta Hip & Knee also did my right 3 years apart. Pain now gone. Still a challenge to get around but my quality of life is so much better. Until you live with pain everyday you have no idea what it's like... There, am I educated enough for you? Or do I have to have my legs amputated to satisfy whatever naive attitudes you have about long term injuries & chronic pain? Again, many thanks for your sympathy & empathy. Sure, Schoen has to take responsiblity. It's their life. They're wired differently than you & I & sometimes don't make great decisions. That's when the adult in the room has to say ENOUGH! & shut them down Osh ddn't do that. You don't think the coach panicked when he realized he had no viable CFL receivers besides Demski & what appears to be a marginal pro in Wheatfall against the Stamps? All that off season planning that went awry. It was a panic move.
  17. I guess Schoen takes no responsibility what so ever cuz he’s a child right. Honestly. It’s pro sports.
  18. He's only a differemnce maker if he's healthy. He wasn't, Osh knew his knee was badly injured & still played him, Now, he may never recover to be close to what he was on the field. It was a stupid decision in a long line of stupid Osh personnel decisions.
  19. You guys behave. Too funny...but yea...I never though about that so carry on.
  20. Osh does have a history of doing that. However, in this case I think it was the right decision to play him and it turned out badly. How it goes sometimes in pro sports. A player like Schoen is a difference maker when he is in the lineup. If the AT says he's good, player says he's good, practice says he's good, then you play him and that's what we did. He put in a full practice the week before he played and they tested him on all routes to see. He must have looked good. His stat line in the game looked good as well and he made some nice plays prior to OT.
  21. https://deadline.com/2025/09/robert-redford-dead-89-1236545217/ Well Ordinary People is in my PVR at least now I have an excuse to watch (though I already saw Out of Africa a few weeks ago...and The Natural)
  22. My daughter was reading his books last year and prior. He will be missed but his legacy will live on. I guess not RIP yet but hopefully sooner than later I suppose.
  23. and I was real lucky to have attended a performance the one time he did Kids Fest in 2001
  24. The guy is (was) a legend for childrens books. I remember reading them with my parents when I was really young and then doing the same with my kids when they were smaller. His works are timeless.
