I don’t even think that’s wheatfall is streaky, he’s off way too frequently for that. he’s a guy who the lights come on for occasionally and the rest of the time is bleh at best. The guy had one big game last year, largely on one big catch, another good game on one big catch, and this year one big game and one good game based on one big catch. That’s 4 good +/- games based largely on 3 catches, in 21 starts. If you take away his 3 biggest catch and runs, dude has no career. Hes a poor mans chris brazzell

Wynton mcmanis lol, and when he was healthy he stole half his reps. Their other lber was pickett, aka the two best lbers in the cfl in the last 5+ years. and Jjones took reps and starts from them. Woodbey isn’t being used like jones and didn’t pass him on the depth chart. woodbey is being used as a db. He could be used as a wil like that but isn’t. Does any one think that Tony jones or kyrie would steal reps/starts from mcmannis or pickett on any other team in the league?

If we keep Walters expect another useless off season of non signings & defections. Not much of a risk to trade for Mauldin. He'd have helped us for a playoff run. We could have had the guy for a fourth rounder. Now we lose Jones. Walters has to go.

Same for Zach. The play by play announcer for the Ti Cats back in 1972-75 is a member of my Facebook page CFL History. Ealey was a very good passer until he came to Winnipeg. He told me that Ealey suffered a shoulder/arm injury in 1973 before he was traded to the Bombers. The Ti Cats kept it a secret so when the Bombers traded Don Jonas for Ealey they never knew of the injury. It took him over 2 years to recover so he was just about healed up when he was traded to Toronto a year later. It would explain why Ealey played so badly as a Blue Bomber. You'd think the Bombers would have done a physical so I don't know why Ealey's injury was never discovered. Then again, the GM at the time Earl Lunsford was so upset with Jonas criticizing him in the media at the time. I think Lunsford would never have voided that trade & just didn't care. Out of spite Lunsford wanted him out of Winnipeg.

Laura Diakin is a much more superior host. She's a true professional who seems to understand the game better than Kate. She should be the full time host.

My concern is what the hell did the gm and coach talk about going into the offseason? Guys we drafted get no defensive snaps either. Just bizarre what's happening

I’m just irritated with yet another terrible handling of free agency dollars. Sign a guy to decent money, healthy scratch (aka pay him against the cap to do nothing) and then move him to the PR where we definitely also still paid his full salary and then cut him for the playoff run. What the hell was the overall plan for this guy?

While I don't think Wheatfall is useless, I do see that he has been a bit streaky. We let Lawler go in the off-season, and for the first half of the season this looked like an epic mistake, especially since we heard the difference was a few 10k. Then O. Wilson came back, and he has made an impact. And let's not forget Mitchell - held off the roster for how many games? Because he came to camp out of shape, or something like this - coaches know way more than us so gotta respect their decisions, but can still complain that he wasn't getting in to the line-up. I sure was wondering why he didn't crack it for so long. But now, he's coming on and making plays. Maybe, just maybe, Osh and the coaches know what they are doing and did the right thing in holding him out long enough. Stearns - I haven't followed him enough to have a take, but it sure seems this receiving corp is coming together. And just when Zach is back, and finding his 2019 form... (Okay, that last one was a flyer - he seriously looked back to 2019 form on Saturday, but it is one game, so I know that is a stretch. Still, it's a stretch that I can hope for and get behind!)

When the NHL is on, yes.

Bret’s such a whiner now. anyways. 3 stars lol 1. Zach - I mean that was his best game in a while . I like that if something isn’t there he doesn’t force it now. He’s managing the game better. Plus almost 400 passing. 2. Brady. He’s our MOP. He’s probably the MOP of the league in reality. Legit dual threat on pace for 2000 combined yards. Prob won’t make it but gonna be close and he missed 2 games 3. Houston and or Lawson Jr. Kenny was invisible.

Unfortunate about Jones but with Woodbey Shay smith and the starters I’m not sure I see the spot for him. Linebackers have been good.

Meh he was good in Toronto, lost his job there, couldn’t crack a spot here, it’s not like there wasn’t an opportunity here to some degree because Younger likes using several linebackers in his schemes. Woodbrey who started lower on the pecking order surpassed Jones over time and just had an outstanding game.

so sad, such a complete waste free agency was. I believe we brought in some talent, but just wasted it. wtf do you even bring in Jjones when you have tjones/kyrie and won’t play him if either stays healthy? We have ayers and the canadians too. Even Woodbey, who could play wil mac or all the db spots. More teams are going towards canadian lbers and tweeners at lbers and it’s becoming a less and less critical position. That said, I think Woodbey is exactly what teams should be looking for at one of the two lber spots especially at mac. Just like how biggie gave our Ds soo much versatility being able to pick guys up and carry deep. He’d be great at sam, or as a full time Wil. If, we don’t waste him.

Yeah hard to imagine Dieter only passing 8 times in a game lol...

Just pisses me off.

What a waste

My guess would be Hamilton. They just released a linebacker.

See who signs him for the stretch run

Likely wanted to be freed from here and said no more..he won't be teamless long

https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/29/kpmg-playoff-probability-which-team-is-the-grey-cup-favourite/ Bombers favoured to win the cup in this model for some reason. Also better than even chance to host a playoff game. Looks like they expect Calgary to be the cross over team

I’d try to trade for Addison just as playoff insurance in case a WR or 2 get nicked up. He can do the stuff out of the backfield that Demski does and would be capable of covering any spot in the WR corps. Better than getting thinned out and having to use a guy like Corcoran in the playoffs.

They’d trade FAs who are coming up and might not resign, and places they want to spend more or less. That said, the last guy they are trading is brown. He’s young fairly cheap and locked up on multi years. I do wonder what’s up with elgersma. I thought he’d be up here if not getting an nfl pr spot. It isn’t coming this year for him now. Id be down with that for sure.

Why not get Crum? Ottawa would be more likely let him go as he is only signed for this season. He'd be great insurance if needed.
