All Activity

I get that reference.

This series could have been epic but it goes out like a whimper in Season 5 with just 6 episodes.

Happy New Year to all.

On our way to watch Tyler play Idaho State & Dixie State back in 2014. My wife & I took 2 weeks vacay & went all over the Western US, including the Grand Canyon & a few days in Vegas. It was 92 F in St. George, Utah when he played Dixie State. I was Facebook friends with Lyle Bauer. He had a winter home in St. George. He used to talk about it. Had a chopper he brought down with him. He loved hitting the road with that bike.

Most players have quick feet at that level. That's nothing new.

holms biggest issue in all that would be drills vs nfl wrs. Even though he wouldn’t be asked to run bump n cover, he’d have to spend a lot of time early in camp just doing 1on1s. and his lack of physicality would be exposed and look even worse than normal. Nfl wrs get off is every thing. They are used to very tight spaces too. Holm is used to space, longer slower throws, and not getting tosses if he’s fairly close. If he could adapt to sticking tighter to wrs then using that burst for knock downs he’d be able to cover up his lack of physicality. He doesn’t need to win at the line with his jump.

Taylor, he was an even more ridiculous athlete than holm. We do really like athletic outliers at db under jy. Db is our fastest and biggest collection of athletes every year. The couple of former nfl guys we had in camp this year were crazy too, and 6’ plus. I’ll also throw in woodbey as the single greatest athletic outlier on the team today. He has excellent run/jump tools to the point he could cover any spot on the field. but he’s also 6’2 235 with the strength and physicality to excel at wil/mac in the cfl. If biggie had his measurables he never would’ve played a down in the CFL. This kid 100% should be playing S or sam in the nfl. I love watching him cover area and wrs like a db, then just monster guys physically when the ball is in play. He ate ol and big blockers lunch on a ton of plays in the run game last year. S, Sam, Wil, Mac, Dhb, you could play him at most positions. He could probably pass rush from the edge in a pinch if you needed. Not just an athlete either, that guy is a tough ass football player. I’ve got very high expectations for him this coming year.

People underrating holm. He’d fit in with what Pittsburgh does quite well. Personally I think he’s our best option at safety.

With a win we are 31st in the league and is it 6 or 8 points out of the playoffs lol. That’s ridiculous in itself. Only a few points back of the wildcard teams. I don’t think we can compete with Dallas Colorado or Minnesota anymore. We need a franchise changer to do it.

Bédard not being chosen maybe due to his health makes sense but 55 who is a first line dominator in the best league in the world makes me think someone’s personal opinion is trumping logic.

I’ll say this. Colorado wasn’t awful then they were one year and won MacKinnon. McKenna and any of the top 3 4 5 talent this draft improves our team instantly. There’s the silver lining. McKenna would be franchise changing. id like to see us move on from Pearson Nyquist schenn miller and even Toews but I’m not sure what we getting in return for any of them. I mean. None are returning 1sts id move them for what I can get, maybe Nino and names available also but ya bring up the kids and maybe make a trade involving lambert for a nhl forward if possible lambert has sucked tho

I just don’t get the logic. Marchand Stone Horvat and Wilson is just insane. I remember when we took the best players and dominated. Now they building lines and having roles for lesser talented slow players. 55 and Bédard not making it is just it’s stupidity. Point makes some sense. Cirelli don’t.

The true sign the tank is on...we sign Patrice Cormier...

This.

I don't ask for much, but I'd like to ask for this...

I could see Holm at least getting through a training camp and likely a season on a practice roster.

Happy New Year to all of you. May 2026 bring a Blue Bombers Grey Cup victory and a dismal season for the Saskatchewan RoughRiders.

Or if you currently play for the Lightening.

yeah, the 2024-2025 Jets turning out to be a mirage was a giant bummer.

hell, I am blind to most of the subtleties of football and even I can see that Holm is a ludicrous athlete. Can't think of another Bomber DB past or present with his maneuverability. Holm to me is kind of like "what if Charles Roberts grew a couple of inches and played DB?" Good luck to him with his shot. Rod Black had Sticky -- MBB has Holm. (mods feel free to delete this terrible post)

Winnipeg Sports fans had a tough year, the Bombers had their first Off year in nearly a decade (and at the worst possible timing), the Goldeyes had another bad year, Sea Bears I don't remember much but I don't think they made the playoffs, Valor FC folded, the Moose Stank and despite making it to round 2 of the playoffs the Jets lost their footing the following season Let's hope our Olympic Hockey Team and our World Cup team is ready to Kick ass

2025 was a slog for me you guys, and not just as a Bomber fan. But I'm looking forward to 2026. May the new orbit bring you all good fortune.

May the Big Blue...be new

No one is giving up that I see, maybe the fair weather fans, but I think it’s a reasonable expectation that our team has high expectations every year and using this year as an example, if things aren’t working, what’s happening to correct the situation?
