Team says it's just an error on the transaction wire.

You might consider switching to decaf.

dad?

Not trying to be an ass, just clarifying what your position is on MOS. You think he should be fired. That's your opinion and you are welcome to it. Just so that it is clear to me, and everyone else, what the motivation for your criticism is, I do not feel Osh is the sole reason for our success at all, far from it. I just feel we would not be able to upgrade on him and I feel he and Walters have done an excellent job together in building quality football teams. If you think MOS's time has expired with our team, that certainly is a possibility. I just don't believe that a coach necessarily has an expiry date. I believe players do and that the coach needs to recognize that, but I also can see the logic in a coach being loyal to guys and how that can help the locker room and recruitment/retention. Either way it's a balancing act for sure, but one that can be maintained even if the scale tips one way or the other occasionally. At the end of the day, the players still speak glowingly of him, play very hard and disciplined for him, and the culture and locker room is strong. I guess I'm not seeing the end of the road yet, as you are. That's not me being chicken little or in denial, that's just my opinion based off results year over year. You see some mistakes he is making and think they outweigh the positives, I see mistakes he is making and think they do not outweigh the positives, there really is no definitive winner of this argument. It's solely opinion on both our parts and we are both entitled to them is all I'm saying. Neither of us can prove each other wrong, nor do I feel the need to do so on my part. You will bring up the negatives of MOS, I will bring up the positives, it's the ying and the yang of this forum's discussion about him I guess.

I read that twice before I didn't see "socks and gotch".

I'm so old socks and underwear are all I really want for Christmas...

OKAY I HEAR YOU AND YES THE RIDERS DO SUCK. GREAT POST . . .

Yup.... the 2nd X game and the opener against the Als, really kicked of our season, alright......some of the most pathetic stuff, this ole timer, had seen for awhile.... Matty (and the ole OB Football Hotline) were awesome)

Him and Wilson can share an Uber back up...neither will stick

Old man shouting to the clouds?

we could do a hell of a lot worse than Jones/Jones/Ayers/Wilson as a group of 4...an athletic and active group...not overly concerned there really tho a legit thumper in the middle would have been ideal....but a nice group to go into camp with in addition to new prospects

I legit get socks and scotch, every year.

We need to root out these heretics.

Search the forum...there may be more like him!

Sask could challenge for first? Mods please ban this man.

That exclusive negotiating window sure is coming in handy i’m sure Kenny Lawler will be signing with us any moment eh

right now we have zero proven depth on our Oline....none...and we dont even know who is at right guard....we weaker than last yr and how is that even possible? One of Eli and Wallace will grab a spot.....and or be the extra oline guy...and thats factoring Kolo at center...which is still a weak spot...3 yrs running now...If Eli is allowed to compete for Center and take it over Kolo isnt even a good candidate for the 6th giy as he is only serviceable at center....and thats being generous.....if someone was to go down we would have to shuffle other guys on the oline to make it work....and I have a shiiity feeling we gonna have to waste a DA on an import olineman this yr unless we go with a straight outta University guy Again hamstringing our roster with a useless DA like we did with Mr Marine...... Dline much the same...we have 2 ends who we know can play....thats it....2 promising interior guys who we know are gonna be getting reps taken away by drip and drop Canadians.....sure we have Lawson back which helps, but anyone with half a brain and knows the man love Osh has for Thomas that he gonna get more than too many reps in lieu of him...Our dline as much as many claim that Haba and Garbutt and Fox were no loss...is a lot weaker Not sure what the plan is, but to me looks like there wasnt much of one and we didnt pursue anyone to shore up our lines.....or.....we lost out on players not named Ceresna because they flat out didnt wanna come here....or.....Osh indicated to Walters that " we good"...I leaning more to the "we good" side until proven otherwise after camp and maybe he makes the tough cuts

When you look at ZC stats from last season he's very comparable to Dru Brown and Jake Maier (not very good) but Zach makes $600k/per. Even Rourke had his fat deal in BC renegotiated to be more team friendly but you don't hear that happening in 'Peg. Walters is hamstrung by his overpay at QB. You can't overpay for mediocre QB play. I say this is one of the MBB forumites who wanted to keep Brown over Collaros as it was evident to some -even in '23- that ZC was in decline.

Ford is the real deal imo. Just hard to justify spending a lot on that position...especially field side. Good luck to him just not against us.

McEwen would have been a nice get. We need a NAT OL. Dobson is no loss to our starting calibre of play but hurts our depth because Wallace will be a starter now.

In fairness most teams this year have not signed "big time players" outside the two teams who were the worst last year. I assume teams like Toronto have faith in the ability to recruit rather then blow the money on free agents.

You need to capitalize and bolden these too, so people can hear you.

you sound like the guy who said Hamilton was going to win the GC in 2024 a year ago. lol. What's with the all caps/bold font?

Technically he has been more active this year, because he didn't even answer his phone during the previous two FA periods.

They don't though... Not the best OL or QB room by a mile. It is a really good move, not too surprising. They try to buy an OL every year basically.

Is Kyle sitting on his wallet or what? Fringe Canadians and guys on their way back from injury - seems like that's all we can sign. Is there any big fish remaining? I'm not seeing it.

You are welcome to your opinion, and who knows you might be right. If we regress this season, I may join you in this opinion. Just not willing to do so yet as we have won our division 5 straight years.

We did add by subtraction in a couple areas but that wasn't contingent on FA really.

yeah...kinda agree...for a GM who said had money to spend...I just dont see where we went and did something exponentially better than what we had ...I like Mitchell if he meets that potential....and Jones was very very solid...and Logan I think may be our most impactful pick up....other than than....a lot of ...meh...whatev's signings and some that need a question mark answered to be considered a solid pick up....Gonna put a lot of hope in that our new scouting dept brings in some gems...we have access now to a different pipeline and connection base, so hopefully it reaps rewards other than Returner/Offensive change of pace guy and Jones....I having a hard time really seeing where we really upgraded anywhere significantly....and actually as it currently stands are weaker in a few areas.....

i'm wearing wool socks i got for xmas right now. If our FA additions are a good as these socks we're in good shape.

You've changed man, you used to be cool.

I think Walters may have set expectations higher than normal by saying they'd be more active this year. It hasn't really worked out that way - at least as far as big name FA's are concerned.

With the exception of Logan, a lot of the signings announced yesterday feel like getting a bunch of Christmas presents that are nothing but socks and underwear.

Moved to retired. We still had his rights? Iirc he was drafted in 21 and had a bad injury. Think he came back for a camp another year and was cut. I don’t think he was in camp last year. I’ll be happy to have ayers if he’s back. I’d love to see Ayers and Jon jones on the field together.

What did you expect. It seems like perhaps your expectations were the problem. Everything the bombers do is a huge let down to a few of you so again, outside of doing exactly what you want them to (it’s not gonna happen) what can they do where don’t actually complain always. Just curious cuz seems it don’t matter what they do, you had a few others always complain. I mean I wouldn’t listen to ppl who are never satisfied with anything. Why would the bombers.

Thanks DT

Based on how it’s reading on the transaction report, it’s for the NFL which means we still retain his CFL rights

I attribute our poor start as a result of a wasted pre season and training camp. I really hope this year the team takes it seriously and doesn't **** around a-gain.

The Alouettes make the addition of Shawn Oakman official. A Justin Dunk report is money in the bank. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have re-signed Canadian receiver Brendan O’Leary-Orange, who posted a career-high 335 yards after joining the team last season. Well.........Not my ideal news....lol.....

No to Chung. Dude is more washed than BA and Bighill. Just fell off a cliff

Rosters always look weaker when you lose players to free agency and they don't get replaced by other free agents. Bottom line this teams improvements will come mainly from young players improving and new recruits stepping up. Free agency is headline grabbing and can be used to bolster some areas of need, but to maintain a winning team you must be able to replace people through your recruiting/drafting.

oh watch what you say...tuggers gnna attack

I can't see how our roster isn't worse than last year at the moment.

Thanks for showing up Migs. Been awhile. How did you hack auzzstriker's account?

one down one to go! I believe in you!

OHHH THAT'S GOOD LMFAO

I, along with many others in bomberland will be watching closely...I have a bad feeling, after seeing so many departures in free agency, and seeing what has been brought on board...Certainly we have picked up some talent BUT will it be enough to perpetuate the winning ways we have been accustomed to....Sure hope so.... the jury is out

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Riders sign Mcewen

These sorts are absent now and sorely missed. I listened to British post-soccer game comments when the home team lost- little short of of vicious.
