I really can’t see any way to positively spin our offseason. Jon Jones and Dillon Mitchell getting paid nearly 300k to be healthy scratches while we watch Lawler tear it up is a tough one.

Every roster move for this forum is like that girl in Grade 10 who broke up with you but didn't even touch your wiener anyways. Some of us moved on.

Someone needs to step up today, and Zach needs to have a much better game. LFG!!!!!!!

Best i can do is lots of Kornelson Thomas and schmekel

Edge rusher Warren Peeples is on the Bombers neg list... we're all always saying we need more Peeples and one new Person on the DL...

Great game. Classic CFL drama. That's a game you could put on ESPN Classics in a decade. I love this league. Arbuckle looked Grey Cup worthy for three quarters. Spieker needs to buy the entire Als D cheeseburgers and I hope Davis Alexander sits down until that hammie is sound. When I saw him tuck it and explode towards the endzone I knew he was gonna come up lame. Dude has a real powerful burst tho, I didn't know he was that fast. board needs a "Go CFL" reaction for games like this.

do we reclaim first? Keys to win....coaching do your job...be it player usage...adjustments...coaching with some brass balls , utilizing rules afforded to you....yanking guys who have turned up the suck....do your damn job Let the defence loose upfront with your best athletes and bring the heat BO....Nuff said as our receivers are not gonna be a difference maker unless 2015 ZC shows up

Their record after a bye is damned good and a break won't make the old farts worse. I'm expecting a much different game than last time.

Another example of what makes the CFL great.

That's what posters here that you were arguing with were saying that personnel decisions & the management of our cap is puzzling with the decisions made. We're not disloyal to question just WTH is going on. This has been a long time thing with Osh as he plays favourites. We get rid of guys who could still contribute like Lawler & let players walk in free agency. Then not replacing them.

Win it for Milt.

Dustin and GG calling tonight's game. Hopefully that means it's Lapo doing the Bomber game tomorrow.

Calgary averaged 12.3 yards per completion. We averaged 6. In the cfl you need that atleast around 8-10. Calgary had 4 players with atleast 1 big play. We had 1 big ish play and it was from Brady. Brady was our 3rd leading wr. Schoen and wheatfall combined to go 5/13 for 55 yards. I didn’t see zach missing guys in running open either. Zach needs to be better, the play call needs to be better, and the WRs need to be better. I think it starts and ends with hogan. We didn’t adjust to Calgary taking way the deep shot, or how they blanketed the under stuff. A lot of shallow flood concept and similar. Not much pa, seam busters, timing routes, etc. We need to force some bad decisions from vaj. That isn’t gonna happen if he’s un disrupted, un pressured and facing a predictable game plan. Lawson and adams can create disruption. I’d love to see them on the field with person for some reps. Put em with either end, preferably who ever is more fresh.

Keys to the game, OL play. Vanterpool at LT is going to be a big change. It’s a tall order to keep zach clean with out big stan. But should help the run game. big plays. Calgary killed us quickly and early with big plays, while we checked down and took yards short of the first. We need to flip that around today. Ball security. From bobbling returns to tossing picks we gotta do a better job of protecting the rock. players to watch, person, vanterpool, case, Brady, bridges, vaval, zach, and Demski.

Kody Case legacy game.

Gonna have to ride BO until the wheels fall off tonight...That offensive group of receivers will strike no fear in anyione and it will be easy for stamps to basically eliminate our 2 best threats...and ZC cant be his hit or miss self...he needs to be ZC circa 2019-early 2022 or be sat down and or spelled off for multiple series a game and get Strev more acclimated.... And seeing we have 3 ends...real ends....and a more than capable Adams and Lawson we need to see them let loose...attacking and in heavy rotation...if Jake never saw the field we would look better than we have in yrs

Argos look good. Nice to see Milt back on the panel.

That’s awesome thanks! Have to keep an eye on transactions. Maybe he’s headed here. Hopefully not some UFL or arena league.

Lapo is doing the colour.

This thread is officially derailed by bitching about bitching. Game time can’t come soon enough.

You're already posting daily in every topic. Go for hourly, or every fifteen minutes. That's how I'll know you'll mean it.

I get bitching about the Bombers in bomber threads -- can't police that or draw bright lines there -- but the second comment in the Als / Argos game thread was just Booch going off on MOS out of nowhere. Dude, we get it, you don't like how the team is managed. You post here multiple times daily saying the same goddamn thing over and over again. I think you can consider your point made. I don't think anyone at MBB fails to understand your feelings about Jake Thomas.

So in summary, Leafs suck. 🙂

8 straight sellouts and believe we're getting close on selling out the Toronto game is pretty remarkable. The club has done a great job marketing the team and creating things that appeal to a wide variety of fans. Plus the weather looks good for tonight and a football game as PAS in nice summer weather is always good.

This is indeed true! 👍 Hey ya'll 🙂

Then what is the point?

All the whining and complaining aside, this is all that really matters. Win or lose, it's going to be a great night at #FortHew. Had my traditional Cafe Breakfast at Stella's this morning, and now on to brewery tastings for the afternoon before heading over to the tailgate. We're in an unprecedented era of greatness.... Let's at least try and enjoy ourselves a little bit.

If Person isn't taking 1/3 of Willie's reps right from the get-go I'll be really disappointed. Need to get Willie rolling and that means fewer reps. He's awful when he's playing 90%. Vaughters has more motor, he can handle reps in all situations and kick inside more regularly.

I guess almost being charged with possession doesn’t count? 😁

I'm holding onto the fact that we're dang good after byes and at home.

Lesss ffffing go. No more fooling around. Let's show the league who's still boss. (Please?)

I think we might’ve. Good chance one of the two ends up being in the cam judge tier atleast. Thing is, lbers don’t have the huge uptake time that QBs and some other positions have. Both guys were playing major d1 ball. If they were imps they’d be expected to start as rookies. The seasoning those guys need, comes from playing D too. We aren’t gonna sharpen them up on kick cover teams. But we played them on D very sparingly in pre season. We will let guys like schmekel and kornelson drown on D for extended reps each game, but won’t let guys like Shay and smith atleast play running situations. Ayers is in the same boat. That guy isn’t getting better as a player only covering kicks and eating dirt on short yardage plays. We suffered through the D reps with karamoko, Kramdi, Hallett, etc. Gauthier once upon a time was the 28th pick with out standing athletic ability running a 4.6 40 with 10’ broad, cadwallader was even more athletic with some big jump numbers and db reps. We’ve hammered lots of high upside Canadians down into limited (teams) role players, (Eli, year one ford lots of examples) and up jumped tcf low pick Canadians into starting jobs because of intangibles. Why didn’t mci get a good half to 3/4 or a game worth of reps at rb? Same with Peterson. Can name soo many guys who we picked with tremendous upside only to give up on them playing their actual position.

Thats how osh operates....he rarely will give a new guy...even if they are better a chance.....and good luck un-seating a vet here....prob why we don't seem to be as active in FA of late...guys wanna play...not play second fiddle to teacher's pet yup...part of our issue is Walter's allows Osh too much say....hence we continue rolling it back with inferior guys each yr...and each yr its worse and worse until a total overhaul is gonna be needed....and could be next yr the way things look so far this yr i know how....spin it as a joke...failure...flop...and sadly...predictable...encompasses pretty much everything about it As soon as we re-upped Thomas and T.Jones well before FA I knew right away it would be status quo....same ol same ol...guys pencilled in before camp even started and a uphill impossible battle for any new player to unseat amyone add Allen....Woodbey...J.Jones...Move Parker up to corner...Griffin to SAM...keep Person on now....add Bailey for the least useful Canadian on roster (or for Sheehan and let Sergio do all 3 jobs) and we in business. Not even giving them a look when it's apparent we aren't at our best is ridiculous.... Gotta mainyain 3 canadians on oline and let Wallace grow into the spot....3 import oline hampers us and the net value of doing it isnt a real positive or makes us better We also need to figure out receiver cause as it stands...we are bad bad bad and a longer term injury to one of Wheatfall or Demski and we are major hooped we wouldnt have...we woulda drafted ST guys....and if we did....both prob would have never amounted to much as they wouldnt play...or they would have jammed outta town after rookie deal expired

What an insane finish....

Spieker filling up his Pamper in the 4th Q of this game.

You’re right. But again, Walters is Mos boss. It’s not only his job to cycle in talent, but to manage mos. Db, I think we went with bridges for fit and execution. I don’t agree with it, but it does make some sense. We struggled for a big chunk last year to get guys on the right page with JYs coverage. But once we got it working our D got worlds better. I hope we still move on from bridges this year.

Even if we did its not a given that OShea would have given them a chance, just look at db, we brought in a ton and ended up settling with Bridges who was already here. (even though it looked like other rookies showed more ie Allen and McGowan)

Hopefully Osh is taking notes in how to have some balls and set a tone and show faith and trust in your offence and defence....went for it on 3rd and goal...and a quick turn around on a interception and all of sudden up 18-4 early in game...We would have kicked a FG....Reason why Dinwiddie schools him in the Grey Cups....stop being a panty waist already

And apparently DL Demone Harris (Buffalo) added...

He played under 30 snaps at receiver last year. He was targeted twice. He was on as returner. Most reps in Toronto the game when they got stuffed on 3rd and short in range to kick winning FG. He's 5'10 with giant hands. Mitchell is 6'1 and has 1/4 inch smaller hands. Better 40, better shuttle, better bench. You watch how South Dakota used him, all levels, but especially for vertical shots. Lined up all over, see him winning on every single type of route. Everything on Case is about how he competes. Everything on Mitchell says "lacks focus, discipline, doesn't play fast, concern with maturity level, too many focus drops, non-factor as a blocker." We need some reliability honestly. Demski can't be the go to guy. Be nice to see Wheatfall step up, and given the opportunity to get more touches at all levels. Clercius is what he is. If he's getting double digit targets we're probably ******. Nice release valve, 5th target. Get some YAC, screen game going along with the vertical shots. Everyone going to sit on the vertical stuff until we beat zone.

What you call whining and complaining, we (check-back with me on who 'we' is) call in-depth on point analysis my good friend. Sheesh.

yeah I would like to see a little bit of evolving and proof he can adapt mid flight....and agree a shuffling of the deck chairs...even if not publically announced wouldnt be a bad thing yeah both need to be spelled consistently, especially WJ as he thrives in rotation....sets of all 3 ends, as well as 3 and Adams lining up in different spots on the front would cause some chaos...especially if we keep up with the sending of extra guys too....guys will come free...well if right ones used and ones who can finish

If what we’ve seen continues, in a month at the latest we should promote Jackson. Don’t need to fire or demote hogan in title, Jackson could become the offensive QC. I’m pulling for hogan, but right now he seems far off being ready for all that OC entails.

on a positive not...stoked that person gets on...hopefully he gets a lot of snaps to get into the flow of a CFL game...not 4 or 5 snaps while the usual slugs eat up reps......and safe to say I am shocked as all hell Osh made the actual move

Okay, thanks Debbie.

LOVED IT! This is what the CFL is all about.

100%. He doesn’t gamble as much to jump under routes, but gets burned deep just as much some how. I hope we see Allen, woodbey, vaval get a shot at some point.

Many times Bridges has looked like Houston but without as many opportunistic int’s. Two steps too late or not even in the play.
