I'm honestly blown away they didn't use their time machine before they signed him. They obviously would have known what would happen almost a full year after signing him. Like how unprofessional....

Bombers sign UFL MVP QB Bryce Perkins...

Illegal in 9 countries with bits of real panther...so you know it's good

So would this guy.

This week on MBB, Posters battle over who hates the Riders the most.

I'm hoping they're gone and we can discuss replacements.

JT is everything that's wrong with the Bombers. On any other team, he'd have been cut long ago.

I’m just glad they aren’t ignoring the problem and are looking to improve

Looks like Hogan is done! https://3downnation.com/2025/11/24/winnipeg-blue-bombers-granted-permission-to-interview-mike-miller-for-offensive-coordinator-position-report/

Naylor says the bombers have requested and been granted permission to talk to Mike Miller (toronto) for the oc position! He notes miller is a candidate for the argos hc job still. Theyre giving me some hope!

Would love to see Justin Hardy here. Dude is a legit #1, makes plays all over the field, has had three straight 1000 yard years. His 2023 season had Terrance Edwards energy ... he hit 1k with rookie Dustin Crum, bad Nick Arbuckle, brokedown Jeremiah Masoli and Tyree Adams as his QBs.

The Blue can dress Jake Thomas up like Homer and do skits where everyone on this board is Grimes being baffled at how JT still has his job.

Dillon Mitchell. What a waste of a signing. My Gawd.

Creates too much tension. Better to make a clean break.

Friesen was inducted into the media section of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. He apparently asked no other than Mike (handled internally) Kelly to induct him. There is a video of Mike Kelly's induction speech. Probably not worth the minutes of commercials The Sun will make you watch to see it, but it is the off season. https://winnipegsun.com/sports/video-mike-kelly-introduces-paul-friesen-into-hall-of-fame-2025 In one of Kelly's job interviews after the Bombers, they looked him up online and apparently asked him who Friesen was, as a bunch of his articles came up. Kelly said his response was "someone who did their job better than I did."

If I'm looking thru my wife's eyes I'm assuming she sees this when looking at me:

You need to go watch the 4th Q again. Wilson didn't play like garbage. 2 of his 4 passes were flat out dropped. 1 was called PI. The bombers were very much in that game when he came in and the coaching staff (buck) decided to put it all on his arm instead of give the ball to Brady...even one time.... Acting like there can be no debate is ridiculous. The game got out of hand BECAUSE OF COLLAROS. Now there's something that can not be debated because it actually happened that way.

30 years of coaching, OC in the NFL (Arizona), OC in Toronto and Montreal (also co-head coach there). Plus he's made Arbuckle look halfway decent. Would not be worse but time would tell if would be great.

the forum is right into prime off season mode. no rust around here. we going 1-0 each day derailing all the threads and having the same discussion in 4 different threads when any thing happens. No soft start for us, we going for the ship this off season.

I suggest that Kolankowski is an even biggesr liabiity. Thomas just gives up yardage., but Kolankowski gives up free runs at our QBs.

Found the boomer!

But that highlights the biggest issue with the team... poor roster usage and management.

How much juice did he have in 2018 when we tried to walk away from him? The fact that it's now 2025 and we're still talking about him and he's still playing that kind of a role, is a huge fail for this team.

If this is indeed true, very bush league.

Yeah I rag on them as much as anybody but they do a better job of covering the CFL than the "real" media. They are great for news but their opinion pieces are not usually worth reading.

I'm much smarter if the wife ain't around.

that’s a pretty darn good get. I would not be surprised if he is our short yardage qb next year. Very strong athletically, more quick than fast great change of direction and cutting ability. Love his release, strong enough arm good accuracy. His style of play and college offence translates very well to the cfl. Love that he has had success as a pro too. Came back from a crazy career threatening injury as a red shirt. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/bryce-perkins/32005045-5215-1670-3a5f-ed85c4dd47b3

Well except for me.

Thats the smell of desire m'lady.

I know ifs and buts are candies and nuts, but man who knows how the season would have gone if they would have just hired Miller last offseason........Feels like a wasted season.

Chris Jones in Toronto would be very, very entertaining- for the rest of the league.

You sure?

especially when he really didnt have much to work with...or a coach who wouldn't flip ratio to facilitate better players Hopefully he is back if for anything to work with QB's and RB's and have input if we go another route for OC with a guy not named OC Guy Hutchins is the best Dline guy who as arrived in the league in a long while...If he doesn't get NFL camp invite, i'd pay WJ money for him...WJ money isnt even that much for a giy with his potential....he hasnt even full arrived yet and is elite...does so many things right Under radar guy, who really shouldnt be is Hicks as well in CGY....Land him and Hutchins....keep the best of Adams/Woods to rotate...Hick's....WJ....Yes WJ with support and not excessive reps...Bailey...Lawson...and the best of the 2 young ends who played in the MTL game....totally transforms our defensive front and would really accentuate what Younger wants to do...and wouldn't break the bank either And depending on what BO wants in money....of he wants north of 240k....I'd totally consider getting Mill's or Butler with the Peterson/MCI duo actually getting reps and seriously persue Philpot....better bang for the buck...and would help us navigate the sms for some the above mentioned guys Broxton too.....be my target ...even if Stan is Back....Broxton..Stan...and anyone but Kolo anchoring the blind side...gimme some of that...Randolph on the right side is gonna be a legit all-star this yr too bad he didnt exhibit that evasiveness and speed on the field

It’s weird but the first part of your sentence where it ends at sister automatically gets me thinking of Roughrider fans for some reason.

Yep. We had go to plays, the problem is, it's the same go to play that lapo installed in 2019. Smash and drive passing concept, with a play action and a half roll out. Without Lawler, we don't have the wideout who can run the shallow corner well enough. Lawler could beat his man with his get off and break. That meant he was open and still had a ton of room on the sideline. Guys like Wheatfall might get open, but by the time they do with just speed and not the polished route running, they are too close to the sideline. With Lawler, Zach could either throw a very safe pass to the sideline and let him run it down, or if the DB is cheating or trailing, he could lob it and let Kenny run under it. Very similar to the Dagger variation we ran, where Schoen would go on a deep in route, and Lawler would go on a deep out route (Instead of a post). Where even if we didn't get guys open, zach would roll out the rest of the way, drawing the D to him, then hitting the come back from schoen or lawler. We used to have lots of go-to plays. Slip screens, bubble screens, Fake bubble jet sweep, etc. The whole play action jet sweep used to be our bread and buter as much as the run was. Most of that stuff has been gone for 2 seasons. Everything our offence has done since 21 has been continually devolving. Buck took the training wheels off our offence, let zach go wild with deep shots, and showed great promise in game plan development with some tremendous screen pack based games, pa, layering, and route developement. But since then, we've only lost what we succeeded at.

"So that's it? So long and good luck?" "I don't recall saying good luck"

That's actually crazy. I'm not sure I've ever been part of any team in any sport that didn't have a go to play.

Oh, damn- one less mediocre restauant to not patronize. My absolute favourite breakfast place is The Original Pancake House. The giant apple pancake is a good excuse to sleep the rest of the morning, but my 16 year old son ate TWO of them in a single sitting on a dare. We didn't see him again until well after lunch.

Bigger bodied athletic QB...interesting...can't argue with this signing Hopefully gets a lot of TC reps to get a good gauge on him

Perkins was added to our neg list in August but he's been bouncing around other teams lists since at least 2020 so might be just lucky timing on our part but I won't complain. Looks like he has a great skill set for the CFL and he's still only 28.

The guy has pretty clearly been blacklisted by the NFL and FBS/FCS levels of NCAA. He goes from 15 years in the NFL to one year in the circus in Montreal with Dan Hawkins to D3 to a year in a spring league to the CFL again with a pretty dysfunctional organization (not that I think O'Shea etc. would see that since it's a lot of his buddies involved). He's up here making $90,000 Canadian. Think you'd have to do some pretty significant due diligence on why that is before you give him a leadership role.

I'm on the Miller side but Condell would be ok. Hogan being gone would be a good start.

Hogan for guy sitting in the stands at PAS telling others he used to be OC ala Al Bundy scoring 4 TDs in a game for Polk High.

Hatcher here would be fantastic. Hardy too.

"Easy swap"..."Hey Hatcher, come play with a old mostly broken down QB who will throw you some suicide balls, oh yeah we don't have a real OC" or "Hey Hatcher, come play with a young superstar in the making, reigning MOP under a OC that loves to go deep" I also don't see why BO would play under Buck again....but maybe there's something there I don't know.

Then I guess we should shut down this whole site because that could be said for the multiple issues brought up here consistently. I think most of realize the intent is not to sway MOS and company (not like we’re talking to them directly) but to escape, vent, cheer, debate and have some fun.

Winnipeg fans would love Emilus if he was here.

Nic Demski. And fans like that need to get over themselves.
