This coming season my man ZC is going to stay healthy, light it up, lead us to Grey Cup victory and retire on top. At the very least it feels good writing this. Off season hope.

he was always gonna make the team. Will be interesting to see how much playing time he gets.

For whatever reason there was a long held belief that 9v9 youth tackle football, wasn't "football" in a lot of minds that controlled amateur ball in the province. And programs suffered under that. Even that change has brought youth football back growing in the province. Along with programs like the Selects, or Recruit ready, Club ball has added a spring league too for U16 and up....there are more and more programs in MB that are just about developing players at every level. Not only skill but just a love for the game. Add in the Bombers 1st class commitment to the youth in tackle and flag and football is seeing a legitimate renaissance here.

We've had plenty of MB's play for the team during MOS era. Part of the problem was that MB amateur football didn't really have the programs other provinces did to help develop that young talent. We do now. In the next decade there will be more and more MB's playing pro football.

Is Vaccaro a Demski kind of guy....after his 1st contract, he's likely to come home? I know he has a lot of ties to this community.

Pure hyperbole man. These things exist in most large cities

He made the team! :D

You tell him to tell the other teams he only would play for the bombers or nfl. Wink wink nudge nudge.

I'm keeping Manu. If we really covet Vaccaro that much AND he is not in the NFL, then we find a different way to make it happen. Stud NAT OL are becoming a rare commodity and I wouldn't trade any of them.

Blow up all the stadiums, fold the league

Then, instead of Collaros getting pulped because of a crappy OC and O-line, we would have had Brown getting pulped, but at a cheaper price. Not sure that would have accomplished much.

We're deservedly ranked last, that's all I care about.

I can feel things heating up Elgersma is almost in Winnipeg. It's just a matter of time now. May as well purchase some cheap blend for the celebration.

Walker, Josh Love, Quincy Vaughn 9) Winnipeg Blue Bombers Starter: Zach Collaros Depth: Terry Wilson, Bryce Perkins, Payton Thorne

The issue is whether Dru can stay healthy for enough games to be a legitimate option l.

How did we win with Nyquist not in the shootout? What the heck!

Not moving on from collaros while we had brown was an error by this team.

Arniel should be fired

Laviska Shenault would be a good CFL reciever...wonder what his interest would be...seemed to have flamed out in NFL for whatever reason

That pretty much describes every QB1 - QB2 situation.

She was on a couple seasons ago too and wore some bison earrings to represent Manitoba. This is season 50 so they made it a big all-star season of returning players - gives you an idea of how well she did if she was asked to be a part of it. She's had a few players from her first season and this season up to Winnipeg - lots of Instagram pictures of them at Jets games.

Powell in my opinion over the last several yrs looks to be the most promising and has all the tools, and seemed to possess the best technique....just needed play time.....prb get some now in Edm i was wanting us to try and grab him a yr ago already

yeah, Powell didn't look like the second coming of Jeff Garcia or anything ... but in 2023 he went from QB3 to starting half of the games in Hamilton. He went 4-5 on an 8-10 team and had 10 TDs and 9 picks and massively beat expectations for a QB3 who becomes the emergency starter. I agree with SpeedFlex that he was the best young FA QB in the CFL this offseason and he could've maybe possible been a successor to Zach for us. But now he is in Edmonton and I hope for the sake of the league that we haven't seen his ceiling yet.

Very little residential will be very close to the stadium. You have the rapid transit station to the North/North West & campus land to the North East providing a buffer. Those areas are bordered by Sifton road which is meant to be the main retail area of the new development with coffee shops, pubs, banks etc. Here's a better look at what's planned - it's nothing like Ottawa. They are also very actively promoting the proximity to the stadium (and other facilities) as a major selling point so people buying there should be well aware of those considerations.

The backup plan was chris streveler. I don't think Elgersema factored in at all. Trouble is strevelers knee is ****** and we got nothing

What about Powell screams 7-8 year starter? He had a fairly unremarkable rookie season. Did well in the one game in 2024 before leaving the field in an ambulance due to a concussion and has thrown 12 passes since.

I was at the game tonight. I'm no expert but I thought the jets played well throughout. Not sure what to make of this team, although right now it seems like a one line team. I think they deserved 2 points tonight. Another thought I've been having over the last 6 or so games, is although hellybuck can't be blamed for the losing games ( some real tough saves ) it would be nice if he made a few of those. It would be a difference maker at a time we could really use those. Id really like playoff hockey. It's fun to watch

Playing better but still too much reliance on the top line. Those guys would burn out in the play offs

Blow up the outside world. Shoot wrong thread.

well for one thing. It's quite literally can't exist around PAS. There just isn't the room, unless the university is going to get rid of all of it's parking. And I honestly wouldn't care 1 bit if it some how did happen. AND if anyone decides to live there, thinking there would be no issues around noise/traffic etc etc while that venue is being used....they're idiots and as long as those properties are making $$ no one is actually going to care.

I'm not so sure of Vaccaro's immediate availability. He's a pretty well-known prospect in the States and he had a solid pro day. His measurables are all good for an interior guy, hands and arms big enough to move to C, plus he's off the charts with intangibles and his film is pretty solid especially anyone running heavy zone/RPO as their base. So like Philly, Baltimore, Chicago, Green Bay, Niners, Indy. NFL teams will sit on UDFA for a few years to develop them.

Tre Ford is young enough to take a flyer on... is he a free agent or did he retire?

I don't see Maier surplanting Brown. Maier has been inconsistent at best as a starter.

11 am start time on TSN 3

I can't think of a worse idea than bringing in Tortorella...

Hopefully we sign Smoke Monday.

Jets absolutely sucked. Arniel has tried nothing and is all out of ideas. Salomonnson is 2 good for 3 rhd. Play him with Josh cuz pionk Josh isn’t good but pionk samberg is. Demelo with fleury or Bryson maybe heinola as 7 8 D isn’t that bad. Not sure how they get a 2 center tho. Why not try Perfetti Barron Rosen. Or call up Yager and go Perfetti Yager Rosen. Do something cuz Toews Nyquist dragging Rosen down and Lowry isn’t a top 6 guy.

Wow, that is exciting. I remember when Dakota Prukop played in the UFL as well with the New Jersey Generals.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/20/entertainment/chuck-norris-death Looks like he did his final round kick. anyone else finding this site slow today?

I absolutely can't wait for this. Going to be a tremendous asset to the city!!

Hope you're right because as soon as that first contract was over after being drafted it seemed that Bomber players just bailed & signed with other teams from or close to their own backyards where they grew up. Which is a problem because the majority of players come from Ontario. Or never came back here after NFL tryouts. Sure, we've had guys sign with the Bombers from Winnipeg/Manitoba. I didn't say that no one ever did.

Why? Colorado struggles against us. Jets if they make it would be on a huge roll. Only draft picks helping anytime soon are the top 3 in this years draft and we ain’t picking top 3. This team is not that bad. Helle and 1 line can carry them. 12 and 4 is pretty tough tho and that’s what ppl say they need to get in.

We'll get blown out, c'mon. And instead of getting a decent draft pick who might help us right awy, we'll pick a kid (probably an American) who we might see by 2030.

Is he that much of one? Idk. I don't think you actually know till the guy comes back. Very strong community guy.

And still 5 points out.

The sound doesn't really escape the current stadium. You basically can't even hear the sound from inside the stadium from the intersection of Bison Drive and Chancellor Matheson. You hear a low muffled sound and the Bomber games are cranked to about 15 on in-stadium sound. Like when one of the hosts or PA announcer is talking it's very loud.

I like Elad well enough, worry he might be a high floor low ceiling guy. Higher than where Id want to take him, but he probably will go high. Could have a great fit here if he eased us out of using a DI for the dime db. I LOVE me some Rohan Jones. But he is gonna get a good long look down south. He's a big TE with great hands, he's an athletic outlier, and equally an analytics darling/outlier, and he's even flashed some very good blocking game. If a team is gonna start him and reshape their formations around him, he could be a star. Play him as a flex TE/slot/H-back. He's returned kicks, run the ball, he's deadly downfield, but you could run a screen game up here with him as well. Too good a chance he sticks in the NFL for far to long to risk that high a pick with imo. Demontagnac is the type of wr you're probably gonna be stuck with in this draft if youre looking for one. And we are. Again, I'd rather take that risk later on. I'd love to have Vaccaro come home, but I'm not holding my breath. I'd love to work a trade for the rights to Manu for him actually. As manu is coming closer and closer to running out of leash down south. If he doesn't find a way/place to get regular reps this year, and stay healthy, good chance next year hes up here.

He struggled a bit early last season (that terrible game against the vikings was in 2024) but played fairly well after that.
