I hope it's nice. I'm getting a nice treat that game. Was nominated for coach of the week. My club (Rods) get $500 donation and I'm getting a $100 GC to the Bomber store and get to go on the field for pregame with my boy.

So it's inspired by Booch?

Looks like Milt will be at the game on Friday.

Whenever I get asked about why Mitchell isn't playing I say it's because he's an X wide receiver. And to get him in would require he or Wheatfall changes position. Based on having Case in for Schoen on Sunday I have to believe the Bombers have reservations too. The first day of camp this year they had Mitchell at slot next to Wheatfall. The next day Mitchell was at X with the 2s. And since the end of camp that's where he's stayed. Mitchell has played some slot in his career but the Elks clearly felt he was a WR. For his career I've got him with 151 targets at WR and 55 in the slot--73% WR is pretty high. When they signed Geno Lewis in 2023 they tried Mitchell in the slot but eventually bumped him out to Z. Watching his '24 and '23 Sunday night Mitchell had some real struggles with the waggle...more hesitant than most guys. How much was him and how much was the bad QB situations in Edmonton...who knows.

Even though we are a salty bunch as of late, we *do* appreciate you taking the time to share with us DT - thank you!

This site is getting dangerously close to unreadable on a daily basis. We've been losing regular contributors because of it, which is a shame... Feels like the Jim Daley/Tim Burke/Lapo era of darkness based on some of the posts, and not an unmatched generational winning streak on and off the field...

lol @Noeller laughs because he thinks that reality mirrors his feel good storybook dreams O’Shea is finished. This is what you get when nobody is fighting for anything. Performance doesn’t matter, trot the same bums out every week. The only thing that matters is loyalty, so if you show up and go through the motions your job is safe .. why invest anything beyond that? Hogan, Younger … proof that all you need to do is put the time in and you will prosper. Bridges, Case, Bonds … more of the same. the reality is we need a major adjustment and if O’Shea can’t be the one to make it then we need to find someone who can. This is ******* pathetic and he’s the main reason why it’s gotten to this point.

I think a comeback was realistic until Holm wasn't able to cover the 2 receivers he was assigned. Do better next time Evan!

https://static.cfl.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/CALGARY-at-WINNIPEG_JULY-18.pdf Depth chart up Schoen, Bryant out. Case and Person on. Excited to see what Person can bring finally.

Someone needs to answer publicly for that, I think there needs to be an explanation given as to why we sunk 160k (lots upfront) into a receiver that we aren’t even considering using

Cancelled due to poor talent quality.

Here's what I have: Vs Toronto (63 defensive snaps) Jefferson 58 Vaughters 54 Thomas 35 Lawson 34 Adams 26 Person 25 Kornelson 6 16 snaps with Vaughters as a stand-up player rushing from the interior. 20 snaps of him, Jefferson and Person on at the same time. Season to date (6 games) Vaughters 290 Jefferson 281 Lawson 205 Thomas 198 Adams 1768 Kornelson 45 Person 29 Still zero D snaps for both rookies.

A little background is in order here: The Blue Bombers first came into Batiuk’s radar in 2011 during the National Football League’s work stoppage. Needing his football fix, Batiuk, now 78, discovered the Canadian Football League. “I was looking for football to watch and found the CFL and became a fan of the Blue Bombers because they have the coolest name in football,” he said. “I started watching their games and then in Crankshaft, Dan Davis, my artist, and I would just start throwing in a Blue Bombers sweatshirt or T-shirt every now and then.” https://www.bluebombers.com/2025/07/20/crankshaft-for-the-w/

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.

Time to release Dillion Mitchell if you have no intentions of playing him. Absolutely ridiculous at this point.

Only singles left for next Fridays game. Another sellout to add to the streak.

To paraphrase Doug Brown, he's with his brother. They get to talk about each loss together and bond.

Wade Miller sounding arrogant? The devil you say.

If Packers like him but Carney & Trump don't get a trade deal this week, then Packers might have to pay an extra 35% tariff on Elgersma's contract (since he is imported from Canada) of $294,350 So that could be a factor as to whether they keep him around.

I hear he has already surpassed Mitchell on the depth chart.

I have 4 each for Person and Ayers in Week 7. 3 of Ayers were short yardage. Person had 1 in the first quarter, 3 in the third. Two were lined up inside, two on the edge. For the season (I cleaned up some errors from the last time I posted these): Vaughters - 236 Jefferson - 223 Lawson - 167 Thomas - 167 Adams - 143 Kornelson - 39 Ayers - 16 Person - 4

STOP GOING TO THE ******* GAMES THEN! Why you put the curse on them?

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.

How refreshing it is having Laura Diakun as guest host in the absence of Kate Bierness? She's a pro who keeps the panel on task & guess what?? They actually can have an interesting football discussion with Diakun. Unlike Bierness, who is all over the place with her comments, jokes, wild laughter & skits. The panel just follows her lead & gets goofy. Bierness is not a host. She lacks the discipline that Diakun has, She seems perfectly suited to be the full time host of TSN football. I wish TSN would make a change.

Sure, but the roster is a pretty big part of just ******* winning.

Bridges moved to the practice roster.

2 of the biggest free agency signings were Mitchell and Jones... neither one can get a sniff on the roster and to me that speaks to a huge disconnect in how the team is being run.

Draw a warm bath, lower yourself in slowly, then take a dump where you sit. /recap

If Lane Novak can’t go we’re ******

Been a Bomber fan my whole life and this will be the first game I see them play live outside eof Winnipeg! Gonna feel strange.

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...

I like the addition of Person and hope he gets a decent number of reps. Case-Not excited at all. Our WR recruitment was a complete bust this year.

Do you know who would be a great choice for the Ring next year, Greg Battle.

we had a LB group of West...Jones...Battle and Randolph at one point.....Kill to have that again

Just caught up on snap counts for the season...folks had asked in a different thread. 211 defensive snaps (including penalty plays were the play wasn't stopped early): Vaughters - 189 Jefferson - 182 Thomas - 144 Lawson - 129 Adams - 117 Kornelson - 26

Hello Went down a rabbit hole one Sunday night and dug up the W/L numbers as starters for Collaros and Flutie (didn't have to go digging for Mitchell's with the milestone he just hit). Was sharing them with Noeller and 17to85 but thought maybe some of you might have interest. These are all current. Win/Loss on a single team (minimum 50 Starts) Flutie (Stamps) - 63 Starts - 50 W - 13 L. .794 winning percentage Mitchell (Stamps) - 117 Starts - 90 W - 25 L - 2 T. .778 winning percentage Collaros (Bombers 2019 - present) - 67 Starts - 51 W - 16 L. .761 winning percentage All time Win/Loss Flutie - 105 Starts - 78 W - 27 L. .743 winning percentage Mitchell - 144 Starts - 101 W - 41 L - 2 T. .708 winning percentage Collaros - 133 Starts - 85 W - 48 L. .639 winning percentage A few observations. I have given Bo 1 win for his 2 ties. Flutie's only real losing was to start his career in BC. And even that was only for 1 year. You can see his numbers with the Stamps, and by my count the 2 years he was an Argo, they went 15-3 both years. The only way to spin that Bo wins more than Flutie is to use the "fastest to 100 wins" when we know Flutie didn't play enough to get 100 wins. I was curious when I put this together if Bo's record was actually better than Flutie's. We can see its not, and isn't really that close. I guess when he first left Calgary, it was but he's dropped off since then. And Zack's run in Winnipeg... When he left Hamilton after 2017, he was 24-27 as a starter (even coming here he was only 34-32 as a starter after Sask), and since that time has somehow willed his way into the conversation here. Collaros would have been #1 on the team chart until 2024 happened. Almost half of all his losses as a bomber were in 2024. Mathematically he can't get to 100 wins in less than 143 (absolute best he can do now is 147), but I could see him passing Bo for all time wins or winning percentage all time. Flutie is probably untouchable, and I'm okay with that.

Strevy aint heavy he’s their brother man

My guess is that ZC may be out for awhile. Just a hunch but he may be dealing with a recurring injury from August 2023, after which his efficiency as a QB began to decline. Right now, six games or 1/3 into 2025 season, ZC has the worst QB efficiency rating among all the 9 regular starting QBs. Collaros also has the highest INT percentage with 8 INTs vs 7 TDs. Colloros's QB efficiency rating isn't just the worst among starters, at 89.1 it is significantly worse than the others. You could argue Zach has the weakest receiver unit in the league which would contribute to this inefficiency. But looking back at 2024 with a better crop of receivers, Collaros threw 19 INT vs 21 TDs - this includes 4 INTS in the GREY CUP and 4 TDs in West Final - which gave Zach the worst INT percentage last year among QBs who started 10 games or more. That is a total of 28 INT versus 28 TDs in the past 25 games in which Collaros has appeared. Yes you can lay some of that on the receivers. But still. This is not to take away from Zach's substantial contribution since he arrived here in 2019 - respect! But the decline in Collaros's performance since around August 11 2023 neck injury vs Elks (when Dru Brown came off the bench to win the game) is clear as day.

I don’t have a good feeling about this game (or season right now tbh) but I’d like to be horribly wrong.

Jake Thomas trying to bury all of his criticism on the 10th page.

He's tanned, rested, and ready....

Honestly after 2023 we should have made some hard decisions and focused on this year and hosting the Grey Cup. I get it would be hard moving on from some guys, but we let a young stud QB go, and kept guys like Bighill, etc around longer. It should have been the time to cut the cord then.

This always and forever.

Great entertainer horrible person

Kudos to the fans for the extended ovation for the GOAT

And like I said, if Eli isn't better... then time to move on and find someone else because kolankowski for my money is the teams weakest starter and needs to be replaced 2 years ago. If that has to be by an American so be it, but let's stop wasting time on a guy like that.

How bout these stats, his 3 best years rushing the passer, he put up a total of 53 sacks. Tony norman is 2nd all time with a bomber career total of 59 sacks. So 3 years of jones would still be the 2nd best pass rusher in team history. WJ, working in his 6th season as a Bomber, has 44. Jeffcoats 6 6-year career totaled 38. Brown got 52, swac and walls both had 47. Jones put up a total of 15 picks in his career. He put up a receiving TD, a pick 6, and a fumble recovery for a TD. And talk about a guy who stayed on the field, a real throwback player even in that era.

Imo, the most over due addition to the ring.

Zero reason we needed to give up Grant. Makes no sense. Guaranteed Hall of Famer.
