Fan Boy reacted to M.O.A.B. in Elks vs Champs pre game talk
Asked what impresses him most about Winnipeg’s defence: “Not much at all. They have a great front, which makes it a lot easier for the defenders.”
Walker went on to say it’s not one of the better defences he’s seen.
“I wouldn’t say one of the better defences. I’ve come across a lot of good defences that play very, very well. But they’re a very, very solid defence.”
The score was 30-3 in Winnipeg last week. A week earlier, 30-9 in B.C..
Six times in nine games, the Bombers have yielded less than 10 points.
“We’ve been killing ourselves every game offensively,” Walker said.
“Nothing that Winnipeg has been doing has been putting us in a situation to not win.”

Not just the NI draft either.
Hansen is a legit starter in the CFL and a ST monster.
Nobody else has come close to his production from the Globals.

Imo, faith is the only real bust. And that wasnt a strong top end of the draft. Corney couldve been great and is the biggest physical freak to come out of the cfl draft, but he was a good rotational player and was really close. I bet he could still play football if he wanted to. Waggoner was a gem on teams, and couldve done more on D. Id take him then over most of our NI depth today.
The hallett boys are gonna be the back bone of our teams for years to come. And rotational quality defenders at worst. If the 19 draft was done again today, Desjarlais would go no1. Brady has been very good in limited reps too. Eli is the biggest steal in draft history. Exume was the 70th pick and instantly one of the top STs guys in the league and a rotational defensive piece. Simonise and petey are still in the league with 2nd and 3rd teams. Which is more than 90% of the top 2 rounds can say. FMB still in the league, Qadr spooner was the hot commodity back up OL for a while and was on 1 or 2 other teams but ped and injuries derailed his career. Taylor loffler had a really solid career. Immediate starting NI db in the 3rd round? yes pls. Gauthier, and briggs have done a lot for us especially this year how many 14/15 picks are still around? Normand is one of the better fbs and a sts anchor in mtl, derek jones was a big rotational piece and teamer here, and lets not forget cody speller. Undrafted free agent to starting OL.
The mafia have gotten tremendous value out of each years draft. Frequently our depth players end up being depth players for other teams after playing here. Nothing is a higher sign of good drafting than your depth picks filling out rosters across the league.

I think the great key to our success is knowing our team as much as it is knowing the players. Lots of teams can look and see talent. Some teams can predict how talent will project in the CFL. But no team is doing a fraction of the job the mafia is at projecting players fitment into their cfl roster.
When the bombers draft a guy, they know what role that guy will fill if they succeed. They know how to deploy them and it fits with what we do. Many times, my self and others have gone oh I wish we drafted that guy! And some times that guy is indeed a good cfler. But not soo much a good bomber. Some times of course other teams pick guys we'd love before we can, but over all we do an exceptional job picking guys who will fit what we do as a pro.
And just like the players fit the team, the mafia fit each other. Wade, walters, mos, and all the rest. They are all in sync.
In his book "the score takes care of it self", bill walsh talks about his first changes when he took over the 49ers job. He instituted standard operating procedure for every single job. It didnt matter if it was janitorial, receptionist, or QB. Every job was held to the same standard of excellence, and every member of the franchise was expected to fit the mold. The whole book is basically about winning culture. Id strongly recommend it for any bomber fan, the style of culture building is exactly like what the bombers have done.

You know, if Mourtada doesn’t miss that 3rd field goal, then Edmonton would not have taken that holding call on the return. And then they would not have started on their own 4. And then the strip sack would not have resulted in the Bighill TD.
So Mourtada for the Happy Honker!

Fan Boy got a reaction from Rod Black in Obscure moments and players in Bombers history
Oh that one I remember very well. I had 2 season tickets that year and no one wanted to go. Bunch of candies made of sugar. I sat in my trenchcoat under the upper deck canopy and watched the kids on the rotating swings melt in their seats as the EX was on in the parking lot. I thought that was earlier in the year and just an exhibition game. players were standing on top of the bench except some guys who were doing slip and slides.

Fan Boy reacted to bearpants in GDT - Banjo Bowl - Riders @ the Champs
I think the result of that melee also reflects the team's coaches and overall attitude... one team will defend each other and fight back to the line without crossing it... the other team has no discipline and just goes over the top any chance they get... that's why one team had two DQs and the other had two major fouls...

Probably wasn't a concussion. Likely, just said to the trainers, "all I see is blue." And, they misinterpreted that as head trauma.

There is some point there. The point is not for missing a field goal by the way. The point is for not allowing the opposition to take the ball out of their endzone. When you look at it this way you are not rewarding failure.
