    It's always the way in the CFL. Offenses generally take a lot longer to get going. 

    The defence and the discipline. This team just generally doesn't dig themselves big holes and keep grinding the game away. 

    How many games have we had under O' Shea where we took more penalties than the other team? I honestly can't remember it ever happening. That to me is the foremost criteria that makes me believe he is the best Head Coach in the league.

  2. I seem to remember Grant having a few fumbles last year but somehow we were always lucky enough to get ball back. Just in the playoff run alone I recall him having a fumble after a big return that happened on a play that also had no yards against our opponents and holding against us, which negated the stat. I think that may have been in the Grey Cup game. I also recall him taking our first offensive play against Hamilton in that game and having a great 10 yard run which ended with him coughing up the ball on first contact. Luckily he was right against the sideline and the ball went straight out of bounds.

    In any case, he was the most explosive threat we've had on kick returns in a while so I definitely give him the edge over oft injured Nelson.

  3. I'm hoping for the best but bracing for the worst.

    I am so unbelievably grateful that the Bombers won the big one last season. I shudder to imagine that it was almost possible that I never got to see them win a Grey Cup. I've been a fan since I was eight years old but in 1990 I was only 5 and didn't know or care about pro sports. Thank God we won in 2019!

    I hope my feelings of dread turn out to be unfounded but right now I am terrified that I am going to lose the hobby that is nearest and dearest to me (CFL and in particular Blue Bomber football).

  4. Thank you for being instrumental in leading this team out of a dark place and playing a huge role in leading this team back to glory. I'm completely convinced we would not have developed the culture of success to be a perennial playoff team and winners of the Grey Cup this season without you.

    Wherever you go from here I will always be a fan of yours and wish you nothing but success (except against the Bombers).

  5. For everyone complaining about Collaros' contract, you need to realize that this is the price of a starting QB in the CFL these days. If we pursued Nichols or Arbuckle instead, we would be still be paying about the same amount.

    That is, unless we wanted to go into the season with a total unknown like McGuire or a raw rookie.
