I would still love to have him back. He was so good in the middle. I thought our whole defense suffered a noticeable drop off when he was out injured. They were still great but he made them that much better.

Especially when we had an illegal hands to the face penalty called against us not long before that.
It's unfortunate that it always feels that a team has to be three or four plays better than the opposing team to counteract the routine blown calls by the refs. Duke Williams "catch" in the West Final is a perfect example of that.
Thankfully, the Bombers were always that much better. That's why we can post wanna-b-fanboy's image here instead of a comparable imagine showing up on another team's forum.

Just re-watched the game... there is one missed call that keeps bugging the **** outta me:
With 27 seconds left in the half... Ciraco MUGS Rose and springs Don Jackson for a 36 yard gain to end up on the Bomber's 10 yard line and then score a major going into half-time.
Still bugs the **** out of me.
 
 
Ah well- there is always this:

 
 
 

We do have a huge to do list still but we're off to great start!

I don't like Trevor Harris. Never have. 
That said I would take him over a completely unproven commodity. Hopefully we can get a deal done with Collaros and not even have to consider it.

It's great to finally see us signing back some of the cornerstones that lead us to two straight Grey Cups. One thing I was trying to do was find a consolidated list of who we have signed for next season's camp that would update as new signings came in. I'm obviously following our new signings as they happen but I'm not 100% sure on which players have contracts that didn't expire for 2022. I had read that we had just one of these on offence (Demski) but I'm not sure about defence. Since I couldn't find one I thought I would do a very simplistic version right here that we could potentially update as players get signed. Something like this:
Blue Bombers under contract for 2022 camp/season:
Offence:
QB -
RB -
REC - Demski*, Blake Jackson
O-Line - Hardrick
FB/TE - 
Defence:
D-Line - Thomas*, Jefferson, Jeffcoat
LB -
DB/S - 
Special Teams
Kicker -
Punter -
Other -
 
* Denotes non-import
 
This is probably not a complete list and I was hoping people could fill in the blanks on who I am missing. Either that or post a link to somewhere that has the info already. Thanks!

That looks like it was Jeffcoat who steamrolled Banks on that play.

I forgot about him. You're right, I now remember being shocked at the time that the Bombers landed a big name FA. It was such a rare happening back then. Stanley Bryant was also a surprise.
That did seem to be the start of our slow but steady shift towards becoming a respectable franchise again.

Randall and Maurice Leggett really helped turn our d around. 

Honestly, as much as he underperformed here, Nick Moore was the first real, high-rated FA that was willing to sign here. 
They overpaid for him, but at the time it went a long way to help repair the reputation of the club being penny pinchers. 

They won't. He's in the perfect place for him. He's playing for a coach who admits he can't control his players and a fan base who revels in having douchebags represent them. 

Today's result of barely squeaking through despite a lot of mistakes was probably the best result for us. If we had any chance of going in overconfident that should be gone now.
I'm glad the Ticats are the team we get to meet for the Cup. This match up is intriguing in so many ways.
