  1. No risk? What if they don't win and the running game sucks? What if they're not winning because the running game sucks? There is most definitely risk involved.
  2. Harris being at the end of his career is a big difference. Also, not committing to off-season work.
  3. Brady being local is a very big component of why he is loved here. He's also a hell of a player and a good human being. Just saying the negotiations pose a risk to the Bomber brand. And that's all I am saying.
  4. I can count all the Grey Cups Milt Stegall won on my missing toe. He even held himself out for more money on occasion. The Bombers are still making money selling uni's with 85 on the back.
  5. Then fans will still have a very popular local talent to cheer for. I'm not saying sign him for what he's asking - just saying there IS a risk to letting him go. Most fans aren't as sophisticated as this MENSA-certified community - they just like getting drunk and cheering for the guy they like. And winning.
  6. Winning cures everything, but if the Bombers start losing and Brady's replacement sucks.... I'm old enough to remember losing seasons where people complained we didn't have any locals.
  7. Don’t get me started on banning political speech. It’s like people think we have a new stadium and government had nothing to do with it. I merely roll my eyes at the low fruit you grab.
  8. The dead horses have been beaten into powder. I am so bored by the Bombers discussions since the Grey Cup that I don't even bother with the non-football discussions anymore. Now I'm a lurker who offers nothing.
  9. Don't think I've ever wanted so many characters dead this early in a series. Fortunately, it's Fargo.
  10. Hopefully we already signed him. Woods made 78 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, three pass knockdowns, and one forced fumble over 49 collegiate games at the University of Illinois. The six-foot-two, 290-pound interior defender went unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft.
  11. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed nine players, including American quarterback Terry Wilson Jr. The six-foot-three, 207-pound passer originally committed to the University of Oregon, though he transferred to Garden City Community College following his redshirt freshman season. He played one season with the Broncbusters before moving on to the University of Kentucky and the University of New Mexico. The native of Oklahoma City, Okla. started 31 games with the Wildcats and Lobos, completing 63.2 percent of his passes for 4,501 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. He also carried the ball 307 times for 1,062 yards and 11 touchdowns. The 25-year-old attended rookie minicamp with the Dallas Cowboys after going unselected in the 2022 NFL Draft. He spent the 2022 season with the Houston Gamblers of the USFL, appearing in six games and making one start. The Blue Bombers also signed American receivers Bryce Mitchell and Ontaria Wilson as well as American defensive linemen Nate Givhan and Jamal Woods. Mitchell made 70 receptions for 1,297 yards and 11 touchdowns over 52 games at the University of Toledo. The six-foot-three, 210-pound target was named second-team All-MAC in 2019 after leading the Rockets in receiving yards. Wilson made 108 catches for 1,521 yards and 12 touchdowns over 51 games at Florida State University. The native of Ashburn, Ga. also recorded seven carries for 57 yards and one touchdown along the ground. Givhan spent a portion of the 2023 season on Winnipeg’s practice roster, though he didn’t dress for any regular season games. The six-foot-two, 239-pound edge rusher made 97 total tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and one interception over 47 collegiate games at the University of Toledo. Woods made 78 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, three pass knockdowns, and one forced fumble over 49 collegiate games at the University of Illinois. The six-foot-two, 290-pound interior defender went unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft. Winnipeg has also brought back four Canadian players who were selected in the 2023 CFL Draft, including running back Jonathan Rosery, defensive lineman Collin Kornelson, linebacker Max Charbonneau, and defensive back Bret MacDougall. Rosery, who also plays slotback, led the Alberta Golden Bears in receiving yardage this past season, making 32 catches for 440 yards and three touchdowns. The five-foot-eight, 199-pound native of Edmonton was taken in the seventh round. Kornelson made 17 total tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery playing along the interior of the defensive line for the Manitoba Bisons. The fifth-round pick missed three of the club’s games due to injury. Charbonneau won the President’s Award as the outstanding stand-up defensive player in the OUA this past year while playing for the Ottawa Gee-Gees. The eighth-round pick made 62 total tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and one blocked kick. MacDougall made 30.5 total tackles, two interceptions, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery this past season with the Windsor Lancers. The sixth-round pick helped the club win a home playoff game for the first time since 1975. https://3downnation.com/2023/11/28/winnipeg-blue-bombers-sign-nine-including-qb-terry-wilson-jr/
  12. Going to have to rewatch when I’m sober. Didn’t worry about the outcome til way late in the game. I think we were outcoached. No way we should lose this game.
  13. Yesterday he said he was doing the radio broadcast.
  14. Willie’s going to have at least 3 knockdowns today.
  15. I don’t want to see the Bombers playing not to lose. I want them to dominate like they know they can.
  16. Faj can’t throw downfield so defending him is even easier.
  17. “What rhymes with Fajardo?” Willie-“It’s hard, though”
  18. No “ifs”. I am supremely confident in the Blue and Gold today. Did we even return a kickoff last week? Not according to the CFL game tracker.
