LB corpse?

Emilus is a great Canadian receiver. Cory Mace has created the same atmosphere Osh did during our hey day in 2019-22. Guys want to play there. Buck did the Riders a huge favour when he turned the Riders HC job down.

Go Jets!

Most qbs are a little younger than Colaros like in their late 20's & the early 30's. Thinking about Rourke in BC, Alexander in BC & Adams in Calgary. I think the Riders, Hamilton & us are the most vulnerable if Harris, Collaros or Mitchell go down. . But even the Riders have Maier who would be a good transitional qb to another long term starter. Hamilton has Taylor Powell who has shown flashes that he can play in the CFL but Milanovich won't give him even a little bit of playing toime so will he stay there or go elsewhere? Could we entice him to come here if we can't sign Elgersma? The Argos have Kelly & Arbuckle but I think Nick will be playing somewhere else, but where? The Als are set for years with Davis Alexander....

they have McDavid & Draisaital. And a second & third scoring line. We got Connor & Scheifle & not much else.

The alternative going forward without him isn't very promising. We have no succession plan. We had years to get that done & didn't.

Hope it's more than a depth signing. As in Center.

There's qualified coaches out there at the U Sport level who could come up & be great DL coaches who never get a chance. They languish hoping for an opportunity to coach in the CFL & Osh gives an important coaching position to Thomas. like it's nothing. Just one of his Boyz with absolutely no coaching experience. Just cuz he played (debatable) doesn't mean he can coach. Mind boggling.

I hope he's back & we sign him for 2 years.

Yep, the litmus test will be free agency. If he does well, I'll change my tune. Until then, nope. Bringing Thomas & Hogan back as coaches is a big red flag for me.

Teams are using up what's left of the cap money from this season before January 1st. I'm hoping we still have some money left over for players we'd like back & not given to deadweight veterans who shouldn't be here. I'd like to see Sergio Castillo back for sure. But this is Kyle Walters our GM we're talking about. He's just as likely to sign him as to let him walk.

With that lineup, how can the Oilers be 13th???

Exactly why giving Walters a 3 year deal was a mistake. He didn't deserve to come back. Should have been fired. Yet, there he is packaged. gift wrapped & sealed for delivery to us, the fanbase for three more ******* years. What did he do to deserve 3? The Old Boyz Club in Winnipeg is going strong. Osh & Walters three more years. Thomas, well if they don't play him then give him a full time coaching job at a position where he failed to excel. Ever. Keep Hogan around as a running back coach when he failed as an OC. Most team that would also be a firing. Here?? Hogan gets a nice soft big chair to sit on at PAS & gthe drinks are on the house.

I'd like to see what a different GM would do. Preferably from outside the organization but we never get the chance to find out.

Just a few more days of peace & goodwill. I was dancing the rest of the game once the Bombers wiped out that Ti Cat lead.

You can thank Noeller for that nickname. He can't spell Kolankowski. Lol. In 2 plus years.

I got a job transfer to Calgary in 1990. Let me tell you that it was one of the most stressful things our family ever went thru. It took months to get settled plus my wife was pregnant & due in three months.

Guys I'd not re-sign. Stephan Logan, Chase Artoepus, Cody Case, Shayne Gauthier, Gavin Cobb, Joey Corcoran & Chris "Koaaala" Kolankowski.

Like being fired at Xmas by your boss. It just isn't done. Till the first or 2nd week of january. Let players, like employees have Xmas with their families.

Yeah, there's a few veterans getting long in the tooth which means they're expensive & don't contribute like they used to who should go.

Another CFL great said some bad things about Winnipeg when he was traded to the Argos from the Bombers. D i c k Thornton was angry that he never got a chance to compete for the starting qb position with Ken Ploen (as he thought he was much better) & was an All Canadian Safety with the Bombers. He once paid a bunch of kids to carry signs around Winnipeg Stadium during a game saying, "We Want Thornton!" His blow ups on the practice field & Coaches office with Bud Grant were well known. Grant grew tired of the guy's antics & traded him to the Argos who were the worst team in the CFL at the time to teach him a lesson during the 1966 season. Thornton said to the Winnipeg media when he left, "The best thing about Winnipeg are the roads leading out of it." Interestingly enough, after Grant left Winnipeg at the end of 1966, he contacted Thornton & offered him a SS position on the MInnesota Vikings. The team he took over from Norm Van Brocklin. No offer to try to unseat Joe Kapp was forthcoming from Grant. Thornton declined & stayed with the Argos feeling his chances to make more $$ in the CFL was better than the Vikings as he was established. Thornton, I believe, never had another thing more to do with the Blue Bombers even as an Alumni.

Leave it to Hervey to trade someone right over Xmas disrupting his family. Couldn't wait till after New Years.

Imagine had Osh brought that deadweight back??

Kelly has found a better road. He's found happiness but has regrets for what happened. Brock & his agent Giol Scott were acting like total asshats when he wanted out of Winnipeg. He did what he could to get out of his contract so he could sign as a free agent in the NFL. When he was in LA with the Rams, he wished he was back here with the Bombers. Yeah, Kelly made some mistakes but he never killed or hurt anyone. He said some dumb things & acted badly. Obviously, he was struggling with both his personal & professional life. I think he was going thru a bad patch in his life. But like I said that was 20 years ago...

How can anyone laugh at Harris anymore? If he was our qb this season we may have challenged for the Grey Cup. Sorry, he's earned his stripes & should be respected as nhe earned it.
