Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to johnzo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
i think cheaping out at DL coach by hiring Thomas is a mistake instead of finding the best available coach was a bad decision. Just the Old Boyz Club recruiting a new member. That's a major downer for me as far as off season grading goes. It takes away from an A off season so far down to a B or B minus. -

The timing of that video was exquisite... (sarcasm). As angry as I was for Hajrullahu playing so badly, I felt so bad for him as it was cringe worthy. It disappeared fast after that game & his release. -
25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The Stamps in one day lost DL Jaylon Hutchings, Rec Mario Alford & LB Jason Roberts to the NFL. That's brutal. I don't care what people say about how great it is for our players to make an NFL team, this just kills interest in the CFL. And really hurts a team like the Stamps struggling to find relevancy in a local market where barely anyone cares anymore. It's like the Stamps are perpetually rebuilding. NFL teams need to compensate CFL teams if they sign anyone under a valid CFL contract. This system is unfair the way it is. It could be us next time. Hate it. -

Thankfully, Castillo makes more than he misses. I just remember the video in 2014 of Liram Hajrullahu making trick field goals from all different angles inside & outside of PAS. He kicked one from inside the concourse, another from the roof of the stadium, one from inside the bathroom with the door closed, the parking lot & even made one from the roof of a moving car on Pembina Highway northbound. Then goes out next game & misses 4 field goals & two converts. Last game he ever played for us. Justin Medlock replaced him. -

Our interior is more of a problem than our D Ends. if we had two guys who could push inside controlling the run & pressuring the passer I;m sure our Ends play would improve greatly. Instead we had this Cheeto defense witha 3 man front featured with jake Thomas. He's gone now sort of. I have hope they actually want to see an improvement. -

Barker did yell like Muamba but he knows the game better from a coaching & scouting perspective. barker knows U Sports & is much more knowledgeable overall about game prep as a coach. Muamba always states the obvious like. "Their defense has to play better". That's all he does. I think Bob Irving thinks twice before swatting a mosquito saying it deserves to live, too. -

Liegghio was lucky that kick was blocked in the 2022 Grey Cup because he missed it anyway. It saved him the embarrassment of having to explain that he choked once more under pressure. Castillo has been money for us since & now some fans think he's just some kind of overpriced kicker that should be replaced by some random rookie player. From a place like Italy or Japan because he costs too much. The guy has kicked 3 field goals of 60 yards or more. -

Glenn Mazur ·dsneSoptor2c339ch87172u5aucuh1gtuif45t61l1i758lma7h90ttht8mt · Sergio Castillo recently posted this.... Blinkeye care wpg has taken care of me for the past 3 years, & recently teamed up with optometrists.mb.ca to gear me up these Armourx glasses!! Comfortable, durable, maybe my wife thinks Im sexier Should I wear these for the upcoming cfl season??? -
In Calgary over a decade ago, local sports radio legend Billy Powers & his wife were killed by their son in their home as they slept. He didn't live with them but snuck into their house as he had a key & bludgeoned them both to death in their bed. Turns out it was BIlly's stepson & his wife's son. He was a father to the guy for over 20 years. I guess he had drug & mental issues. He was in his 30's as well. The guy was totally ****** in the head so I guess that gives him a pass just like Reiner's son.

Is LT McGloster from the Als a FA? He'd be my absolute #1 signing if we can get him. -

SpeedFlex27 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The last guy we drafted really worked out for us, didn't it? Took him 4 years to actually become a pro kicker & get over the jitters. It's all hilarious how everyone thinks no player has value so let's sign everyone to the cheapest contracts possible. Then they wonder why we don't win championships. -

So far so good. Now, they need to sign Castillo. One more test to come with free agency. -

SpeedFlex27 replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Barker may be old & irrelevant to some but the Argos think highly enough of him to rebuild the team the way he sees it. He said he'd be focusing on rebuilding the OL. He knows the league & has many contacts in the NFL & college. The Bombers should be so lucky to have the contacts Barker has in his network. I think he always kept in touch with his college & NFL scouts as well as kept current on CFL goings on as well. -

Pretty obvious that he was fired. Jim Barker said on the Rod Pederson Show at Xmas time that he had a meeting with two producers from TSN before last season. That they wanted to go in a different direction. They fired him. -

No, it's a lot worse now downtown. The homeless sitution is bad & the gangs are in there doing drug deals & recruiting. You have these massively expensive high rise condos downtown & at the doors of these high rises are the dregs of society. Can't take your dog for a walk after dark. Even during the day it's sketchy. i live in SE Calgary about 20 miles away. the only reason I came downtown the past 10 years was for a surgical consult with my orthopedic surgeon & for follow ups after surgery at the AB Hip & Knee Clinic. Otherwise, I have everything we need where we live. Never go downtown anymore. People have been robbed, assaulted, knifed & murdered on the C Train station platforms going in & out of downtown. -

Koala & Thomas are gonzo as players. Great news for the OL. It's too bad that Osh hung on to these guys for so long. They were so bad that they actually became the butt of bad jokes here & on the rest of social media. Any respect fans had for them as players disappeared years ago. That should never happen. -

SpeedFlex27 replied to johnzo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
All these "mind boggling" contracts are signed Canadians for the most part except for wide receivers like Lawler who are game breakers. Canadians get paid more because only 7 start therefore they are a more valuable commodity. The only way to stop it is to get rid of the ratio. There is no other way. -

I wouldn't walk downtown on or near the Stephen Avenue Mall in downtown Calgary at night. It was dangerous 20 years ago when it got dark & workers poured out of the downtown oil & gas skyscrapers using City buses or the C Train. It's even worse now over an even bigger area that includes Olympic Plaza & City Hall. -

SpeedFlex27 replied to johnzo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I take it that GCn20 & others here wants to get rid of the ratio so we can stop paying all those annoying Canadians more money than they deserve. That's what it's going to come down to, In order to stop the overpaying, we have to get rid of the ratio so we can sign cheaper American players in their place. Maybe the answer is lowering the ratio to 4 starters? Two? -
