The Jets are absolutely not going anywhere... That's patently absurd. A tank and rebuild could absolutely be lived through no problem.
Yeah, okay. Whatever you say. You sound like Neville Chamberlain coming home to London after his meeting with Hitler's Nazis in 1939 holding up that useless piece ot toilet paper that was supposed to be a treaty & gleefully proclaiming, "There will be peace in our time." You have no clue either.

It was probably sarcasm.
Cautiously optimistic about Condell, but im guessing he was plan B after Miller took the Argos head coaching job. No idea why you would bring Hogan back in any capacity. Youve gotta figure there’s some animosity/bad vibe’s there with a few players. Pretty stupid decision.
When someone gets promoted in business & fails they're usually fired, Not given their old job back. Nutty decision. If he's that great of a coach then another team will hire him. If note? Well there's always the local high school.

Ouch!!! Lol.

This should we pursue.
He may have NFL opportunities. having said that, when you make your wide receiver, qb & top pass rusher the top paid players at their positions, they can't keep all. Some good players will not be back. I just keep thinking Jeremy O'day is going to have so much fun telling all the ego maniacs on that roster that they can't afford to p[ay all of them. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Mr. O' Day.

You're also incredibly negative around the whole year. Yeah it was a bad year and a real downer but their record was pretty much where they were.
Yeah, I get it. Am I happy? No, I make no bones about it. There's stuff that goes on (especially last year) that I didnt like. I've never been an "In The Canadian Mafia We Trust" kinda guy. Expect more criticism if I'm still unhappy & until I'm convinced the three Wise Guys in charge turn things around.
BTW, I generally take as good as I get. Meaning you & others will give me **** for this post but I don't care. And guess what? I hope I'm wrong. (Pssst. I'm actually a little bit excited about our chances with the moves we've made). Jake move to coaching to me is meh. But the others? Right on. Now, if we have a big Day One of free agency then we might be back to making the Riders our ******* again & win the West. So, yeah, I'm kinda thinking we may have a chance. We'll see in February.
BTW, as to my negativity... Do you ever see me criticizing Zach Collaros? Did I say Brady was overpaid? That we should have let him walk & replace him with some American back who is cheaper. I defended both players.
Did I ever say Zach's washed up like I constantly read on this forum, ad nauseum??? Nope, I still believe in the guy despite the noise created by you & all the other posters that don't. I happen to think he has one more run left in him & I hope he shows up all the nay sayers on this board. Like Trevor Harris did.

Coaching/teaching at the pro level is no easy task. With out question he could provide value as a coach at some level. if that level is pro or not we won’t know. Other wise we’d be loaded with great position coaches, and we aren’t.
your right, that is pretty rare. Usually, the guys who do make that move spend a couple years filling gaps in front office and coaching staffs till earning spots.
that’s very interesting
agree with most of that. My concern with hogan is he showed some serious red flags with fairly low to moderate pressure.
Hogan threw his players under the bus a couple of times. A coach needs to fall on his sword for his guys. Not blame them for losing.

I don't think it was.... I mean as much as they had some close games they probably could have lost, they also had some close games they probably could have won. So a 10-8 record is probably where they ought to be. One game better than .500, it's not like it was some fantastic record and they got a home playoff game out of it or anything.
We won some games we had no business winning. There was more of that than the team losing games they should have won. The whole year was a downer.from watching Dobson & Lawler walk, the lack of free agent signings to the putt putt putt offense we had. I've never seen a more uninspired 10-8 team as there was last season.

He won’t tho since the other owner of the jets is the richest owner in the nhl. Chipman and Thompson are committed to Winnipeg and the downtown hence all the upcoming developments around the area. I mean really.
When the fans turn away from the team there's always a danger that the owners may say they can get a better deal elsewhere.

Most teams would waive Nyquist and Pearson and prob Schenn to the minors. Toews possibly also.
I think I’d tank this season. It’s a good draft. We need young talent. Yager has potential. Chibrikov also. Salo I like lots. Dom the goalie looks good. But outside of that not much currently on the moose. Couple interesting prospects in the ohl and ncaa. Top 4 D for sure in Sasha and possibly top 6 center in Walton. Top 9 let’s say. He looks good also but He won’t be ready for a few seasons. We lack tho a top 3 forward prospect tho currently. Yager definitely top 6 potential but he’s not that big either so. You need a top 5 pick. Ideally win the draft and get a franchise player.
We tank & we're a good one foot & a quarter more through the door that leaves Winnipeg. We can't survive with crowds of 12 & 13000 just like the old Jets couldn't. Chipman can sell this team for over a billion dollars to some American outfit to move it to an American city with 4 times the population. Just watch what happens if we tank.

wasnt it like 50k a yr moving up to the next collective bargaining agreement?
Lat yr 400k bump was a precentage of the new rev the league got from its rev sharing part of deal....so that first big bump may not be the norm yr in and yr out...or it could be even greater...Too bad the League isnt a bit more transparent about it...or putting it out there for all to see
Maybe this yr its up another 300....400k in addition to the 50k....so essentially almost a million higher than 2024
I think it's up. igniificantly. Plus we had a lot of wiggle room to sign Brady & Demski. I think most of that is gone now.

This is like the Giants & Jets moving from downtown New York to the Meadowlands, NJ about 20 or so miles away. It's in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Kansas City Kansas & Kansas City , MO may be two separate identities in 2 separate States so it's probably not a big deal to Chiefs fans in that way. KC is all one big city. Back in the day, before Winnipeg & the surrounding cities amalgamated in 1971, it would bave been like the Bombers having Winnipeg Stadium in St. James but not actually in Winnipeg. It was no big deal. They weren't the St James Blue Bombers. The sad part is the NFL losing an iconic football stadium like Arrowhead.

almost every qb turned successful hc failed as a player. That’s the single strongest pipeline of coaches/offensive minds.
For hogan being back, 🤢. Not super surprised but disappointed.
Very happy jake is retiring. For him becoming the dl coach, I see more positives than negatives.
On one hand, He isn’t the type of guy i’d go to normally for a dl coach. Interior lunch bucket type guy.But, he has played beside a ton of great dl. And he’s played roles that was supposed to enable them to do their job better. If he’s soaked up the tech from guys like roh, patterson, etc then he will be in a great position.
There is an incredible amount of resources to coach the nuances of pass rushing and run stopping. We’ve come a very long way from the days of reading the chapter on dl play from buddy ryan’s book. If jake doesn’t have a lock on that side he can easily get it if he wants to succeed.
As a player I never really saw it from him, but he did have a ton of motor (when he could actually move lol.Our dl coaching hasn’t shined in a very long time. The addition by subtraction of jake leaving the field is huge. A change at coaching the position will likely yield at least a bit of an improvement in that area.
One thing the CFL doesn't do is bring in more qualified Canadian coaches from U Sports. They'd rather promote an inexperienced player than a coach who may have also been a former CFL player but found success in coaching at that level that is ready to make the jump.

The only thing I'll say about Jake is he had one move. Bull rush. He held his head up with his left hand in his 3 point stance. .He just charged ahead & was pushed back. If he coaches technique like that... He would have been better served to coach at the U Sport level & learn his craft. Maybe come back in 4 or 5 years. Coaching is a lot different than playing. Hogan should have been shown the door but I guess they felt bad for him & felt they owed him a spot.

Look up Mulamba & Bilukudi in any CFL & NFL stats book. See if you can even find them. They led both leagues in Most Invisible & I Don't Give A **** categories.

Last year's inaction has provided him with a great opportunity to use up last year's SMS, so far it appears like he is at least doing that 4 months too late.
Yeah, it's helping now but we all wanted him to do it last off season as we had a Grey Cup hosting year.

True. His loss in that case. We can trade him or tell him to retire then like we did with Mulumba
For 4 years we had daily & monthly updates on Mulamba & Bikudi(?) ... "They're COMING!!!!" They'd all scream on Our Bombers (please shut up, not again!!!) when Mulamba & the other dude both got kicked off yet another NFL PR. Yeah, well they both stayed in the NFL practicing for years & never played in either league.

Just now, GCn20 said:
Whether it's FA. or trade, he can't bring mediocrity to camp in his signings anymore. All we've seen over the past 3 years is KW mismanage the SMS so that allstars leave for more cash only to be replaced by middle of the road FA talent. That can't happen anymore, our well of all-stars is dry. Time after time we chose cheap over performance and look what it got us last year. He has to do whatever it takes to free up the cash to be effective, if that means making hard choices on Bombers who are underperforming on their salary level so be it. The BO contract shows me that he still does not understand that concept though.
The Bombers 10-8 record last year was pure luck. They should have missed the playoffs had the ball bounced the other way. More like 7-11 or 8-10. The Bomber braintrust can say we had a winning record & made the playoffs. But we all watched the team & they were fortunate to winas many games as they did. The team will either bounce back or fall off a cliff, I believe. A lot depends on Walters getting off his duff & actually doing the work needed this off season. So far, the early signs seem promising.

KW is responsible for who comes to camp. 100% on him. Terrible GMing last offseason. He needs a big offseason this year.
Let's hope he learned a lesson from his arrogance of last off season. That we didn't need any impact free agents.
7 hours ago, wbbfan said:wow fajardos money is not what i expected. Even with them burying almost 200k this year on the cap and 35k in none cap money they gave him the ability to earn almost 450k.
I would’ve bet they’d go after kelly, but idk with this money.
The Argo HC said Kelly is the starter so I doubt he'd leave. With a year off, he should be good to go. BTW, some are saying that Patrick Mahomes may have to miss the 2026 season with his torn ACL.

The streamer world with people who 24/7 live stream is such a bizarre world. It's so much fakery to entice 12 - 15 year old boys into believing it's real and for those kids to donate money to encourage the streamer to continue doing stupid ****. The stupid viewers actually think that these guys own mansions and luxury sports cars when in reality they are flat broke trying to maintain "the image".
This broccoli head Jack Doherty is one of and possibly the worst. He's currently desperate for attention since his 5 minutes are up and he needs to get into altercations to get a few eyes back on him to earn some money. At some point he will end up pissing off the wrong person and end up dead. Playing with fire.
I didn't realize that kid I mentioned was Doherty. I agree. He will be killed one day along with his bodyguard.

Walters has done a good job so far with bringing back Brady, Demski, Lawson, Kramdi and Nichols, while also extending Wilson. Who else does everybody want back?
Walters needs to sign Sergio. This should be a slam dunk so I hope it happens.

I know Vaval had a tryout with NY Jets but would be great to get him back.
We hope he comes back. i care about the Bombers. I don't care if players leave to go to the NFL. Great for them but sucks for us. I reslly wish if we have a player under contract who signs an NFL deal that we be compensated by the team that signs him. This happens in soccer, I believe.
