How?

Thank you. Tuesday to Thursday was the worst. I was knocked flat on my back with fever, chills, muscle aches. sore throat & deep cough. Slept a lot. Felt a little better Friday & a big rebound day on Saturday. Think I'm over the worst.

To make matters worse for me, I tested positive for Covid on Monday & have been sick all week. I missed Thanksgiving with my family in Portland this year.

Terrified? Zach wouldn't be playing pro football if he was terrified.

Things changed because of injury. It wasn't a natural progression.

"Zach Collaros is my starting qb", says Mike O'Shea as he butts into this conversation. Why are people even arguing this point? Dru Brown has played his last game asa Blue Bomber. Zach is O'Shea's guy. We all know that.

No, check out Farhan Lalji & Dave Naylor's discussion on TSN during GC week. It isn't pretty & not all 3 will be back. In the meantime, work to sign veteran free agents has already started with other CFL teams but not us. There's no one there who can do the work, according to Naylor & Lalji. So. I didn't make it up. The info comes from TSN. Listen to sources.

How do you know what kind of budget Dickenson has? Are you Murray Edwards? Also, the C &A Cap is separate from the Players Cap.

We don't have a GM or 2 Asst GMs right now. Well, officially as of December 31st. anyway. All we have is Mike OShea running the show. The other 3 don't have contracts or the authority to redo contracts or make decisions. They're lame ducks getting paid (for now) to do little, if any work. Thanks to Randy Ambrosie & The CFL Board of Dinosaurs for the damned Admin Cap nobody wants & Wade Miller for making O'Shea The Guy.

If I work in a union then why would I want my union dues to finace my union leader's or some other union leader's fetish to own a team with someone else's money? I'd say **** him. It's not that simple. The fanbase in Calgary want a new stadium but it's fallen on deaf ears from ownership to local poliricians for a quarter of a century. Stamps fans see other CFL cities get new buildings. They don't so now they're staying home as McMahon is a dump with no atmosphere or buzz, They're tired of all their stars walking in free agency because the owner doean't care. They're talking with their wallets. & won't buy tickets. Now, James Vaughters has signed a 2 year deal this past week so maybe Murray Edwards has finally clued in. Management is a mess. Dickenson can't handle being a HC & GM. He was told by Hufnagel that he had to take on more than just being the HC because of the Coaches & Admin cap & so he did.

"Yeah, but..." I'll let you fill in the rest of the sentence when it comes to Mike O'Shea & his loyalty to his veterans. So, what's this about Dru Brown taking over??? Ain't happening.

Johnny, he may also play like Dustin Crum. If Brown wants to leave to play in Ottawa then I say more power to him. The money is green but the grass isn't always.

The thread hasn't had a comment in 3 years so why is it being brought back? It also contravenes the rules of this forum. Read Rich's comments about the policies on posting from this past September.

He needs to do what's best for his wife & family. Just let it rest there.

If Brady thinks his 1,500 plus yards is given for an NFL contract then he should think again. The market in the NFL for a slower, straight ahead power back isn't limitless. He won't write his own ticket. He'll be a second or third down situational back that are younger, just as powerful & have more speed. At best, I see him languishing on the PR of some team next season. Brady is good, don't get me wrong but every college team in the US have fullbacks like Brady.

Post Media will eventually lay him off as they have no heart.

Castillo had a great season. What do you mean only with competition?? That's nuts.

Oh yeah, a **** qb made that throw. If MOS stays & is the man in charge then expect things to continue next season like they did this season.

We've brought no one in. NO ONE in 2 years. There have been free agents we could have signed but didn't. LIke WTF??? Once he left, we became soft again like we were in 2016. Our D is no better than what we had under Ritchie Hall 5 or 6 years ago.

It all starts on the DL. We were big & physical. The Bombers defensively are a shell of themselves today. We gave up 184 points in 14 games in 2021.

Agree but to say Fajardo is still a sack of **** is ridiculous. He isn't.

C'mon Noeller, Fajardo threw for 290 yards & 2 touchdowns & made some great throws. He didn't throw a lot of picks & was a very good game manager. If he had played for anyone other than the Riders, fans would be happy for him. It's time fans here gave the guy credit where credit is due. He reminded me of Sean Salisbury when we won the GC in 1988 coming out of nowhere at 9-9 as the third seed in the East. Salisbury knew his limitaions & played within them game managing the Bomber offense letting others make the big play. He beat Hamilton in Hamilton, then the Argos in Toronto at Exhibition Stadium & a BC Lions team in the GC in Ottawa led by Matt Dunigan.

O'Shea will throw a wrench in all of this by keeping most of his veterans.

O'Shea won't part with veterans or coaches he likes. He'll still mismanage the roster. Nothing will change. Yeah, he is a problem.

Playing scared at that point. Ritchie needs to be shown the door but we know that won't happen.
