CFL - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread

The OL has been the big problem all season. Until the coaches get that straightened around we'll continue to struggle.offensively That's all private info. It's never discussed publicly. -
CFL - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The funny thing about the ownership in Calgary with football. Murray Edwards the Stamps owner refuses to put a penny on a new stadium because it's owned by the U of C. Run by a non profit Corp called the McMahon Stadium Society. So, when it comes to football he won't spend a cent. The new arena for the Flames is not owned by him either. It's owned by the City of Calgary. He will own all parking, concessions, all merch sold & revenue from all other concerts there. In return, he'll provide maintenance for the new building over the life of the 30 year lease. Edwards won't do that for McMahon Stadium. I guess there are no revenue streams available from that old dump to make it worthwhile. Edwards could get the ball rolling on a new stadium away from the U of C where he could be the sole owner or work out a deal similar to that of the new Flames arena. He doesn't want that, either. You wonder why he bought the team in the first place. I think he should sell to someone who is interested in making the Stamps a much better organization. Probably wants $30 million. -
As you know, I can't stand Scarf Boy. I think he's a useless ****. I just hope that his act is wearing thin with the Governors.

No suspension for Brown. I'm hoping that Miller's public criticism of Ambrosie marks the beginning of the end of his reign of error. I notice Miller didn't get fined. I don't think he'd dare fine him with the influence he has with the other BOG's.

The 30, and the (d)evolution of our front scheme.
SpeedFlex27 replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
You know, I respected your football knowledge before but now?? Off the charts, wbbhan. Great description of defensive fronts & recap of the history of our defense since 2019. That is a must read for any Bomber fan wondering what happened to our crushing defensive philosophy in 2019 & 2021. No idea why the Bombers went away from this philosophy to what we have now. We have a few outstanding posters here who should be coaching young players & developing them. Hint, hint. . -
The coaches don't talk to the media let alone the fans about these kinds of things. There's seems to be a lot of mistrust & contempt for (what's left of) the locsl media by Osh's coaching staff. Don't know why as I think the media in Winnipeg has been very supportive of the Bombers & Osh since 2018..

MNF: No-Longer-LOLks @ Crappiest Stadium In The League

Maybe the Elks have crabs. -
Well, he explained it & it's all good.

It's pretty clear to me that Buck thinks that Streveler can't. I just have no idea why we signed him.

They're doing some strange hings in Stampsville. Diedrick Mills left the team a month ago for personal reasons. He came back lastr week & Dickenson puts him on the PR. They need the guy in the backfield desperately & it looks like he's being punished. -
Why will the CFL brain trust never learn?
SpeedFlex27 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
You can't have a tandem block on the LOS. No double teaming. Someone blocks a guy high while another chop blocks the legs. Leaves the player defenseless to injury. I think Bighill's block was legal. -
Got our 2 tickets. Coming in from Calgary.
-
Okay, you convinced me. My take on Maksymic is wrong.
-
It's only a thought. Woukld probably never happen here. I actually think that Jordan Younger is the new heir apparent here. Buck's stock seems to have fallen sharply. Our D despite some strange roster decisions from our HC is playing pretty well.
-
I'd be interested in Jordan Maksymic. I think he's the best OC in the CFL. He might be able to bring a few free agent Lions with him. Hoewver, he'll be the next Lions HC by the time Osh leaves.

Corey mace said today that the Riders aren't having any fun. Good. I hope they're miserable.

MBT is a better qb. Maier forces the ball into tight spaces & his balls just float & are picked off easily. -
I didn't know what your point was. I was left a bit confused by why you would post that after my comments about Jauch. Some of the older fans here would have remembered him leaving the Bombers & being replaced by cal Murphy. The younger fans here probably never knew. So, i thought I'd tell that story. If you meant no insult then I'm not offended.

The Stamps sign Matthew Schilz & he wastes away on the bench. -
The greatest Bomber Head Coaches in my lifetime. 1. Grant 2. Osh 3. Murphy 4. Mike Riley 5. Jauch
-
Miller? Nah, don't think so... Maybe 5 or 6 years from now.
-
Or he's released & we'll never know as the team will never tell.

I think a lot of players feared Cal. They were prepared to play because they were afraid not to be. Whereas, O'Shea is a players coach who sticks with his players through good & bad. With Cal, if someone made a mistake that cost them a game the chances are they'd be gone. Both coaching styles win. Just different philosophies. I never said that but carry on.

Jauch was a spectacular CFL head coach but he never stayed with one team long enough to get the rankings the guys who coached long term with one team. Like, Grant, Wally, Frank Clair & Osh. I never understood why Jauch bugged out so fast to go coach the Washington Federals in the USFL when he had such a great team here. He was like Chris Jones. He couldn't wait to leave. The Bombers had a news conference in August of 1982 to announce he was leaving. They were being productive as the news would have broke he was leaving & become a distraction. Unfortunately, Jauch became a lame duck head coach. I'll never forget Jauch & Earl Lunsford at that news conference. Neither looked at each other & they sat 10 feet apart. Pretty awkward atmoshere. Obvious to me that they had a shouting match once Lunsford found out as Jauch was still under contract. I'm sure Lunsford wanted to fire him but realized the team was as good as Edmonton that year so he kept him around. So, they compromised by announcing his departure. Coaching in the USFL was a disaster for Jauch. He had a last place team & fired after his first loss in his second year

Calgary is just a nothing burger as a team. Beggelton is their only receiver. Nobody else catching the ball is a threat. No run game. Their OL is sub par even with their starters in there. Forget injuries on the OL as it doesn't matter. They're bad no matter what. Defensively, their Front 7 is pretty good but their secondary is a mess.
