In the face of all available evidence I still hope they can restructure Collaros. I like Masoli but only up to a point. I think Manziel is worth exploring but I worry about the three ring circus he will bring. Red meat for lazy media
Put Zach into an offense that is imaginative & he'll do well. Austin's offense was old & tired. Jones changed things up when he became the Head Coach. I share your views on Masoli & Manziel although all that media would be good for the CFL in the US.

Point being if he has the chance to stay in eastern canada, even if it is less lucrative, I 'll bet he takes it
Understood.

Hamilton has put themselves in a tough spot .. they're humping Manziel's leg while their best current QB is a free agent and Collaros is a spendy non-option.
Nightmare scenario for them: Collaros is cut/traded, Manziel signs, Masoli goes elsewhere and they can't find a decent FA QB.
Having Manziel under center for the first snap of the season would be madness, unless he is indeed some kind of Doug Flutie level talent.
I think he is Doug Flutie talented but he's nowhere near as smart or as team oriented as Doug was. I still think Collaros is still the Ti Cats best option going forward. Not convinced Masoli is a viable long term starting qb in this league. If he was to sign in Montreal I doubt if they'd win more games than they did this season with him as the starter. What do you think Zontar?

Well then, good for him. I doubt if he has much of a choice in the situation he's in. He is hardly a player who'll be picking & choosing.

Ride out the injury no need to make a hasty trade and hope we play .500 or better
Unless they start losing. Then the chips will fall wherever they may.

Those who have not travelled in other countries have no idea of the pitfalls there, In South Korea, for example, if a woman tells a cop that a foreigner looked at her in a way that made her uncomfortable, that inevitably will lead to a conviction (the Koreans are xenophobic), a fine of $10,000 or more and/or several years in jail. Plus an international record as a sexual criminal.
True. You take risks being in other countries. He probably should have walked away when the other guy escalated the disagreement. But where's the US government in all of this? If Trump wants gratitude to make him feel better then this is the guy to do it for.

Sad that he is languishing in jail & that he's being blackmailed for $100,000 US to get out.

Yeah, there was that final semi-clinching backup vs backup game against Calgary where our D beat up Buckley much worse than their D beat the Fever. That was a surprise, given how good the Stamp D and Buckley had looked previously. I thought we were toast in that game.
That was such a weird game to watch. It seemed like Lapo chopped our playbook down to something that you could run at a high school in Spain. Never seen a win where a QB passed for 89 yards before. Lefevour starting was a hell of a slap in the face to the heir apparent D. Davis. Hey, speaking of Bomber free agents, I wonder if DD is going to be a free agent this off-season?
back to the topic at hand, since all Bomber threads are about Richie Hill regardless of their title ... something like 30% of our points were generated off turnovers last year, so all this talk of our O winning despite our D doesn't ring true for me. Sure, if our offense goes to ****, we're not gonna win as many games ... is there a team in football that this is not true for?
We had the top-scoring team in the CFL last year, but there's no way we had the best offensive coaching or the most dominating talent. We had the top-scoring team because our ballhawks repeatedly gave our offense short fields, or scored themselves.
(and also because we'd try a field goal from anywhere inside the 50 yard line, but that's a post for another topic)
Medlock wasn't Mr Automatic so our O had to be more efficient & they were compared to 2016. Our O won more games than our D did in 2017. We outscored other teams more often than our D stopped them.

Good news for the CFL if Manziel signs, cuz it will showcase the league to the US market as folks see what Johnny is up to these days.
Wildcard is Vince's new football league. They better get him signed quickly.

I haven't seen a goalie like that until Kelly Rudy and Grant Fewer.
Don't forget about Jack Plant. He was a gooder.

His one and only positive contribution to the world was his pin-up page on the old CFL Zone
That's where I knew him from. The Zone. He acted liked an 11 year old then & he still acts like an 11 year old now.

Hellebuyck whiffs one. We need better goaltending then that.

Down goes Scheiffle. Just get the feeling the Jets are snake bit. That it's ordained by the Hockey Gods that Jets fans aren't supposed to enjoy success.

Tribute to Johnny Bauer
Horrible horrible shorthanded goal by EDM. Worst goal i seen on Jets this year.
Little ties it up.
Armia makes it 2-1.
Poolparty ties it.
Frosty, it's Bower. C'mon, man.

i'm as diehard a bomber fan as they come but I still won't go slum into other fanbase's forums for the simple fact of riling people up and causing fights.. I mean that went out of style back when I was 12.
Absolutely agree. Why people go on other teams sites just to stir up **** is beyond me. I used to know Migs on a different forum & from that I know that he has a huge inferiority complex when it comes to the Province of Saskatchewan, City of Regina & his Riders. It's actually quite pathetic. Migs used to claim that Rider Nation was bigger than Cowboys Nation or Raider Nation. Not only does Migs feel inferior, he's delusional.

If our offense falters, we'll be in big trouble next year. Our offense wins games. Seldom does our defense with Ritchie Hall calling the schemes.
-
Then O'Shea will go down for this decision if his defense sucks again in 2018. The bar's been raised. No longer is it okay just to make the playoffs & lose. Expectations are that we should win a Grey Cup. If our defense gives up large chunks of real estate against both the pass & run next year, if Hurl is a starter again & we lose in the playoffs there'll be a good chance our HC will be gone. Just because he's stubborn about Hall.

In 1967, Canada's Centennial it was the Leafs vs the Canadiens for the Stanley Cup. Terry Sawchuk & Johnny Bower vs Gump Worsley. How much more Canadian was that??

Even if that is all true, the GM would be an idiot to meddle. You hire a HC to be the HC. If you don't trust him to do what's right for the team, you don't overide him, you fire him.
Well...

If the GM is good at what he does, he lets the HC be the HC. If he's a bonehead, he steps in and mettles. I think Walters is a little too smart to do that. If O'Shea really believes that Hall is the best option, then the HC should have who the HC wants. Everyone involved knows that more is required this coming year. If O'Shea wants to roll with Hall, he knows what happens if things don't work out.
If there's one thing Hall has shown with his defense is that it's consistent on a yearly basis. Consistently putrid. It's what is dragging theBombers down & the reason other teams will have passed us next season.

My first reaction would not have been allowed in this forum. We can learn to live without Bond, but I do not believe we can live with Hall. If Dougie is correct (and his batting average is pretty good), we have another year of misery to look forward to. Sorry, that should have read "to dread". Fornication.
With Hall, it'll be another wasted year with his stupid schemes & player combos. Why the **** do we have a GM? If O'Shea doesn't want to make a move then Walters should step in & do it for him.

Doug Brown speculating, Richie Hall stays and we've seen the last of Heath, Bond, Westerman and Wild in B&G.
If that happens, it's stupid. Plain freaking stupid.

Did the cold affect our team more than the US? Two goal collapse in the third period followed by a dreadful shootout. That. Was. Bad.
