  1. We look like we're on the cusp of a big losing streaak with injuries staring to effect the lineup. Will Brady even make it to a thousand yards rushing under Hogan? We may not even have a thousand yard receiver. What happened to Wheatfall?
  2. His charges were dropped. Looks like he was falsely accused but he's radioactive still.
  3. I remember I was 18 sitting in one of my two season ticket seats that were on the 55 yard line in Section V at Winnipeg Stadium. We were in the middle of an 8 game losing streak in 1973. There was this BC Lions fan who was enjoying the Bombers getting beat up on the field as we plummetted to last place in the West that season after Earl Lunsford tore apart our first place team from 1972 much like Kyle Walters did this past off season. The guy was loving the fact that Stan Brown took over from a departed Mack Herron. Brown was no Mack Herron, that's for sure averaging a bit over 4 yards a carry. He kept yelling out, "Where's "Smack Heroin??" all game long. Finally, by the beginning of the 4th quarter I couldn't take it any longer & told that hosebag to shut his effing mouth. I was ready for him to jump at me wanting to fight. He never did. He sat down & never said another word. I wanted him to come at me but he didn't. POS Lions fan.
  4. Now, we have no HC or GM under contract for nest season. I expect that changes will be made this off season. They have to go 7-3 the rest of the way to equal last year. Could be doable but I have my doubts with this years team. More likely an AD in the Ontario Conference of U Sports.
  5. My position would be called Team Historian & Curator
  6. What's it been, 12 seasons now of the Walters & Osh regime? At one time, we used to say that the Bombers needed continuity as we made too many GM & head coaching changes. Now, we've gone full circle & it seems that familairity breeds contempt. The Canadian Mafia has been together for too long. They've gone soft. Walters & Osh have lost their edge. Stupid personnel & coaching decisons the past 3 seasons have cost this team dearly. Time for a change before this team truly goes over a cliff losing games.
  7. It's with us for good. The media have sensationalized headlines making it look like the newest variant is dangerous. Then you read a story & they always mention near the end that symptoms are similar to what we know & about as infectious. Burying your head? Gimmee a break. It's called being realistic. Get vaccinated when eligible & carry on with your life.
  8. Badly miss him? Lol, what a joke. Walters disembowled our receiving corps. In a Grey Cup hosting year, too. Refuses to spend any money. The fanbase is giving the team profits like they've never seen & that's the thanks we get.
  9. All ado about nothing, Get used to Covid being around. Why even dredge this sad sack discussion up from 2020? Any of you can choose to live your lives in fear or go forward from here.
  10. Par for the course in the Pacific Ring of Fire. We just hope the West Coast of Canada & the US remain safe for a few more hundred to a thousand years hence from "the big one" that will eventually occur.
  11. Couldn't they have just moved indoors?
  12. If we don't start playing much better, these sellouts are going to come to an end. A lot on the line for the Bombers.
  13. He's the Head Coach. Absolutely he has last say.
  14. Let's hope Younger keeps it up & isn't overruled by Osh.
  15. Become President & GM? That would be a monumental task. I think a new title would be needed for Wade. Something like, Team President & Director of Football Operations. I think if Walters did leave that the job of GM would fall to Danny McManus. If not living here in the off season is part of the arrangement. Would that even work? Twelve seasons with no change at GM & Head Coach is an eternity in pro sports. I think something has to give.
  16. I went thru that same injury many years ago & it truly is life altering as the knee joint never, ever fully recovers. It's misery years later when the knee eventually stops functioning. Schoen will keep tweaking it from time to time on the field causing him to miss an unknown amount of games in the future. I was told by someone here recently that today's surgical procedures are so much better than they were when I got injured. True but you can't change how severely that injury damages the joint. Medical science can't change that outcome, unfortuntely. Schoen's injury took place a year ago. By now, arthritis is starting to set in even with better surgical techniques & rehab.
  17. Walter's the guy who put us in this position at qb & receiver & you expect him to fix it?? Our GM is way past his expiry date. He used to be so sharp & had it together. Now? He's like a 2L milk jug that went sour in the fridge. Wow, is this team ever .....
  18. We could be in the qb wilderness for years like Edmonton because of the way Walters & Osh messed up the qb position.
  19. We can't play Streveler if Zach is making nearly $600,000 a year & Streveler $180,000. Bonus for us (ho boy!) is next year Zach has guaranted money- 50%, so $250-$300,000. No team will pick up his contract for that. Lots of strange decisions were made by Walters this past off season but this is a crippler financially.
  20. We're lucky to have BC & Edmonton in our division.
  21. If both aren't under contract, how do you sell the fanbase on new deals. if they're 6-12?
  22. Interim sure but there's no way Walters fires Osh with no new contract himself. Hey Noeller, you want to lose some sleep? If the losses continue both Head Coach & GM don't have new contracts. Both get fired at the end of the season. Or one or both walk. Have a good sleep.
  23. It's a young coach league now. Age & experience are a negative, it seems. Patterson will be 64 in December. if anything, he would be a transition head coach if they failed to land the guy they really wanted.
  24. Actually Bryant could be back next game for all we know so going up tempo with our older veterans makes no sense. Even with just two guys sucking wind, that leaves them tired & missing blocks in the 3rd & 4th quarter.
