Pickle Rick

Didn't Calvillo go to 8 Grey Cups in 10 years, and only win 3 of them?

Was at the game last night, I was telling the wife about how buzz and boomer used to absolutely wail on the green drop. A guy behind us overheard us and pulled out his 88 grey cup ring, and let me & my young one try it on. He had some sort of admin position with the bombers back then, not exactly sure. Anyways, last night stung but I am proud to be a Bomber fan, lots of good old boys in blue and gold in the crowd last night. F*CK the Als & F*CK the riders & F*CK everyone else, GO BLUE

Outside looking in:
1) Clarify Walters' situation as the man in charge of the next evolution, ASAP.
2) 2 years remaining on 600k/yr is a spicy meatball. Particularly if being back in the GC next year or more particularly the following year when you host is the goal. I think you have to cut bait. We'll see.
3) Ruthlessness. This roster is overdue for some pruning. Seeing a few familiar names go can hurt. Time to be cruel-to-be-kind (in the right measure).
4) Not a disaster, but worth noting that being out-adjusted at HT in the GC is a bad trend. Evolution happens to coaching staffs too.
 
Tough beat, guys. Sucks to play your worst in the most important game of the season. Ask me how I know.

I would consider getting rid of the following, Collaros, Neufeld, have a talk about Bryant/Hardrick taking pay cuts, Jeffcoat, Thomas, Bighill, Rose, and Alexander. Now I’m not talking about getting rid of all those guys but there has to be some tough discussions and we have to get younger and cheaper, we have some younger guys looking for raises, and that will have to come at the expense of some of those players..

But why is Collaros so shallow in the pocket? If he needs to let a play develop, why is he taking a short drop and getting backed into by his guards?
The roster usage is overblown. It affected us today because we were playing injured players (hugely dumb move), but in general hasn't killed us this year (though easily could - I am on the roster mismanagement side).

I am so pissed right now, I'd send Zach to Ottawa for a 1st rounder, let Pierce go coach in Saskatchewan, cut Biggie, send Hall off to retirement and I don't know what to do with MOS

We are all angry and hurting but I gotta speak up on this one. The Bombers have been consistently great for the past three seasons and very good before that. Obviously blew it twice in the Cup games but overall they have been one of the best teams in the league consistently. 

No.  It's literally impossible.

I don't think the bolded is true really, I don't recall a honeymoon period the bombers (& us fans) got to enjoy when the winning began at all.  At the start of this run most the talk was around Hamilton and their super team, then the media shifted to Toronto, and BC last few. It is strange, because you could say it's big market bias but if its was the gappers on this run they'd be fully celebrated... Its.... annoying. 
And half of the media is picking Montreal to win lol. The same media types that all fully supported Argos in the East Final, and the same media that would've been united in crowning the Argos right now if they had got past the Als.

He suffers from smartest guy in the room syndrome for sure. Pretty good on the call but takes his own opinions entirely too seriously.

I'd just like to turn on my tv and have my dominant team be given some respect 😆

No they won't,  they'll call it  a swan song and next year all about the lions and als and argos and new and improved riders!

it's been said a whole bunch, but it bears repeating: Because this fan base supports the team no matter what... through losing and winning and whatever.... we never need to be propped up like BC/Tor/etc. Never need to be fellated like the Gappers do. So nobody outside of this little 204 bubble gives a **** about us, and honestly would prefer that we weren't talked about at a league level. People HATE that the Bombers are now consistently good (in the midst of a true dynasty) and can't wait for this to end so they can go back to ignoring us. 

Post script:
Hey nice to see you. Thanks for dropping by.
Argos suck.

There is no explaining that dumbassary.

Wins are a team stat. This is not a QB award for having the best record. 
 
I would be embarrassed for the media, but they're just out there living vicariously through the players. 
Ford was more outstanding than Kelly. 

Not to go to another team though, I think that’s the main thing. 
Walters (or anyone) leaving for a non-CFL job/family reasons is believable. Walters going to Hamilton, not so much. 

Like everyone else I love and appreciate ZC8 but if I'm being honest my only 2 concerns for this game are Zach being off and Buck trying more fancy-pants nonsense with Prukop at a critical juncture.
That play call inside the 5 in the 4th against BC just made me wince.
I guess Castillo makes me a bit nervous of late, too.
But then I remember the D and the opposing qb and I smile and sigh.
