JBombers

I'm not worried... at this point, I'm 100% confident O'Shea will be in Winnipeg for another 3 years...
PS: you quoted me as I was simultaneously quoted you here...

Ed Tait, earlier this morning on TSN 1290, mentioned that Pierce was approached numerous time before but declined and wants to stay in Winnipeg. 

Thigpen.

nah, Miller is The Godfather, and you definitely don't go against him....

And if we deserve an asterisk, #2013 should have an asterisk because of salary cap shenanigans. What did Geroy do for that one year he worked for the Riders after he retired anyway...?

Well, from the Rider point of view:
Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2019 Grey Cup Champions*******
One asterisk for Harris drug suspension
One asterisk for Farjardo injury
One asterisk for Mafia influence
One asterisk for crossbar
One asterisk for Streveler's drinking habits
One asterisk for Mike O'Shea's sideline fashion (shorts)
One asterisk for other teams in playoffs, not bringing their A game

 

Their whole existence should have an asterisk 

Was that guy Migs? 

Some Rider clown on twitter suggested this grey cup win should come with an asterisk because of Harris... and he was serious 🤣😂😅

Not sure how to feel about Lapo. I don't love the passive plays when leading, but how much of that was execution? I feel that Nichols propensity to check the ball down and play it safe definitely hampered drives. I don't think there is any question that once Collaros came in we were a better offense. Collaros's ability to extend plays and throw the deep ball opened up Harris and the run game so well. 
For me if it came down to it (obviously it wont) , I'd much rather have Lapo going forward then Nichols. Give Lapo a guy like Masoli or Bo Levi AND the best RB in the league and the offense would be unstoppable! 
 

Only error in the game by Wpg was getting sucked in on the fake punt.
 

Hey, Lapo is Lapo.  We should have a pretty good idea, what we get with him by now.
Good game planing - features a wide variety of sets/plays, usually executed in first halfs
Smaller playbook in 2nd half, or when we have the lead, later in games


 

I’ve been on the buck pierce train for quite awhile.  But there are many good cfl offensive coaches in the league that need to be looked at as well. As I said today I like Maas as an OC but I would be careful and would pass it by the teams leadership on offence before I even interviewed him. If the players would revolt then the decision is an easy “no”. 
Buck is my first interview and then go from there. 

I think Walters wants to continue to be viewed as a guy you can do deals with in the league.  Part of what brought Collaros here was Pinball thinking that Walters wasn't going to try and screw him over with shenanigans.
 
If the 1st round pick isn't tied to signing in free agency as well I think as long as Collaros is taking offers/negotiating with teams and then just decides to come back to Winnipeg it'd be fine... a day after he goes into free agency he signs a pre-written contract without taking offers from anyone else.... that would stink and would actively hurt Walters ability to negotiate with other GM's.
 
Short vs. Long term thinking essentially - ******* over Pinball might be a great way to get Collaros... but over the course of a couple years might make the team significantly worse than it would otherwise be.  Part of what brought Collaros here for us to get the cup was the reputation Walters has built as a GM to be trusted.

Also, why do you want to leave?
You will be at high odds to repeat next year.
He also talks about how much his family loves being here.
Guy is a Winnipegger now.

Totally agree- but from all accounts and interactions I have heard/seen between MOS and others... it sure looks a lot like he will be signed to a long term deal. 
 
Also, a huge part of that (IMO) is the fact Winnipeg is a Football town. We care about our Bombers and are crazy passionate about them- I feel that is an important reason MOS re-signs with us. I can't imagine him coaching in Toronto... 

Well Osh said he expects to finalize his new deal soon...and wants the notion he doesn't wanna be here put to bed...so that tells me he is back and it's just a matter of time until it announced

IMHO, we need to sign MOS.   Far and away most important, more so than any one player, as much as I love them.    Long term stability at the top is what builds dynasties.   I want the Bombers to be a dynasty, not just a flash.     I'm a long term season ticket holder (since 1970), and I've seen the high's and lows over decades .   What I've seen for the last number of years is a competitive team that players want to come to.  Credit to Wade Miller, Kyle Walters and MOS for that.  When you build the right culture, the victories will come.

You can justify a lot of questionable behaviour. 
I'd rather just pay up and not create enemies. You would be foolish to think all other teams would not think twice about similar deals in the future. 
We already maxed out our investment, we don't win a Cup without him.

Harris proved he was the best back in the CFL last Sunday. **** the all star team. 

Yeah he has lived here since he played

I cant stop watching that Thiadric Hansen hit lol. I smile every time I watch it. That play pretty much summed up the whole game.

imagine going all in on Cody Fajardo

CoFaj can stay exactly where he is. I have no time for crazy bible thumpers....
