Artopoeus? I’d still like to see them bring in an experienced 4th (5th if Elgersma makes his way here) QB for competition. UFL MVP or not, I don’t like the idea of half a year before the season starts, handing the backup job to a QB who’s never played a down of CFL football.

They want the extra draft pick so they can squander it on another jobber.

Oh don’t get me wrong, a kick in the ass is still better than a kick in the junk. I just think we can do better than Condell.

Yeah, do we really want the guy who put together the Ottawa offence, and has consistently been in charge of groups that can’t run the ball for ****?

I was pretty young but iirc it was more of a Dru Brown situation where Danny Mac wanted to start and left in FA.

Dolegala not getting a chance in that game perplexed me the most. Absolutely would have been better than handless Zach. Sure, he’s not the greatest but he’s capable of winning games. Hell, he had a win against us the year before in the LDC did he not?

Besides Shoen and to a lesser extent Pokey, the track record of scouting American receivers by this regime is by far the worst in the league. It really needs to improve this year.

Kenny would help no doubt, but they really need to bring in someone who can light it up through scouting. Gotta have at least a couple of high level players on rookie contracts.

Damn, the Riders winning it in our stadium is a low point of my Bomber fandom. Especially after the way the last 3 went, and how the offseason was handled coming into this year. Got a big “it’s ok, we already got your money” vibe from the club this season.

Yeah, really the kick in the ass should have been after last year. The 24-25 offseason was the worst of this era. They’d better get busy quick now, can’t afford to fumble **** around until February again.

https://3downnation.com/2025/11/14/official-kyle-walters-to-return-as-winnipeg-blue-bombers-general-manager-in-2026/ Walters back too

Willie is one of my all time favourite Bombers, and even I can see that he needs to be more of a complimentary piece at this stage of his career. I’d like to see him stay on in that role but we need to have new guys as the primary DE’s.

Ok, that’s settled. Now go get Costanza for OC

Big no on Kent Austin from me, last success he had in the league was nearly 20 years ago. Hamilton was **** when he was there, plus he comes across as kind of a jackass. Never been a fan. I’m not completely against bringing in someone with HC experience If MOS leaves but I’d rather they bring in someone who’s had their finger on the pulse of the league sometime recently, and preferably not old enough to collect CPP.

That would be ideal (if he actually leaves) With our luck it would probably be Brady, Holm and Younger

50/50 if MOS stays or goes. Either way, I think Costanza in any capacity (preferably OC) would be a great hire. He’s had nothing but success wherever he’s been. Jackson HC, Costanza OC could be interesting. I would assume MOS would take Younger with him if he goes to TO.

I thought maybe if they could back into a home playoff game they might be able to ride some momentum. When they lost to Edmonton I resigned myself to the fact that they just weren’t good enough this year.

Anyone else kind of bummed out today? First west final without the Bombers since 2017. Feels weird.

I’d add Randolph too

That’s just it. When the team was at its best, they had 2 very good co-ordinators and no less than 3 all star/HOF level players on each side of the ball, all around their prime. (Biggie, WJ, BA, Jeffcoat on D. Andrew, Yoshi, Bryant, Lawler on O) The team was primarily built through FA, with a lot of Ringmaiden-era holdovers making up the bulk of rest of the roster. MOS has a lot of faults right now but really, unless the personnel department hits a bunch of home runs, it’s going to be a couple rough years no matter who’s coaching. This is key as well, they screwed around soo much last offseason.

Yeah I underestimated their tenacity. That first half looked sooo bad. I’m happy to be wrong here if they pull it out

There’s no Tyrone Jones (or anyone) to make a play to get us back in games with this team though. Honest question, have they come back from a deficit at all this year?

I’ll always love MOS and Walters for what they’ve done in the past but yeah the run is over and done. Sadly, it is time to clean house.

If Parker doesn’t want to play football, sit him down. Embarrassing.

How the **** was that not PI and the call on Lawson Jr was?
