Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
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.

Grey Cup GDT - Riders vs Als
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.

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
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.

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
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

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
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

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
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.

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
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.

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
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.

Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
Yeah I underestimated their tenacity. That first half looked sooo bad. I’m happy to be wrong here if they pull it out
-
Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
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?
-
Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
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.

Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
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?

Als at Bombers GDT thread
Too bad we didn’t have 2-3 other DL to use who can get pressure on the quarterback..

Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
Cheap flag, he was playing the ball

Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
We’re ******

Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
Corcoran is useless. A poor man’s Adam Eckert isn’t going to do anything for the offence. They could have dressed Echols. May as well just have Tui out there and run double tight every play.
-
Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
Fair point.
-
Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
Demski out. The only ones surprised are DT and Doug. I’m not sure why they expected him to play.
-
Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
Agreed. Whenever they’ve thrown out the “take what the defence gives us” line this year it’s been after they looked like crap. If all the defence is giving you is 2 yard outs to Sterns, you’ve got to just put the ball in the hands of your best player.
