I’d personally be fine sticking with Leggz. Sean Whyte is the only upcoming FA that I could see maybe being here for a year in a mentorship role.

Suppose O’Shea coaches til 60, that’s still another 8 (!) years.

It was the BLURST of times?!

Agree 100%. A dominant interior DL is nearly un-schemeable

Sadly, this is what happens when we give equal weight and patience to the opinions of those who quite honestly don’t know **** from cinnamon.

I was there for the LDC in 2005. It was a dump then. I’d hate to see what it looks like in person now.

To be honest guys, this year stings but it doesn’t even come close to 2001 or 07. 2019 was very special, in that I got to see a cup win with my Dad. My Grandfather was one of the biggest Bomber fans. He and my Dad had a tough relationship at times but they always bonded over the Bombers. Granddad passed away in 1983, I could always tell it broke my Dads heart that they didn’t see 1984 together. I saw so many parallels during the drought, can’t describe how badly I wanted to see that 2019 victory with the old man. Not to mention seeing a guy I’ve known since nursery school (AH) helping end Winnipeg’s drought..So many special aspects of that win. 2021 was both the hardest and best year of my life. We had twins in September of that year, and unfortunately we lost one of my baby girls to heart disease at 3 weeks. After all the grief, and sleepless nights of raising a newborn, our family experiencing another cup win at that particular time..So grateful for that distraction. Seeing my Dad holding his granddaughter while watching the final OT play was another all time life moment. I try to keep all this in mind after this past one. Saying “I have perspective” is inaccurate. I’m still busted up over the team losing, but unlike 01 and 07 I’m not dwelling on it all winter. Again, thank you guys, especially @Zach Schnitzer and @Noeller Just remember when you’re down, you’re NEVER the only one. I’m sure you all have support in your real lives, but my PMs are always open if anyone here is suffering.

Thanks for sharing guys. I struggle with my mental wellness too. It’s been a really tough couple of years, and reading and participating in the talk around here helps a lot.

Who cares?

Thinking about PR guys. I think McCrae would have made a difference in the last 2 games. I see him as being a future all-star type. An American Demski if you will. I hope they’re able to bring him back, and do a little more to fit him on the active roster next year.

There’s only one player who could have single handedly won that game for the Bombers, and we all know who it is. If you’re still under a rock, I’ll give a hint. Rhymes with Stan Stark.

Agreed. I don’t think we acknowledge yet just how special of a year Schoen had.

The difference between 2001 and now is the club actually has the money to keep it going.

He’s had a few rough years injury wise. Top DE in the league when healthy but I’d be fine with the club moving on at this point. Can’t rely on his availability.

Hardrick, Thomas and Jeffcoat for me, as much as I’ve loved watching all 3.

Is he a pending FA? They’d better start filling sacks of cash for him right now if so.

Doesn’t hurt as much as 2001 but man it’s close. That ******* Prukop play..

IMO- 3 biggest reasons they lost, in no particular order. 1. The Prukop play was inexcusable, just a horrible call in that situation. 2. The o-line in pass pro was terrible. 3. The missed convert. To add, too many linemen on both sides past their best before dates, and not scouting harder at DT was a huge mistake. Roster management for this game and the WF was putrid.

I’m not sure anything in this era of Bomber football has infuriated me as much as that Proukop play call.

Really wished they’d dressed another d lineman.

I thought Liz Frank beat the Lions

Bladek used to play for the Riders, and this game is in their stadium. He’d like to win it. This game’s as good as over.

Hey, did you guys know the Bombers have never beaten the Argos, ever? Toronto won 100-0 earlier this year too, and 600-0 in 2021. I can’t believe the Bombers even got on the plane to Regina.

So the Argos have 2 home wins against the Bombers over a 3 year span. Any time they’ve played here, Bombers have porked. How exactly do they “have the Bombers number” outside of BMO?

I do sort of the same thing too. Before playoff, cup and LDC/BB I watch any and all game recaps (or full games) available against that specific team. Started with skimming through Bombers @ Argos from 1977. Tonight I’ll look at the 1989 east semi.
