It’s stubbornness, or misguided loyalty. The scouting dept has brought in guys that can play. Tre Thomas made play after play in the preseason games, nothing. They stick with Wilson who hasn’t been the same since his injury in 2021.

That was 18 wasn’t it? 19 was a 5-0 start. IIRC they’ve lost 3 openers under O’Shea including this year, a home loss to Montreal in one of Willys last starts, a 3 point loss to Edmonton in a rainstorm (Strev’s first start)

That’s a thoughtful take. I’m willing to be patient. I was shitting on Mitchell. That was premature and immature.

No of course not, more like in the “fall will be our season” phase. I’d rather win the cup at 10-8 than lose it at 15-3.

I still believe they have the talent to compete for the west, I just think it might take the whole summer for them to get it all together.

Well gents, after reflection and watching highlights of the other games…we could be f*cked. At least for the first part of the season.

Right. Bryant was highly rated but it was questioned weather he was a product of the Stamps system at the time. I recall Ben Heenan being the big get pre-FA that year.

It was Collaros, Burris, Willy but I mean, we all know Willy wasn’t anyones first choice out of those 3, including the Bombers. Regardless of merit, Moore was the unquestioned #1 free agent WR that year and the Bombers signed him. That scenario was unheard of previously.

Right, for sure Bryant was more impactful. My point was more like, Nick Moore was the first consensus #1 FA at his position whom they actually got to come to Winnipeg in probably 20 years. Even Drew Willy that year wasn’t “their guy” until the better QBs had signed.

Good

I think Feltmate’s just being brought in because he’s available, solid and our ST sucks.

Think he meant did Gemmel not want to sit on the PR?

How about irony vs coincidence? That one drives me nuts Karma as a belief system applies to reincarnation. So if Subblefield had twisted Strev’s ankle, died, was reborn a little boy, grew up, became a pro football player and had his ankle broken by a dirty play, that would be karma. That being said, I did post “instant karma beyotch” after the acl injury, it’s become just a figure of speech I suppose.

Big time. Htf a heritage jersey have all that crap on it? Goofy stuff all over the shoulders and numbers the same colour as the jersey.

Yeah he’s a good player, but that was a prick move. Don’t really feel all that sorry for him.

What the hell jersey is Edmonton wearing? Yikes

Agree 100%

When was his last really good game? Last years Banjo Bowl? Do I think he’s going to play like that every week? No. Are his bad habits as a passer becoming more prevalent? Absolutely. The pattern of regression is there going back to last year. Poor on the road mostly, average at best in the playoffs. Staring down receivers. Throwing dumb picks. Fumbling. Not progressing through his reads. Playing huck it chuck it football and having to get bailed out by receivers all the time.

For real lol

I’m better now, back in the day I couldn’t even play a game of Madden for days after the Bombers lost.

How though? It’s simple, you should be allowed to bet on your own team to win. Straight up only, no spreads, no props, just to win the game. Anything else, you’re done, banned for life.

I still can’t believe they put Suitor in the hall of fame.

Hot, and probably unpopular take: betting on your own team to straight up win isn’t morally wrong.

At this point I don’t think it matters actually. Zach looks at his first read which will always Schoen/Demski (or Lawler before the injury), if they’re not open he just pumps and pumps until one of the 3 breaks their route off back towards the ball, or he has to eat it. I was excited when they brought in Pokey Wilson, super athletic guy from a big school. Then I realized he’s going to get bargain basement looks and concepts. Best he can probably hope for is a short crosser or maybe a jet sweep if he’s lucky.
