If Buck leaves (which I doubt this year) I’m pretty sure his replacement would be Kevin Bourgoin or Jason Hogan. It’s kind of the way they do things anyway, but I don’t think they could get a name OC in under the cap.

Caught me slipping. Bad thumbs, reason I have to edit almost every post lol

Have Toronto or BC ever actually had a salary cap?

While I’d love to see him get a shot, most NFL teams are content to bag out 22 year old running backs on the cheap and move on. All the power to him if he can though.

2019 Bombers and 2023 Als, there’s no comparison. Bombers had Harris on a mission and Strev/Collaros, had the leagues best OL. The MODP. Bunch of wins over good teams already that year. Playoff wins in Calgary and Regina. Most importantly, Jason Maas and Cody Fajardo were nowhere near that team. The Als won a home ESF against a crappy Hamilton team and had Chode Smelly show up in the final. There’s nothing the same about the 23 Als and 19 Bombers other than both teams made the Grey Cup game.

Part of it’s that. Just winning and being good for so long will do it. We have had a few guys who would be “love to hate” types on the field, if they were on another team. Harris, Willie, Hardrick, Woli to name a few.

He’s Second Ben Sankey now. My mind went back 15 years somehow lol. But yes, that play was what I was referencing. I’d love to see Demski get a matchup or 2 on that guy.

Not to go to another team though, I think that’s the main thing. Walters (or anyone) leaving for a non-CFL job/family reasons is believable. Walters going to Hamilton, not so much.

The opposition has to be considered too. Betts had 1 good game against a quality opponent (in the summer). Any other big game he was invisible. Jeffcoat (who should have been MODP this year) and the rest of the Bomber D have their best games in the most meaningful games.

After listening to @DTonOB for a while now, I’d agree that he just doesn’t respect the running game/RB position. I love the guy, but it’s very clear he wants the game to be arcade passball all the time. The media obsession in general over Betts is super irritating too but I get it. Big market, Canadian with a French name. The CFL media forces character storylines. That being said, voting for him as MOC over Brady is inexcusable for someone who gets paid to analyze the games.

The Alouettes are the 1997 Saskatchewan Roughriders, 2011 Bombers, 2013 Ticats, etc.. **** AGS. The given Sunday (Saturday) was last week. The Lemonator and Fat Ben Sankey can suck an egg. I’m so tired of hearing about those guys.

Not surprised a lot of media doing mental gymnastics to pick against the Bombers. We are the bad guys after all.

After the fact, and given the Bombers won anyway, it was actually a really cool play

Agreed. Fajardo is just Prukop with a shitty personality

How are any of the other jobber CFL refs better than Proulx? This is a travesty Roughing da passer, 15 yard benalty! I hate him

Big key (and the only thing that really worries me about this game) Buck better have his head on straight. I don’t want to see Prukop lined up without his hand under the center’s ass.

Good. I always thought the “question” was really strange. “Hey, do your players pound their old lady the night before the game?”

He was on roller skates. Also kind of looks like a weeble, real top heavy guy.

Oh for Christ sakes, every grey cup somebody’s leaving. Ted Goveia would have been promoted to CEO for life by now if any of these rumours came true. If Walters goes, I’ll eat my own hat if he’s still in the CFL.

Rewatched the game last night. I had my 2 year old with me on Saturday and missed a lot of plays. 1. Jeffcoat/Willie Just controlled demolition. Watch BC’s tackle #69, they made him look silly. I was actually laughing out loud multiple times. 2. The 17 Linebackers.- I’ve been ripping on that all year. Every one of them played masterfully. Even Gauthier’s RTP was kind of cathartic. Adams deserved it, he’s a cheap shot artist. 3. Brady. 70 yard drive to kill their morale right out of the gate. Happy Honker to Houston for a very timely pick, for all intents and purposes it put the game to bed.

He’s won me over this year with playmaking abilities. Not sure I’ve ever seen a player look so improved from their first couple starts. That game he started at HB and returner last year was atrocious. If he was a bit more of a hitter, he could be an all timer at FS.

They also had a graphic saying “Winnipeg hasn’t lost a west final at home since 1994 vs Baltimore” Wrong, they haven’t lost a west final at home since 1972. It’s a technicality but someone gets paid to know this stuff. The Vaj was also wrapped around Holm’s knees like a little kid trying to tackle his dad. You of all people must have had a laugh. Holm as Vernon’s Daddy.

As long as it isn’t a dumb looking red vs blue game like the EF. I’d like to see them win one in the blue jerseys too though.

They lost 3 that year iirc but 2 were piss around games at the end of the season. I think Sean McGuire was starting.

Winning the west 4 years in a row absolutely qualifies for dynasty talk.
