We've had great success in signing players who have played here either through being drafted or traded for. Its free agency with guys who have never played here that we struggle.

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
O'Shea has been head coach since 2014. Closest to that would be Dickenson who has been head coach since 2016. Calgary missed the playoffs last year before being 3rd in the West the prior 3 years, losing the semi final each year. Though their record the last three years was 12 - 6, 6 - 12, 5 -12-1. So one of those playoff years was just because everyone else in the West was bad. Calgary seems to have revitalized itself this year. Can O'Shea do that if we are entering a downward trend? Do we need to go through 2 years of mediocrity before that happens?

Ehlers was a top 10 draft pick. Anything is possible, but if he showed the same talent as Ehlers, size wouldn't have mattered.

2025 Week 4 Pick 'Ems
I let people change their picks for the following reasons: I lock voting at the start of the first game of the week to make administering / tracking easier. This way I know no one made a pick after a game started. Since voting does get locked at the start of the first game, if someone is late, I don't want to penalize them for all 4 games of the week. If you miss a full week of picks, very hard to remain competitive. I'd rather more people continue to play than not. Since I let people who forgot to get their picks in still vote after voting is locked, it only makes sense to let people change a pick with the same rules. If I didn't allow this, more people may wait until later in the week to make their picks, then forget, then miss completely, this again can lead to a decrease in participation. This option is open to everybody, so I don't see how it is unfair. Unrelated stat, but I find it interesting. Most years there are a lot of people who play the first couple of weeks, then trail off. This is for any number of reasons. People forget, fall behind, get busy with summer, who knows why. This is the first year we had 41 people in week 1, and while a. few people missed a week here or there, we still have 41 people playing this week. Good to see.

We can't pay him what he will likely get in free agency. Don't think this changes anythying.

I mean there was Zach getting 0 playing time in the 2nd preseason game last year. And it showed early that the offence was not ready. Then there was this quote from O’Shea himself. https://globalnews.ca/news/10551819/winnipeg-blue-bombers-offence-stalls-in-season-opening-loss-to-alouettes/amp/

Bring your team to a conference final and get fired.- 2025 Week 1 Pick 'Ems
All preseason games will have been played by tonight (Friday). Final cutdown day is Saturday (May 31), and a whole new season kicks off on Thursday. Been a long winter and glad football is back. Lets F'n go! Pick 'Ems are back this year. How do they work? Each week you pick the winners for all CFL games (including playoffs). You get one point for every correct pick. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year wins a $50 gift certificate at the Bomber store. Picks will be done through the polling system. Polls close at game start of the first game of the week. I will accept picks for games that have not started yet through PMs if you are late getting them in. Picks this week need to be in by 8PM Thursday, June 5th If you want an idea of what it takes to win it all, and who your competition might be, here is list of the top winners over the last decade. Quite a few recurring names in there.
