Sorry to hear that 2025 was a slog for you Johnzo. Hope 2026 is much better in every way, you deserve it! 👍

Not for me, I don't really pay attention to the Jets until playoff time.  The NHL regular season is too long to really get invested in.

2025 was a slog for me you guys, and not just as a Bomber fan. 
But I'm looking forward to 2026.  May the new orbit bring you all good fortune.

This maybe should be in the Grim Reaper thread but since it's CFL related, I thought I'd post it here. Former CFL player Barry Wilburn died yesterday in Memphis in a house fire. Wilburn was 62 years of age. Wilburn played for 3 CFL teams during his time in canada. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, BC Lions & Winnipeg Blue Bombers (in 1999). He also played for Washington & the Philadelphia Eagles. What a horrible way to go. Condolences to his family, friends & former teammtes.

Crum to Maier is a high-cost downgrade.
cold!

For backup qb MBT. For receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr.

ICE isn't really seeking out specific people, at least not in their showy ops -- they're swarming people who, according to their small, smooth brains, do not look like Americans. This is why they are hated so much and why people in Minneapolis are following them around with whistles.
(Please forgive if this is too much politics for MBB)

If ICE wants to muscle in on a million person parade in a city that ******* loathes them, they're welcome to bring it.

that would be a big surprise to see. Dude lets players play through their struggles and doesn't even like to take out Collaros when the Bombers are on the good side of a blowout.
Not pulling struggling Zach doesn't bother me so much -- Zach's upside is far far far greater than that of a Terry Wilson or even a Streveler. Multiple times over his career he's gone from zero in one quarter to hero in another. If it was someone like Taylor Powell or MBT or Brown on the bench behind Zach, someone who's proven he belongs in the CFL, I might feel different.
So unless MOS abruptly changes his ways, only a ZC8 injury will result in significant backup reps.
Zach has been actually been pretty durable the past few years -- started all 18 games in 2022-2024 and started 13 last year, and one of his missed games was the BS piss test one.

100% disagree. It's one thing if you have someone like prime Streveler who can be really effective in giving you that kind of look that can put a D off-balance. But for the most part you're not getting that level of production from backup QB's. They have so much information and pictures available now instantly that this tropey **** about "seeing some snaps from the sideline" and putting the backup in just to provide that has no purpose. If you have a weapon like prime Streveler (he was not that guy in his return from the NFL in 24-25), yeah use him. But that's pretty rare.
I don't think you'll see someone play consistently bad and not get pulled if there's a belief on the team that the next guy up would perform better overall.

Some more Sheed highlights because that guy was one of my favorites.
very first TD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Lw9Ne1e2DM. <--- Yoshi and him rolling around the endzone like Anakin and Padme. Totally forgot that Tyler Crapigna was ever a bomber.
falling bomb TD strike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37gks3BTxf0 <--- check out the dope adjustment to the ball, which is slightly off target.
the famous superman pylon dive TD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v49p6Z26jSE <--- freaking love the blocking on this play. BOLO tenaciously erases his man!

Definitely gotta put some love on Alexander's name, not only was he the final piece of our 2019 Grey Cup D, but he also shoved aside that twitter dummy we were starting at safety earlier that year.
basically the ultimate WR3. You got distracted by Lawler or Adams or Schoen and Bailey would make you pay.

Man I wish that Mo Leggett had still been with the team for the Grey Cup wins. Definitely one of my favorites from the Matty Ice era. stupid achilles injuries.

And what a discussion... those teams were absolutely loaded with great dudes....
I mean pretty much that whole defensive line... Alexander in the secondary.... all of your mentions. Just an embarrassment of riches

aha, figured it out -- use "Paste" when using Macintosh Chrome instead of "Paste and Match Style" which is what you get when you use command-V
