In order to find one or two decent receivers per year it seems they need to bring in at least 10 with amazing highlight reels. All are talented, but most just don't make it.
Bombers have already signed 8 new receivers;
Malcolm Lewis
Tyre Mccants
Isaiah Harper
Travin Dural
Ardarius StewartDevin Lucien
Kayaune Ross
Travis Rudolph
- Fred C Dobbs and Fatty Liver

Anyone know when they start shipping out of town orders? Looks like I'm not getting my gear for Christmas as my order still shows unfulfilled.
I was at the store on Dec 6 for the locker room sale and there was a courier picking up 2 carts full of what must have been about 20 packages each.
The bump in sales might be able to off-set the cost of the Grey Cup rings that the team has to pay for.

Riders and Stamps going to be set up schedule-wise for success to start the year.
6 of first 8 games against the East for them.
I could see the Riders getting off to an ok start as 6 of their 1st 9 games are at home.
The Stamps however have to deal with 4 away games in a row from week 3 to 6.

I'm certain he's owed money before FA. Hasn't this been discussed?
It's possible, I haven't seen any discussion on this myself. But, it may have something to do with the confusion on whether Matt was previously extended for 2020. Maybe some arrangements were made for a restructured contract that deferred some of his 2019 salary.
But, as a general rule, off-season bonuses are for the upcoming season.

Why would Ottawa trade for Nichols when he'll be a FA in a few months? And when is his bonus due?
He doesn't have a bonus due as he's a pending free agent. But, his bonus last year was on Jan 15th.

So do we sign Stanley Bryant next and then once free agency comes around we let all of the QBs bid for lowest salary to be able to play behind our offensive line?
They shud try to make a decision on the QB situation asap. Once they determine which QB(s) isn't in their plans the Bombers can look at trading their rights for a conditional draft pick.

At what..250k per to boot.
Apparently they hope he signs cause with him.Evans and Henry they be solid lol..Evan's.. another 200k+ flop
Lol. Yeah, I guess he owes Hughes a 1000 bucks for their much talked about bet over who would get the most sacks.

To me, in our offense this year, this was arguably one of the most important attributes of our receivers.
Hey CFL.ca, I know it's not as exciting as Burnham's circus catches, but start tracking blocks by players! (I realize this is practically an impossible task lol)
I also loved how the Bomber olinemen would run down field to push the pile around Harris. Saw a lot of that during the Grey Cup.

Walters got him for a STEAL from SSK because of his injury history... easily one of Walter's best "trade" moves in his tenure IMO.
I wouldn't call it a steal. The Riders got Alex Hall and a 2nd rounder for Neufeld (Bombers also received a 5th rounder).
Hall helped contribute to the Riders' 2013 Cup so I'm sure they were happy with the trade as well.

Did not happen on a consistent basis, it was just one of their options (punkt).
Really? What did the line-up look like when they didn't have 6 Nationals on offensive?

So you don't think the offence would be more dynamic with another deep threat like Whitehead, even as a DI?
Peterman is loved around here but, we wouldn't really miss his 120-150 yards a season.
Woli got 360 yards receiving. I doubt that kind of output would be hard for an import to replace or improve upon. Woli's passport is as important as his output.
Demski's hot and cold, but he really came into his own in the last quarter of the season and the playoffs.
Grant was available to the offense as a DI. If I recall correctly, the team went to him on their first offensive play in the Grey Cup game.
We just didn't see much use of the DI on offense due to the Bombers' heavy focus on the run. Why use a DI when the primary receivers don't get targeted much themselves.

They can as long as there are still 7 other NI's on the field. In other words, they aren't counted as NI's for ratio purposes.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Global players are basically an extra DI and needs to replace an American unless the team started more than 7 Canadians.

That is a very happy fan.
He shouldn't be lifting the cup over his head. But whatever.

He did it at the grey cup after party in Calgary too. There are some crazy stories from that but the best 2 are when Harris brought the cup down to the party and passed it around with the fans.
And then when we were leaving the grey cup, Streveler was outside with a couple girls and then looked at us and yelled "we ******* did it" hugged me and my buddy. After that yells holy **** that hurts, the freezing has worn off and I need a drink.
Where was the after party? The tent where Brett Kissel was playing?

Im still so shocked they won. Like its hard to really believe.. I dunno. Weird. So happy for all the guys on the team especially jake and neufeld who have to be the longest serving bombers, happy for all coaches management other staff and equipment guys.. Just a seriously amazing surreal moment.
In reality bombers are our only chance at winning at the Pro level, Jets just yeah.. Honestly that might be the only thing that could be bigger.. Jets winning the cup.
However, back to back CFL champs might be intriguing.
When the Jets were making their run a couple of seasons ago, Jets fans were making fun of the Bombers by saying the Jets were going to win a Cup first even with not having a team for 15 years.
Pro-Jets, anti-Bombers fans are almost as bad as Rider fans.
I guess Chipman no longer needs to buy the Bombers to make them a winner.

Thats the damned truth. At times selling out for hits bit us in the butt, but not nearly as much as it helped bury the cats. It was the most complete and physical performance weve had in years. They left every thing on the field and it showed in the result.
I am so looking forward to the TSN Wired Up show from the Grey Cup. Sportscentre showed some clips and they had Harris giving Lawrence the gears. A lot of times players like to talk smack and not back it up. But clearly the Bombers came to play.

Does anyone know if that is going to be permanent?
The street name is still going to be called Matheson Road. Instead of changing the actual street name like they did for Milt Stegall Drive the city started to do this honorary option.
The honorary street names are initially for 5 years but then can be renewed.

We are legit contenders for the first time since ‘01. 2007 & 2011 we would have needed a pile of things to go our way, in order to win. After seeing the game plan they had to beat the Stamps, I am feeling very hopeful.
At least more of the crowd will be cheering for the Bombers compared to 2007 and 2011. Hopefully that makes a bit of a difference.
