Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
One of the lowest points of my Bomber fandom was the game he played for us. I was literally the only person left in my section at the end of that game. Googled his Bomber stats: 8 of 25 for 91 yards and 3 picks.

I would have been ok giving either of our qbs with all of their fingers a chance to finish that game.

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
Any idea why that happened? Academically ineligible? The Rifles signed Dallas Sims this year. Another local kid that went to Old Dominion, then came home but I never heard why. I assumed grades. He never ended up playing for the Rifles either, just seems to be out of football now.

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
In 2021 second highest paid made approx 71% of Harris money, third highest was just over half. Ouellette made approx 68% of Oliveira’s salary. 3rd highest was approx 58%. So different, but not by much. *figures per 3Down

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
Collaros was third this year behind Rourke and Kelly. He was fourth in 2021. Starting qb & rb were 12% of cap in 2021 and 14% this year. Not that different. Strangely enough, or fb in 2021 was the third highest paid rb (Mike Miller).

Was Harris not the highest paid rb in the league when we won back to back Cups?

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
It’s hard to get too excited about anybody until closer to the date when we know who’ll be available. With all the one year deals, there are lots of good players that are potentially available.

That’s fair, BO really is our only legitimate star. I was thinking him and Demski, but Demski’s getting old and injury prone. I believe that as a general rule though.

We retool by not paying Logan, WJ, Bryant, Vaughters, etc. Pay our stars and replace the old guys through scouting.

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
Canadians are the highest paid players at almost every position in the league. That’s just how it goes. Almost all of them can be replaced effectively by a cheaper American, but then you’re stuck using weaker Canadians. Id rather pay guys like Demski and Oliveira and have to use cheaper Americans elsewhere. Guys like Logan ($114k) are the mistakes we need to avoid.

Mike Riley is in his 70s. I’ll go out on a limb and predict he won’t be our coach next year.

That’s bullshit. Play should have been over when he went backwards.- Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
I’d go for that if I was the Als.- Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
I wish they’d pan out a bit so we could see everything. Looks like the Als have a tonnne of guys staying in to block. We brought six on that last td and I think they still had more.- Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT

I’m pretty confident we’ll play two Canadian recs. I’ve seen nothing from this season to make me think we’ll get away from that. I’d like to see Bailey take some reps from Lawson & Thomas. Move Vaughters inside occasionally and play three des.- Riders at Bombers early chat
I’ve also coached for a long time and agree with this take. The competitive players want to win. They’d prefer the other starters not be lazy assholes, but in the end they mostly just want the best team on the field.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Dakota gets pretty much every good player from the Southeast part of the city. The Mustangs recruit players as kids, who then go to Dakota.- Riders at REDBLACKS GDT
Crum seems to be able to make things happen with this supporting cast.- Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Mauldin was the next great thing in 2022, but couldn’t sustain it. Now he’s just a guy. I would’ve been fine taking a chance on him, but not ready to fire the gm over passing on him.- TiCats at Bombers early chat
Person has been invisible for two months now. I think we would have been ok with someone else. - Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
