We want 2026 with a fresh coaching staff and many new players.

We tried Freddie's for the first time this afternoon. I would say it taste extremely similar to Dairy Queen. Better then McDonalds and Burger King... but lower then A & W and Wendys. My wife ordered the Truffle Crunch Steakburger with Onion Rings. They used canned mushrooms (despite the photos looking like they were using real ones) and the onion rings were straight out of what you get at a canteen at a hockey ring. Cheap frozen ones. I ordered some sort of bacon cheeseburger, they use processed cheese and the bacon was paper thin like at McDonalds. The meat was good and I don't believe it was frozen, that was the one thing they did really well. We didn't try the custard so I can't comment on that. Overall I wouldn't go back since Fat Burger which is a few minutes away blows it away and is similarily priced.

Glue guys are supposed to be at least a C+ to B level of player. Rasheed Bailey was a glue guy who could elevate and make big plays and would consistently be a reliable player. You need guys like that to fill out the roster. Jake Thomas is a Damian Jackson guy who is nice but at most is a D+ level player who makes one play every month.

Nothing saying that they couldn't bring Jake Thomas as a coach / water boy / mascot for morale.... Jake isn't the reason why we are doing so poorly this season... but he's such an obvious guy that should have been upgraded and the fact that they have made minimal efforts is alarming. It doesn't give us the confidence that they'll replace guys in other positions where a tough decision is required.

I'd like to believe that for every Evander Kane, the NHL has 20 great guys who are great ambassadors for the league/sport. I've only had minimal interactions with some of the players on the current Jets roster and they have all been A+++. Great guys.

I wonder how Reggie White Jr would have turned out had they kept him instead. Also I wonder why they didn't sign any other free agent receivers during the off season?

I was talking about Mike Kelly.... bring back the wild cat and get rid of the highschool shotgun formation baloney!!

Dude his arm was cooked for the last 2 seasons he played for us. Instead of blaming LaPo rewatch his games... the guy could *only* make 5 - 10 yard passes. If only you knew what kind of things that many of our greatest Bombers used to do with women around town. Also kind of hypocritical when a guy like Lawler drives drunk and puts peoples lives at danger yet you gave him a 2nd chance and yet Kelly being a sex pest is somehow worse? I'd take Kelly next year over rolling out Zach and his 2 back breaking ints per game.

It's called being a realist. If I were to have to put money down on who wins the Grey Cup... I most certainly would lean towards putting that money on the Riders over the Bombers this season. It's not being a "bad fan" , it's called being a realist. Everyone on here "hopes" the Blue can pull off a miracle and win it this season. It's just that based on what they have shown it's highly unlikely. So people are saying what the 2nd best option would be. For myself I say Hamilton because I'd rather that fan base gets to enjoy a Grey Cup win over listening to Rider fans celebrate and be ultra annoying about winning the cup.

I don't think the o-line is fully to blame... on those deep balls he has time. It's the arm and decision making that is really hurting his play. If he's going to make random decisions and just toss "bombs" in hopes of the receiver making a play... I'd much rather we had kept Dolegala because at least he is healthy and has a strong enough arm so that the receiver "can" make a play for the ball. Their is a reason why noodle arm Nichols was doing short passes at the end... he knew his limitations and tried the best with what he could do. Zach is just ... yikes. His arm is not as shot as Nichols was... but it's definitely not strong enough for him to make those bombs. It would have been real nice to have given Wilson some game time this season to see if he has what it takes to play. Next season... try to make a play for Kelly or bring in a guy like MBT as a stop gap until we find a long term solution. Zach at 600+ next season is going to really hurt this team.

I'm ok with Hamilton going on a streak and winning it all. It would be nice for the community to finally get a win after all these years.

I added the arrow to show where the ball dropped... that ball was at least 8 - 10 yards under thrown.

I know I shouldn't but I'm already looking ahead for next season (with the assumption that this season is a write off). I'm going to assume next season Hogan is gone and we either bring in someone from the outside or Jarious is promoted. I'm done with Zach being our QB, we are stuck with a huge contract next season and I can't believe he will improve after 2 terrible seasons in a row. Strev also isn't the answer. With all that being said... if possible would you straight up trade Zach for Chad Kelly? Coming off an injury, the off field issues, and Toronto appears to have moved on from him. Outside of MBT , Tre Ford, and several fringe back ups... I don't see anyone that we could grab and start immediately. He's on his last year of his contract and a much higher upside then starting Zach for another season. Outside of complaining about him being a sex pest, I would think that's the best player we could get.

Do you think for next season we bring back LaPo for round 3 (or is it 4 now?)

It's better then taking a knee 😬

All I know is that you don't have to pay a QB a huge contract to throw a ball into quadruple coverage and/or underthrow deep shots by 5 yards.....

I'm guessing this team doesn't do fumble drills?

I'm seeing the Wilson catch going viral on social media. So at least one positive thing from tonight

The Riders squeaking by Toronto is a bad look.

Boomers? The drive thru is always busy so I'm assuming they still sell lots of coffee?

Has Jake Thomas been cut yet? Has he at least been demoted to 3rd string back up? Until then all whining is permitted.

But they can't put cinnamon raisin , french toast, four cheese , blueberry , jalapeno, pretzel, etc... on top of a bagel. I'm going to assume you are much younger, but back in the early 90's you could go to Tim Horton and pick from a wide selection of freshly made (i.e. not flash frozen) donuts and pastries. Earlier in the year when I was in the States and we quickly stopped at a Dunkin donuts and they had like 30 different kinds of donuts. It was like a rainbow with so much variety.

I don't understand how they still stay in business these days? The location near my house has depleted the donut/muffin/bagel selection down to the absolute bare minimum. Apparently double chocolate donuts are to niche these days for them to stock? The last time I went they said they stopped serving wedges and other food items after 5 pm. Now no soups and chili? What is on the menu these days outside of plain donuts, plain bagel, a few sandwiches and flat bread pizza which completely doesn't make sense? What a massive fall of grace from only 20 years ago.

The old Jake Thomas running straight and being pushed to the ground technique works wonders!

As a CFL fan I'd have zero interest in watching the Grey Cup champion vs some American UFL team. Nobody would care. The CFL could do American expansion like back in the day. The only benefit would be once the American teams fold , the stores would have rock bottom low prices on Winter jackets. I fondly remember seeing lots of cheap people wearing Gold Miners jackets around town.
