What's taking so long?

Merry Christmas everyone the day is here!

Put me in the minority but I think these timeless classics should make a return to our league....

I like the Macho signing. He has been getting better and better each year in the league! Lets see if he can get 4 picks in a game this year

Right my bad!! Is it actually retired or just "off limits"

Not sure! He might have to flip Washing a few hundred bucks if he wants his #7. Or he can wait until they release/trade Moore and take his #17. Or go with 16. Other numbers currently available are 11, 12, 13 and 18.

Not entirely true. A quick release out to a slot back or WR who you can trust and good scheme calling can vastly improve a poor oline. I'm not saying we have an all star cast of Oliners and we will win much with who we currently have but if they can improve over last year and we can get another decent oline guy in there (preferably Canadian) then I think Lapos play calling and the addition of Dressler should make for a much improved team.

Back from a week in the hot sun to find out about Dressler! Solid signing for the Bombers. What is the latest on Andrew Harris? Anyword?

I agree with the poster saying it would be a sell out if we hosted a playoff game. If not a sellout it would be damn close. I remember the 2011 season starting with very little expectations of a winning season. By the time they were 7-1 there was so much hype around the team. Every radio station was talking about them and everywhere you went people were talking about the team. I even had several co-workers who have no interest in the CFL coming on board. By the time the playoffs rolled around the team had lost several games and there was still lots of hype and a sell out crowd. I had co-workers asking me where they could get playoff tickets. The other factor in a sell out would be their opponent. If they play the Riders it's a guaranteed sell out. Edm/Cal would likely also be a sell out but I feel if they played BC it might not be.

Wahoo. 2 down.....78 more to go

Yes it's a bit early but I won't be on for the next few days. Merry Christmas to all you Blue Faithful! May your Christmas be full of Blue and Gold and your stockings stuffed with Grey Cups. Cheers!

I haven't really been following the The situation alone is evidence. He didn't just decide to quit and coincidentally get scooped up by Edmonton as finders keepers. I haven't really been following the story on Thorpe and I am not 100% sure on the "Tampering Rules". But if Thorpe talks to Edmonton about a job then quits and joins them is that still tampering? Or is it only tampering if Edmonton goes to Thorpe without asking permission.

I can't this douchebag .. I've never seen anything positive come from him. It's one thing to be critical when it's deserved .. but finding negativity in EVERY little thing the organization does it just too much. It's like someone in the organization kicked his dog, slept with his wife .. pissed in his cornflakes all in the same day. I was going to say the same thing. Even the tiniest bit of positive news that comes from the Bombers he finds a way to make it seem like a terrible thing. You don't need to be like Rod Pedersen and pump the tires of the team for everything but simply tweet the signing and shut up. The way Bauming did it was fine. He is making light of the fact he may have been suspended soon for PEDs but doesn't take the personal attack route. And yeah I get it. It gets ppl riled up and reading his papers but for me the only time I ever see anything from him is when it's copy and pasted here. Guy is simply a terrible reporter.

Throw me on the "Not quite sure what to think of this hire yet" bus. I liked Lapo the last time he was here and felt he was never given the players he wanted and was a failure due to Mack. Mack give him all the players he wanted and said coach them. I know a good coach should be able to coach any player which leads me to believe Lapo isn't HC material. He is however a great OC. He has proven in the past he can have success at that position. The position which he is hired for. Sounds like he spent a lot of time in the last 3 years keeping up on the CFL and expanding his playbook and learning. If Walters and O'shea give him the players he wants I think he can once again be a very successful OC. Here is to hoping

They are by far the most profitable CFL team. However with what they are paying Jones and now Murphy plus Chamblins tab and a shiny new stadium opening soon they might need to start watching the bank account. They should be fine though....

If this is a reason to sue I think all of us Season Ticket Holders should sue them a million dollars a year for each year they don't win a cup starting in 1991. Because We sign contracts for tickets and have nothing to show for it

Booo! I like Buck Pierce but I dont think he's ready to be an OC. He need to learn more from a good OC... not from MarcelB only. I agree! But if you noticed the second half of the Edmonton game the calls were way different and more aggressive. And the Toronto game had a lot better play calling and Denmark actually had the ball thrown to him more then once in the game. I'm fairly certain Buck was calling the plays and I do think he needs more time to learn but he was definitely better then MB. Although I have 6 years old McDonalds French fries under my car seat that might be better than MB....

I had heard from a little birdy that Buck Pierce was calling the last half of each of the last few games and possibly had called all of the last game against Toronto. Just speculation but he could be our next OC...... This is coming from someone who works with the Bombers so take it as you will.

Fixed

Typical Bandwagon jumper and just trying to get attention. I also like the pic of the mouldy hot dog. When it happened he sent it out on Twitter and FB and blamed the Bombers and the Bomber organization for it when in fact the blame can only be put on the food supplier which I do believe is Aramark (Someone can correct me if I am wrong). They were trying to use up product from the FIFA event and really shouldn't have. It had no bearing on the Bombers at all. Like Wade Miller is purposely selling old dogs to save a few pennies.

That is correct......When is the last 5-13 team to make the playoffs lol. *Sidenote: Mtl plays Sask last game of the season. I can see Mtl winning that one so we need to get one win in there!

No one had much interest in Messam when he was available. No one had interest and we all laughed at Sask for signing a washed up walking injury NFL reject....and now look at him.......I don't mind giving some guys a second or third chance. Sometimes they just click with different guys around them and schemes sometimes they just don't have it. Can't hate on the Bombers for trying and nice to see they gave him a short leash and didn't try forcing more on him and saw that he wasn't the answer right away then keeping him until next season and trying to start him and not searching for another RB.

Are the Bombers wearing them this year? I hope not but I thought they had to wear them a couple times last year and this year as part of the contract with reebok. I've seen Ottawa, Montreal, Riders wear theirs but I don't think any other teams have. Just curious.

That's an interesting condition because I believe he is a UFA after this season. You mean an FA
