Yeah I was fully believing Lawler would be back at a reasonable (but still high) dollar amount during the off season. I was surprised he left but not surprised the Bombers let him leave. I also went on record saying if they had to choose between Schoen and Lawler....Schoen would be the right one. All of that has been wrong lol. Lawler is looking like he's taken his game to another level and Schoen may not ever be what he was. And now making our QB play with RECs who don't match his style (Big guys who go up and get the ball) is just building on that mistake. Maybe Case blows up this week and absolutely proves us wrong. But I'm not holding my breath.

agreed. Though I've always thought athletes should be able to bet for themselves. Not against obviously.

that would make more sense

I'm hoping things evolve as the season goes on (especially on Defense) and we see more of the low snap count/PR guys get involved and older vets get less time on the field. I'm really hoping that's the plan...cause if I have to watch another mesh absolutely torch the defense I'm going to lose my mind.

I saw that and thought it was a bit odd they would make him the face of it. Just makes the situation even weirder imo lol.

Again....this is YOUR narrative. Since that announcement has come out, the CFLPA has stated that it's not sure where that money will be allocated. Or even if it's going to materialize. https://3downnation.com/2025/03/27/cfl-salary-cap-increase-not-set-in-stone-cflpa-still-working-through-revenue-share-allocation/#:~:text=“There's never going to be,available%2C please check again soon. Yes, you made up that there is a morale issue in the locker room. There hasn't been any reports of that or even rumours. It's something you've decided might be a thing, based on nothing other than players who left for unknown (as in, we don't know if the club tried to keep them or not) reasons. You're making things up.

I think he can become one in the right system. Whatever they tried against BC isn't it though.

yeah sorry those comments were directed at you specifically.

Last year I honestly put that almost solely on Buck. They knew what didn't work against the argos and decided to try it anyway.

that doesn't mean Walters was being lazy though. They could have had money in place for other players...maybe some worked out by upping their offer...or maybe some didn't and they weren't able to sign some players. And when those priorities settled, they had enough money to make an offer to Ford that he would accept. "Hey we're not going to be able to get to Fords #'s unless priorities A-B and C don't happen." Turns out A-B and C don't happen, and they make an offer to Ford. Which turns out to be too late. This or any number of other scenarios could have happened. So there was a plan...priorities shifted and they could move forward with offering a field side corner way more than he should be making. This idea there was "no plan" is idiotic.

Yeah I don't like thinking about it...I don't get the Mitchell situation.

The west is really confusing this year. Each team has looked good and bad. Though to be fair to cgy, their bad game came with absolute crap weather. Buuut that doesn't bode well for later in the year either.

While we're making things up. I think the rise in pre-game beer and hotdog prices points to the financial struggles this team is facing.

He wasnt exactly make great decisions that game either

I hope it's nice. I'm getting a nice treat that game. Was nominated for coach of the week. My club (Rods) get $500 donation and I'm getting a $100 GC to the Bomber store and get to go on the field for pregame with my boy.

Lawler

Things could really go either way in any game this week.

Line of scrimmage has more impact than coaching imo.

....lol....this year ok....its not Bo hasn't looked like dog **** for the majority of the last few years.

Yup, same with Bo's pass to Lawler in the endzone last night.

Give it a few more losses.

I think speed meant he's been playing for 200 yrs. Lol

I didnt say he was a top teir qb....though I think the state of qbing in this league would have him in the top tier. But he's not what he was, even when he first got here. But pretending like Bo is better (which is what prompted my post), is ridiculous.

Maybe. Field side corner should be making the plays he made imo. He had one or two outstanding plays, and got burnt on multiple double moves. He's athletic enough to make up for his mistakes. But as of right now, he's had one arguably better than solid season. For 230k you need to be out performing every defensive player on the field. There's no way for anyone to say whether or not they went after top end talent. Unless someone has phone records available.

Things in expect to see here during the season "We should trade for Trevor harris" "Tre Ford should have signed here and we could have kept his bro" "Fajardo would look good in blue and gold" "Time to replace our entire starting Oline" "If we had Bo Levi, they'd have gone 5-0 in the GCs" Lol keep being you MMB.
