Piggy 1

To be honest, he was a three time Grey Cup Champ as a player and the Bombers were in 3 Grey Cups during his time in management (although they unfortunately didn't win any of those). I think he rightfully could be remembered for his football career and the foundation he started.

A Bomber legend, whether you agreed with everything he did as Team CEO or not. Too soon ...

I think this heading is in contention for the worst sports headline of 2024.
As I got sucked into the clickbait scheme, his contract extension is nearing the finish line with the Hurricanes.
People responsible for titling articles should be be put into a headlock and be given a noogy.

Watching this I wonder if "our guy" was Kevens or Ike, or even both. 

Very sad news about Lyle Bauer.

Four added the roster:
https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/05/01/blue-bombers-add-four-to-roster/

15 DL on the roster, plus 2 picks plus 1 returning from college. 7 of the 15 are DTs, plus 1 pick and 1 returning. Could see another couple ends come in still. 
11 ol  plus I would expect the 2 late picks to be in camp. Could see us adding more OL before full camp. 
9 lbers plus 2 drafted and 1 returning from college. Thats a LOT of lbers, but we can always use more and always carry lots. 
26 dbs on the roster plus the 3 signed today. 0.0 thats a lot lol. I could see a handful getting cut in rookie camp and a bunch more brought in for full camp. 
4 rbs plus 1 drafted and 1 returning. I could see another imp or two coming in, though probably more KR types. RB and QB would be nearly impossible to crack to roster on here. 
22 wrs plus 2 drafted. We never stop adding wrs or dbs. Could see a few more wrs to limit lopsidedness in rookie camp, and again KR types. 
4 qbs plus the 1 from the college program, probably won't see an arm brought in unless some one is hurt or cut early. 
2 kickers and 2 punters. Probably done on that front too. 
 

and then a final story - "Edmonton is looking to sweep the series and win the cup tomorrow night...a fact we've just chosen to ignore in our coverage until now...so let's look at what an Edmonton cup victory means for the Leafs in 2024-25"....

Normal offseason Sportsnet - What are the Leafs doing with their coaching and management, followed by what the Leafs are doing in the draft, then it's time for Leafs FA. 

Think of Clercius as depth but also him and Chris-Ike as replacements for Mike Miller/Damian Jackson on O.  Let's hope they can be effective role players immediately.  Also BOLO replacement and cover in case Augustine hangs them up.
I can't see both Clercius and Chris-Ike not being on the roster.  They need to backfill BOLO.  I guess Murphy could be the guy.  Probably won't be dressing 7 OL either.

So we filled the loss of BOLO, Filled the "loss" of Damian Jackson with a CDN, added some depth along both lines...no stand-out starts but depth that we hope one or two turn into staters one day....overall IMO a good draft when stepping back and looking at it. We didn't get any of the "sexy" name picks but IF the big name OL we took a flyer on ever comes up North.....
IMO no big swings, no immediate impact but just a good overall draft.

The biggest thing to me was they didn’t fold and die. 
 
you can see we were severely exposed defensively. Pionk was a liability all series. Stan didn’t play last night but was a give away machine when he did. You can teach systems and all this but if a player just makes a dumb play. That’s on the player. This series showed me we need to seriously improve the D. Morrissey Samberg and Demelo are all we got. Only guys who can make a pass. Miller stood out but not cuz he was great. He was solid but stood out cuz he wasn’t pionk or Stanley. 

Whelp, results aside (the problems this team has have been and will be beaten to death), my boys had a blast at the game yesterday. The crowd was into it so they got the full whiteout experience, and my older son especially couldn't wipe the grin off his face for most of the first period just looking at the spectacle of it all. From that aspect, last night was a success.

Go Bombers. 

Jets lost to a juggernaut. Played their best game tonight. Showed heart and pushback. Really did. They had a solid year but I would hope they recognize that some change is necessary especially on the defensive end. 
 
Dillon and miller won’t be back. 
pionk should be gone. Schmidt is actually a find 3 d man. Demelo is ufa also 
Toffoli obviously a rental. Think they would move Iafallo and his 4 million cap hit. Perhaps one of Ehlers or Connor also.  Connor prob has more value. Think this series showed that our best game was our last one and it wasn’t good enough. 
 
ch ch. changes coming. 
 
gotta wonder if this is the end of Bowness. 
 
jets didn’t collapse and die tonight so that’s definitely a good sign. 
Pionk really really bad tho. I’d strongly consider using a buyout there because I’m not sure he’s worth anything in a trade. 
 
Wonder what chipman was thinking 
 
28 goals against in 5 games. Yikes. The team D got exposed 

Super disappointing but not surprised how this ended. 
Allowing 5 goals against is unacceptable. 
Refs, although not the difference, we're quite poor this game.

Refs didnt lose series..................give your head a shake......

Refs didnt lose series..................give your head a shake......

Refs didnt lose series..................give your head a shake......

That’s all folks. 
lol. 5 3. But ok. 

Seems KC built nicely for regular season play but in playoffs where play is tighter less space he isn’t as effective. He moves from great to good.

Yup. Him and Ehlers just not built for it. Monahan isn’t either. 

Pionk just awful all series long…

For about 25 games now he’s been cursed. Actually the last time dude was worth it was the Canadian division 
Pionk scores winner as Avs eliminate jets
