    I guess … except if we get an injury at pretty much any position other than the defensive secondary.
    Augustine is not a full time running back (although we’d go American there), Jeremy Murphy is nowhere near as proven as BOLO nor does he bring the same toolset, our DL depth is nowhere near as good as some of these other teams, our OL depth has been thinner than it’s ever been. We’ve got 7-8 starting calibre players and a bunch of kick chasers. That’s about it and that’s not good enough for a team with championship aspirations. The draft will be huge for us.

    It's not wrongful dismissal. They didn't dismiss her, they simply didn't pick up her next contract.
    Corroboration of at least the bus part of the complaint should be easy, but we don't even have that yet, but assuming the story is true, and we only have her side of it, it's workplace harassment & likely uttering threats.
    People need to stop throwing around terms like 'Sexual Predator'. It weakens the term so much as to be useless. Asking a girl out, even multiple times, and complaining that she was going out with someone else on a bus doesn't rise to the level of Sexual Predator.  
    Everyone jumping on the bandwagon to 'protect' her after only hearing her side of the story is exactly why they went to the media in the first place. Kelly & Murphy have already been convicted in the court of public opinion. The Argos can't attack her or the story without coming off as evil. IMO that's why we won't see anything in the press from there side.

    EP77 got a reaction from JCon in Passing of Ken Ploen and Gerry James   
    I was lucky to see him play at the WPG Stadium. I was 9 when I saw him and Leo Lewis , Funston and Ernie Pitts play . I could go on but I was teared up when I saw this he was a legend a great Man I have my BB jacket signed by him at the 2012 Grey cup. 4 cups a MANitoban !! The best I have ever seen!

    If Bombers lose Jeffcoat and one of either Oliveira or Schoen, should be money in the kitty to go after Mathieu Betts.

    Nah, Schmeckel may be bad but he's not the worst all time. The two worst players over the past 60 years I ever saw play were two qbs... John Schneider & Jason Boltus. They were damned awful.

    Time for us to face reality and admit the Bombers are no longer the best team in the league this year, if they ever were. No part of this team can legitimately claim to be the best- not the quarterbacking, not the receivers, not the d-line, not the linebacking nor the d-backs, and certainly not the special teams who are anything but. Brady Oliveira is a bright spot.
    I see the same pattern emerging as last year where the Bombers stumbled late in the season, bumbling their way to victories but spiraling downward through the playoffs and finally crashing in the Grey Cup game. It just seems to be happening earlier this year. O'Shea and Co. seem to be just fine with the current level of play and obvious holes in the roster.

    this is really just a silly, nonsensical piece, but from the Bombers section: 
     
    WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS
    NOTABLE
    RET Janarion Grant
    As explosive and smooth as any return man in the league, Janarion Grant has to stay in Winnipeg or he’ll make them pay with a game-changing play, the same way he boosts the Bombers win probabilities every time he touches the ball.
    UNLIKELY
    REC Shaq Evans
    Shaq Evans needs a change of scenery and the Bombers could be just what the doctor ordered. I’m not sure of his pure fit here, but I could see his production returning to his breakout season in Saskatchewan and he’d certainly spice up Labour Day Weekend.
    LOCK:
    REC Greg Ellingson
    He loves Collaros, and he should. They were meant to play football together.
    PERSONAL REQUEST
    DL Micah Johnson
    This would be chaos, but as my mind wanders through this article creation process I had to laugh at how ridiculous Willie Jefferson and Jackson Jeffcoat would be with Micah Johnson eating up multiple players inside.

    1. Parker - only guy who could tackle. 7 in total and most were because he made a great play 
    2. Lawrence - made some plays 
    3. Brown . Over 300 yards and 3 tds with a make shift oline and your starting RB basically playing 1 quarter 
    HH - Bailey.
    Honorable mention to Grant.  
    HHH to all the Bomber fans in BC tonight. Looked like several hundred If not thousands

    -Friggen TSN. Breaks away immediatly before the players are off the field for a coverage and breakdown of,a basketball game. Finally return to the CFL, get part way through the game report and stop it for breaking news. The post game talk by the basketball coach. What a joke.

    I didn't get a chance to watch the replay until after I posted what I posted (I watched it live on a phone screen, and at that size and with Suitor/Cuthbert saying it just seemed like basic hand-fighting, I took it as such). Since I have now, I agree.
    Also, I think Jones was referring to the roster fines he/the team received when he said he's fined for things other teams aren't. (He's wrong on that, too, of course!)

    I don't even understand that sillyness anyway.  Cut Marve for ... Partridge?  Moniz?  Sunseri?  All of those are downgrades and only barely serviceable at best.  Our QB situation is fine and doesn't need fixing.
     
    Our O-line ??? No thanks to those doosh's at TSN I have no idea what kind of shape that's in, but I expect we're better in that department.
     
    I only hope our holes on defense have been because Hall is intentionally going vanilla so he can throw the ripples at Darrian Durant come opening night but if that isn't the case .... Maybe we can call up Randy Melvin and tell him he has a job as DC here.

    A guy, who when faced with adversity, quit on his coaches and teammates. Exactly the sort of guy I want on a team that's going to have more than its share of ups and downs this season.
    His only asset, at this point, is that he's been around the CFL .. not exactly a major selling point.

    I agree. we actually did something this off season that we haven't done in a long time and that is sign a bunch of free agents or trade for a bunch of guys who were going to be free agents. Upgrades for sure at certain spots. 
     
    Little underwhelming but... all in all, we don't really know what we got with the "rookies" until we see them play in a meaningful game, may seem underwhelming now but, if a couple of them step up when given that opportunity too, then all concern should go away.

    EP77 reacted to M.O.A.B. in Bombers name Gene Dahlquist as new QB coach   
    He was Scottish Claymore HC in NFLEL but apparently he has no QB coach in his staff, so its safe to assume he coached the QBs too. His OC coached the receivers.

    I don't think anyone said it was automatic.  People didn't think anyone else wanted or needed him.  We were wrong.  Big surprise.  Stop twisting what people are saying.
     
    Also, I don't see anyone on here that thought Burris and Willy were the Bombers plan all along.  Most of us thought they wanted Collaros.  Some, like Mr. P said he wanted Willy and Burris, but most of us thought they were going to go after Collaros.
     
    He's gone now...we're moving on.  What do you want us to do, continue to whine and ***** that we didn't get him and hold on to the past?  No, we've let it go and now we're looking at who we want second since someone else won out on Collaros.  Now we'd like to get Burris and Willy.  Hopefully we at least get Burris.  But you never know.
     
    If plan A doesn't work, you modify your goals and hope for plan B.
