I like the 1961 helmets with the white lightning bolt and numbers on the side. Anyone know if that was the one and only year Bombers wore those? Awesome look!

The last handoff poorly executed

Blue ahead but nothing to swagger about.

That's more like it.

Big play by Houston! Now time for the O - forget about pocket passing, let's call some sprint outs FFS

Goofy to have Grant running up the middle where we can't block - he's an MVP

Brown is not activated for this game - non-football scratch etc etc

Yoshi having a tough season so far.

Bombers D has been weak against the run all year.

Games like that, such ineptitude on both sides - I love this league but that's just embarrassing for the CFL.

Bombers are tied with Argos for lead in touchdowns scored (Argos have had a bye already).
Oliviera leading league in yards from scrimmage by like 100 yards over Schoen. Only guys close in yards per game are Mills from Calgary and Tuggle from Ottawa.
Bombers (19), Argos (19), Ticats (6 LOL), Elks (6 LOL) haven't missed a field goal or PAT.
Thus far the placekickers with the lowest percentage are Paredes and Lauther.
Calgary defence has given up a lot of rushing yards. Just hand Oliveira the rock and pound 'em. Also, Calgary has already given up one punt return TD and they've given up a ton of return yards. We can 100% expect Janarion Grant to entertain us against team Dickheadson.

yeah that just doesn't make sense. If the Jets are forking out $8 million as part of the deal then the Kings would have had to throw something else into the pot - those three guys and a 2nd are worth a PLD, but not PLD AND $8 million USD. No way.
A month ago Dubois still had one year left on his old contract before becoming a UFA. So that old deal had to be voided before a new deal could be done. Pat Brisson, Dubois' agent, said 2 weeks ago that the player was not signing an extension with Jets. Then he signs an 8 year extension with the Jets. That new contract gets traded to Kings. I'm suggesting it is conceivable the Jets paid some of the $68M - as an inducement to Dubois accept the terms of the extension and to the Kings to part with those 3 players plus draft pick.
26 minutes ago, JCon said:No, he's not a Jet. They are not paying him anything on July 1st.
They don't have to pay him anything on July 1 if they've already paid $8M bonus on signing.

His salary in year 1 is $9M with $8M of that coming in the form of a signing bonus.
It is possible the Jets paid that $8M depending on the date the signing bonus is do, but I'd hope all of that is on the Kings. Can't see them retaining any salary beyond that.
OK that makes sense. Jets pay Dubois an $8M bonus in year 1 of the deal - to make it more palatable for LA. That's what I was trying to get at.

They're not keeping anything. Why would they?
It was a sign and trade so he could get 8 years.
Why not just trade him, since the player has already agreed to the trade in principle, and let Kings negotiate the value and term? Consensus seems to be Chevy got a very good deal in a situation where Jets did not hold too many cards. So it is conceivable, since Dubois still had one year left on his old contract, that while voiding the old contract, that Jets agreed to pay the first $8.5M on the new contract upon signing. So Kings only pay 7 of the 8 years.
-
How much of the 8 x $8.5M Dubois contract did Jets retain? That has not been reported. It was Jets, not Kings, after all, who signed Dubois to the deal prior to transferring the contract to LA. Assuming Jets swallowed at least the first year - upfront - of his new contract.

Hoping the turnaround comes next game with just a few tweaks and that age hasn't caught up with us. As noted, Lions had their way with Bryant and Hardrick in pass pro. It's like their feet were stuck in mud. But then it wasn't just them, it seemed the entire O-line took turns at embarrassing themselves. This Oline thrives on delivering a smash-mouth running game, so, as others said, why did we abandon that? Or, why didn't we bring in extra pass protection? That goes to coaching and adjustments. Someone pointed out that Buck's playcalling - emptying the backfield - wasn't very astute, especially when the Oline is playing like a collective turnstile. Agree 100%. with that. On D, Jefferson and Bighill were AWOL. Lot of $$$ tied up in Bryant, Yoshi, Biggie and Willie - so that experience should correct itself unless, you know, age. I think the D backfield will quickly sort itself out. There is talent back there. Thankfully it's a long season. Hopefully its not a really long season.

Bombers at Ottawa
in Blue Bomber Discussion
Posted · Edited by Doublezero
What is the extent of Grant's injury? I mean I saw the play and it was an extremely goofy call by Buck, but I don't see JG listed on either the one or six game list. CFL says ankle. It is shocking really that no one in the news media actually asked O'Shea at the presser today if Grant was going on the injured list or whether he was day-to-day.
