[Grey Cup: Calgary vs Toronto]

 I think my GF just may be the one 

[Grey Cup: Calgary vs Toronto]

Bo Levi ZERO as in zero clutch. Instead of playing it safe for the field goal, or playing it underneath (remember there was over 20 seconds left.. plenty of time) he wanted to be the hero and threw it into double coverage.

They just need a better QB than Masoli who’s far too inaccurate.

I thought Masoli was really good down the stretch. Especially once Jones took over. Could be a dark horse for a breakout year next year.. similar to Matt Nichols in Winnipeg. 

[Game 21: Jets at Kings]

Exactly. Last thing we want to do is burn our young goalie out. Mason is a proven vet. If he can't be trusted to be able to get us 2 points on the road then we should never have signed him. I think he'll be fine. 

[Saskatchewan @ Toronto]

We don't NEED a Toronto market.. however not having the biggest market in Canada would certainly make our league look bush league, but not as bush league as a city that's so big but can't even fill up a tiny stadium.

I feel nauseous after reading all those grammatical and spelling errors.   my god. did this yokel attend any school, at all?

Would you expect anything less out of Saskatchewan?

[In Case You Missed It.....Parts 1 & 2]

I wonder how many HOF coaches have never had a HOF calibre QB though..

[In Case You Missed It.....Parts 1 & 2]

Yes Trestman is a very good coach.. I don't think anyone is disputing that.

I've never seen a football coach with his demeanor before, he was born to be an accountant named Murray that simply showed up at the wrong job interview.

I think his demeanour is comparable to O'sheas. The one difference is Trestman is just so well spoken. You can tell he's highly intelligent.

Ike is the type of guy I'd like to see get some consideration as a DC. Get some new blood in these coaching roles.

Sure.. just not here. He may or may not be a good coach. Tough to say but Ottawas secondary was brutal this season.

Trestman put in a system that didn't let Ray get his ass kicked game in and game out. Same as he did for Calvillo. 

It's almost If though you protect your QB good things happen to your offense! Besides the QB position id argue the offensive line is the most import aspect to a teams success in football.

Jackson was horrible this year, Montreal should've got rid of him. 

He wasn't great but look who was throwing to him. He still had over 700 receiving yards which would put him third behind Adams and Harris, but ahead of Denmark, and Dressler in yards. He will certainly neee to prove himself next season so I wouldn't mind bringing him if the price is right. He was good in BC and great in Ottawa..

The different between the Argonauts in 2016 vs. 2017: a healthy Ricky Ray.

Yes but don't underestimate the Trestman effect.. 

[I like Matt Nichols]

I can definitely see Collaros back in Toronto. 

[Talks with Mulumba]

Hahaha practise roster player and thinks he deserves the world! I have respect for a guy like Ricky Williams who was legitimately a super star in college and at one point one of the best running backs coming up here in his prime because he simply wanted to play football. If he put his ego in check he could make a good career in the CFL and make good money doing it. Oh well enjoy Walmart!

[Blue Bomber Free Agent List]

If we could pick up Demski in the off season and a guy like Ernest Jackson I would be a happy camper.  Manny is wishful thinking.. but a core of Jackson, Adams, Dressler, Demski, Coates/Wolitarsky would be a big upgrade already. 

[I like Matt Nichols]

Confirmed he played with a broken finger in his throwing hand. That's our QB ladies and gentlemen. Kudos to him for being a warrior and playing through the pain. I really want to see him hoist a grey cup in a blue and gold uniform.

I don't think Bond will be NFL bound. I think he comes back.

Fingers crossed. He'll certainly generate some interest though however. 

[Blue Bomber Free Agent List]

I'd be okay with moving on from a lot of these guys.. I'd love to see Hardick and Bryant back on offence, and the trio of Randle, Heath, and Leggett (assuming he is healthy) I'd also bring back Wild, Dressler, Medlock, and Westerman only if they decided to take paycuts because quite frankly they weren't worth their salary this season. Everyone else on this list I'm in different about. I wouldn't mind have Flanders back either but he may be looking for a starting position on another team and I wouldn't blame him for wanting the opportunity to start.. I didn't even include Bond because i assume he's NFL bound. 

[When do we fire Richie Hall?]

Imagine how many points we'd score if we had a receiving core. Ours is arguably the worst in the league..

[Game 17 : Coyotes]

In 15 games all season only 4 games have we not picked up a single point.. that's a good stat. Especially after a slow start to the season. We need to beat a team like Arizona at home and get the two points. 

[Around the League 2017 - Playoffs]

I'd take Dressler and Medlock back if the price is right. Obviously if they're expecting to be paid like they were this season I think it's time to move on..

[What Changes do the Bombers Need this Off-season to Improve the Team?]

There should be some interesting available free agent receivers... I hate that we will probably have to over pay for an American receiver but our scouting has proved at this point that we do need to do that if we want to give Nichols the weapons he needs to be successful.

Bumping this topic because he's our warrior behind centre. Dude played with a broken finger, lower body injury, and still played great. Dude named his little girl (middle name) Winnie for Winnipeg. This guy is the starting QB we've needed desperately for years and it looks like he's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Matt deserves a half way decent defense and he deserves some more depth at the WR position. But regardless I wanted to once again give thsi dude mad props. What a year, what a leader. Thank you for saving us from Drew Willy and god knows what we'd be like without him.

We'll always have a chance win a good QB Nichols gives our team automatic stability no matter what. Hopefully we can get him the weapons he deserves next year and we'll come back better than ever. 

[Thank You to the Blue Bombers for a Great and Entertaining Season.]

To put it into perspective.. we went 12-6, we hosted a home playoff game and unfortunately we played the hottest team in the league heading into the playoffs. It's unfortunate to be one and done but it was a good season, and I think we're a few small steps away from being even better next season. overall it was a great season and I'm already excited for next year.
