So I checked NFL.com for a list of the invitees to their combine. As expected Elgersma isn’t even listed. I hate to use the term but his throwing for WRs is a real Hail Mary. Just wish he’d acknowledge reality and get his CFL career started.

I don't think he nor his agent is doing him any favours dragging this out. A new crop of college QBs is coming online as of April, pushing his NFL offers further away plus the fact he hasn't played any meaningful football since Green Bay TC. The sooner he comes to realize his pro QB future is in the CFL, the better for him.

I have no problem with Elgersma chasing and NFL dream but sooner or later he’ll be in the CFL if he wants a pro career at QB. I may be biased but I think the sooner he comes to that conclusion the better off he’ll be.

He’s spent it already.

Not to mention the coaching he received while playing 15 or so years on the DL. To think he couldn’t pass that knowledge on is laughable.

Turned out to be a decent game. Wrong team won, but they deserved it.

Bombers run game and defence were impressive yesterday. What wasn’t impressive was the wind up in the west side upper deck, 16C my ass!

This is a win but feels like a loss. The offence was complete garbage. Won’t win anything with that play. O’Shea and Walters should be feeling the heat.

This should erase any doubts about whether ZC is a viable option as a starter next year. However, O’Shea will stick with him.

If ZC keeps up the level of play he showed against Hamilton, the BBs will be tough to beat. I guess we have to cheer for Hamilton to beat Toronto next game in order to clinch a playoff/crossover spot.

As wbbfan noted, a good employer would consult stakeholders before major changes are made.

Regardless of whether the changes become successful or not, NOT consulting the players and coaches is comically bad.

I see your point but still don’t want a rouge for a missed FG. FG misses are rarely short. And some people call me stubborn, if you can believe it. I think of a situation where a team is trailing by 1 late in the game and has a choice of FG to win or punt for a surer 1 point. Makes for an interesting choice.

I don’t mind the removal of a rouge for a missed FG, as I don’t think you should reward failure. Shortening the field to 100 yards would theoretically make scoring easier, but shortening the end zone would do the opposite (at least as far as TDs go). Looks like they are trying to reduce FGs and increase TDs. I will wait and see if the changes make any impact on my viewing experience. it should be noted I’m an old timer with a patriotic streak, so I may be biased. I’m not in favour of making the game more American just for,the sake of doing so.

I certainly hope they get rid of the coaches cap. It was a dumb idea to begin with. However, I have a feeling the “major announcement” will be much more than that issue.

Late to the fray here, but, I’ve been watching this team for over 50 years and I can’t recall a more ugly win than that. QB play, O and D lines have been hurting the team badly all year. Whoever is running this team next year has their work cut out for them.

Whatever the method, both lines need to be upgraded. That much is obvious.

We weren’t going to win anyway, but to have 2 stupid INTs be the difference is sickening. Time to clean house after the season. Could be some lean times for a few years.

Exactly. Hitting ZC anywhere between the knees and shoulders wouldn’t have been a problem.

Well let’s face it, win or lose, the Bombers weren’t going to the Grey Cup anyways. Time for changes, players, coaches and management shouldn’t be spared.

The way the story reads in the FP is that Schoen made a choice to rehab after the Calgary injury. Personally I would have shut him down after an ACL tear was confirmed, but that might just be 20/20 hindsight on my part.

JMO, I personally think Schoen is done for his career. Two ACL tears in the same knee (I think) and getting near 30. I supported his signing and he was OK health wise until the Calgary game. Bringing him back for the LDC gave us the worst possible outcome.

I’m not quite as down on the BBs as much. Overcame a lot of mistakes to almost tie it. Showed some heart and resilience. Need to clean up some penalties and TOs for the Banjo Bowl.
