Knock Schiefele down to the third line play Lowry and PLD a ton...take Schiefele off the PP1, time to shake this guy up,he ain't scoring and he doesn't hit...or play well defensively. Why is he still getting 20 min a game and PP 1?

This draft will be very interesting.  There's about 10 guys that are probably NFL players for how long that last for them.  Will be interesting to see how far they drop.  Bombers could be a team to take a swing on one of them in the first couple rounds.
There's also a lot of depth in the draft, and Canadian depth in general around right now.  The draft is pretty heavy on linemen both ways and LB's.  Not much for "skill" guys.  Not sure if that makes those "skill" guys more of a target early or not.
 
Korte-Moore is a great pass rusher in Canada West.  I think he'll be gone before the Bombers pick.  He's a guy that probably isn't quite good enough to get the NFL look, but might I suppose depending on his testing.  He's an end from UBC, kind of hard to judge him because OL play in CanWest hasn't been great last couple years.  Most of the guys who will be CFLers on the line are his teammates.  Don't think he'll play anything but end in CFL.
Anthony Bennett, Regina by way of FLA and will qualify as a national.  Great rush end in Canada West, on lighter side but could be one of those "ratio breakers" and certainly a guy who will be able to be in rotation.  Let's just say though he feasted on shitty teams (like the Bisons)...didn't do much vs Sask.
Bemiy from Southern Utah might be gone earlier than the Bombers pick too.  Probably available right away.  Kind of a Sayles type.  Would be able to rotate inside and outside.
I watched Seguin at UND a lot, he transferred to another FCS school.  Another inside-outside guy but I think likely to be a 3-technique guy in CFL.
Obiang out of Texas State, where Dobson finished up, is an interesting one.  Nose tackle type.  Will be interesting to see how he tests at whatever pro day's he does, don't think he's participating in any of the Canadian combines.
Sambu out of Maine, again where Dobson played until his last year, played a lot of OLB, stand up end.  Likely to be a solid special teamer, probably like a 4th-5th round pick, came from a prep school too that a few of our Manitoban players who ended up down south went through.
Bonhomme out of South Alabama via Indiana via the prep school circuit, huge recruit, another guy who played with a bunch of Manitoban kids in prep school.  Stand up end type, played all LB spots in States but bet he's a rush end up here.  Could be a great value pick mid draft, think he won't get NFL look.
Schmekel, another Regina guy, greasy looking guy, big but agile, nose tackle type, dominant career in Canada West basically from day 1.  I think he'll kill a lot of guys at the combine 1 v 1.
 
Bison guys:
Kornelson...not sure he's a DL in the CFL.  Think a team might turn him around to OG.  He's got the OL body.  Probably run about 5.6 at the combine.
Francis...3 technique type in CFL I think, played weak end for Bisons, basketball guy, got BIG later in high school so he has pretty good feet.  Could be another turn around candidate to OL.
Viner-Cox...tweener 3 technique type, played a bit of both for Bisons.  Not sure he has the explosiveness to make the jump.

No, technically they are. I even think they'll make it into the playoffs. My point is that they are far from where most fans would want them to be. In the lasat 15 to 17 games they have one of the worst records in the NHL. Anything can happen I guess, but frustration with this is perfectly reasonable ...

**** me, this team is infuriating.

This team is _____________ (insert best descriptive word).
hint: frustrating, sad, indefensible, not good enough, dismal, pathetic, past it’s expiration date …

Way to make up For your gaffes Pionk!

Big win.  The Jets deserved those 2 points.

But when will the fans admit it?

and we have a shot at Connor Bedard....lol

The only positive that i can see if we miss the playoffs is that the GM will finally have to realize it ain't the coach...

And there’s so many times he can say the players aren’t executing enough and playing to their full potential without taking some heat himself.

Dru hasn't even had an entire year yet. I would be more inclined to agree with you if Dru had more film on him and experience. 
 
I respectfully disagree- very limited reps to make such an assessment. 
Not sure if they had a choice really, as Dane was traded and not acquired through FA. 

Pretty much everyone that was on that Als OL in the 2000s should be in the HOF eventually. That was a ridiculous line in front of AC for awhile there...

Obryan Goodson one of the 5 bombers signings today is a stove clone. Shade under 6’ and 300 but an extremely disruptive nose tackle. I’d love to see another one or two brought in but he’s a great pick up. 

Wow! Helle was the difference again. Along with the iron. I hope were trending the right way. But still giving up ways too many high qaility chances.

Sucker punch Jimmy Mann the legend. Still being felt by Penguin fans to this day.

It's bigger than just the GM and coach this team has always had one arm tied behind it's back. Every year it gets worse with whining millionaire players that won't play here or want to play somewhere else. We ( fans) might have to decide is it better just to have a team here no matter how competitive or no team?
