Fatty Liver

Zach hinted last game Biggie could be the next Prez. of the CFLPA, with his business background kind of makes sense, following in the footsteps of his old partner Soli.

I don't think there is good reason for a purge in BC, if the team plays up to their potential they have a reasonable chance as any of winning the West next season. Who are the most qualified candidates available for HC? Bringing in a rookie could be a multi-year project or an instant disaster, they probably shouldn't flush the toilet unless they have a sure winner lined up for HC.

Jones is good and currently cheap, that's important with a number of higher profile players heading towards FA.

I think all 3 of Lawler's TD's against the Riders were the result of poor coverage or broken plays, don't expect the Argo secondary to allow any easy pitch and catch.

Bomber players are too scared of "you know who" to do anything that stupid.

Time??? What time? Betcha the Argos will be coming with their 9-man rotation again, there's not enough x and o's to nullify their pass rush everytime, or enough Wheaties left in the box to overcome the physical advantage they hold in the trenches. Zach better make like his best Trevor Harris and get rid of the ball fast! No dawdling or doodling around in the backfield he has to avoid any of those costly fumbles that kill drives and sap momentum.

Everyone on Riderfans is celebrating the rude gesture, no apologies anywhere to be found. Mace must have had Armstead on a choke chain to keep him from running out and joining Cox in the fun, as he did the same thing in TD Pacific before he was cut by the RB's.

Can't remember the details well but In the first game against the Argos, the refs. allowed the Argos a time out late in the game, even though Dinwiddie lost it earlier on a failed challenge. No conspiracy, simply an accounting error.

Natl. pundits across the league seem to be more impressed with the season Tyrell Ford had than what Brady did, which was more or less on par and expected. It's been a long time since a Natl CB played as well as Ford has, he receives little benefit or recognition because local reporters stacked the deck with Brady. As it is the awards ceremony is almost a non-event with little drama and few fans even bothering to watch the broadcast, partner TSN has so little faith in the interest they're airing it exclusively on TSN+ late Thursday evening. Standing pat has failed, a shakeup is necessary to revive the event and create more fan interest. Each category should have at least 3-5 contestants, that way you wouldn't see so many fans tuning out as soon as the 2 finalists are announced.

Listen to any CFL based podcast over the last month, there's quite a few of them if you're willing to listen to other people's points of view, they've discussed this concept on almost every one of them, including numerous 3DN podcasts.

Disagree, if the Bombers have the two top Canadians in Brady and Ford, why can't they both be nominated and let the voters determine who's more worthy? Just as relevant, if the two best defensive players are in the East, why substitute a Western player of lesser value as a finalist?

Look at it this way, if the Bombers could backfill with MBT or Arbuckle for a single year heading into next year's GC , they'd be in a much stronger position than they are currently with Dolegala and Wilson as backups. How many years can Walters roll the dice on Zach remaining healthy for the entire season? They've already been incredibly fortunate with his health. "Just one more time, whispered the forlorn gambler to no one in particular."

They would have a pretty strong QB room if they could sign Harris for $300k and backfill with MBT or Arbuckle.

The point of the article was not to highlight the individual players picked to win, it was to illustrate the current awards system is outdated and needs to be fixed by removing artificial boundaries of teams and divisions. BTW the same concept every other football journalist in Canada agrees with. "However, just like in years past, the league’s outdated voting system will have as large an effect on the results as straight statistical comparisons. With local voters only able to select one nominee from each team and regional voters limited to one choice per division, the best two candidates rarely end up on the final ballot." Maybe you should read the article before commenting, eh?

V.A. isn't any better, said a number of things in his season end presser that were better left unsaid.

“Sometimes, having two incredibly talented quarterbacks is not a good thing because it divides people. It divides fans, it divides guys in the locker room, it divides coaches,” Fajardo said in his end-of-season media availability on Monday. “I have all the faith in Coach Maas and in Danny in them making the right decision — whatever that decision is.” Cody, Cody, Cody, no matter where he is, where he's been or where he's going, given the chance he always manages to say the wrong thing. https://3downnation.com/2024/11/12/having-two-incredibly-talented-quarterbacks-is-not-a-good-thing-alouettes-qbs-cody-fajardo-davis-alexander-view-co-existence-unlikely/ Sounds like Alexander is also chomping at the bit to replace him and will be looking for a starting role this off-season wherever that may be.

Twasn't, Arbuckle played the majority of the game. 12/22 87 0 0 Dukes played a few snaps and came in on short yardage. 3/4 37 0 0

O'Shea indicated in his press conference yesterday, the choice of uniforms is made between Brad Fotty and the dressing room.

Agree, had to listen to the game on CJOB as I was at the rink all day, kudos to Derek Taylor for doing such a great job describing the different formations and the player substitutions used by the Bombers D. I watched the game later Sat. night and not once did the TSN broadcast crew ever mention the Bombers had up to 9 DB's on the field at the same time! It seems like the description of strategic formations being used should be fundamental to better explaining the game, but somehow tactical info. is considered not worthy of presenting??? The visual isn't much better, with the tighter camera angles provided and the focus on the offensive backfield it's difficult to see what formations are being used in the secondary. Hopefully with the advancement in technology taking place TSN reconsiders how they go about presenting the game and don't cling tenaciously to the 50+ year old model they've based their broadcast on.

Taylor said Younger invited him back earlier in the season when BA originally went down but he couldn't make it work with his job or family. He posted a video of a workout later on and Younger reached out to him again to see if he was still interested in playing, and they made it work. https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/11/11/in-my-words-nick-taylor/

I think you're stretching his capabilities, granted Arbuckle was at the helm when the Argos beat the Bombers earlier in the season, but lord have mercy his average completion was 4 yds. 12/22; 87 yards; 0 TD; 0 INT A-DINK-A-DUNK-A-DINK-A-DUNK.

I'm not convinced the Elks will renew Jarious Jackson but I guess that depends on who they appt. as their GM, even after Jones was fired, he didn't manage the QB situation all that well. Adding the asst.. HC title to Younger won't pad his pocket as the Bombers are already maxed out, unless the CFL does away with the administrative cap in the off-season and allows teams to spend what they need to retain staff.

Have to wonder how long the Bombers can hold onto Jordan Younger, the guy is proving to have brilliant defensive mind and he has to be high on the list of any team looking for a brand new HC or HC/DC. Can't see him hanging around as a DC if he receives offers to double his salary, does he have any ties to Wpg? He's paid his dues on the way up now it's time for him to reap the green, once appointed a HC in the CFL the title can be milked for a solid decade in a multitude of locations. I'm preparing mentally for Richie Hall 2.0, coming sooner than you'd like.
