I hope this is not another 'we liked your offer but' something along the lines of Stubler, who was all set to come here till Huffer gave him a call and we bid him adios...I hope the hell we're not getting played.
-
Edge the stumps out Walters and give the Peg and Bomber fans a badly needed lift, we haven't seen in these parts for awhile...I think we're close ,and when it comes down to the nitty gritty, we'll come out on top...I'm pretty sure our offer is a good one and Walters won't this slip away...
-
So with Rogers gonzo, do the stamps up the ante for Dressler....If they don't have anyone else on their radar...they could...We need to stay on top of this one..
-
....I'm going with Dressler because he is a known commodity and will most likely finish his career here......Carter would be nice but very expensive and who's to say he doesn't jump back to the NFL first chance he gets.... 'other' would be Laurent...he's a real difference maker and I would be more than happy to land him or Capicciotti

With regards to his services no longer being needed as they are going in a different direction (Harris)?
I wonder if the talks are going as well as the talks that they had previously with Dressler and Chick...Those negotiations apparently were going well also..
-
Reading some of the comments on here about Brendan Taman is quite laughable...We know/knew only too well his penchant for getting a deal done, that looks acceptable on the surface, but was flawed and sadly lacking, when reality struck home...I don't know how many deals he made when he was here, for draft pics that yielded very little...I'd say very 'questionable' was his abilities as gm but the riders signed him anyway...Now the riders and their fans see where he actually put their franchise...Mortgaged their future (see lack of Canadian talent) and drew up nightmarish contracts that are now coming back to haunt them...All on Taman the 'napkin king', ...Reality has struck riderville. BIG told ya so rider fans.

Moore has been a big disappointment...too many injuries and very little production for what we are/were paying him...Too bad it didn't work out but it looks like the Bombers are moving on from Moore... Also not surprising at all, at present, considering the talks with Dressler, which if I hazard a guess is going well.
-
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Durant could be history in Regina IF he is not prepared to take a significant salary hit....Jones is a guy that doesn't fool around (witness the deletion of household names Dressler and Chick)...Durant is an ageing qb. with injury problems and I think the writing is on the wall...Play for less or play somewhere else would be a Jones take on Darian...I don't know how much cap space the riders have but I see them making a play for argo qb. Harris...The Tennessee gambler is going all in.
-
Maybe Dressler isn't that young anymore but he still has a lot of upside...Couldn't go that wrong with the vet presence and wouldn't that just po' the rider fans to no end...Willy throwing bombs to Dressler and putting up big numbers certainly does it for me...Go get him Walters...Chick would be another guy to consider...He certainly has a lot of game left and would be worth a shot..Things are starting to heat up.
-
We had the least amount of players to re-up and we should have some extra dough to play with...Even after the release of 19 players (more than we had to start with) riders still have a bunch of guys to re-sign and some hefty vet. contracts...I see some nice talent being dropped in riderville and I see a lot of gms. smelling blood in the water... That's just one club and it's going to get very interesting as the days dwindle down to fa.
-
Ryan Smith is a Dressler clone but quite a bit younger...Luv to see either guy here...We know both of these guys are going to be around....Carter not so much and he's going to cost a bundle..FA shaping up to be very interesting compared to most..

We have. His name is Matthias Goossen.
You are correct....And if he is the starter in 16...we have our man...Now depth is another matter.

Duron Carter was not resigned by Colts off their practice roster
He'll probably shop himself around before coming back to the CFL ...I'm glad we expressed interest and IF he can't get a deal from the Als. ...go for it.
-
Sounds like Jonesies kind of guy...Give everyone in the teams management the finger and clown your way on to the team...Wonder how long he'll last in riderville, especially when the fans there are talking about dumping Dressler and his salary to keep him around...Might be a heavy Price to pay for a guy the redblacks seen as expendable...They can keep him.
-
When you lose to a bottom feeder like the Sabres you know things have hit rock bottom...Especially in your own building AND they have a guy playing for them that we dumped...What does it say?...This team is not good enough and has a long way to go to be really competitive...I think Jets fans expected a little more on their return not this...IF they keep playing this type of hockey somethings got to give...Major trade...coach firing...gm firing?...I don't see the owners letting this thing slide much longer...How many times do you get hit in the head with a bucket of crap before someone opens their eyes...We shall see.
-
Bud Grants comments exactly reflect the man....and now fans can see why we won a lot of Cups when he coached here...Just a great example of how ,as a coach, you become successful.
-
We could use the guy, but obviously he'll jump at any opportunity to stay on NFL rosters...To him the CFL is most likely a weak afterthought, and until he exhausts ALL of the opportunities down south, he will remain an afterthought to this particular fan .
-
A great insurance signing that we definitely need, considering our plight over the last two years..We know Nichols can get it done if called upon and although not spectacular he is more than competent...One year deal works for me.
-
According to some on the t-cats forum, Laurent is done with his efforts to get an nfl gig...I think we'll have a shot....although it'll be slim...it won't be none.
-
Said it before this team started heading for the basement...There is something dreadfully wrong with this club behind the scenes and the gm better figure it out...Make a move...do something before this season is a write off...And I thought the Bombers were slow in the management dept. ...Signed royally peed off.

You prefer higher taxes, increased debt and poor service?
...What I prefer is good govt. and not a bunch of b.s. being fed to us about...'oh there won't be any raising of taxes'...all the while upping every user fee in the book that amounts to the same thing...As far as increased debt goes...every province in the country has added to their debt and that under differing governments...so that's a non starter.... As well provincial services are pretty comparable to every other province in the country...So who will do better in Man.????...Anyway this is a political discussion and doesn't belong here so I'll finish up by saying....nice to see the payment on the new digs being made and we better get a few playoff games to refill the kitty...and I mean a few playoff games.
-
Laurent and Capicciotti are names being heard....hmmm those names sound good to me, and if Walters can pick these guys up in fa...BIG thumbs up...I knew we must have had some cash to play with, and it's going to take a few bucks to get into the game on these guys..Kyle has his work cut out for him.
-
Adios to Picard...he was not getting it done as he is done...We will find a decent replacement, you know someone that can actually get the ball straight back into the quarterbacks hands, instead of falling at his feet. I believe father time has caught up with Picard and he should have submitted his retirement papers to the league...His play last year was abysmal and if someone else is willing to pick him up...good luck.

You hope the NDP win another majority? yikes.
I agree with Goalie. I just sort of wish the government wrote off the debt as the cost of doing business and moved on. Bombers would be a very, very wealthy franchise if that were the case.
I didn't say I hope the NDP win another majority...it's just that I don't think the options are that great...IF we do get another govt., I hope it's a minority so we can chuck the buggers if they start screwing up..I have a long memory and was never thrilled with cons....federally or provincially.

Maybe our interest in Carter diminished when he said he'd only sign a 1 year deal?....In any event I always thought that's where he'd land if he returned....back in poutineville..
