Marc Trestman fired
As per Jay Glazer... I suspect he finds a job as an OC or QBC in the NFL... but he may find his way back to the CFL if the price is right...

Buck Pierce as Bombers QB Coach?
Had to make a little adjustment for you there

Around the CFL Offseason Discussion
As much as I love seeing Toronto lose... the last thing I wanna see is them fall so far they cease to exist... that sale needs to happen ASAP... get that team some stability...

Mike Benevides Fired
Sounds like a hell of a coaching staff...

Mike Benevides Fired
Rapsheet, as in Ian Rappaport?... Or is this another source I've never heard of

Marcel Bellefeuille
Is that 46% TDs or just scoring in general?... I hope the former

Your right, Goalie, stats don't tell the whole story. For example, due to scores off fumbles and picks, Winnipeg's defence contributed to our 397 total points scored. The most telling stat IMHO is TD percentage, and that stat is calculated by dividing the number of touchdowns by the number of times the team was in the red zone. By that measurement Bombers were dead last in the league at 2.6% - a very inefficient offence that repeatedly failed to capitalize on the many chances it was given. You're right... the bombers were to only team to get scoring from defense and special teams this year... Also, I haven't looked up this stat... but 2.6% seems far too low... Where are you getting the redzone and TD numbers from? OK, looking more closely Ottawa was last in terms of TD percentage and we were next to the bottom. Link: http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/football/cfl/stats/teams/?sort=Yrd Except that stat isn't TDs per redzone attempt... it's probably TDs per possession... you're trying to tell me Calgary only scored a TD one in every 20 redzone trips... and us, one or two in every 50??? c'mon man

Apparently they just experimented in college but nothing serious developed. Does. Not. Compute... Can you imagine... me soaking his cork.... and him, soaking mine?

Stand Pat & Tweak or ... Make Real Changes
I think the real question here is... who in their right mind is up at 4:16 am?!?!

Poll: Who Should be the Bombers' New DC?
What... nobody voted for Greg Marshall??? My vote is Benevides... simply cuz BC has had a very good D for a long time... I also like Richie Hall

Bombers re-sign Matt Bucknor!
I'm pretty sure he had 2 "Boyd Autobody crunch of the game" hits last year!

Stand Pat & Tweak or ... Make Real Changes
Interesting blog... granted the source has an obvious bias... but still nice to read about some of the inner workings of the team

The Grey Cup 103 logo is ... very royal blue
Just to clarify... this is what I got from Kim's posts... 1. Royal Blue is 100% back next year 2. Bombers have already signed Ben Heenan and Tyler Holmes to multi-year deals 3. Through a series of trades, Bombers now have 3 first round picks 4. George Cortez and Mark Washington are confirmed as our new coordinators. 5. Girls like football Did I miss anything?

Unofficial Free Agent List
This seems like a breach of Barber/customer confidentiality... that's a thing, right?
-
Nothing till the New Year now?
yep, that's exactly right...

CFL Draft Order
This.... and this.... make the most sense

Korey Banks: I hate Winnipeg, I hope they never win anything again
Two things I thought were funny when I first read this yesterday... him citing his great practice stats... and he thinks it's his choice that he's out of football... that's about it...
-
Maurice Leggett signs contract extension
exactly what I was thinking... great signing...
-
The Grey Cup 103 logo is ... very royal blue
Nice... I like the simplistic look of the logo... just like the Royal Blue uniforms...
-
Mike Benevides Fired
I think someone already stated in this thread that there won't be much options outside of newbies and retreads... any CFL coach with a good track record will be unavailable.... only maybe/sleeper could be Scott Milanovich... I agree!

Michael Sam Possibly Playing for Als Next Season
I'm not really sure about Dallas but I know St Louis is very deep at D-line... he was a long-shot to make the team, no matter what his sexual orientation is... from day one they knew it would likely come down to Sam vs Ethan Westerbrooks... and Westerbrooks was very good in camp and pre-season... that was truely a football decision
-
Vanier cup
Basically Quinn Everett is a project and we'll be lucky if he is good enough to start in a couple years... any higher expectation is unrealistic at this point...
-
Former Bomber Coach Mike Riley
That is surprising... count me in as one who thought he would be an Oregon state lifer... but Nebraska is a pretty sweet gig... he inherits a good team and good program that can win the Big 10 every year... good for him....

Hate to see good Canadians leave the CFL.... but best of luck to Jones in his NFL endeavour...
