he admitted to it in the post game... in a "I shouldn't have done it and my emotions got the best of me" kind of way

Schmekel > Thomas... having them both out there is the biggest problem...

the odd part is he challenged a Demski catch last year just to stick it to the refs... knowing that wining the challenge would actually cost us two yards....

it says "against the host teams"... so I think we just play Tor in Winnipeg twice next year instead of a home and home... which doesn't really make sense... you'd think it would be a neutral site game in fairness to the Argos For example they could play their "home" game against Sask in Winnipeg... and their "home" game against Wpg in Regina... this would also include the added benefit that the Wpg and Sask fans likely would not cheer for their rival giving the Argos something of a home field advantage...

this is an optimistic outlook... maybe we can go in a beat Mtl's second team... winning LD is going to be nearly impossible... just hope we can get the split in the BB.... coming out of this next 3 game stretch at 7-5 is probably the best case scenario

my biggest takeaway from last night is this is just a mediocre team... I have no idea how to fix it and make it a competitor quickly... but right now... we're nowhere near playing in our house for the GC... seconding what @wbbfan said about the list of good plays made by good players... no reason that game should've been anywhere neat close... especially with a replacement level QB leading the comeback...

I know it's way too easy to say this in hindsight... and credit to some here that called it... after the 2023 season was the chance to do a significant re-tool... move on from Zach and roll with Dru... move on from Biggie after his injury in the WF and subsequent reinjury in the GC... start auditioning guys everywhere that wasn't solidified... might've meant some growing pains in 2024... but we had that anyways.... good coaching/management should've had the foresight to start preparing for the 2025 GC a season early

not to mention that game should've been a walk for the Bombers after going up 17-0...

I agree with you... and I don't know the answer to that question... but I think we need to start seeing some changes before the rope should be extended too much...

the identity of our defense used to be "we don't give up big plays"... you can dunk and dunk all game but we'll keep it short and hold you to FGs... now we seem to be giving up big plays regularly...

this is definitely not aging well... Montreal made the tough (but correct) choice in moving on from a GC MVP to go with the younger, higher up-side QB... we had a chance to do that after 2023... and decided to stick with the (potentially) washed up vet... I understood the Dalton vs Kenny gamble in the off-season... but this is also not aging well...

This is most reasonable (and one agree with) "Fire O'Shea" take I've seen on this site... Look at how Dickensen has adapted in Calgary... not saying we need to fire O'Shea now... but he obviously needs to do better

Are there people really clamouring for replacement level players like Fox and Garbutt?? Vaughters and Adams aren't massive improvements... I want better players than what we have now... not slightly worse

Griffin takes a lot of snaps... it's a testament to his abilities that you don't notice him much.... DBs, OL... when you don't notice them, that usually means they're playing great

probably too early to say... but maybe we gotta hope Elgersma ends up being the real (CFL) deal...

I would like to see some of these changes as well... was hoping to have a reasonable discussion about it... I like all your proposed changes but I'd like Allen at S and move Parker to corner... either way, I'd like to see Bridges out... also Griffin for Kramdi can't be necessarily a one for one... would have to have a Canadian DL or LB out there every rep... I also don't think Kramdi is a major problem area... For sake of discussion... When Kelly and Makonzo are healthy, I'd like to see them at 1 and 2 on the S depth and run an all-import DL... Parker could go to corner... could even sub in Shay (who is supposedly pro ready) for some reps on D... And for the love of god, let's just get our offseason additions in the lineup... K Wilson and T Jones have been average to above average... J Jones cannot possibly be a downgrade... Even if Logan and Vaval are both healthy, then we need to try Logan in the role he was brought here for... and let's just get Mitchell in the game... if he seriously is too clueless to play after months of being here, just release him already...

unfortunate situation... but file this under "**** happens"... thankfully the injury wasn't worse...

Edge rusher Warren Peeples is on the Bombers neg list... we're all always saying we need more Peeples and one new Person on the DL...

Mitchell still not making the active roster is concerning... did they not evaluate his skills and abilities at all... or did they assume he would beat out Wheatfall for that spot?? I'm happy Person is finally getting a shot.... hopefully he'll get a bunch of snaps and make an impact... still concerned we haven't seen J Jones yet... seemed like a solid addition and we have refused to use him... Kyrie Wilson is still great when healthy and of course he manages to stay healthy when there are as good (or better) and much younger options on the squad...

Starting?!? 😂 It's a lock!

I know we all hate the riders... but it's ridiculous to suggest Cgy is a better team than Sask right now... maybe that changes by year end... but not today... unless you think the Bombers are the 3rd best team 🤔

I hate to pile on but this comment is just incorrect... Bighill is almost universally loved for his time in Wpg... he's one of the key reasons we broke the drought and won back-to-backs... we just don't want him on the field any more... it's plain to see his best days are long gone... all the best to him in Calgary.... I look forward to when he signs a one-day contract and retires a Bomber so we can properly celebrate him here

I could be thinking of a different one... I'm sure Awe had over the top celebrations on several insignificant plays

was that the one where he celebrated like he had just made a game-winning play... even though Peterson got the first down... and they were down by two scores in the 4th quarter... what a clown... 🤣

it's funny to laugh at how ridiculous his write up is... but it is pretty embarrassing that he is writing this for a national website... which happens to be the official page of the league... if he was writing this on a Saskatchewan site, there would be no issues with his homerism...
