Too many big plays surrendered to be suggesting our D is playing good
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...

In the end Walters traded Dru and In the end Walters didn’t pay Kenny. And in the end, Kyle will be a gm out east.
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...

Head coaches pick their staff that's kind of the whole deal.
I've said it before, osh deserves a statue outside the stadium, but it's looking like his ideas are old and stale and if he doesn't adapt then serious questions need to be asked about his future.
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 has shown he is a baller in this secondary. I dont recall seeing much of him lately. Im not sure why J.Jones was signed not to start.
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

Some changes would be nice for example, a db like Allen in for Bridges or J.Jones in for T.Jones. Perhaps Griffin for Kramdi. Mitchell for Case. I expect no changes however.
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...

Argos OL Ryan Hunter was riding a scooter on the first day back after bye week and was hit by a car. Out at least 6-8 weeks... What in the actual ****?
unfortunate situation... but file this under "**** happens"... thankfully the injury wasn't worse...

For those that are interested, there is a Bot on Bluesky that keeps track of changes to teams' neg lists.
It shows that Paige was removed from the Bombers' list 15 minutes ago.
https://bsky.app/profile/cfl-neg-list.bsky.social
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...

Finally back from an extended trip down way down south (Brazil) and back in good ol Canada - and finally able to catch up on things. And I agree the game with the Stamps will be a tough win for us IMHO. What really concerns me is the quality of our DL. I am starting to think both Jake and Willy may be past their "best before dates". But all in all great to be back in Canada and really happy to be able to watch some CFL games and get back in swing of things Bomberwise!!!!
Starting?!? 😂

3 keys for me.
Come out ready to play, this is the made-up bowl game for Calgary, but they are really the 2nd-best team in the west right now, and I think they will be in 2nd at the end of the year. Can't sleep on them.
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 🤔

1 hour ago, Bomber_fanaddict said:
He had 48 tackles and was on pace for over 80 and 2 sacks prior to injury. That would have put him as his second best year with the Bombers. He is also fully recovered and has been for months. I see and talk to him pretty regularly. Not sure why so many people have a hate on for him lol. Dude has a ton of heart and grit which goes a long way in the locker room.
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 think Peterson only got 7 yards on that one on a 1st and 20 after a holding call.
I could be thinking of a different one... I'm sure Awe had over the top celebrations on several insignificant plays

crunch of the game. Bridges on the BC receiver. That was nice. Awe on Peterson was big also. I love players who celebrate when losing lol.
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... 🤣

Nye is a hack. They need to hire somebody else. Pretty sure there is a 2nd grader somewhere who could fill his shoes.
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...

Weekly Predictor: Who wins on WestJet Canada Day Weekend? - CFL.ca
Never change Jamie Nye, never change. Actually go take a long walk off a short pier.
Quick recap... he starts by saying the Bombers D has started the season great against a BC team without Rourke... I guess he forgot the blowout in week two... the proceeds to say the Elks suck at everything and Bombers are good at everything... so naturally, his pick is the Elks 😂

He's at the very least a fresh take on the CFL. Which is nice. I've never really liked his NFL stuff he did with TSN. I am kinda liking the fan ranking thing on X. Assuming he's full on trolling and not being serious.
Last week he went on a rant about the "Worst penalty in CFL history" during the MTL vs TO game. And it was pretty obvious he hadn't watch the CFL very much cause, well it was the correct call and even if they had messed it up, there have been far far worse called lol.was it last season?... I believe Ham vs Mtl... Hamilton player clearly fumbles the ball... without a shadow of a doubt... somehow the runner is called down and confirmed via replay... that's probably the worst call I've ever seen in the CFL

Anyone know further details on Rourke?
On 2025-06-16 at 4:58 PM, 17to85 said:He sucks
I kinda love the juxtaposition of Rourke being a really good QB (CFL needs good young QBs right now)... but also getting his ass kicked by the Bombers every time they play.

I still wouldn’t give Lawler the money Hamilton did. While he’s performed well, and sterns/mitchell/white haven’t worked out, wheatfall/schoen/demski is a very good core.
If any thing, I’d a still tried to spend that money on ol/dl.
Lawlers character faults aren’t toxic or horrible. But they are a lot for price, and not going away.
We are already spending too much on the wr core. And we need youth.
Also, schoen vs lawler, I take schoen every day of the week. Even dollar for dollar.
a little pre-mature to say Sterns and Mitchell haven't worked out... it's only been one game... I don't know what Mitchell's deal is but maybe when he finally does get into a game, he looks great and never loses his spot

I was of the mind of 'what the hell are we doing trading for this kid Peterson' at the time....After seeing his performance last night I can see what we liked about him....great performance...I thought once Brady went down that our running game would come to a grinding halt....not so...the little guy put in quite a performance......Thought our defensive line played great ....our hogs looked really good as well.....Room for improvement for sure BUT I don't think anyone left the stadium disappointed
I actually thought he was kind of just a throw in because we really liked the global DE... turns out we may have got the two best players in that deal
39 minutes ago, bigg jay said:Bit of hyperbole there - nobody was saying it was the end of the world, just expressing their displeasure with the line-up. The coaches may have been right but they were also fortunate. They rolled the dice & fielded a team that was very thin in certain positions (DL, WR) but luckily they made it through with no injuries at those spots.
I would agree with you... even the most ardent of complainers (you know who you are) weren't saying "this team sucks, we're going to lose"... but rather "a few tweaks could make this roster even better"

There's so many players that had a great night last night... it's hard to single out just three... there are three guys I want to mention, maybe not necessarily as the "top 3" stars, but just guys I think deserve a shoutout...
1- Kennall Randolph (I'd like to start the petition to call him Kenny Randy) - Thank you for your service Mr Lofton, but you are no longer required... we still love the years Yoshi gave us but he's dead to us in green... Randolph is the future and current starting tackle of this team... whether he remains on the right or takes over for Big Stan on the left
2 - Mike Ayers - He just makes plays... I'll admit Kyrie Wilson played well last night... but I hate that it's at the expense of Ayers... he should be an every down defensive player
3 - Keric Wheatfall - I don't like to anoint anyone too early... but it's looking like we really have something in this guy... could be a stud for years to come....
A million other players also played great last night... Strev, Peterson, The entire Oline, Demski, Jones, Kramdi, Vaval, Holm

This is where familiarity bias is stepping in. BC dressed an American fullback who played zero snaps literally last week.
so you're saying it's a Buck thing? 😁
Also, looking at the depth chart, they listed Cdn Riley Picket at FB and American Zander Horvath as the back up RB... being that he's listed at 6'3, 230... he could be confused as a FB

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...
