Around the League: 2019 Off Season
IMO, this would be a huge loss for the CFL... there are not many potential up-and-coming super star coaches in the league right now... hopefully he sticks around our league...

Around the League: 2019 Off Season
you're in the thread where we talk about how many threads there should be...

Who do you hate the most (Teams)
sure but that's not the point... you said Calgary has been a failure b/c they have "only" won 3 cups despite a decade and a half of dominance... I'd gladly trade their past 15 years for ours...

Bombers Free Agent List
I'm kind of on the fence with Loffler... at the right price, he's a nice player to have back there... but I definitely don't view him as irreplaceable... I suspect Walters will try to retain him but will have a limit on price...

Grey Cup - predictions
You were almost bang on... but from what I saw BLM was very humble and gave all the praise to his teammates and coaches... I was kind of waiting for him to slip up but he didn't...

Who do you hate the most (Teams)
yeah... I don't think I'd complain if the Bombers has 3 grey cups in the last 11 years...

View from the stands
So many confusing things about this post.... so because we didn't sign Matthews, that means Winnipeg is not actually a desirable destination??... Dressler is the only free agent we've singed in 5 years???

Demand for Compensation
I personally think the "28 years" effects only the fans... I don't any of the players care the we haven;t won the whole thing in a long time (maybe other than Andrew Harris)... all they care about is winning now

Needs for next year
If they can convince him to switch to receiver... that would improve their Canadian depth...
-
Bombers Free Agent List
I think Adam Vinateri and Matt Bryant would tend to agree...
-
View from the stands
from someone who was actually at the game... was Calgary's downfield coverage as good as it seemed?... it just felt like there was never anyone open except for the two overthrows (Adams and Harris)...
-
Needs for next year
I'm not sure how anyone can have anything bad to say about Neufeld after the season he just had... played as well as Bond and played all 18 games... he's a Canadian making (reportedly) around 140k this year... I would guess about 8 other teams in the league would've loved to have had him in their lineup this year... My guess is it's Winnipeg or BC... hopefully Hervey screws it up again this off-season and he comes back here for a couple years...

This Regime
IMO blowing it up now would set this team back... I wouldn't mind seeing some changes in the coaching ranks whether it be coordinators or positional coaches... For me, the only way we replace Mike O'Shea would be if we're bringing in Devone Claybrooks... anyone else would be a poor decision... Kyle Walters needs to do better at the WR position... there's no way to sugar coat that... Calgary loses 3 American starters and still has an all-star core... Hamilton loses 3 starters and and still uncovers a gem like Braylon Addison...

Streveler as our starter in 2019
One year too early...

What is your favorite - - EVER - -Bomber VICTORY over the Riders?
That guy was Odell Willis... so, take that for what it's worth... I suppose it is debatable but he grabs is left shoulder pad and pulls him back.. I believe this was the first year they started to really crack down on horse collars also.. so again, I'm not surprised it was called...

Sign Ideas for Sunday!
GO BOMBERS! ...I'm not very good at this game...

Around the League: 2018 Season
good to see he's got his life back on track... sounds like it was quite a mess when he was here...

Regular Season Bomber News & Discussion
This is so hilariously ironic... only a Rider fan would be stupid enough to make this argument...
-
Regular Season Bomber News & Discussion
I hope the team (or teammates) chips in and pays these fines... the o-line is the heart and soul of this team and sometimes those little extra hits are what makes them intimidating... they don't typically do anything dirty, just a little extra to remind the opponent who they're playing against... And it sure goes against the narrative some were concerned we our more focused on building a team of choir boys... rather than good football players...

What is your favorite - - EVER - -Bomber VICTORY over the Riders?
I remember being at that game live and being livid there was a flag thrown... the assumption was that Marcellus Bowman was being penalized... the horse collar penalty was the right call...
-
Thank you, Marc Trestman
I'm sure GMs don't get too caught up on that stuff... for example, something Walters might be "kicking his own ass over" would be using a first round supplemental on Garrett Waggoner... we wanted a national LB... well if we had kept that first rounder, there was a man by the name of Alex Singleton that would've been available with that pick... he probably regrets that whole sequence of events but I doubt he dwells on it too much...

What is your favorite - - EVER - -Bomber VICTORY over the Riders?
Toronto and Montreal, maybe?... or Hamilton and Toronto... two east teams and one of them definitely wasn't Ottawa!

Around the League: 2018 Season
I'm sure the fact that the media knew about his paycut immediately... was purely coincidence... but hey, if I made $600,000 a year, I could probably live with a 10% cut...

Movin' on to take on the Calgary Stampeders!!!!
sounds like a sweet gig... I'd gladly be paid to go to the games just to stare at the QBs the whole time... but I do worry, as @JCon said, that they will have to throw some flags to justify being there...
