Goalie

People underrating holm. He’d fit in with what Pittsburgh does quite well. Personally I think he’s our best option at safety.

With a win we are 31st in the league and is it 6 or 8 points out of the playoffs lol. That’s ridiculous in itself. Only a few points back of the wildcard teams. I don’t think we can compete with Dallas Colorado or Minnesota anymore. We need a franchise changer to do it.

I’ll say this. Colorado wasn’t awful then they were one year and won MacKinnon. McKenna and any of the top 3 4 5 talent this draft improves our team instantly. There’s the silver lining. McKenna would be franchise changing. id like to see us move on from Pearson Nyquist schenn miller and even Toews but I’m not sure what we getting in return for any of them. I mean. None are returning 1sts id move them for what I can get, maybe Nino and names available also but ya bring up the kids and maybe make a trade involving lambert for a nhl forward if possible lambert has sucked tho

I just don’t get the logic. Marchand Stone Horvat and Wilson is just insane. I remember when we took the best players and dominated. Now they building lines and having roles for lesser talented slow players. 55 and Bédard not making it is just it’s stupidity. Point makes some sense. Cirelli don’t.

If 1 bad year means fans give up on the team then we don’t deserve a team here.

I’d agree with this. Wilson and 40 year old Marchand makes no sense. Bedard not on the team doesn’t make sense either. Horvat over Scheifele is also mind numbing Josh was guaranteed to make it. He was at the 4 nations and everything. He made the team. That was obvious. Scheifele not making it is bullshit.

They played well enough to win but Winnipeg born goalies have the games of their careers against the jets in Winnipeg. It’s just a thing. Pickard was like 4.5 goals against per game. Dude stood on his head.

Yeah. That was a wild game. Kelly had his moments

Seems like Jake was in the video room lots. He put in time. He wasn’t great as a player but that probably doesn’t matter. Wade was a Jake back in his day lol, kinda different situations cuz Wade has a successful business career but similar really cuz both weren’t great players. Dinwiddie wasn’t good. Buck wasnt the best but not the worst. Osh was a good Canadian player, Mike miller our sp teams guy, he wasn’t an all star. I mean. I don’t want to go through teams in the cfl and look but guaranteed half the positional coaches were just dudes who played a few seasons or not even. They just played high school some of them. College. I mean. Who cares really. It’s pretty common for Former players to become coaches. And besides Jake isn’t gonna make Willie less lazy or any of that. He’s not the DC ffs. But I’m hoping our DL has a great year regardless. In reality shouldn’t be hard for Jake and crew to improve on 10 sacks all year really. Our DL sucked last year. I mean nowhere to go but up for them. And despite the narrative for a dude who played 13 years all in blue n gold, it wasn’t just him. And there’s some comedy in ppl on the internet sites thinking they know more than dude who played for 13 years in the pros plus school and prior years of actually playing football but yeah. Happy new year. If there’s a so called plethora of good Canadian dl coaches in the u sports then why don’t teams hire them. Hmm. And we out.

Yes. SJ and Chicago 100 percent and buffalo in the McDavid draft 100 percent tanked but it was easy for them as they didn’t have a 40 goal scoring winger. A ppg center and a legit mvp goaltender. Players won’t “tank” but management and coaches can do things to help the team lose tho. If I didn’t know any better I’d think Arniel and Chevy are kind of tanking this season as they are not playing the 12 best forwards or 6 best d every game. Also Arniel constantly says he likes Toews game. I mean either Toews needs coddling or Arniel is delusional

Darnold will never win the big game tho. He’s a great regular season guy tho. that nfc north is the division of death tho.

Yup. MARY CHRISTmas

Bombers toque and $$$$$$ and an essential oils mist thing. So nice.

Wilson pretty much done confirmed. Only QB back from last year will be Zach and Artopoeous. I do wonder if Streveler is added as a coach tho. Right now it’s Zach and 3 guys with zero cfl actual game experience. Only way they throw a ball is if Zach is hurt tho.

Buffalo tanked. Chicago tanked. Sharks tanked the last few years. Those are teams who pretty much admitted it. Nobody is gonna say tank tho.

Last year they won the presidents trophy. He’s prob as surprised as Chevy and Arniel. They shouldn’t be this bad.

They won’t rebuild. Not with 55 81 37 all signed long term. They will retool and if that means tanking this season I think that’s ok. McKenna is a franchise player. SJ pretty much. Sharks. Buffalo also tried tanking for McDavid as rumors were he wanted to go to there or preferred it but Edmonton won the draft.

A bar is a bar in Winnipeg and Toronto. Same **** really. You know what they also have more of? Meth heads. So I guess you’d be sitting in your hotel huh.

But it’s a fact. He played pro football for 13 years. Dude volunteers at the Siloam mission, you are afraid of Disraeli. I mean really. He worked his way up the PA also, is respected by every player he lined up beside and every player he lined up against. Below average player? Sure but so were tons of guys who went on to become great coaches. Don’t we have a statue outside PAS of one of those dudes. I’m not saying Jake is shedeur sanders and gonna be legendary but sounds like being a coach takes a certain mindset that Jake apparently has.

Yup and they are all professionals so hopefully they can be professional. If not has potential to blow up but I don’t think it will come to that. other interesting things. Jackson to be determined and regardless of that they want to add one more coach.

So wonder how much all these guys we signed early would maybe have some of next seasons “cash” on this years cap. I mean even if it’s 50k per dude that’s a nice savings. I don’t think we don’t sign FAs cuz we pay 3 guys big money like every other team does really, I think Kyle has a number he won’t go over for certain positions. I mean our QB. MOP Canadian RB and all star Canadian receiver get paid. I mean, it’s not like we giving 325 to an American receiver are we. Nope. BC is. I don’t see the problem paying your stars money. That’s how sports is. but curious which talented players won’t be back cuz of cap issues? lol like name 2 from last year even? Still going on about lawler I guess but he’s paid 300k also so man some of these posts are wild. @Bigblue204 is right. Up is left. Down is up. Backwards is sideways on here right now.

The DL coach was Patterson last year. He either retired or was forced to retire. Jake is now the DL coach. To me, Jake as DL coach is like Mike miller becoming a coach immediately afterwards also and last year he was our best coordinator in my opinion so there’s some hope there. Sounds like Jake is well liked and respected throughout the league, regardless of talent or lack off, he was a fine rotational piece tho but regardless of that 13 years of pro football = wealth of knowledge. Just cuz Jake wasn’t athletic enough doesn’t mean he doesn’t know things. I think he’s gonna turn out to be a very good coach for us. I get that feeling. Hogan? After listening to the O’Shea audio, I feel like he’s back because someone else was supposed to be OC but said no so they hired in house and O’Shea feels bad he set hogan up to fail. “First and foremost, it starts with me and making sure I’m holding everybody accountable to a higher standard. We just didn’t play up to our standard last year, especially on offence. It’s pretty easy to say that.” “There were certain things that were out of character for us last year that we need to come in this year and fix. I don’t think that, as you alluded to, making a change or a couple changes doesn’t fix everything. Everybody’s got to come in with a commitment to getting back to playing football the right way, playing good football and resetting the culture and that starts with me.” -Mike O’Shea The audio is interesting. Osh taking accountability for sure. If ppl haven’t listened they should and while you get the jets Chevy talk with Osh a bit, he definitely takes the blame and heat for everything last year. No specifics cuz resetting the culture means keeping things in house but I’m not sure I’ve heard a more humble O’Shea than I did in that audio.

Guy is more respected than you are.

They just don’t go over enough to lose draft picks. The salary cap stuff is wild tho cuz nobody on here really has a clue about it. We don’t telly know how much is promo money and other money anymore. Things have changed. Unlimited promo money now really. Bombers making big money. They ain’t saving it all.

He won’t tho since the other owner of the jets is the richest owner in the nhl. Chipman and Thompson are committed to Winnipeg and the downtown hence all the upcoming developments around the area. I mean really.
