Last season I thought BA Bighill and Kyrie were cooked. Thomas also. They agreed 2 of 4 were. I’m not sure why they play Jake so much, I don’t get it. Dude needs to recognize he’s done tho. I mean Jesus they cut him a few years ago and since bringing him back, have seemingly sucked him off since yet he’s not good. Nobody would pick him up if we released him. Make the decision there. Bridges and Parker are the others on D along with Kyrie who hasn’t been awful and Tony who also hasn’t been awful but he’s lacking. Try Ayers Jones Kramdi. Griffin. Plus 4 Canadians so 8 LB’s instead of double digits. Get some DL and extra O help on the roster. Mitchell is a guy who might mesh well with zach. Sterns is reliable tho so maybe for Schoen if he’s banged up.

Bo can still throw the ball seemingly with very little effort unlike Zach who appears to not be able to throw the deep ball and appears to put all he’s got in those throws. Lawler is gonna hit 2000 yards
-
At the very least, they need to stop pretending Jake Thomas is prime Doug brown and have the chat with him. Perhaps have the chat with Willie also who seems to do lots of nothing out there. Get the old men some backups at the very least. Stop dressing 13 linebackers. And every time Zach throws a rookie interception, he should be benched as Streveler appears more capable at this point.

I think it’s going to be a loooooooong time if ever before a Canadian team wins a Stanley Cup again. Hope I’m wrong but the business plan and tax advantages are making it seem like the mid 90’s again for teams north of the border.
Not very long ago tho Florida wasn’t drawing anyone. Ehlers is literally the first UFA to voluntarily sign with Carolina. Rantanen wanted out. Guentzel also. Ehlers wanted in but again Carolina like the Jets. Good regular season. Playoffs a struggle still.
Edmonton been there twice in a row. I think Winnipeg Edmonton Vancouver and Calgary have a better shot than the eastern teams tho now. Carolina in east. Florida in east. Tampa in east. Rangers. I mean the list goes on. Trick is for the cdn team to win the finals. Certainly have had a few chances over the years really since the 90s to win but lose in finals every time. West has Vegas. Yup. Vegas. It’s a premier destination. And really that’s about it now. Dallas will be good. Chicago has Bédard. SJ and Anaheim will eventually be good also. East tho.
I have a theory the jets need to break the drought and win the cup for Canada.

Our DL is pretty old and appeared gassed after 4 games. I dunno if it’s not to early at all. If a QB has all day to throw, it’s a problem.
-
Yup. D line has a whole are pretty useless, should be airlifting defensive tackles in cuz Jake ain’t it. Korny ain’t it although he’s not terrible when given the odd chance, Adams is 1 man. Willie does nothing. Vaughters hasn’t done much. Lawson seems to be a tad over rated but our best Canadian d line.
they need to sit Willie a game and cut Vaughters. Tell Jake it’s time. It’s Vader time. Err retirement time. Adams and Lawson are the only 2 worth keeping at this point. If woods isn’t really hurt, him, Adams Lawson person Bailey is a start. Bring in a couple guys. Linebackers. Try Ayers at Wilson spot. Jon Jones in the middle. Kramdi for ratio (it’s a thing) purpose. Holm Nichols Bonds and I’d look at bridges spot also. And I like Parker but maybe Allen is the better safety option.

We went withe the guy coming off of complete knee reconstruction.
Lawler broke 1000 yards once in his career to put this into perspective. Back in 21 and has never played a full season in reality. Schoen has broken over 1000 yards in both seasons he was healthy and played 18 and 16 games. Lawler has 25 TDs in 63 games. Schoen has 27 in 38 or so games. They kept the right guy. Lawler ****** off. I’m sure they offered him a fair contract. I mean the guy hasn’t broken 1000 yards in 4 seasons now. Is almost 300k the going rate for 900 yards? besides aren’t ppl going off on how Zach and his arm is washed. What’s it matter if lawler is here and Zach throwing 60 yard passes 50 yards. Isn’t the problem the QBs inability to actually throw a deep ball ?? You could have 5 Jerry rices or milt stegalls in their primes and im not sure it would matter if the qb was throwing into triple coverage half the time.

Or McDavid. In the end it doesn't matter. Life in the NHL.
Thing is they had the Ehlers vs necas trade agreed upon. I mean sure this is like ppl going on about past grey cups tho. Irrelevant
-
1. DL. Hot garbage. Jake with 2 tackles is the same as Willie and Devin adams and 1 more than Vaughters.
2. DBs. They were owned in the first half.
3. Zach. The pick 6’s are game changers.
4. People who put coaches on here when it’s obvious the coaches were not happy with the effort. Effort is on the players not the coaches.
-
Stats are wild. Jake had the same amount of tackles as Willie and Devin and 1 more than Vaughters. Tony who sucked lead the team with 8 tackles. Stats. Holm had zero
-
DL are old and not good. Tony’s on the bye week already as is bridges and the dbs.

So in the end, from a forward looking lens, we got nada in return for him. Was it the right move by Chevy attempting to make him a Jet for life but ultimately failing and getting nothing in return for his troubles? Again from a forward looking lens did what he do here for the past 6 years trump (sorry) us getting nothing in return in him leaving?
In the end we should have traded for necas.

This off season was like buying a loaf of stale bread. The excuse to not spend money in free agency & blaming the CFLPA looks petty & stupid. They have to be calld out for that.
They are 3 and O tho so not sure why the complaining. Hamilton with all their free agent signings just won their 1st game.
historically bombers free agent signings at receiver don’t work either. Dressler was the last one as I don’t consider lawler really established when we originally signed him. There’s a list of guys we signed as free agents a mile long who ain’t in the league no more. Why do ppl want to overpay players so badly ?? Like in reality lots of those free agents ppl wanted, they weren’t ever signing here.
ceresna? Wife family from the Edmonton area. Lawler? He’s not worth the $$$. Wheatfall has essentially replaced him. McMannis stayed in T dot. I mean. Not everyone wants to be in Winnipeg.
-
What’s going on in Alberta with the elks and stamps attendance. Is it all stadium is crap related ??? Would that actually fix the problems.
stamps have lots of new faces. Eventually that will catch up on them.
bombers historically not great in Calgary tho. Especially in potential rainy weather. It’s plus 32 here so maybe they can quickly get on a plane and reschedule;)
-
He would have been a hurricane last year or the year prior if necas agreed to an extension with us. They were shopping Ehlers then and had a deal with Carolina for Necas who wouldn’t agree to an extension. It’s why Carolina been rumored as the landing spot and in the end.. was.

That hurts cause you have to think the Jets were same amount over 7yrs.
Why would they pay a 60 point player the same as a 90 point player? Do people pay attention? He wanted out. Nothing was keeping him unless you guaranteed him top line minutes and paid him as much as our actual stars. There’s so much bs today like ppl saying he was the best player In the playoffs. Yeah 3 even strength points in 8 games is just rock star. Jesus. Ppl need to stop pretending Ehlers makes a difference for us or for Carolina. He doesn’t. We have 10 seasons of him underperforming when it matters most. Wish him well but stop pretending he’s worth the same price as Scheifele or Helle. Ppl go back to the tying goal against St. Louis and are like without Ehlers, it doesn’t happen. Really ? Cuz what happened 30 seconds prior? Or 15 seconds prior. He flubbed the puck out the zone then flubbed a one timer. 3 even strength points. Also took a dumb penalty. But ya 3 even strength points. If you paid attention it doesn’t hurt at all cuz all the rumors said he wasn’t coming back. He was never coming back. Jets knew it a week ago even. He wanted anonymity and top line minutes.

Apparently he’s gonna do the Marner message to the fans thing. Spare it really tho. Didn’t wanna be here so he can go **** himself.

8.5 to prob be on the 2nd line again. Ehlers with BrindAmour as coach is gonna be interesting. Plays the exact opposite style Rod coaches.
-
Oh for Christ’s sake, you actually think you know more. Yeah. That’s just crazy talk. What has a Bailey or person done to deserve a spot ? Which American do you take out to put in person? Some of you were trumpeting haggerty then oh my god he got released for the 3rd time. If this was hockey lots of these complaints ppl have would be equivalent to the 4th line and 3rd pairing D. Really those guys ain’t making the difference.

I wish Bob all the best. All these great sports broadcasters & writers are leaving us (retiring or dying) with really no one coming up behind. It's sad.
We really should... PAY THE MAN!!! We'll never find his goal scoring anywhere now.
He doesn’t want to be here.

Bombers don’t seem to put as much emphasis on the d line like some fans perhaps hope for but the D is prob ranked 1 or 2 in most categories minus sacks but sacks seems to be down league wide, QBs are getting rid of the ball quicker. So is the D and who they dress or don’t dress really a problem or just a few folks would prefer more emphasis on sacks I suppose. Cuz our D is pretty good regardless of who plays.
the O tho. Yeah. Without Brady our O is 1 dimensional and crappy. Him being back should help tremendously

Apparently he wanted to be closer to his sister in Florida and wanted to be able to go out in public without being recognized as much. Also he’s from Denmark. Left to play in Halifax as a teen. Then to Winnipeg. He wanted warmer weather. I’d be surprised if he’s not starting the season with Aho and Jarvis on line 1. But at this point. Who cares. He’s a jerk now.
Did boeser even get to free agency??
