Goalie

Veteran leadership from Willie. bridges absolutely torched. TD.

If bridges had any idea that would have been an easy pick. Yes holm whiffed but bridges standing right there.

lol our dbs are ******* clowns.

Riders having a good start to the season just like last year. They have a good D there tho. We don’t have 8 team sacks probably all year. They got 8 last night.

Outside the Calgary series, we are 3 and 0. Have the season series against BC already. I mean yeah the last 2 weeks are concerning but we’ve seen VA especially start very strong many years and ultimately fail. So maybe losing to Calgary shouldn’t have been a surprise. Perhaps how we lost was but O’Shea ain’t changing things at 3 wins and 2 losses. Ppl always say the season stars around Labour Day. I think I’d rather be peaking later in the year than July tho. Just saying. We actually have the best red zone O in the league. We just don’t get there as often as other teams tho. D problem the last 2 but generally the D is our strength. Certainly was last year. Only difference on D is no BA and no bighill and no ford at corner. Thomas starting isn’t new I don’t think so the D minus BA and AB got this bad? I doubt it cuz they were good the first 2. Didn’t look great against ford and Edmonton tho either.

Elks just can’t seem to figure out what it takes to win. Talk about problems there. Jesus.

I picked against them so bombers will win tonight eventho it’s pretty rare to do that in front of the hundreds of fans in the big smoke. Weird schedule. Bc back to back. Edmonton. Calgary back to back. Toronto back to back. Lots of back to backs still to come.

There is nobody to replace a Jake Thomas or bridges. Have you looked at our PR? Woodbey is a linebacker. Allen plays safety. Ball is a DB who got on. But that’s it. There’s no DT on the PR. There’s an End in the global guy but no DT of any kind. Jon jones is on the “1 game” but they could insert him for Tony but honestly there’s bigger issues on D than Tony. And the depth isn’t there.

Seems like we went from team attitude with guys like big and BA to me me me with Willie now being the only real vet on D outside of Jake who I’m sure is a good veteran leader but he’s prob not Willie Jefferson. Willie has always kinda been a me guy. Dude will celebrate plays down by 20. I dunno. I mean. Looking at the D. It’s Willie Jake and Kyrie and maybe Nichols now who sre the veteran guys. Perhaps keeping the wrong vets is a problem.

It appears we lack the depth in a few areas. Vaval is a db also tho so… I think he’s dressed no matter what. Do we have any others on the PR cuz I think the easiest change is Jake. Or Bridges. But do we have guys to replace them with? The answer appears to be no. That’s on Kyle and the scouts.

Jake is a vet. That would be a significant change. And a starter. So is bridges. Those to me and you aren’t significant I agree but to Osh those are 2 starters. I dunno man. Pinnacle has become complacent also. Believing in people is nice. But wades job isn’t on field it’s sell outs atmosphere and off field related. The PAS is the premier destination in the cfl. That’s all wade there. On field is Kyle and Osh. Wade is basically defacto owner role, I’m not sure the owner sticking his nose in helps. People go off on the cats owner or bc owner more recently for being 2 involved. Now we want our defacto owner to do the same? I dunno. Wade has done his job, sell outs atmosphere etc off field we are the we are the 1’s off field, ain’t nobody in our league off the field related stuff. Not close. Wades done his job and honestly it can only get worse or go down from here. I will say tho I’m not sure if the niche fans of MbB.com who follow it all speak for the others who don’t post here and let’s be honest there’s 33000 ppl at games and 33 posters on here regularly so you do need to keep that in mind. I’m not saying anyone is wrong in suggesting certain players or coaches or gms or presidents could be issues but I also think the majority of bomber fans. The thousands of fans and not just the fans I can count using my fingers and toes, I’m not sure any of this matters to them.

Would be nice to see changes but at 3 wins and 2 losses why anyone would expect any significant changes without injury related scenarios is beyond me. We all know how Osh rolls. Now if they get smoked in the big smoke, I’d expect to see changes but it’s prob not the changes we need. The only way guys like Jake Willie Kyrie Tony bridges coming out is injury. Really that’s the only time O’Shea makes a change. What if… it’s not just O’Shea but it’s also Kyle and Wade. We do however still have a winning record but 3 and 2 after 2 straight losses has got to be concerning to wade and Kyle. I would hope. But there’s the possibility that the mafia has become complacent. Maybe they just don’t really care anymore. 11 years could do that. Kyle and Osh and even wade have accomplished all they could here and it’s been a fun ride, we went from joke of the league to 5 straight cup appearances. I mean sell outs every game. Best atmosphere in the league. Noise levels rival nfl stadiums they say. Perhaps complacency is real. Like what more could they accomplish here? There is nowhere to go but down oh down.

Now it’s IWWT or IOWT.

Als pull it off. Wow. I don’t think god or Jesus like VA talking about them so much. Always gets injured. Maybe gods way of humbling the man. I’m not sure. As a fan hate to see it but it seems inevitable every season that most slash all starters will get hurt and miss time. It’s a problem.

I don’t believe Ted was around back in the 90s when Jake was drafted. 2025 minus 13 = 2012 was when he was drafted 29th overall, the bombers 5th pick of the draft at that point but here’s the thing, the only guy the bombers drafted that year who had himself a cfl career. Tyson pencer was 3rd overall. Joe Mack was GM. Tyson Pencer. Johnny Aprille. Christo Bilukidi. Rene Stephan. Jake Thomas. a trade for Powell would likely involve a draft pick like 3rd 4th 5th rd and prob rights to neg list guy.

Deuce aka the number 2 aka ****. Sounds right i wanted to be negative for negativity’s Sake. No idea who he is.

I can’t fault a guy for using a word that white people invented. I’ve listen to Tupac and biggie. I have prob said the n word while singing not even realizing it. I was also present when my friend got cut off in traffic by a brown dude. If hulks a bad person I guess everyone probably is. Southpark creators must be awful cuz Derka derka mohamad jihad is more offensive than the n word.

Griffin was getting owned just like everyone else the last 2 games. Seems people don’t understand there’s a ratio in the cfl either. Cuz how the **** does he start. Everyone loves the other teams cast offs. Griffin. Cobb. Mitchell who is apparently dumb as rocks.

Why do you constantly want the bombers to get worse.

It’s gotta be Manitoba boy and legend Tom Cochrane. Has to be.

We didn’t know terry bolea. We all knew hulk hogan. I’m not sure they are one and the same.

Regardless of what dude said. He’s a legend. RIP Hulk.

It’s been a long while since we had a guy come to camp and earn himself a starters job immediately. Last guy was Schoen.

But with that being said I am starting to believe there is a disconnect between Walters and O’Shea. Now O’Shea has his flaws, roster management but I think @GCn20is right in saying we lack the talent and that’s not necessarily on O’Shea. That’s on Walters. Guys like Thomas and Korn dress cuz 1. Kyle signed them to contracts. And 2. We lack the Canadian depth. I mean our Canadian depth is so poor ppl think an ex bison and ex elk castoff in Cobb who has done lots of nothing in his career so far should be an option. Our cdn depth is so bad we got ppl yearning for a dude with 18 catches in 29 career games. Crazy. Exact same thing tho can be said for ppl always going off on O’Shea and ignore the lack of talent really which is on the gm and scouts. Honestly. Seems like McManus gets paid to do nothing and Walters seems to do very little once the season begins. Does Walters care anymore? I’m not sure. Perhaps it’s time for new blood in the gm chair sooner rather than later.

Can you name 3 who left for not money? Lawler? Def took the $$$. Hardrick? Took the cash. Ford? $$$. Deslauriers? $$$ and woman. I mean honestly these are really the only impact guys who have left over the years. Others like couture left cuz he’s from BC. I mean. Who exactly did we lose cuz not cash? Garbutt? Fox? I mean you can go back a year and ppl were growing tired of them here. I don’t see any impact players who left for not cash or family related reasons.
