What's the over/under on how long Ehlers lasts with Burmi and Thorburn.
-
Weren't we supposed to have the Grey Cup originally last year but something to do with the timing of the stadium not being done made it difficult for us to actually get the game? Think BC stepped up cuz basically they weren't convinced IGF would be ready for it yet... Thought it had something to do with that.

I found some footage of other teams using MB's schemes!
Goalie replied to IC Khari's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yeah, probably is time to move on but... Won? How did any of us win here? we all want the team to do well, firing an OC means the team isn't good. There's no winning here at all, none. Still tho, think the best MB Scheme I've seen is the Simpsons one where Homers the coach and he's making his plays from the little football game.. K, Nelson, you go backwards, the rest of you run around in circles and then fall down... Pretty much. -
If/When the Jets lose tonight, can you imagine the boo's? Heads are gonna roll is they lose tonight and play like crap.. Maurice needs to stop messing with the lines.... Stafford has played like crap so what does he go? bump him up to the 2nd line, Ehlers has been good, creates a play every game so what's he do? Puts him with 2 guys who are gonna drag him down.. It's mind boggling stuff really at times... That roster is just god awful roster management. It really is.

Possibly. Canucks have as many ROW's as Edmonton so the Jets, if on their game should probably stomp them. Regulation/Overtime Wins aka non shootout wins. Not sure i like the roster decisions tho going by what i've seen on the twitter machine Ladd,Little,Wheeler <-- that's Maurice relying too much on the vets Perreault,Scheif,Stafford <--- really you demote Ehlers? Brutal Check this out... brutal Ehlers,Burmi,Thorburn <--- WTF really Lowry,Copp,Thorburn <--- Maurices BF lowry bumped to the 4th line.

I have no problems with the out of towners on this site, however, i do find it kind of funny that they try to convince people who do live in Winnipeg that the bomber crowds are older. Man, open your eyes, even if you aren't at the game, look at the TV when they show the crowd, it's 90 percent people 40 and under, hell, 30 and under, 25 and under even... The Bombers have no issues at all drawing the younger people out to games... AT ALL. I guess maybe go to a few games and you will see. IGF is full of younger people. Every game I've ever been 2 ,way more people closer to my age than to my dads age... and it's not even close. It really isn't close at all... and just for the record, I'm a younger person, I don't go to games to socialize and get **** faced. I go to watch the game.

Doesn't hurt that Harris is also a Winnipeger. Not saying that's the reason you go after him, but it doesn't hurt at all. There's some strong marketing opportunities there with Harris for sure. He's also not that bad of a back, had over 1000 yards this year, is a good receiving running back too, helps the ratio, lots of pluses to going out and signing Harris... I've always heard rumors that he's wanted to play for the Bombers, that his heart is here in Winnipeg. Perhaps it's true. Say what you will but signing Harris definitely improves our Canadian content significantly.. He helps the ratio.. maybe no need for Bucknor or Hurl? Maybe you can go Wild at MLB,Bass at the other spot.... Frees up a Canadian spot elsewhere. I guess, perhaps the only downside is if he gets hurt, it messed up the ratio a bit but... I'd be ok with a Harris,Marshall type of combo. Too bad Coombs isn't a free agent too, Not saying i feel this way but a small part of me does, it would be nice to have some local talent on the team.

That's what he's saying and i agree, Ladd is way easier to replace than Buff. However you have to look at it a little differently, are the Jets with Ladd,Buff,Toby etc, are they ever gonna be more than just a playoff bubble team? Will they ever realistically end up winning the stanley cup? If you are looking at it realistically, the answer is probably no. TUP said it before I think and I agreed, If the Jets win the cup, it will be Scheif or someone handing the cup off to Trouba or Ehlers... It won't be Ladd handing it off to Buff or whoever... It just won't happen. What the Jets should have done and it's easy to say this now but they should have went full rebuild when the team first got here, Trade guys like Buff,Toby,Ladd etc for futures or young players with potential.. Perhaps they are thinking of doing that now? One good season last year does not make anyone forget about the 3 or 4 maybe 5 if you count the Atlanta year(s) where this team with this core just wasn't good enough. Will they ever be good enough? It's a tough situation, is being average in the Central division good enough? It's not, you need to be way better than average... Jets are a game below .500 right now, the teams in front of them.. not even close to being even close to .500. Eventually, you have to move on from your older core and build the team around the younger guys like Scheif,Ehlers,Lowry, Trouba,Myers maybe... That's the future.. you can keep guys like Little and Wheeler around as i think they will age nicely, they also are on good contracts... But perhaps it is time for a semi rebuild of sorts.
-
He was injured I believe
-
Copp did too.
-
I've been to 3 games so far. He looked good for a guy playing his first real year of pro. The lack of forward depth hurts the moose. The D is pretty decent
-
Randle isn't a free agent
-
Perreault career high is like 18 or something
-
Every trade you propose is ridiculous and would never happen.
-
Point totals don't tell the story. He's playing fine. You went to 1 game.
-
Jets get screwed here. We are adding a first why. Toby plus Burmi probably gets close to that. Ladd re-signed gets more
-
One season we barely got in and a few where it wasn't close
-
He's also the guy on the team getting paid the most and is probably 2 small 4 the west. Might get a good return. Call it a mini rebuild since with the current core they are a .500 team. I'm down with a rebuild
-
Sure, why not. Whatever. WWE Network and Wrestlemania
Goalie replied to Goalie's topic in General Discussion
Think you are in the minority about the Wyatts. Need more stables not less -
Damn that didn't work well... Ladd Little Wheeler ?? Scheif Ehlers Perreault Lowry Stafford Who knows who is being shopped tho... Ladd? Buff? Burmi? Stafford even? Hard to say Apparently Enstrom is bring shopped. Interesting to see that. Gotta wonder if there are multiple trades being worked on. Enstrom for top 6 Buff or Ladd and Burmi for D man
-
That core seems to be about 20000 or so people. If our stadium seated 24000 like Ottawa or Hamilton would ppl be talking about this ??
-
Buff Burmi to Philly for Schenn Sanheim or Provorov and a 1st. I'd make that deal. I'd even take a cap dump like Luke Schenn to make it happen
-
Buff Burmi probably being shopped. Maybe Ladd too. Let the B Schenn to Winnipeg speculation begin
-
As for free agents... Andrew Harris made some interesting comment about needing to find out where his heart is.... perhaps it's in Winnipeg. That would be awesome and also help out our Canadian ratio
-
I'd suspect banned for talking crap about the mods here. Saw him on TEP also. Saw him posting Penton's article about OC's and actually taking credit like he wrote it. Dude has snapped. Gone cwazy
