    Looks like out bye weeks are: 

    Week 2

    Week 7

    And Week 17

    I hate that there are 3 bye weeks. I'd rather the league go back to 2 and move the Grey Cup up a week. I know it's in the name of player safety, but a longer season also means the players have 1 week less of off-season in order to make $ ( if they have an off-season job).

    I don't think anyone hates Nichols (me included) but most of us are ready to move on. If he were to come back I don't think people would think it's the end of the world... 

    Yeah, the truth is QB's don't often stick with one team for more than a couple of contracts. When was the last time we had a QB in Winnipeg for even 5 years?

    (Okay, I looked. It was Khari Jones!)

    They shud try to make a decision on the QB situation asap. Once they determine which QB(s) isn't in their plans the Bombers can look at trading their rights for a conditional draft pick.

     

    It's possible, but with 4 or 5 QB's going on the free agent market (Collaros, Nichols, Streveler, Arbuckle, Masoli), teams will likely wait till free agency rather than sending the Bombers a pick.

    Did You Know..       
     

    (according to David William Naylor)

    The Baltimore Ravens have the NFL’s best record, first in rushing,  and 26th in passing stats.

    Sound familiar?

    The Winnipeg Blue Bombers won the Grey Cup while being first in rushing and last in passing.

     

    But, but, but...passing stats are the only thing that matters...or so I've been told.

    The "F'n Canadians" are BACK!
     

     

    Now that  I think back to what Dickenson said, if he had been a Canadian and had said something like that about another group living in Canada he likely would have been disciplined, if not fired (considering what's been going on with coaches lately). Hmmm. Just thought I'd mention this...now carry on with O Shea and Walter's...

  8. How About that Other Worldly Play-Off Defense?

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Sorry to be negative but of course this year's defense is better than Swaggerville just because we finished very strong and that defense started very strong (in the season). 

    A better question might be "Where does this defense rank among some of the all time great defenses in Bomber history?" My vote ( and I've only followed the Bombers since '72) would probably go to those defenses in the 80's to early 90's. In 88 we had the lowest scoring offense, but our defense allowed the fewest points in the league.

    Having said that, this year's defensive line allowed the 2nd fewest rushing yards in league history (per game).

    This probably puts an end to the idea of re-signing zach. Keeping the first round could be crucial now considering there are a couple defensive ends that should be available in the first round.

    I'm sure Walter's is not thinking, "Oh, I can't re-sign Collaros, I'll lose that pick!" If the Bombers decide he is their best option for 2020, they WILL offer him a contract.

    My off-season QB wish list for the Bombers would be:

    1. Arbuckle & Streveler

    2. Collaros & Streveler (I only put Collaros at #2 because Arbuckle doesn't have the injury history, is younger, and may come cheaper than Collaros, allowing us $ to re-sign Streveler, however I would be very happy if they re-signed Collaros).

    3. Masoli & Streveler

    4. Nichols & Streveler 

    5. Streveler & McGuire (Yes, I know we already have McGuire under contract, but with Streveler being #1, he would act as a close #2).

    But seriously I think we need to take a good hard look at re-signing Zach. He seems like a good fit. He’s a much better quarterback than Matt Nichols and with Streveler coming in a lot and a great offensive line and running game Winnipeg might be the only team that can keep Zach healthy. 
     

    If we don’t bring back Zach I think we need to go after Arbuckle.  I just don’t see the upside to Matt Nichols who has all the injury concerns you would get with Zach but without the top end ability that he has. 

    Agreed ×2!!

    On a positive note, I will say that me and a buddy had a great experience  at the game. The Rider fans were, as a whole, very respectful. A few reminded us of our Grey Cup drought - and we reminded them they only have 4 cups in 100 years. Only 1 rider fan was a complete jerk and pushed people to the side as he went to the front of the bathroom line - then proceeded to curse out an older Bomber fan who had done nothing. If I had seen the guy coming up in the line, I would have laid a body check his way (but its probably  best not to get into a fight.)

    Anyways, lots of Rider fans congratulated us on the victory and wished us luck after the game, so kudos  to them!
