You're seeing something that I did not.

See? You feel it too.

I'm assuming the sexual imagery I'm getting from this post just indicates how excited I am for the beat down.

I'd agree with this if he didn't always manage his teams the same way.

No way it's happened in the modern era.

I also heard Lawler wasn't expected to be gone the full 4 weeks, lol. So much for that.

New staff, they should at least get the year. So I guess it depends on how confident we are that Masoli ever comes back.

I think he's the missing release valve we need when teams pressure us like the Lions did. Hopefully if the Als try and do the same thing, we can make them pay early.

Nah, total diva. Forced his way off of three different teams in his young career already.

Two guys making their first start. Pick defense if you play fantasy, lol.

I've been posting at both for years. It's just more Bomber talk.

Is it possible you've made an account here in the past under that handle?

He may be in Lawler's spot, but he's not playing the same role. He's getting a limited number of snaps as the first receiver to be rotated out in bigger packages. He's been hit for big plays when we need them, which is exactly what he's probably being asked to do. He is not playing the Lawler role where he's going to get looked at fist 12 times/game.

The Trade Thread
Are you misunderstanding my use of the word promise? Does potential work better? We traded Laine and Roslovic for him. We've been trying to get him signed to a long-term contract this entire time. He was obviously meant to be a franchise player.

Traded for him, geez.

There's no question he's a giant cuck, but that was the promise when we drafted him and the hope that LA still has for him. @GCn20 is right though, we did come away with a lot more depth than we previously had which was a huge issue for us. We still need more pieces to make a patchwork top-6, but if we can finally get some buy-in from players and roll all 4 lines, we could become a more balanced team that scores throughout the line-up.

A lot of us have been there for nearly 20 years. If it goes back up, that’s where we’ll be. I’d personally advocate for more spaces to talk Bombers and CFL, not less.

1. Before putting Nichols in, MOS was absolutely on the hot seat. You can have faith in a person, but at a certain point, a change would have had to have been made. Thankfully, we never got to that point. 2. Everyone here believes we have the best roster in the league (at least, over the past 3-4 seasons). That does not mean every decision that has been made is the right one. Criticism is allowed and, at times, justified. No coach is perfect and MOS’ game day roster decisions happen to be his weak spot.

Absolutely agree.

Just like Thomas didn't make the team for making one sack, Pigrome didn't lose his spot because of one failed sneak. Definitely more to it.
-

MOS said in his media availability something along the lines of Prukop accepting new role, making it his whole job, preparing for it, etc, etc. I wonder if the flip side of that comment is that Pigrome wasn't making the role his job in that same way.

Blue Bombers - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
I don't know if I accept those answers. We watch a few snaps of a preseason game and "declare" certain guys are better then guys the coaching staff has seen for a couple years? I wasn't as impressed with Salima as some of you, certainly not enough to say he's better than McCrae when they're two different types of runner. Mohammad has been here a week, it's still possible he get in once he gets his feet wet. I have no problems with him needing to prove himself in the room before he gets on the field. I have a problem with the team's roster management, no question. But when we find better players, they get on the field. But it can't just be one flashy play in a preseason game like a sack or big run, it needs to be how they play every snap. Everyone loves to tout FIFO as our teams success, but this part of how it works too.

At this point I’d be surprised if the Jets do anything else. They don’t make moves they’re not forced into. Theyll try to be competitive next season and see if they can convince Helle and Scheif to stay.

It does improve the depth though. I wouldn't mind a more balanced line-up. But yeah, with Scheifele's future also in flux, we do not have anything down the middle.
