brett_c_b got a reaction from Blueandgold in Posters: Whats different this young season?
I've lived in a city with the Edmonton Oilers since 2009, and am a Bombers fan, I'm not familiar with what playoffs are.

brett_c_b got a reaction from The Classic in Crazy thoughts from a desperate and disillusioned Bomber fan ...
As someone who is only in his early 30's, I have no real memories of the bombers being a dominant, or even consistently good team. Sure we had a brief glimpse of success in the days of Jones and Stegall. Losing games and looking terrible on offense is just my expectation. So the good of this is I get over the losses pretty quickly, as they're expected. The bad being even if we win a couple games it will be hard to enjoy as I'll know the wheels are still going to fall off after another few games.
I didn't grow up watching or playing football, wasn't an option to play in a small town. In my teens the likes of Stegall and Brown got me interested and started watching. Then i hit my 20's. The bombers didn't win a labor day game in my 20's. Loss after loss after loss. Every year we bring in new players, every year people are optimistic for the new players. Every year regardless of what coaches/players/Gm we bring in, the team plays like the Bombers, which is a painful experience.

Then why ask if he had a fight with Dickenson? And how is it strange that an unemployed coach takes a new job?

he must have more faith in a Lapo offense than some of us if he thinks he's going to be making shorter kicks than 45 yards.

I might start buying merch again this year. It has nothing to do with management. It's the first year in a few that I might be able to wear some of it. The bombers don't really sell fat guy sizing. Down 100lbs this CFL off season (technically 98.5 as of this morning, but i'm going with 100), I may be able to get into some bomber gear again. (the secret is bacon, i have spent 0 time in the gym)

i feel the same about both of them. For what it's worth I've been in Edmonton 7.5 years now. I own 0 pieces of Eskimos gear. Last year as bad as the team was I went to Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa to watch them play. This year the Vancouver bombers trip will be on again, not sure about others.

you think we're going to let you back on the bandwagon though? You disowned the team and went to the esks so pardon my bluntness, but **** you, you're not a Bomber fan anymore.

pre-season, backups get some opportunity. The starters will make the threads in regular season as you watch from the couch
