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)

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

I'd be skeptical that the average fan cares too much about who the GM is. Every fan cares about winning/losing, the minority, such as the types who go on forums, care about other the behind the scenes stuff.  If merch is down significantly, I'd be surprised if that many people didn't buy merch because of who the GM is.

Time to move on people... the guy isn't coming back to the Blue.
I'd much rather we have a 3 page thread on Khalil Bass who is an awesome player and a guy who loves the city and its fans!

In a league where after 3 years a guy can leave why sour the relationship early. No other league would a guy drafted first overall get a minimum offer.

Please do not say "he bled blue and gold". Milt Stegall, Doug Brown, Rod Hill, Tyrone Jones, etc are guys who "bled blue and gold". 
Yes he played very hard for us every down. He was also quite aware his play would influence his NFL aspirations. 
Muamba is a great player but other stars stayed committed to the Bombers through some really lean years. Yes I get there was money to be had, but Henoc's quick jump to Montreal is not consistent with bleeding blue and gold.
 
 
 

Our field is 5 yards longer. With NFL goal posts currently 10 yards deeper than ours in the NFL you have to move the ball 5 yards further than in the CFL to have the same length kick (assuming you started on your own half of the field)
If we put the goalposts at the back of our end zone, to have the same length kick you now have to move the ball 15 yards further than in the NFL.  
So if you start around your own 25, and figure you need a 45 yard kick to be in reasonable field goal range, you need to move the ball 47 yards. 
With your proposal to get into field goal range you'd have to gain 67 yards of offense to get into field goal range. As well if your range is 45 yards you'd have to get to the 18 yard line before you'd kick a field goal. Do you really only want to see field goals attempted from inside the 20? I can't imagine why you'd want that change.

pretty much. When most seasons bombers kickers seem unable to consistently hit any kick over 30 yards, even from the 20 yard line you'd be looking at a 47 yard kick. You'd basically take field goals out of the game.  You'd also take out returns from missed field goals which is one of the more exciting plays in the CFL, and make every missed field goal almost an automatic rouge since if the guy didn't have the leg to make the back of the end zone they wouldn't try the kick.  The CFL rules and end zone size make it necessary to have the uprights at the goal line.

I just think it's so much easier when you have a right and lefty on every pair. All you got to do is look at L.A." -- Mike Babcock
Not sure whose opinion carries more weight.......

Typically who would make the decision not to hire position coaches, the head coach or the coordinator? ST coordinator I can understand being an O'Shea call, but with not hiring a receivers coach, would that decision be an O'Shea decision or a Lapo decision? I could see O'Shea having to approve it, but just curious if Lapo may have pitched the idea.T
The only reason I wonder is that as HC Lapo was accused of basically micromanaging and interfering with the offense, is not hiring a receivers coach potentially the same sort of control issues coming to the surface?
Not saying it's a bad idea, but I've also never hidden my dislike of Lapo as a coach. I Hope I'm wrong on all accounts and we have a decent offense for once.
 
 

How do you bold part of a post, and yet still not understand it?

If you go to Ottawa go a couple hours before the game and get a bite to eat near the stadium. I went to the bomber game there last season, lots going on before the game right outside the stadium, but the restaurants were very busy. The fans were great too, had a really good time there, and the stadium is nice.  BC Place is the nicest stadium I've been to, but the crowd was terrible.

I was with you until Lapolice, then I was sad.
