25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
I really like Robestelli's upside. I think he's a gamer and would fit in nicely.

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
MOS and Walters have their warts for sure. Neither is perfect and as others have said have not performed up to the standards the last couple of years which most of us expect. We probably lost 2 of the last 3 Grey Cups because of poor decisions they made. However having been around when we got rid of Murphy and Ritchie because their teams regressed after some excellent years, but were unable to replace them with competence for many years. I for one am glad we had the foresight to resign both and give them another term at the helm.

3 turds plus ch fin des emissions
Kelly had a previous history here as offensive coordinator and did decent. At the time he never exhibited any of the batshit crazy that his head coaching tenor had. Reinbold has never been Head Coach or GM material, he has a pretty good Special Teams resume and that should have been the highest level we hired him for. Two of the biggest mistakes other than promotion of Tim Burke Bombers management have ever made.

Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
I got TSN+ as it is only a little over $8 per month. It has had all the CFL games this year and the only thing you miss out on is the pregame show. I always used to pay the full TSN package for $19 per month but found other than CFL was not watching anything else. Found Plus very affordable and worthwhile. Probably worth looking into if you only want it until the end of the month.

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Whether these changes are going to be good for Canadian football or not will need to be seen. Sometimes you just need to stir things up. The thing that bothers me though is they announced these major changes right in the most important time of the season so all the talk is flowing away from the last 1/4 of the season when all thought should be on playoff possibilities. Would have been a lot more effective to make this announcement in the off season and good or bad would get people talking about the game.

FNF Doubleheader Als @ Argos, Lions @ Stamps GDT
Sure messed up my fantasy team this week as I had him as captain, Rourke apparently was a much better pick.

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
Problem has been at runningback and a soft defense. Arbuckle has performed extremely well last six games and running back situation looks a lot better and defense is starting to get it together. I dont know if if it is a good idea to mess with that. Crazy as it may seem Argos may be the best team in the east right now. If anything I would put Kelly as a back up to be there only if Arbuckle falters.

Bombers at TiCats early chat
Im still optimistic, even after a couple of tough weeks. I think we match up well with the Ticats and a win here is a real good possibility, even without our No 1 QB on a long road trip during a short week.

Spencer Brown

Lions at Argos / Riders at Stamps GDT
They might have a threat with this Spencer Brown RB now though. In less than 3 quarters of play last night he ran for 85 yards and a touchdown. He runs hard and hits the hole faster than McMahon , kept the BC defense off balance when he was in and it shows how it opened up the Argos passing game by giving Arbuckle just that little extra time to let the play develop.

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
I really like Luke Wilsons take and comments on this calling out the CFL for not seeing the opportunity to grow the game by shifting the site to something more local like London. He was censored for this and had to remove all his comments unfortunately. Good article in the Toronto Sun. TSN's Luke Willson rips CFL 'rats' for attempting to silence him, then removes post

Ottawa RedBlacks @ Winnipeg Blue Bombers GDT
Refs get paid , pretty good at this level although not as well as NFL. No excuses for shitty calling, they even have pro backup to get it right!

Ottawa RedBlacks @ Winnipeg Blue Bombers GDT
Boy I really like Allen at safety! This is maybe what this backfield has been missing. So far every play he is around where the ball is thrown.

Bombers-RedBlacks Early Chat
I actually like Wilson as a short yardage QB. He seems to get off faster than Strev and keeps lower, his instincts to move right or left when over the center gets plugged just seems better. Anytime he has been in on short yardage positives have happened. Whether he can run a regular offence is hard to say as he has not had a lot of opportunity. Strev is 2-0 this year when he has started although it has not been pretty. Seems to not have the escapability needed as a run and gun QB like he used to. dont know if his knee surgery is affecting this more than thought or not.
