I don't mind rewarding a guy like Thompkins/Washington for sitting on the PR all year making squat with some game time cheques. That's just who Walters/MOS are, they are straight up guys. Maybe they could be a little more cut throat but I don't think they want the organization to be seen in that light. I don't care about perception. I want to win.

Me too but it's not like we completely suck, we're right in the mix despite losing 4 in a row and starting to play our best ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 3 minutes ago, SpeedFlex27 said: Two players, Gurley & Stafford in 6 seasons. Stafford was off-season. If you're talking free agents they've probably relied on that way too much and have stunk at bringing in impact imports throughout the roster.

Winning means a championship. I'll say this about Cal Murphy. He had a reputation of being crotchety & cheap but if he saw someone out there that he thought could help the Bombers he signed them. He wasn't afraid to push veterans to be better. If they felt uncomfortable or pressured that was okay. And we won Grey Cups. That was the bottom line for Murph. There was no country club atmosphere or entitlement with him. rebusrankin and blue_gold_84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford & Gurley were both signed late in the season when they were released by the Argos. The third player cut went to the Eskimos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I would have liked to see Chris Matthews sign here but I don't think it's that big of a deal missing out on him. comedygeek, JuranBoldenRules and Noeller 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's a bit perplexing how we don't bring in very much and what we do bring in doesn't get to play a lot, if at all. In the case of Matthews, a Joe Mack find and the 2012 CFL Rookie of the Year, I remember him making a huge impact right away. Big, strong receiver that could go get a ball and was tough to bring down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the defence is for real, it will be a shame that they didn't try to load up for stretch run and will be their undoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Mike says he is "just about over this regime" IMHO the Regime needs to take notice. As for me love, the dialogue here - I no longer have any emotional investment in the Bombers but like to discuss the pros and cons. Hard to believe that I use to buy season tickets even though I live in Calgary! It will be interesting to see how the season plays out and where the Bombers land - and given where I believe they will land what changes will take place in the off season in order to get enough folks to buy season tickets for 2019.
