Booch Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 guys in the states...and ones with hopes of furthering their careers when a chance pops up don't just train in the gym...i know from experience and are continually playing mock games with others, training in elite facilities and are game ready....Pretty sure Plesius wasn't doing that.

Booch Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 And we are in no fear of cap issues either...a late season signing isn't going to hurt us in the least and I bet you see many an extension at end of the year with upfront money from this year still available...the up against the cap talk is all message board fabrication and assumptioms...and has no legitimacy to it Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 That honestly annoys me a bit. Especially when you look at who the Bombers currently have on the PR. and the effort levels or lack their of, of the "#1" receiver on this team.

Booch Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 and guaranteed he would have had interest in coming here...he really liked it here and 9 out of 10 guys show loyalty to the team who gave him his chance...and he seemed like one of those 9..

Mr Dee Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 But Matthews was available much sooner than his recent signing. Even if he wouldn’t have been ready then, he certainly would have been by now. The Bombers like to sign and keep training camp personnel, along with free agents, then save some salary for extensions. This year, the 5th with this regime, should have been the time to add mid-season signings, especially if they are proven with CFL experience. blue_gold_84 and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 It's situations like this, I wish the management was more open. I'd like to know the reasoning behind not having interest. At least then we could make some sense of it. Mr Dee and blue_gold_84 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpants Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I'm pretty disappointed to hear we weren't in on Chris matthews... he would immediately make our receivers better... and I hate to be the bearer of bad news for some people... but Darvin Adams is not a #1 receiver...

Piss and moan when only beat teams with a sub .500 record.... piss and moan when we beat a +.500 team... So what would you do? Who would you fire and who would you bring in? What changes to the starting line up would you make? I'm not pissing or moaning. I'm pointing out the difference in the way the two team operate when they get to .500. FTR: I would have signed Matthews. I would have fired Hall in the off season and yes, I know his defense had a great game this week. I'd have started Streveler for the last 2 games and I'd expect we'd still have won them because Nichols wasn't a difference maker in either game. I wouldn't have signed either Wild or Leggett in the off season. Oko, because of his salary, would have been on the bubble too. I wouldn't have gone with 11 import starters + NI's on defense.

The Eskimos hit .500 in the last 3rd of the season, heads roll because that's not good enough. The Bombers hit .500 in the last 3rd of the season, and we're talking about how good we are and how we shoulda coulda woulda won more games because we is better than our record.

Most of what I hear here and I want to be absolutely clear I include you "WBBFanWest" in that group - is that most of what I hear is all of the "We Could Have - We Should have" etc. etc. The Bombers beat Edmonton - great win! They are a 500 club with an uphill battle and I have my doubts they will win more than 1 maybe 2 more games. They may or may not make it in the playoffs as a cross over. They are just not that good and that includes from the top to the bottom and I fully expect changes in 2018 regardless of what happens for the balance of the year. You have your opinion and I happen to align my thinking more closely with TB's. TBURGESS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigseye Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I think there was less bickering when we were on our 4 game losing streak then there is now. Everyone just needs to chill, discuss the post and lay off the personal attacks. oh and the Riders still suck.

blueingreenland Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 So ticked at the Bombers. The best team in the CFL looks to upgrade (yes, I know they have injuries), and we stand pat!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Why does this team refuse to upgrade itself during the season? Why are we loathe to add players that could help us yet other teams are. I throw this at the feet of the 3 people running this team. Every year CFL vets become available from the NFL & we take a pass. And like clockwork every year we either don't make the playoffs or make a hasty exit if we do. Sometimes it seems like Miller, Walters & O'Shea don't care. The fans deserve much better than they get from those guys. It is absolutely mind boggling that every year we break camp with the players on the roster from training camp & end the season with them.

pigseye Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 That's the real difference, other teams got hit hard by injuries and blew through their PR guys. 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. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
