Arnold_Palmer Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 What if I told you we’ve won more games in the CFL than any other team in the past three seasons except for Calgary? I get we fell short.. but we need to re tool not blow it up. Noeller and Sard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do or die Posted November 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Blowing it up, would be beyond pointless. But room for improvement and upgrades remain.....mostly revolving around import scouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard some pretty crazy suggestions... obviously we need to take that next step but I swear 1990 is in the back of everyone’s mind, and all that does is hurt this team long term.

I get that people get stupid because of 28 years, but this regime is on the right track so everyone needs to be patient. Sard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only folks who are talking about 28 years are those who are preaching patience. That's where the stupidity lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of the past only kills us long term. You broached the subject of 1990. My point is that the reason we were so bad for so long is that there were a bunch of bad hires and passivity on the part of the fans. There are multiple examples in the CFL of teams being turned around (or started from scratch) and becoming successful in a couple of years, so the current Bomber regime is running out of excuses. The Bombers were in very sad shape, financially and talent-wise for much of that time, but winning one playoff game in five years is hardly a stunning success.

Any gins you can recommend worthy of drinking straight up or over ice? Maybe a rhetorical question, but are you a swiller or a connoisseur?

I don't any of the players care the we haven;t won the whole thing in a long time (maybe other than Andrew Harris)... all they care about is winning now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a tweet from a fan after the game Sunday who said the Bombers really aren't interested in winning. He used Mike Reilly & BLM as examples by saying the Bombers would never sign them if they were free agents by sticking with Nichols. Management only wants to make money. What do you guys think? I'd hate if this is the case as the fans deserve better. That was the knock on the Maple Leafs for years. Don't see the Bombers in the same light.

We've heard more than once 'This regime is on the right track'. Obviously we wish success for Miller and company but don't say we get stupid because of 28 years with no cup, that's absurd.

It's not a criticism at all against the players but them understanding it would go along way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
