For minor off-season Bomber news.  Any significant stories or news that are likely to generate significant discussion may have their own thread created.

Going to try going with the two threads again for the off season.    One for Bomber news, one for CFL news.   These threads should be used for general / minor day to day news, tweets, etc.  A catch all for tidbits that people want to share to keep everyone up to date on the goings and comings of the league.

Any news, tweets, and signings that is likely to generate significant discussion may have their own threads created.

we did that no?  lol

Last year. We need to do it again this year because 1 playoff  win in 6 or 7 years isn't enough.

The only way Miller, Walters & O'Shea are broken up is if one or more of them leave to go elsewhere. They deserve the accolades as they have built this team up to be a Grey Cup contender.  They are in no danger of being fired.

Hope you're right.

Funny though how a Grey Cup win can make that all go away

I think the Family is pretty safe.

Even without a Grey Cup I wouldn't be firing these guys. 

They have built a team that top players want to play for, they have built a system where our top players are in demand from other teams.... 

Why are we in a hurry to blow that up just because they haven't hit the jackpot with a cup yet? 

Stability matters when the group in charge is doing more good than bad. You fire people when it's actively hurting the long term prospects of the team, but these guys are building a hell of a strong foundation here, one that we haven't seen since the 90s.

Firing them under those circumstances would be the dumbest thing the Org, has done in the last 28 years...

thankful they really haven't changed the Bombers look at all. I'll be home in exactly two weeks, so I'm looking forward to grabbing some gear from the Bombers store...

I'm unfortunately missing out on TC stuff, because I get home on the Tuesday night and they play in Sask on the Thursday, so I assume they'll be travelling on the Wednesday. Lame. But being in the city on a game day is a real special treat.....

QFT. I hope they never wholesale change them again. Tweak and adjust sure. But its too good to go away from AGAIN. 

Current Bomber uniforms are plenty hip and rad, as is......

Calgary and Ottawa have two games broadcast, while Edmonton, Toronto and Winnipeg get nothing..

ha ha ha ha ha.......BE THAT AS IT MAY!!!   I am a bit of a nerd about this sorta thing...

On Chris Mathews:

“Out of the 20-odd completions over a couple of periods, maybe 17 went to him,” a grinning Nichols said. “It seemed like we’re on the right page with everything. Obviously, he brings something different to our offence and something that’s going to cause some people problems.”

As safety Derek Jones put it: “You can be on his hip and his arms are so long and he’s so strong, he can make a play anyway.”

Over on the dirty side of the ball, working just as hard to learn a new defence is the one-of-a-kind Jefferson, who bolted the Riders as a free agent to sign a one-year deal with Winnipeg.

“He’s that player that coaches drool over,” is how D-lineman Jackson Jeffcoat described the 28-year-old.

“He was a highlight reel,” D-lineman Jake Thomas acknowledged. “But I wasn’t sure how he’d be as a person. He’s a perfect person. He’s going to fit in great with this group. And his field play will speak for itself.”

Winston Rose is pretty bad. Gets a lot of picks because he gets targeted a LOT. 

Necro-posting but I feel like this deserves to be acknowledged for its accuracy.  🤣

Yeah I screwed up. What of it?

Just looked back at last season. The Bombers are now 11-2 in their last 13 games. And I know you cant add in preseason but if you could 13-2 in the last 15 games....
