First time in 29 years where the off season is a not a time to be bemoaning a missed Grey Cup- how sweet it is.

 

Figured we can park all Blue Bomber going ons for this off-season here in this thread.

 

Starting with this:

 

 

 

Let's get this guy Locked up for the foreseeable future...

Ruh Roh

Maybe Darrell Williams who spent the season on our pr steps up and becomes a starting tackle next year. However my first thought was Ruh Roh too.

That's interesting. I wonder if they want to go with four NIs on the OL next year? Could they? Then they could four Muricans on the DL.

It would  be a sad day.

Emotional leader

Means nothing..he's sporting his bomber gear on instagram...and he is saying he is in the offseason..if he was hanging em up it wouldn't be off season

And I doubt we wouldn't re-sign him..

I don't think he is retiring.

Well who wouldn’t  want to be  attached to a winner. Even though there’s no formal affiliation.

Buck Pierce is the leading candidate to be the next OC.

Interestingly, Jeff Hamilton has this to say about Osh not re-signing yet:

Funny thing is, I wouldn't classify this as a delay at all. Mike O'Shea is very meticulous with what he does after every season (player meetings, season breakdown work, etc.) that a contract is probably the last thing on his mind.

 

Hamilton is pretty reliable with this stuff. Also, I think LaPo would have been the Osh replacement (like it or not) and do not think he would have watched LaPo leave and then bolt to another team.

Totally.

 

And, I know I keep harping on this, but they need to extend Walters too per their practice. They'll want both deals in place before they make the announcement. 

 

We're only in the seventh day of advent, people. The best surprises are always saved nearer to the end. 

Just watched Drew Brees hand off to Taysom Hill. In the CFL that would be illegal, correct?

Put your name on it, or don't write it.

What was written here you object to? Seems like a story with no opinion, just factual statements.

My bad, I read something on Twitter saying he should not be nominated and thought it was the subtext to tweeting the link. 

I probably should have read the whole thing 😀😀

So my FB "Memories" tell me that this was exactly 3 years ago today......

 

Let's GTFG with a new version!!

We might lose McManus because of this. Just hoping Rigmadien stays put.

I am still mulling this response over...

At least we’re no longer the team struggling to sign capable people...

I am still surprised that Khari signed a new deal so soon.

I'm surprised they gave him a say in hiring his boss.

I'm not actually that surprised... The guy turned what everyone expected to be a complete dumpster fire into a relatively exciting team that didn't feel like an automatic to lose in the first round.  Also he was doing some of the GM duties through the start of the year.

Also - Montreal absolutely didn't want to lose Khari - Having him coach the team means more people in the stadium.

Rigmaiden spent 6 years in BC so Wally & Khari (to a lesser extent I would imagine) both worked with him and should have a good idea what he can do.  They were also very quickly running out of candidates who were interested in the job so it seems like an easy choice for them.

When you finally get a culture changer (Khari)....you don't put shackles on him.

Rigmaiden has been offered Montreal's GM position. 

Can't imagine he would turn down that opportunity. RIP our scouting department.
