That was a shitty team & he was fired. He had built something in Winnipeg & just walked away for the money. Cal Murphy tweaked it & he won a championship.

Neck and neck with the '90 defence. 16 hours ago, Noeller said: Yeah, I asked my 70 year old uncle, who is a rabid Bombers fan, about the '21 D vs the legendary 80s Bombers D, and he said this is better. They've never had a front 7 at the same level as the one from last year... I disagree. I am not suggesting that the 90 defensive front 7 is better than now but I would put them as equals. That 90 D had a pretty awesome front 7 too. 15 hours ago, Noeller said: here's the thing: Each generation is better than the last, because of improvements to health and training...... and today's athletes would dominate previous ones. For sure. There is no doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did in the earlier years up to the mid 70's but after that players were expected to work out, lift weights, do cardio & eat right in the off season as they do now. They were on training regimens. Training Camp is pure hell. Why anyone would show up 20 lbs overweight & then suffer for a month afterwards is beyond me. It's just stupidity. Hawerchuk smoked 2 packs a day and the extent of his off season workout regimen was playing summer beer league in Gimli. I know, I played on his team. That guy would have been ridiculous if he had trained, ate right, not smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we attempted to access the code via the team’s website on Tuesday, the response was this: PAGE NOT FOUND.” You literally cannot make up how hilariously terrible this franchise is.
