gbill2004 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 The Lions aren't the powerhouse they once were. In the West, I think the Bombers will compete for 3rd place with BC and Edmonton, behind Calgary and Sask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 So now no one wants to play in BC? Too much rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Sask and BC could be in for a bit of a down slide this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Wally won't overpay for players that is and always been one of his strengths. If you overpay for even one player you drive up the expectations for all the players. You need to hold to a pay schedule and not let or get emotional about the "business" of football.

iso_55 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Wally would cut his mother to save a dollar. He is cutthroat. He's been GM in BC almost as long as in Calgary when he was cutting veterans left & right thinking someone younger & cheaper could play & he finished last in the West in 2002. He might be nearing the end of the road in the CFL & looking to retirement in the next couple of years. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotoriousBIG Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Wow what happened to all the Wally lovers who wanted him as the next Bomber GM and spare no expense to get him.? Wally Buono as Bomber GM would be an instant, immediate upgrade over anything we've had since, well, I don't know. A healthy Dave Ritchie? When you hire Wally, you also hire a very good pipeline to talent (Roy Shivers?). And while he may cut guys a little TOO early, at least he doesn't get taken to the woodshed too often or get held over a barrel by prima-donnas. Ask the other GM's in the league if they respect Wally as a GM. Then ask what they think of Joe Mack. Armchair GM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Wally is a great GM. He's having a terrible offseason. You could also apply the same thing to Taman, but that's not really his fault. Mr. Perfect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 If these guys were playing for Winnipeg the media and some posters around here would have blown there comments way out of proportion. Pitch forks would have came out and grudges would have started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 He's not saying anyone is a coach killer. He's saying Poblah is a guy who is all potential, but counting on potential that never comes through is how coaches lose their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
