At CFL.ca it says:

 

The team added CJ Gable, Rico Murray and Antonio Coleman to the suspended list but likely nothing to look into and more an adjustment needed to free up room on the roster; especially since they likely won't be seeing action this week due to injury.

 

 

I thought a player could only be added to the suspended list if they were in breach of contact. Anyone know the rules on this?

Tuinei didn't blow me away when watching him in that Argo game. That being said, none of the receivers really did.

I wonder who's going to win the "big end zone jump ball WR" we've been looking for?

Not that important really, in that situation a flag will effectively advance the ball to the one yard line now.

I'd say the loss of West represents the team committing to the next generation of NI talent and wanting to invest in these players.  Maybe he re-emerges on the roster once players can be added to IR lists.  Maybe not.  For now it seems like those 21 NI spots will be hotly contested, rather than in recent years where we're pinching our nose to make some of the choices.

The players weren't told until the morning so pretty brutal to announce them b4 u tell the players.

Regardless of labels people throw out. It's none yo business until they say it is. That's reality. Time to deal with it

 

Tburgess my new favorite troll

 

We should have an honorary Tburg day here, where we all pick something that is completely absolutely 100% totally irrelevant without any bearing on anything and possibly bordering on unicorns in it's imaginary nature, and complain about it.

 

I was so happy a game had finally been played, so now he can complain about a real thing, like a hand-off out of shotgun on second and ten, but no.  This.  It's so abstract it's like Picasso and Dali had a baby who grew up claiming to be a Bomber fan.

 

 

Let me try...  I think the fact that they changed the name of Investor's Group Field to just "Winnipeg Stadium" for the duration of the Women's World Cup shows WEAK leadership.  If Wade Miller was any kind of a leader he would have defended his major sponsor and stood up to FIFA.  I think we have a major problem in the management of the team, and this is just the start of a slippery slope where major soccer federations continually marginalize the team until they have to relocate to Moncton.

 

 

Funny stuff guys.  Completely ignore what I type.  Pretend that I'm anxious and feel entitled.  Then complain about that.  Par for the MBB course.

denial is a horrible thing. You can deny it all you like but you are entitled. You want decisions made on your schedule and if they're not made in accordance with when you want it then you start slagging the decision makers as fools. That my friend is entitlement whether you want to call it that or not. 

 

 

As for the cuts, biggest surprise to me is west given how much he came along on special teams over the years. 

 

Shows how much you actually read. I don't want all the decisions to be made on my schedule.  I disagree with some of the decisions.  I've never called the decision makers fools.  I don't think I'm entitled,  I think personal decisions can be made in under 5 days.  Most of the cuts were pretty easy to make.  When the Bombers make different choices than I would, I point that out.  When they make decisions that I agree with, I point that out.  It's called having a mind of my own.  Agreeing with everything the Bombers do is called 'Fan Boy', which is a title worn by a group of posters around here who want to 'yell down' everyone who disagrees with anything.

 

 

The part I don't understand is why you want the club (or think the club should/could have) made the decisions earlier than any other team. Is it because we played our games earlier than some of the other teams? I don't think the coaching staff should be penalized because of the schedule makers. Training camp is short enough without also losing 5 days worth of practices and meetings to evaluate the players.

 

The other option, of course, would been to tell the players yesterday morning instead of this morning, so they could make an announcement one day earlier, but why would they do that? They were able to get in an additional day, give every player as much of a chance as they possible could, and were able to take the evening to debate the possibilites. To do so earlier wouldn't be fair to the players in question or the coaching staff.

If the Bombers had announced their cuts yesterday morning, there would be Tburg complaining that the Bombers had a FULL DAY left to evaluate and pulled the trigger way too fast, showing that they just aren't giving all of the players enough attention and are now throwing out babies with the bath water. One thing I always find with serial complainers is that no matter what the situation, they will not be happy. I don't know why you would want to live in a perpetual state of unhappiness, but some people are just wired that way.

Classless...

Lol @ Wade Miller vs FIFA.... I wanna see that as a movie...

I can read just fine thanks, can you? Right there, looks like you set a schedule and think the Bombers should stick to it right? You act the same way all the time and then deny you act that way. 

Lol @ Wade Miller vs FIFA.... I wanna see that as a movie...

 

It starts and ends with fifa thinking wade is a soccer ball and kicking him into a net while screaming goooaaaaaall.

Deleted a bunch of crap out of this thread.

 

People are entitled to their opinions no matter how much you disagree with them. You can argue against their opinion, but there is no need to start calling people out and calling them names. 

 

Keep this thread on the topic of people getting cut. 

 

Thanks.

1) That's funny TB, I mean you saying you don't want decisions made on your schedule. Good one.

2) As much as I'm somewhat surprised at the release of Tuinei, I find I realize that a Tuinei isn't worth as much as it used to be.

3) I don't think we're going to be at a disadvantage on the DL if the players who are still around (Gibson, Johnson) are there to challenge and give us rotation especially at DE. Westerman and the ever-pressed G. Peach will do just fine as the leaders and the rest will follow nicely.

You may not be entitled, but you've definitely devised your own threshold for how long the Bombers should need to make their cuts.  Especially when you earlier make a statement like "There's no excuse for the decisions not having been made yet."

Thanks for not trying to tell me what I'm actually thinking and asking a serious question.

 

I'm not saying the Bombers should have made all the cuts 5 days ago or that they should have made the cuts before any other team.  I'm saying they had 5 more days than the teams who played on Saturday night so they had a lot of time to make the decisions.  All the teams who didn't play on Saturday night made their announcements yesterday. 17 and Dee like to refer to it as my timeframe.

 

Getting additional days out of players you aren't keeping anyway doesn't provide much if any benefit and it takes reps away from the guys who still need to make an impression to make the cut next week.  I hope we're not at the point where we need to keep the first cutdown players around in case we need them later on. Better to bring in some second cut guys from other teams or to rely on the scouts if we have injuries.

 

Even if you want to get every last rep from the guys you're cutting.  I'd still prefer that those cuts be made yesterday, face to face then announced yesterday.

My threshold = the leagues cutdown day.  5 days is more than enough time to make the decisions.

If you were someone with years and years of actual football coaching and management experience saying this, your opinion might have some validity to it. As it stands, you don't have a clue how long it takes to make decisions like this. So stating this as a fact just makes you look like someone who is complaining for the sake of complaining with no actual credibility backing your opinion.

If you were someone who's opinion I valued, I might listen to your post.  As it stands every team who didn't play on Friday managed to make their decisions and annouce them before the deadline except Winnipeg.

Can someone talk about their favourite old-timey wrestler now?

But what does it matter?  Who cares if they waited till the last second or not?  It doesn't make any difference in the grand scheme of things.

Logan... That's the funny thing about this.  It doesn't matter anymore.  It's simply a difference of opinion between me and the "Blue Fanboys".  Never should have been a big deal.

Not sure if this is even true, but even if it is, who the hell cares. Meanwhile, in Africa, five kids starved to death while we were arguing about this stupid trivial non-issue.

This is the most laughable post you have made. You vs. Blue fanoys? No this is you vs. common sense. You once again got your nose out of joint because the team didn't use your faulty logic when making decisions and you're claiming that it's just team can do no wrong fanboys arguing with you because anyone with any shred of logic would agree with you. Maybe, just maybe when it's you vs. the world you are the one using faulty logic. Us "fanboys" and the teams coaches and GMs all said why not take all the time you are afforded? Sure 5 days is long enough to make decisions, if they had to make more cuts in the next 5 hours they'd be able to do that too, but there really is no harm in taking all the time you are afforded. Do you really supposed that a couple extra bodies around for a couple days really takes away that many reps from people? Hell a guy like Yantz from all accounts is barely taking any reps as is so clearly there's a pecking order established already and the guys with an actual shot at the team are getting the bulk of the reps anyway.
