After what happened in Sask I think knows that once you have a place where you like it and are comfortable you don't leave.

That sucks for Mike Jones. Ugh, don't like him losing his spot.

Yeah, that is where I learned he is a FA. I guess it made sense coming off a 4 game sample size. I am sure we will figure it out, but he picked good year to be in the MOP race.

I texted into the Coach's Show a couple of weeks ago. O'Shea said Agudosi went home to attend to a family matter. O'Shea said Agudosi is still in the team's plans.

Whole lot of Blue Flu going around the league this season!

Harris is on the 6 game so him not practicing shouldn't even really be a story from Ted.

I loved watching Dunigan back in the day, regardless of what team he was on.

1. Excellent decision. Notorious slower selling sections like corner lower bowl are even steady. Act soon! 2. S-natch is an asterisk word?

Just in case anyone's curious.......

I like Petermann but do we want guys like that on our roster that put winning second? This is pro football & players only get a short window to win championships. I want players that are only committed to winning a championship. Sorta like the NHL where you have players that will only sign with Sun Belt teams. They refuse to play in colder climates as they can't use their pool in winter, golf or go to the beach. These guys just want a paycheque & the good life over playing for a championship in a city that snows.

Would Rider fans allow their girlfriends to do that?

Pretty sure that was Cameron Friesen or Kelvin Goertzen

As long as we have the best OL in the league, I think QBs will want to play here....and that includes ZC. Also think Buck is doing a lot to attract FAs on offense......

I'm not too worried about Zach being a free agent. He's a good qb. The team is benefitting from him and he is benefitting from the team. He's not going to go to some team where he won't be able to stay healthy. And if he does there will be plenty of qbs available who will find the job in Winnipeg appealing.

These quarterbacks are set to become free agents in February 2022 McLeod Bethel-Thompson, Toronto Argonauts Zach Collaros, Winnipeg Blue Bombers The ten-year veteran has turned back the clock this season, playing like the Most Outstanding Player candidate we saw in Hamilton five years ago. Collaros leads the league in passing yards (2,832), touchdown passes (18) and quarterback efficiency rating (111.7) and is widely considered the front-runner to win M.O.P. this year. Dominique Davis, Ottawa Redblacks Dane Evans, Hamilton Tiger-Cats Isaac Harker, Saskatchewan Roughriders Jake Maier, Calgary Stampeders Jeremiah Masoli, Hamilton Tiger-Cats Sean McGuire, Winnipeg Blue Bombers The 25-year-old has been in The Peg since the start of the 2019 season and has played sparingly, completing four-of-nine pass attempts for 72 yards. With Winnipeg having already clinched first place in the West Division, it's possible we'll see a lot of McGuire over the next three weeks. David Watford, Hamilton Tiger-Cats Signed through 2022: Vernon Adams Jr., Montreal Alouettes; Nick Arbuckle, Edmonton Elks; Taylor Cornelius, Edmonton Elks; Caleb Evans, Ottawa Redblacks; Cody Fajardo, Saskatchewan Roughriders; Trevor Harris, Montreal Alouettes; Paxton Lynch, Saskatchewan Roughriders; Bo Levi Mitchell, Calgary Stampeders; Matt Nichols, Ottawa Redblacks; Dakota Prukop, Edmonton Elks; Michael Reilly, B.C. Lions.

I assume whatever pylon they bring in for Clark with be better than him. Maybe a tackling dummy?

5/5 long of 55 yards in practice today.

Everyone is free agent after this year or so it seems. Vote JCon for your next commish! I can't fix the short deals but I can collect a paycheque and travel around the country watching football.

Harris or Schiltz this week? I think we see Harris.

Willie before he was a Bomber

Well, that's just patently false.

in general I will root for anyone the Bombers put out there. one of the rare exceptions, the one guy I wanted cut immediately after I watched him play, was Dominic Picard, the center who couldn't shotgun snap. How much better could Willy have played if he didn't have to spend that half a second locating Picard's slow-motion snaps and then dodging Picard as the enemy DTs rollerskated him into the pocket... I think Willy was the real deal until the Bombers' terrible OL got him killed. When he started he was good enough to make Aaron Kelly into a legit deep threat. When he was done he was hesitating and nervous, he looked slow. A real shame that he didn't get the team he needed to play to his potential.

It takes courage to go out & know you'll be mugged on the football field nearly every time you drop back to pass. I'll give tons of credit to Drew Willy for doing that. He stood in there & took his lumps. Willy never quit.

This is what the Bombers do right? Long assed droughts then go on a multiple championships run.

Willy had all the potential In the world but the lack of oline did him in. I liked him. Several moments where u could see the skill but just lacking the talent around him

He might have been if we would have had some decent OL blocking for him.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the Bud Grant team that won 4 GCs in 5 years, between 58-62......I'd be cool with that stretch right about now.

Mos may well go down as the goat of bomber coaching. We've had several greats but few have had that really long sustained career here. Mos could well be the hc here in 10 years.

Increases have ranged from 1% - 2% since about 2010. Occasionly, there was a 1.5% split. There were also wage freezes in some sectors, and these were not exclusive to any particular government.

Any combination of initiatives that engage the younger fan has to be explored. In a perfect world it would be ideal to have a student section for high school kids that allocated a set number of seats for specific high schools that rotate on an annual basis. It would be up to each school to dole out the 25 seats per game. If I was in that age group, I would definitely want to go with my buddies. If not for the game, then to see the girls from the other schools.

I'd like to see the CFL consider London, Ontario as a potential expansion city so we can get to 10 teams. Having 4 teams in Ontario & all 5 Eastern teams in the same time zone would be beneficial for scheduling as well as rivalries. That & the fact that London already has a 10.000 seat stadium in place that I think can be expanded to 25,000 makes it a much better choice than Halifax. The economy is better than Halifax & London as well as Southern Ontario has the population base to draw from. Metro London has a population of 500,000.

Not to mention following recommendations put forth by consultants hired by the previous NDP government. I fully recognize that change is hard but the insistence of some to keep calling the health care changes “cuts” I just don’t understand. How can spending more but doing it differently ever be considered cuts? Only when you let the unions tell one side of the story and ignore the other. No publicly funded health care system can be staffed at capacity for a once in a lifetime pandemic. It’s only natural that resources needing to be redeployed for an emergency situation. While delays in surgeries is an incredible quality of life issue for some the saving of lives must take priority. It is not a MB only issue and isn’t just a PC issue. (disclaimer: I’m a political orphan that has previously support the MB PC’s. Unknown where I will park my next vote and struggling to find anyone to support)

I really liked Peterman's moxie. Reminded me of a young Rick House. I would take him back any time.

Yeah we decided not to wait and grabbed a pair in 227. Gonna be a time!

Just letting anyone who knows they will be buying tickets to the West Final and haven't done so yet that tickets look like they are moving steady with more than a month to go. May want to ****** them up sooner than later. Your price point preference may not be around.

Wonder if we will see Roosevelt get into one of these games?

Willy-peg.

Stafanson took over the heatlh portfolio during the pandemic. Before, she was the Justice Minister, then Families.

I think part of development is competition. So, if two players are vying for a third string qb position the best one should make the roster. Making it a Canadian position only would be a mistake. If a Canadian can play #3 qb then sure but it shouldn't be de facto Canadian. When I say putting the needs of the fans ahead. That should be Job Number One by the CFL in a gate driven league. High ticket prices need to come down. . So, make it more affordable. Fans are refusing to pay these high prices so they don't buy tickets. They don't feel they're getting good value for their money. In calgary, if you want to buy game day single tickets on the 55 yard line, they are somewhere close to $120 each which to me, is madness. Those tickets should be half that price. All ticket prices should be slashed so that when the CFL televises locally shouldn't keep thousands of fans at home. Evening start times late in the season have to stop in Western Canada when it gets to be mid October. The teams not TSN have to call the shots here as they know what times & days of the week work best in their markets. Let then have more of a say with start times. The biggest insult to fans in my mind is UFA. There has to be a mechanism in place where fans know that good players just can't leave their former teams high & dry with no form of compensation. Especially if they were drafted as rookies or signed as 1st year free agents. Time & money went into developing these players & teams need to be paid accordingly with draft picks & money. The better the player, the more it should cost to sign them to help stem the tide of free agent frenzy we see every February. Restricted free agency has to be negotiated into the new CBA. I think any player who has been in the league 6 seasons or is signing his third contract can be UFA's. Younger players, no. Teams need to recoup the money spent on development. One year deals & NFL opt outs while under contract are another insult. Players come & go. As fans, we barely get to know these players & then they're gone. I think it's much more difficult for fans to know & relate to players than it was a generation ago when I was half my age or when I started out as a Bomber fan as a 10 year old. We knew who the players were on the Bombers. We also knew many players from other teams. There was more of a connection with fans to players back then than today. A deeper connection means a fan has more invested in their team. They're interested. They care about their team & the players. Now, as a lot of fans say, they spend a couple hundred dollars on a nice Bomber jersey with a certain player's number & name on the back. Then that player leaves the next season. Which is an expensive slap in the face especially if that player signs with the Riders. It's a sign of disrespect as the rules let players leave. TSN, the CFL & the CFLPA seem to have no interest in the fans. We pay the freight. We go to the games. We buy expensive merch. We go to the regular season, playoffs & Grey Cup. We buy season tickets. We watch the games on TSN so the broadcaster & the league can sell advertising. Without US, there'd be no CFL. It's time they started respecting what we want instead of what they always want... in a gate driven league. The day television covers all of football operations so the 9 teams all make money then they can do what they want. Until then, quit taking US, the fans for granted.

Hell yeah. Especially if we win 3 in a row with next year being in Regina.

well now that's impressive...

They have committed to run the ball the past few games think they are much more balanced in 2021 than 2019.

No other coach could have 5 consecutive 10 win seasons because no other coach except Ritchie lasted more than 5 years. (Ritchie got 5 years + 7 games)

Was interested in this so decided to look it up the last time a Blue Bomber coach had 5 consecutive 10+ win seasons Bud Grant who had six in a 1957-1962 and now Mike O'Shea 2016-2021. Only two that have done it in the history of the club.

I remember 2012/2013 and the stuff we got excited about because we had precious little else........something like this would have given me hope.
