I sure am glad I caught up on this thread on my lunch break, not during a Teams call or something...

Just putting it out there, but I do NOT wish for us to re-sign Drew Willy.

well that is HOT and spicy take!! Whew!!

SHOULD not would.

Sam Hurl has been waiting for Bighill to retire to announce his comeback, so that domino has to drop first.

I agree, the Bombers need the cap space to entice Sam Hurl and Brock Ralph out of retirement.

I feel exactly the same way you do about Powell. The kid has that certain something that the other young starting qbs in this league don't have. The kid has confidence. Kind of reminds me of BLM a decade ago.

Either or would be huge...both would be ideal I would think Bennett is a mere formality in coming back home....

Just a good dude...his final statements as well say a lot about him and how the other core vets power this machine

I'm of two minds. Our players are professionals and it's their job to bring it even if they're not feeling it. And part of why players in this room love MOS is because he gives them the freedom to do that. That's what FIFO is, the ability for the team to regulate itself and get rid of players who are unable to do that. Now, that said, it seems like we're missing the emotional element that can give players an extra boost in certain moments.

Of all the young QB's who got thrown into the fire this yr due to injury and got more than a handful of starts...he's the one that to me looked to have the highest upside....with reps and the chnce to learn the CFL game, and recognize what he seeing without having to thiNK...should be a good QB...Was the best technically sound of the group

I wonder about Mitchell. he loves Calgary but there's no future living there. I don't know if he wants to move to Toronto to work for TSN. I personally think his playing days are over. If I was Milanovich, I'd be excitred at the prospect of developing Taylor Powell. he was the guy that should have been playing all along but like O'Shea here with his wacky roster moves, Steinhauer did the same thing with the Ti Cats. Benched Powell for the 2 injury prone & inconsistent other guys. If I was a Hamilton fan, today I'd be singing "Happy Days are here again" with Steinhauer kicked upstairs & Milanovich taking over as HC.

oof, that is a bad take. This here, shows exactly what a spoiled and entitled fanbase looks like.

"If I don't get along with him they'll stop paying me"

I had been thinking to myself that a silver lining in all this "we made Faj look like an all star" nonsense was that maybe Montreal would be stupid enough to believe it and $$ treat him like one $$.... this is hilarious and the best thing that could have happened to every other team in the league.

It is a crazy number, but a team like the Blue Jays and their own Rogers will easily make that money back in all the additional revenue they can generate.

This interview should bring a little sunshine your way. https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/12/05/willie-jefferson-re-signing-media-december-5-2023/ I'd love to get one of those off-center wide brim hats Willie is sporting, but just know I'd look goofy as hell wearing it.

I'd say the overall lack of cleanliness from every Taco Bell/ KFC in town that I've been to is a much larger concern.

Imagine if Toronto signed MBT and Dinwiddie made him the starter, now that would be good times

I believe they can cut him in the offseason, just not during the season with an injury. Offseason cut they would just be responsible for some of his medical.

Jim Daley is the best Bombers coach in club history. Change my mind.

I'd also like to go on record and say I never want to see Lapo as our OC, Etcheverry as our DC or Kuale at linebacker. Oh and cut Damien Jackson.

The mental game also includes being sound in their assignments and knowing what to do on the field.

The only guy I will miss is King, now to get a couple of starters

Soto is a Yankee. Cashman finally fixes the grievous error of not signing Harper. Now, they better get him extended.

MASH is still one of my all time favorite shows. I was only old enough to watch the first run of the last couple of seasons but I remember watching the reruns for years on CKND.

Holm with the pick was a high point for me. The goal line stand was a pretty sweet team effort. Not saying it justifies his rostering but seeing the seal lead blocking on Brady's first TD was fun given the circumstances. Lawler did come to play and did all he could. Apparently to makes excuses be scapegoats for star players laying eggs in championship games

So then why do we have coaches?

I would suspect Hawkeye Pierce isn't as fast putting the moves on some unsuspecting nurse in the supply room like he was fifty years ago. I read somewhwere that Gary Burghoff was despised by his cast members. That he was dour in his attitude & difficult to work with. I think the laughing face from bustamente was for my first comment about Hawkey Pierce's sexual prowess. .

Troll says what?

If we could only land of Kongbo or Bennett I would choose Bennett

I don't understand why Hamilton would pay BLM starter money. I'd offer him a reduced contract with bonus incentives if he reaches certain milestones to be the veteran back up to help out whoever they select as a starter.

If we could land Kongbo and Bennett....we could conceivably use the one DA spot for a monster nose to run with Lawson and hopefully Fox...Unless we land or unearth another dtackle even better

Score can’t be reflected on one aspect of a team. Reductio ad absurdum. Our defence was terrible at tackling. Our kick cover teams were miserable. By your standard, it was all great. We do not do things on the dl to aid our lbers. We literally do the exact opposite. Our lbers funnel support entirely to dl and dbs. That’s why our tackle and plays made totals are always low at lber. You are completely and hopelessly lost and with out understanding at a basic level of how defence and our defence works, and is graded. Most every one did. The collapse was as complete or more so than our 01 gc collapse. Doesn’t mean guys are undesirable. he’d be a stellar pick up too. The Argos D is jam packed with talent. It’s ridiculous, and I’m sure teams are gonna feast on them in free agency.

it took me a good week to get over the loss... the depression was very real. But I'm ramping up for next year..... as JCon mentioned, I'm getting ready for FA and the CIS Draft.... then Rookie Camp and Full TC. Can't freaking wait...

Man you make a lot of excuses for everyone. Bomber have been a good team for a lot of years, but you can't just sit on your ass and expect it to continue. They gambled hard on rolling with an aging roster last season, it almost paid off but in the end did not. They can't do that again. Need a serious infusion of talented impactful youth in a lotnof areas or we will just watch it slip further and further away.

I would imagine that would apply to his recruitment going forward. At the moment the Ticats have two starters under 6 feet so they won't be getting a ton bigger in their starters. Might see Hervey going through the backups and teamers to get bigger though. That's great news. Takes a team out of play on the Dru Brown front.

That's right... you secure that albatross around your organization's neck until you realize too late that you've hanged yourselves with a "me first, look at me, look at me" leader. Gooood... gooooood...

The fact that you remember this stuff is incredible and mind boggling... always a pleasure to read your Bomber history memories @Taylor Ribbins... unfortunately you father played 10 years before I was born so I'm no use to you... but good luck with your search!

Dinwiddie: “I’d prefer to be an NFL guy,” Dinwiddie said. “The NCAA, I’m always a West Coast guy as far as recruiting and being able to handle that.” https://3downnation.com/2023/12/04/argos-ryan-dinwiddie-would-consider-any-nfl-opportunity-thats-the-right-fit/ Like, c'mon. Can you imagine MOS saying something like this? I feel bad for TO fans, their HC and starting QB just won't shut up about leaving the first chance they get.

When healthy we are far and away the better team. Montreal was red hot and extremely healthy. We dressed 3 receivers that couldn't make near the impact they would have if they were healthy. And then on top of that we turned the ball over in key situations and our defensive game plan was bad. It ******* sucks but looking forward to next year.

He should genuinely start over Bethard.

Imagine getting beat by a career 3rd stringer

Can we get the mods to replace the word Fajardo with Daddy everytime Noeller types it? 😈

first sign that there's a problem with the menu item is if you can take it straight from the container like this....this is the KFC stuffing

So, you're not always right. Will wonders never cease? It would be nice if O'Shea answered to someone for his roster goofs & we got a new DC.

Yup need guys who can once in a while step up and make a big play. Outside of Brady it felt like the team as a whole was just going through the motions. It would be nice if they could recruit some new guys who can challenge vets for spots. We need better depth on this team. Maybe O'Shea can find a Navy Seal / Delta Force / JTF agent who can push Jackson for that desired bench warmer position

I'm alwasy amazed at the hate people have for Fajardo. He did kill us. That last drive drove a spike through all of our hearts.
