2024/2025 CFL (non-Bomber) Off-Season Thread
Okay, I'll acknowledge that I may have misunderstood what you said. I just am questioning what is going on? You can never trust O'Shea to be forthcoming. Some coaches are but he's not. Walters doesn't address the media & fans as much as he used to. Miller operates in the background & vary rarely talks to the media about the status of the team. I don't subscribe the In O'Shea We Trust mantra because of some of the coaching decisions that were made last year regards to playing guys like BA, Bighill & Schoen who were hurt. Some of the off season moves we made last year need to be questioned, like letting Janarion Grant go & keeping other veterans around like our old favourite punching bag Jake Thomas. So, Walters isn't immune from criticism, either. I want to see real changes. I don't want vets who are coaches favourites to stay on the roster because O'Shea doesn't want to make a change. This team is aging out & changes need to be made. This may be a watershed off season where a bunch of personnel & coaches move on which means more than a few players will as well.

If I'm wrong then I'll acknowledge it.

Just now. You don't want anyone questioning anything. Let's just be happy with appearing in 5 straight championships. No not when we can't win.

If we don't move on from Jake Thomas & Bighill & thy both come back then the roster change/turnover is nothing but bullshit.

Man, this mentality that we can't criticize or question anyone is dumbfounding. How some people just fall for it & say that no one can question any missteps or mistakes by O'Shea. We've lost 3 championships in a row & Zach hasn't thrown a TD pass in the last 3 Grey Cups. Playing injured players who should be sitting. Not giving the ball to Oliveira. All kinds of questions about how this team is prepared, the roster is managed & coached on the field, yet don't ask any probing questions about why it's happening. We're just supposed to be happy we got to the last 5 championships & lost the last 3. Not me. I suspect a lot of us here want to know just what the hell is going on as well as the future of this team..

2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread
Seems like an interesting guy. Was he our only US scout? As that was McManus's role in the past. Goveia was the Canadian scout.

I know nothing about Cyril Penn. Can you give us some background & why you like him? Eventually they will, though. Nothing stays the same. Losing those 3 at thebsame time would not be good.

We trusted Tim Burke would get the job done when he was first hired & how did that work out? If Goveia & McManus leave along with Buck then there'll be changes.

Most irksome moment of GC 2024- Why did they Stray from Brady?
Rumours on X today that Goveia & McManus both leaving for Hamilton with McManus GM & Goveia as Asst GM doing what he was doing here. We can survive as an organization losing Buck to the Lions as HC. But can we survive losing McManus, Goveia & Pierce all together at once?

2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread
Rumour on X that now that Hervey is gone that both McManus & Goveia will bolt to Hamilton with McManus as GM. Apparently, danny just bought a house in Hamilton & Goveia grew up in Burlington. So, we'll see.

Who's Going to The Grey Cup?
I got nailed there a few years ago. I didn't see the 60 kph sign & continued on at 80. I got a photo radar ticket but I paid it. As you say **** you, Moose Jaw. I'll never use your gas stations, hotels or restaurants along the TCH or in your stinking town. I'll either stop in Regina or Swift Current depending the direction I'm going.

Osh is just so rigid in his thinking. He can't see the big picture. In his mind with Dolegala being number 3 so he won't him play him before Wilson. I wasn't disappointed he didn't play Dolegala. I was just resigned to it.
-
All things considered...
Yeah, never thought of him. he is a qb guru. He developed VA, BLM & Michael Reilly in college. He wasn't OC in Calgary. just a qb coach. It was Pat DelMonaco with Dickenson calling the plays. No surprise there. Horrible offense. Don't want to see that here.

I dunno. Was it 2007? Okay, I never checked the date. The man had lost his mind. He's not even mentioned by WWE anymore.

I can't see any of them leaving. kolo would be Coutures backup so he's not going. I don't think Jake could even make the Lions. Biggie? He has his financial services career going here. If he wants to coach LBers here, all for it. Lions have Rourke at qb.

The CFL Boyz Club hard at work. Next up, BC fires Campbell. He takes Maksymic with him to Edmonton. Expect some assistants & a couple of big name receivers to go with them. Buck replaces Campbell in BC. What coaches & players will he take to Vancouver along with him? Would Schoen sign in BC???
-
All things considered...
Is Zach really done or is it coaching & the game plan by Buck? I hope BC hires him as HC so we can find out. You know, at this point if Buck left (please!!!), I would hire LaPo back in a heartbeat. I never thought I'd ever say that.

The 2024 Grim Reaper Thread
AOL & Time Warner merger killed WCW. Eric Bischoff had the investors to buy the brand & run tv tapings out of one of the resort hotel/casinos in Las Vegas. They had a 2,000 seat venue that Bischoff thought would have been perfct to revive WCW. However, once the merger came about with all of Ted Turner's tv properties including WCW were absorbed, Bischoff's deal fell through as WCW as everything was contingent upon WCW to still be broadcast on TNN. The new owners of Time Warner-AOL despised wrestling & didn't want it at any time slot on TNN. Vince McMahon came in & bought up WCW ( mostly videos of old matches & PPV's & finally put his wrestling rival out of business in 1999. A few guys made it in the WWE. Ric Flair, Big Show, Chris Benoit, (tragically he killed his family & then took his own life in 2005), Eddie & Chavo Guerrero, Chris Jerico & Booker T all made it. Today, Goldberg still wrestles occasionally on WWE PPV's for big paydays.

I don't see massive changes. When you have Mr Blue Bomber, Bob Irving himself, saying today on X that signing Jake Thomas is a priority for the team, just how much change will there be??? Not a lot. I don't see much changing. It ends when he says so.
-
All things considered...
Assuming we trade Collaros. Then on the hook for half... If we want to make a change we'll have to accept that. No, BLM wasn't dumped by the Stamps because of turnovers. Dickenson/Hufnagel thought his shoulder & arm issues cooked his career. At the time, he was having problems with accuracy & one hopping intermediate passes. Maier was actually playing well in relief so they made the move to make Jake the #1 guy.
-
All things considered...
Adams easily could but he's expensive, I also like the young qb from Montreal & I like Powell from Hamilton.
-
3 turds plus crappy honker. Long winter edition.
Defense wins championships. Offense sells tickets. Our gameplan on D made no sense. Ruxh three, drop 9 & no pressure?? Why dress SEVEN DL when you only play 3 at a time? Once again, Osh's use of our roster made no sense.

What a dynasty means to me
I don't want to hear that word again. We're no dynasty. We're a team that has great regular seasons but can't win their very last playoff game of the year.
