Last chance to clinch the iconic TC MVP trophy and ascend to the hall of legends with the likes of Joshua Bostick, Tony Ortiz, and Manase Foketi (who managed to win it without even making it to camp!) 
 

Well, when are we gonna get rowdy?
LET'S GO BLUE!

Originally they're supposed to be a trio - Booch, Buzz and Boomer. That's what I heard. 

think the CFL could benefit from a third preseason game?  Doesn't seem like two games is enough to  vet the newcomers and re-vet the veterans while allowing the undisputed starters to grind the rust off.
(though I bet the question isn't "can they benefit from it" I think the question is more "can they afford it?"  I can't see pre-season games being big money generators.)

I’m going to take it as a positive and say there’s going to be a lot of tough decisions to make, and they want to get the young players an extended look. 

Who's your QB1?  Rourke or Ford?
Brady starts at RB, naturally.
Five Canuck receivers: T Philpot, Demski, Emelius, Gittens Jr, K. Smith from Hamilton.  
I think Philpot is the best of these.  Sad that he got banged up last year, he was on a 1600-yard pace the first half of the year -- with Cody Fajardo throwing him the ball, no less -- and it seemed like he could not be covered.
Does anyone even play national offensive tackles anymore?

Some interesting numbers...
Medlock
2016 raw average 42.7 long 65 2 singles 1 punt return TD against 35.8 net
2017 raw average 43.7 long 85 2 singles 1 punt return TD against 35.9 net
2018 raw average 44.5 long 62 1 single 1 punt return TD against 37 net
2019 raw average 44.5 long 71 1 single 1 punt return TD against 37.5 net
 
Sheehan
2023 raw average 46.2 long 73 0 singles 0 punt return TD against 36.2 net
2024 raw average 44.4 long 70 0 singles 0 punt return TD against 36.2 net

Yeah yeah.  The feelings are hard.
Whole league is within 3 yards net on punts last season, 36-39 yards.  Everyone right around 10-11 yards per return, difference is a team like Toronto with Grant having a big play return every other game on average.
Edmonton 6 yards ahead of anyone else on net punting last year, but also highest net against.  Net exchange, barely positive.  Sask punted 25 times more than us last season, us and BC punting significantly less.
Yeah you want to be best in the league, but it's not like we have some giant deficiency.
We need a returner.

Funny thing about the complaining about kick returns as some kind of franchise curse is we have the most total return TD's and fewest return TD's scored on us among CFL teams in the past 10 CFL seasons.

HH to the goal post for continuing to deny Lauther's FG attempts

First off, **** the Riders and their ignorant redneck fans.
Second, Osh says won't be a problem to keep an American RB like Cooley. That's helpful.
Third, my goodness I love the CFL and am so excited to listen to a game again. Will watch the CFL+ replay tomorrow. 
Summer is here... Very excited for what I think is going to be a very good Bombers D. Hoping the O can be at least "decent" and we'll be a real "tough out" in 2025...

QBs looked a lot better than PS last year. Satisfied with their performance in general. Be nice to see some TDs on Friday. 
 
On post game show DT askes Mos whats next for this week. Mos is like, we will get the pads on them and do 2 a days couple times make them pop each other. Doug brown gets all excited and Mos says he's joking lol. Can get away with that any more. 

Riders Suck. Go Bombers.

A mother f***in game day... By gar, it's been awhile...
**** The Riders, and let's go Blue!!

Well the 2019 team was 3-5 with Streveler starting and 4-0 with Collaros starting.  So he had some impact.  D wasn't getting it done by themselves, they got smacked around pretty bad in majority of games after Nichols went down.
Probably don't get to any of the post-19 Grey Cups if you don't host the West Final.  Matt Nichols never hosted a West Final.  Buck Pierce, Kevin Glenn and Khari Jones hosted 1 East Final each.  Collaros has hosted 4.
Good to have some perspective.  The only comparison that will matter in the end is Dru Brown from 2024 on vs Collaros from 2024 on.

Yessir, 2 hours. I can't wait to set Doug up to rant about Collaros's suspension. He's going to light it on fire again!

So for Saturday's game, I am looking forward to seeing how they use Streveler and how he looks, Shay/Smith/J.Jones at linebacker, if any of our returners stand out and how the receivers not named Kevin, Nic and Dalton look.

Why is this thread still open?
NHL is dead to me.
Oh and Leafs suck.
 

Booch is in mid-season form. Vets don't need a training camp i guess.

That was Bloi-Dei Dorzon. He is a chef now.

Amen. thinking back to those brutal games last year when were rolling with Wheatfall, Johnson, Mitchell, and pre-lightbulb O. Wilson.  Zero chemistry with Zach.  Need that veteran out there.
