Elgersma signing with Packers today. per 3Downnation

I haven’t seen anywhere that the BBs have actually signed Connor Shay. Is he participating in NFL tryouts, or is his signing just a formality prior to TC. Didn’t see him on the rookie camp list either. or maybe I’m just crappy at researching this.

Looks like he brought a whole pharmacy with him for the tests.

I don’t take a deep dive into prospects too much, but I’m ok with this draft. The only change I would have made is to draft Findlay over Smith in the 2nd round. It will be interesting to hear Walter’s comments on Elgersma. It seems they think he can be a bonafide CFL QB down the road.

BC forfeits their 1st and 2nd round draft picks for 2024 salary cap violations. $350K, wow!

O man not good. D Houston charged with domestic violence.

Lawler is great for the highlight reels but tough to get persistent production out of him. If Schoen is fully healthy I would take him over a healthy Lawler. I have a feeling we may see O Wilson back at least early in the season.

I had a bad feeling this might happen to Woli. Clercius did well enough in subbing for him while injured to get that NAT WR position I guess. Just guts me that Woli won’t be around. One of my favourite BBs.

Could tell you some stories of Andrew’s personal exploits while he was a Bomber and working for a car dealership in Wpg. Lesson learned: never hold theses guys up as paragons of morality.

A little surprised Bennett is retiring that young. Was kinda hoping he’d try out for the Bombers. Maybe he has just lost the desire to play.

Buck May be a better HC than OC and now he has his chance. Buck did some good things here, a little questionable play calling lately, but I wish him success except when plays against the Bombers.

Today I learned Brendan Taman was an assistant t GM in Ottawa. The extrabusiness in Subway restaraunts must be veritable boon for the local economy.

As much as I liked Buck in the past, I really see faults with his play calling lately. Ignores the best part of our offence and quite simply has no plan to adjust to the Argo defence. Let him go to BC to see if he is really HC material.

For a game I was worried about, the Bombers sure alleviated my fears. Aside from one drive Harris was totally ineffective. Top to bottom the best effort I’ve seen from them all year. Need one more like it for the GC.

Defence did its job well, no doubt. Certainly that was a game the Bombers could have won, but self inflicted wounds did them in.

The Bombers started to have some success when they went to shorter routes and quicker passes. Then Collaros fumbled while holding on to the ball too long. A fault with Collaros is his propensity to throw deep and hang on to the ball. Should have changed the game plan earlier if not for the whole game. Oline was dreadful and Buck got outcoached.

This game is over. Watching college ball now. BC is really tanking in the last half f the season.

Buck got outcoached in addition to the oline underperforming.

No doubt TO has been inconsistent and it still baffles me how they lost to Hamilton 3 times. I agree Bombers had blown opportunities but the way the oline was dominated is very concerning to me.

Let’s be honest about the big picture here. During the 8 game win streak we weren’t exactly beating the cream of the crop in the CFL. BC and Sask are mediocre, Elks are bad and Hamilton varies between the 2. East has the better teams this year. Any west team in the GC will be in tough and have to play their best game of the season to win it.

The oline was garbage all night both in pass protection and run blocking. When they finally went shorter quicker passes the had some success. Collaros still hangs on to the ball too long and they needed to adjust earlier than the 2nd half.

Bombers did this to themselves. I can’t blame the refs for the spot as it didn’t seem clear to me that Collaros made it to the marker. Let’s not be like Rider fans and blame every loss on the refs or the CC. it was Collaros fumble and Castillo misses that ultimately cost us the game (plus the oline sucking donkey balls).

Oline was pwned tonite. Just garbage. Collaros has to throw the ball away instead of taking sacks.

With that loss both Edm and Calgary are eliminated. No crossovers this year.

Easy to see why Elks are were they are.
