2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
I just grimace even thinking of Buck in green AND dragging Brown along with him, standing on their sidelines....Selfish....yup....I'm a Bomber fan first and only want what's best for the club....Buck will have his day ...I'm just glad it wasn't with that turdy outfit

Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros
Sometimes there is non-so blind as those who will not see.....I never liked apologists for inadequacy and I believe we have some in our midst

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
When it's all said and done....and it appears to be the case, Buck dodged a bullet by either passing it up orrrr being runner up....Who the hell wants to go to that mess....AND IF it's true Bombers added a little incentive for him to stay here , all the better...O'Daisy is skating on thin ice over there himself...and Buck would have been skating along with him....Nothing like continuity for the club AND we have a lot of work to do to get us back to the promised land....Pierce will and can get us there I beileve he's the heir apparent when Osh decides to pull the pin ....You just never know when Mike O might/will pull the pin...CFL moves in strange ways sometimes

Not going to help Buck much when your suggested qb. is flat on his ass most of the time because of a porous O Line....Something I hope Buck is mulling over carefully IF he decides to sign on there....Big uphill for anyone signing there

So you are finally admitting that roster management was a contributing factor to our Cup loss.....Well that's a start ....I think the percentage is a lot higher BUT I'll accept that....I would like to say that 'contributing factor 'could have been avoided and was the difference in a Cup win and a Cup loss....Also it should never have occurred in a game of that importance....

Yup.....loyal to a fault....you can only hope that fault doesn't turn into a chasm

Can't ever see Buck going to work for a weak gm, who according to a lot of green fans should have been turfed along with Dickie boy...Hardly a situtation I would want to go/get into considering what we have in the Peg.....BUT his choice and he is one of the finalists....Mace seems the more likely candidate as defensive minded is more what riders should be seeking....

Right on Booch.....Doug Brown was quoted as saying if you as a team are not evolving and changing you are stagnant....Stagnation means you will fall by the wayside ...I don't like that scenario and although continuity has it's advantage....you have to be continuing with younger and better in some instances....Football 101

3 scape goats roster management editor
Exactly ....handing yourself a handicap by playing 2 injured players made NO sense ....and was nonsense

Yeah ...whatever happened to smiley Burris as their top dog....After all the guy now has nfl pedigree

But as you get older Fatty...it gets harder and harder every year to patch those cracks (you should know that) One day you're going to hit the wall....Hope it's not next year as far as Zack is concerned

For cripes sake ....has anyone forgotten who Buck and the other defectors would be working for...That would be O'Daisie who has been the author of Regina's last few years of futility....Can't see any of the guys mentioned wanting to go down that road BUT money talks ...We'll see

Then watch Brown become a star somewhere else...(zacks words that he will be one) while Collaros game goes into natural decline
-
Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros
I've witnessed this type of decline in a player, quite a few times over my 60 plus yrs. of watching performances in this league....Is Zack the same guy who took us to 2 Cups ???I would say not after the results of the last 2....Was it all on Zack...I would say no, but there's certainly a big question mark about his performances in the last 2....Is there enough decline to replace him as the no 1 on this club??? Don't see it yet but the cracks are there....I think more shared pivot duties are around the corner for him AND keeping Brown as that qb. would be the way to proceed in the future...Zack seems to have all of the faith in the world in Dru Brown after hearing his praise for the guy...I believe Collaro's game will eventually give way to the natural progression of Brown becoming a bona-fide no 1...I hope the team decides to go in that direction

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
Yeah.....it's not an easy to swallow this latest Cup loss....I had a buddy call me the other day and I just went numb when he came out with'''''hey what happened to the Bombers' ....Just said 'call me later...kinda busy right now'....That was right after the game, and in our next conversation I told him I've since moved on....Denial is one way of coping I guess.....I just try to get it out of the way as quickly as possible

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
Hey....I'm just trying to put that crap end behind us as quickly as possible...Hearing something positive for cripes sake ain't exactly asking a lot.....BUT I see the point of being a little quick on the draw ....guess I'm not one to belabour misery....Time to move on

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
Speaking of Walters when do we hear about his future here or anywhere else....I know Osh says he 'expects' him to be back...Expecting and actually re-signing are two different things....I wonder what the delay is??.It would be nice to hear something more definite, after taking another Cup loss, and a lot up in the air concerning the club

Which Vets do we cut next season
Brady O will definitely get a raise ...but 250 thousand somalians is a helluva crunch....I doubt any team in this league will go down that road
-
Which Vets do we cut next season
Gettin there is half the fun....Where have I heard that one before lol....Seriously ....we need to look closely at the roster and part ways with some of the 'overthehill' gang....I know loyalty and continuity are important BUT if you can sign younger and cheaper we really have to look at that direction...I don't know if we could make Streve work for us ...he may have other ideas but worth a look,...I say everything should be on the table and I know damn well tough decisions are going to have to be made....Anyway it's a looooong off season
-
Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros
yeah.....the loyalty factor can only go so far.....Those decisions to play injured players hurt this club in the most important game of the year.....The coach will have to wear that one
-
Which Vets do we cut next season
like we definitely really ...really mean it this time.....no foolin' around we're really serious ...Sounds about right.....I think we're going to be 'whistling past the graveyard' in 24' and hope like hell we can put together a respectable team after the house cleaning
-
Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros
Let's face it....the biggest concern is the 'fall off' in Zacks game...He isn't the qb. of a couple of years ago....The most important position on the club has to be addressed.....IF we let Brown walk in fa without letting him know he's considered to be the guy in waiting , then we deserve the bleak future that will be awaiting us....In any event remaining status quo is not going to cut it here anymore....Tough decisions are on the horizon and I would clearly luv to hear what is the future of one, Kyle Walters, with regard to his future and intentions with the club...We need to set this straight immediately and IF we're going to be in the market for a new GM, we better get on it....Also Buck Pierce's status with club should also be forthcoming as well....Lot's of work to do
-
Which Vets do we cut next season
you can see the cracks now,,,,It's going to be quite a trick to keep our solid vets around and start a youth movement at the same time....Guys like Cole, Haba and Fox were a start this year BUT we obviously didn't do enough
-
Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros
.......When you are in the redzone and come away with three's, in a game of this magnitude, it will come back to haunt.....It appeared they wanted the Cup more than we did....Even though Zack had 250 passing yds. , it didn't result in tds., which we usually could have counted on in meaningful games....Was it all on Zack???no but the roster management has to be questioned....It finally bit us in the ass
