2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread
Doesn't make me mad (as Mike said)... but just really makes shakes my head.... I do not understand for the life of me what they see in him at this point in his career.... the team was ready to move from him when he was like 28... then he had a few good rotational seasons in him... and he's been just a waste of space for the past 2-3 seasons... I don't get it.... can't convince me a rotation of Lawson and Samson wouldn't be a significant improvement?

That's because there's no one singular reason/player... he was one piece of the puzzle ....

The RBs have two actual, legitimate running backs now... crazy strategy!

honest question... was his name ever on the list?... or just discussed around these parts?

I hope they do... we need an impact pass rusher and OT (MLB would be icing on the cake)... spend whatever it takes to get it!

Why doesn't @DTonOB 's list include Cole?... I know he spent a bunch of time on the IR but still played some

2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread
an injury waiting to happen and a special teamer.... two guys I would've been fine moving on from... all due respect... Wilson was a top OLB in the league a few years ago and Gauthier is one of the best STers we've had during the mafia era... these two have done great things for this team... but their times have passed...

refresh my memory... did Madani predict (or state unequivocally) that Campbell would become Edmonton's HC?

Most irksome moment of GC 2024- Why did they Stray from Brady?
I met Matt Sheridan through a work conference the winter after the 2007 Grey Cup... and he was more than happy to throw said "mystery lineman" under the bus when talking about the play that led to the Kevin Glenn injury...

woah, woah, woah... a little bit too much information 😅

Most irksome moment of GC 2024- Why did they Stray from Brady?
there was actually 16 seconds left in the half when the Bombers got the ball back... which is a significant difference... sorry to show up 2 months later with this comment... just took a break from this place after the GC and catching up on some threads now I do completely agree with your general sentiment though... except for me, it happened a few plays later when Zach threw that int... Bombers O hadn't been moving well and we needed a drive to get some momentum going into half... had the Bombers got the score to 13-6 or (dare I say) 17-6 at half... I think they would've got it done... that Int made me think "I've seen this show before" and they that just weren't going to get it done again

With Bourgoin going to BC... it all but guarantees our new OC will be an external hire... which could be a good thing... I like Jarious Jackson or one of the guys from Toronto - Can't-stand-ya or Miller (I also just think it would be fun to have two coaches named Mike Miller)....

disagree... Bombers winning any grey cup is the greatest CFL moment/highlight available... so that covers #1-12 greatest CFL plays of all time... #13 (ironically) would be this moment

Apparently? Is this sarcastic?.... it was probably the most talked about off-season story last year around these parts....

111th Grey Cup- Argos vs Bombers GDT
Last year I had this sick feeling in my stomach... "we can't possible lose to Fajardo"... the guy the Bombers D owned for about 10 straight games... but that sick feeling wouldn't go away... and sure enough, we did, in fact, lose to that bum... This year feels different... coming off a dominant West final (opposed to by last year) probably has a lot to do with it.... but I have a good feeling going into the game... The 9.5 point line is ridiculous.... there's some media trying to hype this up as a David vs Goliath... last time I checked David didn't defeat Goliath in 3 of 4 games including the last championship matchup... this game is even and I have a good feeling about our guys going into it.... we shall see

Riders at Bombers WF GDT
don't kid yourself... if a Bombers player did that, there would be some on here that would defend it... though I agree the vast majority would not condone it

2024 CFL Awards night
why would it pain you to say that?... of course a healthy, prime Bighill was SIGNIFICANTLY better than Jones... he is literally one of the best ever in his prime... You're letting the last couple years taint your memory of one of the all-time greats

not that this is unrealistic... but this sounds like a whole lot of speculation at this point...

I love Woli but I hope not... this reeks of Dalton/Bighill last year.... Clercious is a great fill in, don't mess with it now

I'm not an expert but I feel like some of your details may be slightly incorrect.... 8-9 is only 17 games... Ottawa would've hosted the EAST final

GREY CUP Thread
my guess is they don't overthink this and change up the game plan too much... generally they've been going with minimal pressure and making the QB sit in the pocket and find blanketed receivers... I'm a little surprised there hasn't been curfews in the past.... you may be right about some guys - let's call it - "losing focus" the past couple years

Damn… I was hoping for all argos across the board!
