I was at the Bomber Store today and asked someone when the locker room sale would be happening...the guy said it happened a couple of weeks ago?!!

I am flummoxed, I did not hear a single thing about it. I am very disappointed to have missed it. How did you get notified about it? I didn't get any emails and I check my spam folder regularly. I'm an sth so I do get regular emails from the team.

Just gona leave this here... For the Fam For The W

Love Chris Streveler, but he's not starting QB material, can't throw accurately enough, not sure about his ability to read defenses. Was a great piece to an offensive scheme that combined his running ability with Collaros's passing, but once Collaros goes down, or has a bad game, Streveler can't handle the #1 QB job.

Bombers have to be held accountable for depending on luck to keep that combo working. Streveler was abused in one home game this year when he and Oliviera carried the complete rough-housing offensive load. I believe Collaros was out that game. When Collaros goes down -- or proves human and can't be his usual outstanding consistent self - Bombers are extremely vulnerable to offensive collapse. Later in the year Streveler takes an illegal low hit and goes down, destroying the offensive combo scheme plan. Better find a legit backup next year, most of the league knows we've only been one serious injury to Collaros from a losing season for many years now.

Overall -- great team culture and player development, good management, sell-out fanbase, five years of mostly winning. Hopefully most of the core remains. Getting home field advantage for Grey Cup 2025 is there for the taking. Collaros will be hungry, but let's also have him tutor some serious QB talent. We've found quality and depth for almost every other position, why not at QB. I spent time at training camps, didn't get excited by any red-shirted newbie pivots over last few years, at all. But scores of non-NFL candidates are out there bred annually by the huge American college factory, and traditionally our scouts have had sharp eyes and good instincts -- for every other position.

In the Cup, solely because we don't have a reliable QB replacemnt, we stuck with an injured Colloras (his throwing finger deeply gashed, just ten minutes ago, stitched, numbed and gloved) for two killer interceptions. Toronto's head coach Dinwiddie saw Colloras poor return form on the Bomber sidelines and realized the game was theirs. Meanwhile efficient journeyman backup Nike Arbucle conquered Bomber's formidable defensve with professionol cool.

As much as personal sacrifice for team cohesion (FIFO fit in or f___ off) has been a winning Mantra for the tough BIg Blue, and footbal is a team game and coach Mike O'Shea has practised as a player what he preaches-- we also need excecptional professional talent. How about Trevor Harris, Tre Ford, M.bethel Thomas, V. Adams (trade), Masoli, Dustin Crumb, Jake Meier plus several experienced QB others. This has been our achilles heel in my opinion, preventing us from relieving Collaris when he's off his game, or replacing him when his throwing hand is freshely stitched, numbed and wrapped in a never-before-tried desensitizing soft glove, in the Grey Cup. Talk about the tream tempting fate, and it arrived leaving us defenceless by design.

Just wondering, if we had won the GC in ‘19 then lost in 21 and 22 but won in 23 before losing this year (or any other order where we win 2 of 5), would you feel better, worse, the same?

Personally I don’t think it would’ve changed too much for me, but I guess I could see how the 2 in a row to begin the stretch starts the whole ‘Dynasty’ conversation that maybe doesn’t happen and wouldn’t have clouded the losses as much.

I think if it had been reversed, and we lost 3 straight and won the last 2 the first three losses would’ve been unbearable. I don’t know if the team even wins the last 2 in that scenario. I guess it would feel great today, but going 3 years in the big game without winning would’ve been extremely frustrating! Especially if they were as close as the Montreal and first Argo loss were.

Regardless 5 straight championship appearances and 2 victories is a remarkable achievement. Here’s hoping that the team can make it 6 in a row and get another trophy for the case next year!

Thoughts?
