Good teams win close games and bad teams lose them.

Couldn't care less if he never speaks to us again, but he needs to do something to the roster he created. It is garbage. A HC doesn't come to a GM with a list of players from around the league, He may describe what he wants in a player but who is signed is on the GM ONLY!!!!!!! MOS did not hand pick any of our FA busts this year. MOS did not bring in any of garbage import DL we have been bringing in since Rigmaiden left. ALL ham n' eggers. You want so badly for MOS to be fired you are creating fictional scenarios where he is the puppet master and KW is Pinocchio. When it comes to our lack of talent on the roster it falls squarely, and SOLELY, on the GM. FULL STOP. The GM builds the roster. How it is employed and used (starting a RB at QB) is on the HC. When you see a roster that is so poor in depth like ours, you can't blame the coach for that. You can blame him for how he uses that roster, gameplan, etc. etc., but not talent level.

I agree. Most of it is on Walters for not providing any kind of acceptable level of backup QB, but MOS needs to get a guy out of the game that doesn't complete his second pass until the 4th Q. At some point yesterday he needed to make the change.

Thanks Bob. Bet he's under fire in Ottawa.

Walters is always quite...even in the 2 cup yrs...and its a 2 headed monster...him and Osh...and to think otherwise is foolish Hc always conveys type of player wanted...who he may want targeted in free agency and G.m and his team and HC will have multiple sessions together to all get on same page You get the odd outlier guy a scout team may bring in who just fell in their lap...or is just too good to not bring in but for most part coach has Lotta say in what he wants...and in the end is the guy who decides who stays...who goes Also the stubborn rigid ratio allocation is doing us no help...we don't flip or adjust it in any way to make us better...and that's poor roster management With the Bombers you play 3 oline guys...2 recievers...1 rb...and a DT....but then over do it with a SAM...another DT...at times safety...for no reason whatsoever We obviously pass on cdn talent in FA where we don't play a Canadian and instead of grabbing a top guy and bettering ourselves..and change the ratio...we say pass...and continue plugging in sub par guys in the usual spot...and dont upgrade said canadian talent....and in those spots...DT for example you could play legit import talent there...and be sigficantly better... Our rigid approach is just dumb and isnt doing us any favors....

Surprised he didn't know it would be this way. Maybe he did. A lot of it has to do with inflated egos. Young & inexperienced assistants watching from the outside in on the sidelines & thinking they could do better. In reality, a lot of these guys find out there are situations they never dreamd of having to deal with as head coaches that they never did as assitants. The presssure to win is very high. Some guys do well undr those conditions & others wilt from it all.

We need that look on our sideline...if we being honest with ourselves Look how his players play for him too...intense...all out...high octane...that aint happening here with how hum smuggie face and his country club setting They are across board better than us really....and may still surpass us this yr...if we go status quo again in 2026...they will Id take him over any qb we trot out...and for me saying that says something...and is quite telling

yep. did it with an incredible D and supporting cast.

Strev has value actually...in right role His running is coming around and if no set back next yr..Will be back to what it was... We need a legit QB 1 next yr...and a guy at 2 we either groomed...or someone else did and they play backup QB 3 in Canada is a moot wasted spot and nobody develops there..perfect for Strev...he can be your short yardage guy...used in wildcat...play TE...Slot...out of backfield...cover teams...and have packages for him like the 2019 run Dude is an athlete...ultimate team guy...a leader...respected...will do anything for team....so use that wasted QB3 spot for a multi use guy. The naysayers about his running ability not like it was....well duhhhhhh...think about it That being said...its getting closer to where it was...and will get there And if we were to cut him today...hed be picked up immediately and whatever team grabbed him would be using him in all kinds of way...garuanteed You can win not throwing with right personel and proper offensive scheme Go watch some Army games... We'd have to dump OC guy tho cause our guy can't design his way out of a wet paper bag...nor be able how to convey how to actually execute a triple option type offence....JJ could tho With right guys you could run that all day in tempo and kill a defence...and gambling on 3rd and 4 or less would be high success rate

And hes done this all time...and in grey cups we lost...And not just with QBs They do not

"We won because we prevented Terry Wilson from seeing the field and possibly throwing more then 9 passes. " - Noeller & 17to85

I would assume that the % chance of us winning games with him throwing very little would be well below 50%. Throwing only 3 completions has to be something ridiculously low like 10%....

They've played hard for most of the season, they are trending in the right direction that is for sure.

Edm losses two in a row on last minute drives with walk off FG's. They are really close to being a winning team.

I'd ask Lapo, sure but is it sustainable in a passing league like the CFL? And a side question, I'm wondering how the receivers going into a game enjoy/prep for a QB who aint going to throw?

We won cuz Ottawa couldn't kick a 40 yard FG and Brown overthrew 2 receivers to Allen who was playing centre field.

Yup he's aged right in front of our eyes. He's quickly realized being the man comes with a price.

We need to change our name to the "Winnipeg Rugby Club", as we don't do forward passes. The good news is that Strev only has to play until 2095 to break Calvillo's passing record.

Good morning. But maybe he has that mentality F*** everybody else. A w is a w?

I'll say it's definitely curious that we haven't heard anything from Walters in what feels like months....usually there's at least one mid season presser and with the team not looking great lately, you'd think he'd have said something ...

Yes Lapo was talking about Strev specifically... Was just pointing out that it's possible to win with him throwing very little because they'd done it before.

Yesterday, we threw the ball a total of 8 times, we had 3 completions (one of which was a forward 5 inch toss to Dillon Mitchell) and an interception. Why? Two reasons. Our OC sucks, and our QB doesn't threaten any defence with his arm. Ottawa took the only throws Strev can consistently make away (and very simply I might add) because he cannot throw anything outside the hashmarks, to the intermediate and deep zones with any form of consistency. He is an awful passer. There is not getting around that, he should not be a QB in the CFL anymore. He is a gadget player and that's fine if he could successfully do that still but he can't. If we sign him again that GM should immediately lose his job. For those wondering if WIlson can do better? Yes, he can. Two reasons. The First is he couldn't do worse. The second he is an actual QB whose arm you have to respect because he can make every throw on the field. Streveler can't, and never could, but we were able to successfully use him in the past because the D always had to respect his play action. Now they just run blitz him and he is screwed.

Jackson prob can throw better than Streveler can so honestly what can an OC do when the QB is garbage. Run the ball. It’s what they did and won running the ball. I mean what exactly is Streveler strength? It’s not passing the ball more than 7 yards. ? Cuz that’s what it appears. He can run and that’s it so they ran and ran Ana ran and ran and ran and Streveler had 10 carries for 36 yds and a TD but also 1 more carry for 36 yards. So 11 for 72. 3 of 8 for 54 passing. (Good average completion but … less than 1 completed pass per quarter. Dru brown had more completions on the first drive. so what can he do? what’s this game plan that doesn’t exist for a qb who can’t pass look like. Run? Cuz that’s what they did.

But yesterday when it mattered and we needed to put Ottawa away, we did. We ran the ball and ran the ball and ran the ball but we did. The O moved the ball when they needed. yup fgs but when you have a qb who can’t throw and he completes 3 passes all game but you win, can you really complain about anything other than the qb who can’t throw. If Streveler wants he can be Damian Jackson. Convert him to FB for next season. Why not right. I mean. If he’s healthy he can still run cuz he looked good running a few times yesterday. Honestly. Convert Strev to FB. I mean 3 completed passes is basically like playing without the QB so. Why not. Wilson can hand off to Brady and Strev. If I’m O’Shea I consider this next week if Zach isnt healthy. Maybe Wilson can throw 10 times tho. But start Wilson and roster Strev as the FB and have Wilson hand the ball off 30 times to Brady Strev Peterson etc. Demski.
