Whoever is coaching us next year is in for a pretty major overhaul. We only got the last playoff spot this year because the Elks started the wrong QB at the beginning of the year. Assuming Faj-jj is back, we're looking at 5th in the west next year with the current roster.

Tbh, I get letting all 3 walk. I would’ve done the same. I only would’ve given lawler more when the cap went up. Those decisions look bad in hindsight, but they were rough over pays. Just like Fords over pay in edmonton looks bad now. I do agree all decisions reflect on the gm. Even if they were sound choices at the time. The biggest damning decision by walters, is not going out and actually replacing those guys with quality. Even if you can’t replace all those spots with similar guys or better, pick one or two and spend to replace with an appropriate level free agent. Trade and recruit for the rest. Instead we ended up trying to fill all those and many other spots with just recruiting. Which failed miserably. (and the even worse quantity over quality fa spend on wrs) Mos put us in a position where the recruits didn’t even get good development or chances to showcase. No one’s hands are clean. I think walters has the ability to be better going forward, I don’t have faith in mos to improve. Especially given his coaching staff choices. Aside from JY, it’s been too many bad replacements.

Unless the player has shown repeatedly as uselss (looking at you- Kolankowski and Thomas) , let him come to camp and earn his spot in an open, honest competition.

Maybe a case could be made for kids who played cis ball, but the borderline canadians who played ball in the states aren’t different from imp rookies. Which I mean we took a db out of what division 3 a few years ago and the falcons seems to think it isn’t a problem after he started his whole rookie year. We started many a rookie canadian ol in the first year here as well with mos. We started corcoran in the play offs too. As Peterson took over in his first pro game then started the next what 2? Did pretty good too. Im not saying you’re wrong about what he said, I fully believe he said that and even believes it. It just doesn’t match the reality of what he’s done. And what’s worked tbh.

Soooo....a typical Rider fan?

There is plenty of room on the gibbet for three.

Fortunately I have access to a crystal ball and it shows 2026 - 2029 to answer your question. I can't help it that I really despise this team but go CFL!

I read somewhere yesterday that the Bombers have an offer on the table for him, and told him to field as many other offers as he wants, but to come back and talk and they'd be waiting.

Well that's part of it. Is it more of that or is it more sustained like he created here?

When has Toronto ever been down for more than a year or two?

Jeff Hamilton of the WFP was on Winnipeg Sports Talk today. Sure sounded like from what he's heard the Bombers brass (Miller) wants Osh to stay. Hope he's wrong.

Austin was a complete disaster in Hamilton and the only other time he's been in charge was a one season stint. He's also 65 years old.

because of course it is

with 2023 and 2024 in the que Say or Smith wouldnt have been a huge difference maker....but wouldnt have hurt us either, and would have been so much further in development for 2026 tho, the larger issue was it would have allowed another import elsewhere...say a legit Dline man to delete Thomas....an Imoport olineman todelete Kolo....a true legit WR threat You cant look at the thing just player vs player....it affected the entirety of the roster...a poorly crafted one for us in regards toassetts/value/worth....and coupled with his insistance to not vary from his rstio allotment....just handcuffed us more

The team D does not exist. Jets look nothing like last years team.

what if ish said he didnt want them....or valued crap like Kolo...Thomas and money they sucked up as more important...is the G.M to do opposite of what HC wanted?...That would be dysfunctional....or if HC pited and stommped his feet at direction GM wanted...again dysfunctional...either way...no good and one had to go....and just based on what we witnessed with game decisions...who was rostered and played more....dumb move in games....playing hurt guys....not using Natioilzed rule....playing more Canadians than needed, when some were inferior than a Import....pretty apparent the major issue here became Osh.....and yeah Walter's was weak, and should have done something more...Or maybe they tried and Osh just was Osh...so plan was regardless after season if he got another offer or not...was gonna be gone? Enabling Osh to slither away ego intact?...who knows....but we can all agree we need change Running back 2026 as status quo...same people in place....we will be a 5th place squad Yeah...roster aside, or what was made available...Osh picked poorer players over better/younger upside guys....rarely allowed any young guy to get reps and acclimated/experince...or even push a guy off the starter spot to make the roster deeper and stronger.....while he rode guys into the dirt till there was zero tread left, or became limited due to injury and then had no viable guy to plug in they trusted or had any film on to feel good about playing them, and had to trot out injured guys further hamstringing the game day roster, all the while claiming they "all stater quality/number 1's) How that is any of Walters fault is hard to comprehend, and if he pulled the trigger mid-season this yr many...well most here would claim what an error that was ....Walter's biggest gaff was not pulling trigger after the 2024 Grey Cup loss and why we lost it...poor rostering...poor in-game decisions....and that was 3 yrs running Time to look forward now and at the positive aspect....we aren't rebuilding...or coming from a place where we started with Osh in 2013 that was an utter dupster fire...we in a good place....just need a new driver...we will be fine

I don’t want a repeat of this past season where washed vets get free passes so if that means Osh going to Toronto then so be it. This is where we find out truly how much was Osh and how much Kyle. Part of me hopes Kyle stays now and shows us that Osh was the problem. I’m not convinced the talent has been there the past couple training camps but maybe it was and just not played. I have some faith in brock sunderland to find talent cuz certainly did for Edmonton.

So to continue my unhealthy and illogical focus on one player who only played a very small part in our regression this 2025 year, if JT leaves with MOS and we only play with 11 players it would be like he never left.

Especially with a guy like Chad Kelly there (although I get the feeling his time there is done). MOS loves the high character guys and Kelly is probably the furthest thing from that in the league right now.

That would be ideal (if he actually leaves) With our luck it would probably be Brady, Holm and Younger

Jake, Kolo, Hogan all need to go with MOS IF he leaves.

If he leaves I'm more interested in how TO does over all. Maybe not year 1, but 2 and 3 for sure. That ultimately will be a tell of how things went down this year.

Yup, 6 downtown businesses have been hit in the last few months. Could be both a serial arsonist/drug addict but it could very well be extortion. Police believe at least 2 were targeted attacks (video shows molotov cocktails being used) rather than a random incident.

I dont know. There's been a ton of these restaurant fires lately and it sure smells like a serial arsonist and/or extortion.

I think there will be a mass exodus to follow him wherever he goes.... But it remains to be seen if that isn't necessarily a good thing.
