Honestly, I think there’s a couple different angles that show Walter’s and co were the ones that truly ****** this up. We were good because A: The front office went balls deep in FA over 2016-19. Harris, Prime (or close to it) Bighill and Jefferson, Rose, etc Also did a good job bringing in spare parts from other teams who had value (Nick Taylor, Darby, Maston) which we don’t really do anymore. B: We had guys from the Rigmaiden/Craig Smith pipeline coming through until 2021. (Lawler, Jeffcoat, Alford, Nichols to name a few.) Not sure if it lines up exactly with Rigmaiden leaving but the American scouting started to drop a dook after 2022 and never really recovered. We just kept letting good players walk and replacing them with nothing and nobody. The DT spot is a microcosm. Let Stove walk, replace with slightly worse Sayles. Let Sayles walk, replace with slightly worse Ricky Walker, let him go and so on. Drafting has generally sucked too. No real impact players over the last 4 seasons. Now we just draft maybe 1 OL, a slower WR or 2 and a bunch of Jessie Briggs reincarnations per year.

Agreed. Like AHAB, he will go down with his creation. I can foresee him threatening to quit if forced to cut or sit players he is emotionally committed to. If so, who does Walters get to replace him on short notice?

Kolo...kramdi...Thomas...sterns...case...prob even Wallace...Bridges...T.Jones be hard pressed to start...punter guy...Korn prob doesn't make a roster.... Yup... I honestly had my doubts he was a good coach....leader and influencer...no doubt...but in pro ranks that will wane too....he had success when he finally got good assistants and a stacked roster...wedged between seasons when he doesn't...well it's touch and go You been reading my mind lol

Amazing with your absence you can pin point most our issues...good observations And alot of our wins glossed over the issues...will say it again...we won despite our inadequacies...and it's finally caught up and we need major fixes as opposed to tweeks

Jones and Kramdi are good depth on a championship team.

Hey. I haven't posted here for years. Nice to be back. I'm afraid guys like Thomas, Jefferson, Bridges, Tony Jones, Kolankowski, Kramdi and a few others are not the solution. It seems other teams are more than willing to make changes when necessary but we are not. Sure...many will say that pro coaches know more than fans that have more than casual knowledge but I can't help but think that it's obvious after being beat twice by 5-1 Calgary that changes are very necessary. Why sign J.Jones and not play him? Also, Person couldn't be worse than Willie, and Griffin is a baller whom I believe is under used. He could slide into Kramdi's spot or replace Bridges easily. Maybe Ayers could slide into Kramdi's spot because his coverage at times is suspect considering how long he has been on this defence. I know. I'm not a coach...but my knowledge is more than a casual fan. Our O-line, D-Line and Linebackers are not good enough and some like Booch spoke of this while we were winning...and then there's the QB's and receivers. Demski can't do it all, so why isn't Mitchell starting?? We signed him to start! Collaros...Strev...we all saw this coming. We're a bit screwed right now to be honest. No ones giving us anything so maybe we need to reconsider some guys we released, back ups on the roster, PR, and...yes.. trades. But... I think we will status quo because the truth is, our Coach is incredibly stubborn.

Vaj didn't even look on the throw, he just heaved it to a spot where he thought his receiver should be. Bridges I honestly feel like gave up because he thought vaj was just throwing it away.

I’ve been saying for a few years now that the days of O’Shea being a good coach have come and gone. He was good when we captured lightning in a bottle and had the exact kind of team he needed to have in order to succeed, but he sucked before that and he’s sucked since. Not adaptable whatsoever. Not willing to take a long hard look in the mirror. Just trying to recapture the magic that disappeared 3 years ago over and over and wondering why he can’t do it, but it’s okay because he will next week.

How many of our "starters" would be starters on other teams. You're never going to have best at each position but I think we have too many who are closer to the bottom.

Bombers have their kids combine on Monday. Maybe they can find some bodies for the d line meat grinder there. They would come cheap tol

I agree with you I’m just reminding us that’s not how he rolls and he’s the guy in charge.

That one play where he spun away ,and found a wide open Alford ,how do you defend that? Was a hell of a play. Gotta give credit ,where credit is due ,guys. The Stamps are real,to quote our man Tait. But they exposed glaring weaknesses ,Does Kyle and Co.have the cajones to make the hard choices? History says no....

Many here lol Agree...They perfect rotational and in game injury depth guys...not defacto starters

Yeah his presser after the game sure as hell didn't inspire confidence......how long will Kyle and Wade let this clown rule......

I don't think oshea counts as many... Here's the thing with those two... they're OK and you can use guys like that... but they shouldn't be the untouchable mainstays like they seem to be. We got far far too many of those guys on the team now.

Yeah those quotes there are damning... tsn showed multiple times how vaj was just rolling away from wherever the pressure was going to come from and not having to worry about getting hit. There were a few plays they did get some pressure... but not enough to make life uncomfortable for vaj.

par for course tho...and hence...no changes required moving forward

no...he still played....Person got 5 snaps Osh is not a good coach whether anyone believes it or not....Maybe he should be handed the "culture curator guy" role and someone else take control we dont need depth "they are all starters"...and "they in the building cause they give us a chance to win"...what you talking bout depth....DEPTH?!!?...lol yeah sad part is we have guys who just could be the real deal....if anything will be aggressive and full of fire and spit....but good luck they get a chance...so we will never know Just look at CGY....Total turnover on defence...and they whooped are arse 2 straight games...with all our savvy glue and continuity....

Wooooooww. That’s delusional af.

yeah case is just an average run of the mill unspectacular guy...if thats our best "depth" piece we need some serious work...he did nothing to earn a spot....looked the same as last yr...and in 2 T.C's....hard pass as much as many love T.Jones and Kramdi....neither are starter quality and have gapping holes in their game...thos are 2 prime examples of guys who would be top notch "depth" guys.....Too bad Osh doesnt see it that way...I'm not for getting rid of them but they arent starters

u deserve to get really drunk my friend...I feel for you

Its an ongoing problem...and like I mentioned too many guys are wayyyy to comfortable knowing they will not get yanked...let alone sat a game or 2....but thats what's needed here if for anything to see what we have....and or put some fire back in the belly of some these mainstays.....or if the "depth" can actually play and if not then get some that can....It also goes for Osh.....he has no fear of anything/job security himself so just does his thing with not a care in the world. He is slowly ruining a real good team that was gifted to him for 2019-2022 whether people wanna believe it or not with how he's handling things...and how he coaches/what he thinks is important...past success aside he should in now way be safe ....and not held accountable from above...now way in hell 2 games now have been basically over by mid 3rd quarter....did we see back-ups in to actually get reps not in the pointless last 2 mins of a game?....nope Did he pull loafers/dumb penalty guys/underperformers ?....nope Did he practice the 2 point convert on late TD's in each game so we had live reps for when it might really matter?....nope Did he practice the onside kick for the same purpose...live rep practice?....nope He added an actual rush end for a dline that was again getting no pressure or push and to keep the 2 30+ guys fresh....nope...not gonna say 5 reps was useful rostering Did he do any savy gambles.....challenges....use of rules afforded to him...nope, tho he did use 1 challenge but coulda pulled it outta his shorts again Did he have answers to anything going on during the game....and in questions afterwards?...nope Is he gonna make any significant changes for next game that an injury doesn't dictate?...not likely and based on his post game babble he aint changing anything on how they do busines Related to the last point...coming off a bye,,....where we just played a team...watched more film on them last week and should have been prepared....healthy.....motivated and coached up...were we??....again nope That my friend's and colleagues is poor coaching....piss poor really....and the beat goes on...status quo we will roll...and likely to 4th place and outta play-offs Yes there a lotta season left and we are 3-2....but this has been season's in the making...the erosion...country club attitude...the belief things will work out and not truly coaching up the team...based on looking backward and not forward...failing to land any significant free agent because we don't know when...how...or where to upgrade, and this insistence on not putting the best team we could on the field game in or game out...or at least trying to find the right pieces we may have in-house, so all is not lost....yrt....but a lot needs to happen for the season to turn around....and be succesful at the end .....we shall see how it goes But hate to say I told you so....but......we almost there....flame on me all you want but it is what it is...and was totally avoidable

Being in the stands for this one really gave me 2013 vibes. Beautiful stadium full of fans ready to party and the team just doesn't even show up. So disappointing.

I think he’s been good against the run, but nobody is generating any pressure.

Yeah Willie is just completely done at this point.
