I played, not pro, but high level ball in the US. Never once did any of my team mates ever view a winning season as a failure. I can honestly say that to a man NONE did because we got rid of those kind of poor character guys in training camp. So don't give us that bullshit. Every single guy went to war with each other each of those years and are proud of them. You saying otherwise either shows that as a player you had a piss poor attitude that likely was the reason you couldn't stick in the pros, or you are completely full of **** about that in the first place. Quit talking like you da man and have some kind of deeper insight into how a football team operates. You don't. Sick of this bullshit on your part already. You don't speak for every pro player out there and how they think. You only speak for how YOU might view it, and like I said that would get you an awfully short pro resume.

Playing dolegala wasn’t gonna result in us winning. I mean this stuff is ridiculous cuz it’s in the past so you all can always be like well we would have won if we did what I wanted to do but there’s really no way to prove that so it’s just a cycle of going back in history over and over to prove points that can’t be proven. we lost. The other team won. That’s what happens in 1 game winner take all finals. But but the coach…. What about the ******* guys playing tho? I mean damn O’Shea throwing interceptions and dropping balls and missing fgs. Honestly. At what point is it actually on the players playing the game.

Well hey. We gonna get another draft pick to waste.

I literally think this is true lol. He probably lurks my moniker and giggle's and guffaws when i slobber away at JT’s ‘skill set’. Whatever i can do to help Mr. O’Shea.

Our DL besides Willie didn’t have the chops in that game at all. OL didn’t play well either. Agree there was bad roster management but Toronto was still the more talented team in the trenches imo. It showed in the game we lost to themhere late last season too.

yeah but Houston doesn't qualify as a bomber vet as he's only played 2 games for us this year. As far as the depth chart, I think OShea just lists JT as a starter to piss off people on this forum.

Apparently he had surgery that removed part of his colon, leaving him with a ;

For most Blue Bomber fans, the frustration comes from losing games (including Grey Cup games) when a few obvious changes would have won those games but our head coach was too damned stubborn to make those changes.

100% this. Nobody really talks about how good the Bills had to be in order to go to 4 straight Super Bowls - they just talk about the Bills losing those games because at the end of the day, that's what matters.

We do but apparently he hasn't genuflected enough yet.

how was 24 not a blown oppourtunity? The rival team's starting QB broke his leg the game before and they started a scrub. O'shea had horrible roster management and decisions. Again, self-inflicted.

Except O’Shea has repeatedly said his veterans don’t need to practice.

Parker is gonna get hurt again anyways. He plays a game then gets hurt. The cycle repeats. Personally I think he’s been terrible even when healthy and I’d be dressing Houston also because past history suggests Parker will be injured again. Plus Houston is just better than Parker. I get they like JP. He stuck around when hurt and immersed himself into learning the playbook and all sorts of other stuff, they like him, it’s a nice story there, overcoming being out a year really but unfortunately he’s not good enough anymore. He’s looked lost when playing. Go back Early season he was not good at all, corners sucked until basically Houston and Lawson jr were brought in. Parker played corner a few games. Wasn’t an upgrade.

how about he missed too many practices this week, and they thought Parker would be better prepared.

Maybe the family issue Houston thought was good when he came back, turned and he had to leave again? Not necessarily a conspiracy or underlying concern.

Besides the clusterfuck that was Legg’s 2022 season, I’d argue we did have the lineup to win in 2022. Couple drops by the WRs, missed XP, blocked field goal and that bloody godamn interception by Prukop was what ruined it.

Likely O'Shea and the old "cant lose your job to an injury" garbage mantra.

Oh wow, really strange they’d take him off then. I can’t see an on field reason for it, he’s been great.

ugh...wtf

Kinda weird. This was from Ed Tait's article a couple days ago: Of note from today: CB Demerio Houston was back in Winnipeg after missing two days with what he called a ‘family emergency.’ “Luckily the team was able give me that time to be with my family,” said Houston. “Now I’m back and ready for this upcoming game. “… I know home is good and that’s the reason why I’m back. I’m just worried about making sure I do whatever it is I need to do to help the team win this weekend.”

Streveler

If we'd lost those grey cup games by just getting beaten (like last year) that's one thing, but when you lose the previous 2 because you put a suboptimal lineup out there it is much much harder to take.

Houston is listed as out. Only explanation for that is he’s still dealing with his family emergency. Nothing else would make sense, he’s been playing very well.
