Best of a bad lot. In other news… Sabres fan post. Things just got worse. I had 2 Sabres tickets sitting on my dashboard. Someone broke my car window and left 2 more.

Got my passes during the first go round. Very excited to take in everything that week. Think we're getting Paisley tickets at the arena that week too... Going to be lots of cool stuff to check out even if we're not in the game.

I prefer to do take out these days instead of staying in the restaurant for a long period of time (especially since my food took awhile) but the place was kind of busy so I guess that's a good thing

U no call me? I guess that why they call u the ex.

The other observation I had watching the dynamics on the sidelines was MOS's (and other coaches/players) animated displeasure (with good cause probably) towards Mitchell's lack of execution/preparation/engagement but completely 180 degree approach to other players like JT who is probably very likeable, hustles, is a team player, engaged but bottom line his 'production' generally matches what players like Mitchell 'produce' considering JT gets more reps that DM. I get why but at the EOD one has to produce on the field and being a body filler of gaps frequently being manhandled on pass plays to me sends what kind of message to players who, like JT, bust their ass but produce unlike JT? This whole dynamic is a much bigger issue than the approach JT is our 39th best player it's not a big deal. IMO playing and supporting players like JT influences team culture that influences production on the field more than some think.

Let's not forget Dobson as well, and that's just one of a plethora of good young OL we have simply let go to market, while simultaneously over the past several years not drafting OL in the first round. This offseason we went scrap heaping with a fist full of dollars available. Makes no sense in a Grey Cup year. Before we even played one snap this year I was ready to take my pitch fork and try find Kyle Walters. Now I am just too sad to do so. Logan didn't really lose his job to Vaval so much as Vaval just took it from him when Logan was injured. Can't really blame the GM for that mistake, but at the end of the day a mistake is a mistake whether intentions were good or not.

this past offseason was fairly disappointed at the time... and is a complete disaster in hindsight... consider the "big" moves we made: - Mitchell - couldn't crack the line up and when he has played, he's been useless outside of one play - Logan - lost his job to Vaval (though never really given much opportunity) - Jonathon Jones - released - Vaughters - been OK but nothing spectacular - Schoen - resigned at a discount only to basically ruin his career - Let Lawler walk and he's been an all-star in Hammy Faj > Kelly was more of a hypothetical... I don't expect either to be available

Yea, all 3 were kind of duds. You lose Lawler you better bring in someone a heck of a lot better than Sterns/White/Mitchell. It's this kind of GMing that has cost us dearly this year. Over the past several years we have lost enormous amounts of top tier talent with B rate replacements signed to replace them. That has led us to this. Our complete lack of quality depth is also a big time issue. We haven't seen much in that regard since RIgmaiden left town.

well I finally found the time to go to IHOPBees and not all the menu items carried over from the Sterling Lyon location (like I was looking forward to getting either a biscuit sandwich or a crepe but I ended up getting an ultimate breakfast burger with fries. However I do still have a reason to want to go back they have new menu items, (I want to try the Chicken Parm Fettucine Alfredo)

Sort of have to agree with your comments. Osh seems to only want his old boys playing vs. using someone new. And between his poor player management and the lack of solid recruiting we will be lucky to get a cross over this year. And then we will be one and done for 2025 IMHO.

White chose to leave, because the Bombers weren't willing to play him right off the bat (no different than Mitchell). He gave them a week after camp to find a spot for him and they couldn't/wouldn't. Even if they had signed another receiver, I don't think it would have been any different. They seem to be so opposed to letting "new" guys play over an existing player - if I was a FA, this is probably the last place I'd sign.

They did bring in 3 guys essentially for one spot, in white, sterns and mitchell. But they could’ve brought in some one who was less of a hail mary. White was the best of them in camp imo. Glad lawson is off for houston too. It’s wild though how thin we are at soo many positions.

I wonder how Reggie White Jr would have turned out had they kept him instead. Also I wonder why they didn't sign any other free agent receivers during the off season?

Mitchell was a mistake from day 1 ...yet we kept him around ...for why???? We should have parted ways right from the get go....yet we kept an obviously unprofessional player who was a moral deficit for the rest of the club...I'll never understand the move ...I don't know for sure who was the mastermind behind bringing him in in the first place while we let an ace receiver in Lawler walk....Someone has to be held accountable...Will there be????not likely

$$$$$$$ If you ever wonder why, that's the answer.

That seems to be the case. Hard to understand why the Grey cup committee thought that would be a good idea. Like I understand having that be an option, but not the only option. Unless I'm missing something. I was hoping to get to a party or two. But I'm not buying a concert ticket that I don't want in order to get to them.

not only that, cobb is far pre valuable for depth on teams than corcoran

So what's the deal with the furor surrounding these passes? They decided to combine the concerts and the team parties and that make it harder to secure team party access? Is there less supply than there has been in other Grey Cups?

Yea, there were two plays in a row that Mitchell, just half arsed his routes at a light jog, Frustrated? Doesn't matter. Unprofessional, and MOS and JJ let him have it. I would be shocked if we see him again, and this probably solves the 'mystery" of why he never saw the field much this year. It wasn't some bias by MOS as previously reported.

Lawler

Interesting, thanks.

MOS showing his displeasure with him, JJ very animated in trying to coach him up while showing him plays on his playcard, Wilson trying to get Mitchell more engaged on the sidelines as Mitchell would drift off and stand alone while the D was on.

what did you see?
