Yes please.

They already won at home. They don't get to do it again!!!! Lol

You mean like every single post about our DL? Or young NI OL? Or scouting this season? Have you ever seen me make a eat some crow post? Clearly I'm not motivated by that. The same thing I said previously, probably. How tall would you like to build the strawman?

I'm not writing off Thursday as a loss. I will however be unhappy if the O is out of synch and we give away a game that we should of won because some guys were shaking off the rust. If the mindset is treating the first few weeks as an extended pre season and not putting as much weight on losing the first few games... that is a risk that I'm not a fan of, If 8 teams out of 9 are giving starters some reps in pre season and if 8 teams out of 9 are not using additional Canucks for no real reason... I refuse to believe that O'Shea is the only smart guy who has it figured out while everyone else is behind. I know his track record gives him the benefit of the doubt but these are a few things that had a new coach implemented we would be much more vocal with the complaints.

Our squad is weaker too & another year older. Gotta say that BC reminds me of the Bombers when Edmonton was the best team in the league. 2nd best losing in the western final year after year. As for why they are being chosen to win the cup this year... It would make for a great story to finally get over the hump and win at home & writers love a good story.

IMO BC's Canadian depth on D and OL is worse than ours minus Betts. They need a lot from Bemiy, Cherry, Hladik, Beaulieu, Greene. And they are hoping Covington isn't cooked. We need to stay healthy though.

They hate us cause they ain't us.

You do understand that it's possible to not like one thing, but still be optimistic about something else? And when things do go upside down, we will all get to say "hey way to go wwbfan!! You did it!! You got it right!! Yay for you!!" What will you say to use when they win the GC? Yes you were crapping on a depth chart you haven't seen and complaining about roster management that hasn't happened. You've even complained about another GC loss and how fans will jump on the doom and gloom bandwagon in November.

No, you were building a strawman argument. Because no one wrote off this game. I implied I expect a struggle on the first drive with all the change over and rust, and that if we start 11+ Canadians we deserve what we get. I don't trust players to make the right choices, we saw biggie and BA play when they shouldn't, amongst others last year. That's why we have training staffs and coaches. Players can seldom make those kinds of decisions objectively. The nature of TCs today don't come close to replicating game action either, it's not a good tool for how a guy feels or how ready they are.

I think BC is a weaker squad than last yr...I don't get the hype either

You can all choose who you wish to engage with. You also have an option to ignore posters. Self moderation is a wonderful tool and if we can't have a conversation without getting too far into the weeds it's a damned shame (especially when the season is right around the corner).

I wasn't talking about you directly. I too would have liked to see some starters play last week. But I'm not going to jump on them for not doing it. I trust those guys know what they need and when they need it. 100% i think if any of the guys who didn't play really wanted to, they would have.

be fun...but he's too smug to offer an legit answer...so what would be the point ahahahah

Doesn’t he make a point tho.

oh I'm not writing Thursday off....my only gripe is rostering Thomas likely ahead of some young talent who would only help us...he isnt the future here...he's not even a key part of the now...why dress him...we have better options...but we all know why he will be dressed and it rhymes with Okay And saying that reps in training camp...even 1 series especiually at home when travel wasnt an issue should have been used....I'm not worried about Mtl in the least...I am expecting a beat down

Keep the discussion on football and not each other.

Abbott evens admits this in a separate article. Missing a bunch of key players on both sides of the ball and I don't buy that they'll end up changing their philosophy a ton because they have Stanback. If it turns out that last year wasn't a fluke and he's washed, what then? Back to the 90% aerial attack with lesser players? https://3downnation.com/2024/06/03/over-or-under-b-c-lions-rife-with-questions-despite-heavy-2024-win-projection/ I don't mind them for contract info and that sort of thing but yeah anything opinion-based is not great to say the least.

Thomas Vanek said Arniel ran the best power play he’s ever been a part of so there’s some positive instead of lunatic commodore

my complaint isn't about last year. It's that guys are already writing thursday off as a loss. it's ******* weird. Say what you want about the GC games. But no team has won more regular season games than the Bombers in almost a decade. Thursday isn't a grey cup. It's week 1. How have week 1 games gone the past few years? Someone want to remind me?

he did this yr...last yr you know he wouldnt have...We had Thomas...incumbant Walker who was just basically handed the job prior to camp....saying that he would have been kept on those factors alone you would just be a flat out liar....trying to support your narrative and debunk others Let me ask you this...when assessing a Dline man...and straight up interior guy...a multi technique guy...what do you look for or want to see to dictate who you would keep...I am generally curious

Its true, but I don't know how last years is soo easily washed away for most people on here. The previous year we got beat by a really good Tor team, with tremendous coaching. last year we got beat by Fajardo and Maas. We didn't get out coached, we didn't get beat by competitive talent. We skuttled our own ship. Funny thing is, if it happens again or things go upside down, all these people will jump on the bandwagon and pretend they were on it the whole time. Just like they did for a couple monthes after the GC loss lol.

It's too bad 3Down has lost the insider kind of edge it started with. At least 7 of the 9 people making those predictions contribute nothing journalistically. Abbott fawns over BC and Hodge's basic knowledge of the sport is lacking.

Hmmmmmmm Mike Commodore. Seemed disgruntled wherever he went as a NHL'er. Doesn't come across to me as the most stable person so who knows how legitimate his 'concerns' are.

I've been saying I don't get the BC hype all off season. I've asked multiple people to explain how they've gotten better....crickets. Adams had great WR last year and I don't see that same lineup. Their D has lost many key pieces. I just don't understand.

last 2 actually nd it's funny...In his June 3rd presser he claims Sl Couture won't put a guy out there who isnt able to do his job and is 100 percent...well I guess he over ruled him in Grey Cup last yr...as 4 guys for sure didn't fit that mindset....But hey he's Mike Oshea....won lota games...been to Grey Cup 4 yrs running...well we lost the last 2 running for a lack of a better word due to stupidity, and piss poor rotering/depth
