Well, the real matchup is the Bomber popgun offence against the Ottawa defence, and the Ottawa offence against the porous Bomber defence and that is not good for the Bomber win potential. Gonna be hard to watch without a mouthful of anti-emetics.

Moved "leather footballs" into General Discussion.

Moved from the main CFL football forum I think this discussion will be better done here.

Saved you some typing

1. Not against leather in principle. 2. Every opportunity to treat animals better should be taken. 3. This message would be better coming from someone other than PETA, who these days have basically the opposite intended effect on my view on something when they are the ones that brings it to my attention. I suspect I am not alone there.

when we had success in the past...we had 6 legit guys who could take reps and actually make plays...Right now with Lawson on the shelf we have 4 (WJ...Vaughters...Person and Adams) Thats why we get minimal pressure tho going away from that lame contain let em beat the secondary scheme has helped...our secondary now is in shambles...so smart minds you would think would beef up the dline if they could....guess we aint smart yup....dare to dream tho eh?

A dl of Woods, Adams, Lawson (when healthy, and Thomas (because hes AR till he retires sadly), wj, Vaughters, and Person would be deadly. Throw in bailey inplace of a back-of-the-roster canadian and you have a scary, scary front. Blitzing is hard to make work consistently in the CFL. Because of that, you are best off imo, if you run with the best mix of disruptive DL talent you can find.

And owns the largest kill "shelters" in north america. Over the last 30 years, they have a kill rate in the 70% range. So screw PETA, for the CFL, though any publicity is good publicity, I guess.

Yeah, if Woods is physically ready to play, it’s ridiculous to not get him in the lineup. Especially with our depleted secondary, that hasn’t exactly been firing on all cylinders, we need to create havoc in the pocket.

"Imagine the cows terror" that's a rich statement from a group that has and continues to steal peoples domesticated pets because "it's more humane for them to die, than live as a pet". Peta can get ******.

We've brought in one CFL receiver in two years of trying to replace 3-4 spots.

I think we’re going to squeak out an ugly win. We’re usually a much better team at home. I’m not sure I have much confidence in this team right now but this is a winnable game, the place will be rocking regardless.

FROM what I know...He is ready, and game reps would be only thing to progress him now...But we figure dressing Ayers...a LB and having him out of position on dline, and then giving no reps is the way to go...like really?? Much like in 2023...Parker was ready to play well over a month before he actually got on roster...and was quite frustrated about it....

How close to being game ready is Woods?

yeah to have any success this yr it's gonna have to be riding the defense and ST's Defense still needs a few tweeks...like to see a few different guys already rostered get more use on it...hopefully adding a Woods...Bailey(to see if he has benefit) and relegating a couple guys to injury replacement only

Sorry to sound like Mr. Negative...and usually I do try and be positive...but from what I have seen from our offence this year, I have virtually no faith in them showing up or making a play when needed. I do think the defence has improved and is evolving even with some key injuries, I do believe they can compete with the other teams and keep us in games now. Our specials are doing great.....but.....I just can't see us winning many games with this offence...sorry

Like most everyone else, I’m not going into this game with a tonne of optimism. I’m just hoping for a performance that doesn’t make me want to punch my tv.

Lot of people hated season 2 of the Sandman.

Finished Sandman- what a series, wish there was more. Dexter Resurrection is shaping up pretty nicely too:

I have zero faith until proven otherwise in our coaching...and that's not just from losing 4 of our last 5 games...this has been since 2023 or so.....which coincides quite nicely with our talent and depth starting to age out...erode...or walk away. If not possessing a stacked roster...I not sure if we really have the coachability to pull things out of the fire, utilize, let alone recognize actual talent or make changes on the fly.... like i have said several yrs....coaching has been killing us...and we have scratched out a lot of wins in spite of the coaching....except when it really mattered (3 grey cups) or some glimpses of an actual Pro offensive play book....and play calling

Be nice if we could show some glimpses of a passing game...
