I went thru that same injury many years ago & it truly is life altering as the knee joint never, ever fully recovers. It's misery years later when the knee eventually stops functioning. Schoen will keep tweaking it from time to time on the field causing him to miss an unknown amount of games in the future. I was told by someone here recently that today's surgical procedures are so much better than they were when I got injured. True but you can't change how severely that injury damages the joint. Medical science can't change that outcome, unfortuntely. Schoen's injury took place a year ago. By now, arthritis is starting to set in even with better surgical techniques & rehab.

Idc what league it is, you ride the QB talent. If that Qb becomes a younger guy, you move to him. Imagine if the Pats went back to bledsoe and jetisoned brady.

Yep, and Thomas/Lawson/Adams being much closer than usual is a big win. I mean, we saw instant dividends from that as well, with the most pressure we've seen in a long while. I'd like to see Adams get some more snaps at DE, and the wj/vaughters numbers come back down a bit more still. And Thomas go to the lowest of the 3 dts. But that is good progress. JY made adjustments. Pulling bridges, using the DI end, rotating the DL, even the Lber blitz useage is much better than we used to do. Once the Secondary has a couple of changes and adjustments, the D should be really good.

If the Jets Store does it, then to the Jets Store I shall go when next in in the city....

Frustrating that Shay and Smith are at 0 defensive snaps. Person getting 25 last game is encouraging. That's actually using a DI.

Walter's the guy who put us in this position at qb & receiver & you expect him to fix it?? Our GM is way past his expiry date. He used to be so sharp & had it together. Now? He's like a 2L milk jug that went sour in the fridge. Wow, is this team ever .....

We could be in the qb wilderness for years like Edmonton because of the way Walters & Osh messed up the qb position.

Thanks! Yeah I thought they were still at 0.

Smokey day in the Peg this morning. Hopefully things clear up before Friday.

Here's what I have: Vs Toronto (63 defensive snaps) Jefferson 58 Vaughters 54 Thomas 35 Lawson 34 Adams 26 Person 25 Kornelson 6 16 snaps with Vaughters as a stand-up player rushing from the interior. 20 snaps of him, Jefferson and Person on at the same time. Season to date (6 games) Vaughters 290 Jefferson 281 Lawson 205 Thomas 198 Adams 1768 Kornelson 45 Person 29 Still zero D snaps for both rookies.

I was curious and Googling told me your best bet is the Jets Store & Uptown Sports(now on Sterling Lyon Parkway) which hands off to ACE. Other options... Royal does numbers only on jerseys they sell River City Sports Sportchek Joe Daleys

Speaking as a long term hard core fan, this is true. It's easier on the psyche to expect less during downward trends. Of course you also get occasional surprises, like 2019 and 2007.

I think most casual and semi casual fans would rather their team be bad than mediocre. In the nba the teams in the worst spot, are the ones in the middle of the none play off pack. Most people perceive the come back from bad, to be easier and shorter than from mediocre. IMO, in football, if you don’t have the franchise qb, you’re in the same boat as the rest who don’t. And you don’t need a tank or tear down year to turn it around. Calgary this year and Toronto proved that. I don’t think posters on here want us to lose, I do think a lot of people have low expectations. Until we make better decisions, mine are low.

This is an online forum, for a cfl team, that dates back some 20 years, filled with a bunch of middle aged and older posters. I don’t think any one is confusing posters here with the average fan, on fb or rum hut bro. Never satisfied? You don’t have to go back far to find out that’s not true. Not sure what you’re on about, what kind of business has some one giving 1 star restaurant reviews? Take a look at the training camp media reporting and none bomber media in this city. It’s been close minded positivity and fluff pieces for years, and it’s on the verge of death. Puffed up unrealistic “review” content like that or 3dn/tsn pandering to markets erodes credibility. But if that’s what you want, you can find it. No one is expecting firings to happen in some short period of time. We all know the reality of the situation with the mafia. Changes, and accountability mid season are what people are talking about and hoping for. How do you think the 31k feel when they show up expecting the dynasty bombers to show up, and instead sit through us getting blown out? How long until those more casual fans turn on the team and stop showing up? you don’t want to get $h!7 on, but you get what you give bud. Do you legitimately think it’s better/less annoying to complain about people complaining while not actually contributing to discussion? Are you really fatigued by people saying these things, or is it that it keeps being true? Realistic expectations, when you’re talking about a hc/gm thatve been in the same job for 10+ years, and lost back to back championship games, the reality is we are near the of this mafia run. Some parts of it will continue, but some will not. The least probably out come is we go into next year with the same power structure top to bottom. Especially with the heavy reality of the front office cap, and the amount of younger guys we’ve lost to the league. Look at how much of the architects of 19/21 are already gone. You seem to think that the downward turn and reduced levels of on field success is some how sustainable. A second year with a bad start and losing streak, 3 missed championship opportunities, these things are compiling and leading us to change. It’s only a matter of how extensive and when. Personally, I think Wade will retire with in a couple years. And I think one of Walters/mos will be gone in the off season, likely Walters.

Sure I was at games also especially at the older stadium with barely anyone there on a September afternoon weekend game. It happens. But I’m curious how much rope they got with the non hardcore fan. Still see tons of ppl wearing bombers stuff every day. The vocal minority complains but will continue to watch and support. How long until the casuals stop going. That’s when we might see change. I just don’t think 5 or 10 even 50 ppl on here if that right now speaking for 32000 others. That’s all. Devils advocate kind of. What if they win the next 3 now? I mean we all know it’s unlikely but… honestly that’s more likely than firing anyone.

I know the jets store uses All Canadian Emblem in the exchange. Or did but not sure if they're open to the public or not. Or still being used. But people used to go to uptown sports but that prob doesn’t exist anymore as it was at portage place. Royal sports on pembina does stitching also.

That’s crazy talk. How bout them Jets tho hey. lol. Yeah man to their standard for sure like me and the hockey team. Agreed.

Yes. Strev was here before Zach. Crazy world. The injury Strev had tho is a big concern currently. It’s still effecting him.

He isn’t rourke like, but a couple of our guys have questionable upside at this point and he has plenty of upside atleast.

Yes! Was a damned shame we couldn’t keep him longer but the guy was gonna get paid.

Mike Jones!!

Elgersma, the next Nathan Rourke, wait a minute … 😆

Sorry for the semi necro-post, but is anyone here familiar with getting stitching done on a blank jerseys? I bought one of these and had it delivered recently... Now I need to get the name/number/etc on it. Can I just take this to the Jets store at the arena and they do it there?

I don't think that's actually true. There are some who would prefer the team be really bad week in and week out until they get their way and everyone is fired and the roster is built to their standard.

First, I'm not shitting on you. Some fans pay more attention to the team, that's just how it is. But one thing is certain: if performances like those we saw this past Saturday keep happening, the casual fans will vote with their feet. It has happened before, it will happen again. I remember attending a game at the end of 2014. Attendance was poor, and everyone but the die hards was there for the beer. The game consisted of watching Henry Burris and Co. shred our secondary. There have been some major warning signs. I mean, losing a Grey Cup to Nick Arbuckle - that's quite glaring if you stop to think about it.
