Might be a situation where they want to see if Crum can potentially take over. See if they can off load Dru in the off season. Could very well see 1 or 2 qbs retire in the off season. Edmonton might be in the market for a qb. TO as well.

Ottawa and quality decisions have not always gone together.

Losing 3 Grey Cups in a row isn't an accomplishment. Getting to the Grey Cup is meaningless. It's the same as missing the playoffs or losing in rounds 1 or 2. This team has been a failure for 3 years and it's all been self inflicted.

Dru Brown shut down for the season now too. Not sure why you would turn your team over from a 28 year old QB you have signed next year who doesn't appear to be injured but has struggled this year and probably needs to work through some stuff to someone who is going to be a free agent but Ottawa gonna Ottawa I guess

if it were up to me Kathryn Hahn would be playing Mother Gothel https://deadline.com/2025/10/tangled-scarlett-johansson-resumes-development-1236574770/ so they're casting the wives now https://deadline.com/2025/10/mia-mckenna-bruce-joins-beatles-movies-maureen-starkey-1236574588/

Currently expecting Cloudy and +5 by kickoff Saturday. Only a 40% chance of rain right now but we'll see how the day goes.

Why does this surprise you? The whining started in 2023 and we've won our division twice and went to two Grey Cups in that time span. The agenda is strong here and wins won't get in the way of that. We could have pitched a shut out and people would be complaining how the defence could have not only secured the shut out but scored points if Jake Thomas didn't get his twelve snaps in that game. Nah....we had the same whining in 2023 and 2024. It's just baked in now.

yep colon cancer.

Insight....sure. They will not privately criticize their team or team mates outside the dressing room or give a lot away about locker room dynamics. Just doesn't happen. I won't name names, but during the Mike Kelly days, I had a former player who was a daily customer of mine at my sports bar. We got to know each other very well, he would come to my house couple times a week even for beers. He would talk about the team, but never in much detail and very diplomatically. If he had something bad to say he just wouldn't say it and he told me as much. He was a professional and this is ingrained in being a professional. He ended up on another CFL team during Kelly's reign, and when he came back to town he stopped in. That is when the truth came out. It was shocking because what he told me I would never have guessed from the hours I spent with him talking. They are extremely guarded and protective of the dressing room. If they aren't the leaders of the team will take them to task. If that doesn't work you usually see them down the road.

I think the "whining" is coming from the frustration in several of the other games this season.

Not even a little bit debatable. Fastest way to be shunned by your team mates is by talking dressing room with people outside the dressing room. I would bet big dollars that applies even more under FIFO. Players may talk to outsiders but it's more of them just kind of telling them whatever they wanna hear vs, the truth. If a guy loves the coach, the player will praise him. If the guy hates the coach. the player will go along with it. It isn't the truth. It's just a player, a lot of times, just humoring a fan. If he's healthy he likely will. Those guys get an apple and a road map pretty quick.

Young people only eat Ramen noodles 🤣

Demski

Jake is a real estate agent in the Maritimes.... At some point he'll go do that full time, I'd imagine.

Signing Jake as depth is not a huge issue. Using Jake as if he's prime Doug Brown = huge issue.

Boomers? The drive thru is always busy so I'm assuming they still sell lots of coffee?

Demski had time off because his wife just had a kid on Monday or Tuesday.

It’s been removed from the post. There’s only a handful of records I would want from v1. Too many all-time NHL worst that has me NOT wanting them at all. Let UTAH retain those,

this would be incredible, even though deep down I feel like the 2.0 team has created it's own history in a way

UFL is like an updated XFL. Owned by a dude and his ex wife and a tv station. It’s all about ratings and gate I’d assume. They doing ok in a few markets (st Louis would put 40k for the cfl ) but obviously not so well in 3 they just moved to smaller venues like oh I dunno the size of BMO or MCGill or Hamilton Stadium. Any news on Elgersma. Lol

Jake Thomas to the Atlantic Schooners in 2027. E5 I wonder if he’s interested in coaching or if he’ll just go home after this season. I think the writing on the wall there. I mean I’d hope they don’t give him a new contract cuz if they do he will sign it I’m sure. it’s one of those well they keep offering me money to play so why not kind of things. How you fix it is in the off season you don’t sign him. Kyle signed him. Don’t care if ppl say O’Shea, Kyle signed him. The GM signed the contract. Memo to Kyle or New GM… Don’t sign Jake Thomas.

Most guys likely playing through minor perhaps even more than minor injuries. Demski definitely been banged up this year so no issue giving guys who are likely a bit to more than a bit banged up a day or 2.
