Well, the best teams have the best players usually. That's not unusual.

I disagree wholeheartedly on what Dolegala might have done. He is a stand up, pocket passer with almost no mobility. He had extremely limited knowledge of our playbook, took almost no first team reps to build timing, and would have been facing a TO front 4 that was dominating our OL. I give him a near zero chance of winning that game if he comes in. We may all hate that Zac Collaros went back into that game, but he was the only QB on our roster that realistically gave us any shot of winning. Yes, in order to do so he would have had to be able to play through his injury but if I am the coach I would make the same call based on who was available. It's not like we didn't try Wilson, we did, and he promptly went out and laid a big fat egg. Dolegala? Not even a realistic option really IF we are truly trying to win. I get the gamble that ZC could play through didn't work, but at the time the decision was made it was the right decision imo. Anything else is laying down and gifting the win. The reality of the situation is that the second ZC got injured our chances of winning that game, no matter who we put out behind centre, pretty much dried up unless D and STs could pull out a miracle. Our offence was done. I don't think that's an unfair statement at all. ZC could have gone back into that game and we feed them a steady diet of BO and we had a chip and a chair. The problem wasn't leaving ZC in the game. The problem was the play calling once we had decided that. Buck never adjusted to the reality of that moment. We had all kinds of run packages, screens, dumps, go to the flats that ZC could have executed even with a bad finger. Instead we have him going long on his first play back in the game. It made no sense.

The issues with Zach are: A) He's declining B -He and Management don't want to admit it C) He's still our best option

Lol so if we load up every position only then will Zach be serviceable? Nearly any qb would thrive with an all star cast surrounding them.

I think Walters pays by a grid system. On that grid, he has divided the money for the salary cap by position. Some positions pay more & others less. He won't vary from that grid. I don't know if other teams do it but if he is doing that, it isn't working.

The federal Liberals have sent $22 billion to the Ukraine to line Zelensky's pockets yet no money for universal pharmacare or dental?

Sure,

Osh doesn't want a rebuild. He said that publicly. He wants to bring most players back & "tweak" the roster with minor changes. So, that means same old, same old.

I watched the presser. My takeaways were different from some of what I read on the board. Walters all but admitted it’s time for a rebuild and set the bar high for this year by saying it can be done quickly. No pay cut for Zach, but that’s partly due to how bad the supports were around him, he said. That suggests there will be hard conversations about the OC, receivers and Oline. He even admitted the Bombers squeaked out some wins despite playing bad football. Only quality wins were over B.C. and Hamilton. That suggests he has his eyes open. The entire organization under achieved this year, except for maybe Vaval and Carol in the ticket office.. It sounds like this season stung the people in charge and course correction is ahead. We will see.

This season the offense was on the entire organization. Walters signed that high priced receiver from Edmonton & Osh barely played him. Damn, at one point we had Chris Streveler playing wideout on a bum knee. We signed Dalton Schoen & he never should have seen the fie;d this season. He was cooked by O'Shea playing him on a torn ACL. Zach was then handec an OC who was the worst in the CFL & now it looks like he'll be back again. We have the worst starting CEnter in the CFL & the OL suffers because of it. I can't blame Collaros. I thin k it's more 65/35 Bombers seem to have become a somewhat dysfunctional organization. If you heard the comments from both Osh & Walters. More of the same coming in 2026.

Not bad but 37 yr old Lowry might not be a good thing. 4th line probably in 3 years.

Will Zach realize his limits and adjust his style of play?

I like the BLM reference. So what we are ordering here is a better support cast to surround our qb and once delivered, okay ZC, time to resurge.

Hall has been coaching in the cfl for 30 years and isn’t an offensive mind. Ourstaff has more than enough experience with this game to know how dismal our play and game plan was last year. And yet it didn’t help us a tiny bit. No reason to think they will start effectively micro managing the O with success. We’ve seen the same mistakes from staff to office, repeated over years all with crushing season ends. We’ve heard all the talk of change, and how we know what we need to do. The only thing that will give reasonable hope that next year will be different, is action. Idc if mos/walters came out and said jake/kola/hogan etc cost us, or pointed at every single failing and said all the right things for plans to actually fix the issues. Only actions matter now.

Go do it again.........

That would certain help us next season, however we’ve seen like 3 good play off games from zach in all his time here. Even with phenomenal protection at times. At this point we’d need a blm type resurgence from zach. His play of the past two regular seasons has basically dipped to his average play off performance level as a bomber.

oh man I've done that cv19 / flu double vaxx and it kicked my ass hard.

Will you be less grouchy now??? 😁

13 years of coaching

When Osh played ,what side of the ball did he play? In what universe does that make him an "offensive" mind???

Shout out to the awesome nurses at the Shoppers vaxx clinic on Osborne. I was killing time before my flight yesterday and wandered over from the Forks to get that done. The assholes over here are charging people to get it done, and the nurses at the MB clinic were really happy to see Albertans coming in to get it done. Got the flu and C19 shots at the same time... In and out in 15 mins. So thankful for my home province!

Maybe I'm optimistic but there is reason to believe that it isn't business and usual for next season. This is the first time I've heard O'Shea talk about not having done a good enough job coaching especially the offense. Both O'Shea and Walters realize that last year was a step back and that's also something they have never admitted in previous seasons. (usually all we hear is how this team has great leadership and they will figure it out) Walters stated that they needed to do a better job of surrounding Zac with talent, another indicator of change (he also talked about how it's easier to revamp your team with all the one year contracts being the norm for most teams)
