For some reason some moron left Brady off the MOC watch article on CFL.ca https://www.cfl.ca/2025/10/01/most-outstanding-canadian-watch-whos-the-front-runner/ He is only 13 yards back from leading the league in Yards from Scrimmage on a team that is middle of the road in net offense despite missing 2 full games and all but a single drive of another NBD.

You finally see it our way.

Its a bit of a meme at this point because this game was such an outlier. FWIW Collaros specifically called out Hogans game plan in his post game availability

Or you could do what any media literate adult would do and not take anything you read on the internet as gospel 🤷‍♂️ "So and so is confident, uses a lot of words / lingo they must know their stuff .... or .... they're simply a chucklefuck." People should always take time to question things for themselves.

I dunno I still like Demski as our pick anyhow... With all due respect to Brady O, who's an absolute manimal for us.

MOR too... most outstanding Rourke.

I develop software and I found these articles really hit home my issue with AI https://hbr.org/2025/09/ai-generated-workslop-is-destroying-productivity https://locusmag.com/feature/commentary-cory-doctorow-reverse-centaurs/ I am good at my job... so I can effectively use AI to be even better. I can guide it down the path to scaffold out code, if I am stuck as to where to go I can ask it questions about best practices, if I need an example it can give me something that is close enough to where I need to go. When people are lazy or don't know what they are doing, they go into ChatGPT or Cursor or Replit or whatever and are like give me a thing. And then I am provided that thing, or the concept of the thing and am told to make it a reality, but the reality is it is so far away from being production code it would be easier just to write it from scratch! And then it would have documentation, and there would be a process... and someone would know exactly what it does

Agreed. If the GM gets them what they need, either one of them can be very successful. Their track record as coordinators shows that clearly.

As @Booch's pr man that he doesn't know he has, what he's saying here is he appreciates the confidence some have in certain players, appreciates the multiple diverse opinions on the matter and may everyone here have great weeks with a loud and passionate GO BOMBERS to unite us. 🙂

I was excited about Tony Jones when he came on the scene for an injured Bighill last year... "excited" as in, this guys will be a great place holder until we find a permanent fit... I never imagined the team would view him as the permanent fit... I thought Jon Jones had a chance to be that guy.... I want a MLB that's a game changer... not just an above average place holder... It continues to concern me that we hold on to 30-something linebackers while ignoring and releasing younger players... The silver lining for me is if the plan is to start seeing more defensive reps from Shay and Smith and get more Americans on the D-line... I'm all for it...

Ya everyone was talking during the game about how it clearly had to be Jackson's game plan but players have specifically said Hogan called the game and gave him credit for it.

I mean... His top 5 list already has 6 people. McInnis and Smith both stick out to me. Two WR2 playing with an MOP candidate who have been healthy most of the year.

I just don't want to see Harris win MOP, does not deserve it.

Thanks for the clarity. He really is the great man that we believed him to be. 🙂

The world needs more of her ilk.

Trailblazer. RIP.

honestly tho we should try and get Woli back for a bag of tape and balls for stretch rin...Ham not using him and he would easily take Corcorans spot on roster and actually be useful and is also a receiver that ZC and Strev trust....and we know how key he was in rungame especially when the weather gets cold

Not with that attitude

guys, I'm pretty sure Ottawa is not going to trade all of their good players for our scraps... 🤣

No it's not, Brazzell was a better receiver.

https://www.cfl.ca/players/keric-wheatfall/166914/ Wheatfall has had his down games, but he's certainly not been invisible since the early part of the season. In particular, check out his 8/15 game against Ottawa. He made some hard yards in that game and survived some hellacious contact and I've seen him throw some good blocks too. Someone here compared him to Chris Brazzel and I don't think that's a fair comparison. Up to the 9/6 game where Collaros got hurt, he was on a 950ish-yard pace. Should we start him or Mitchell? No idea. But Wheatfall doesn't look like an early season flash in the pan to me. Would he start on any other team in the CFL? I don't think he'd make the grade in Montreal, BC, Ottawa, or Hamilton. I think he's just the target of frustration because he's a decent player on a team that made an expensive bet on Dalton Schoen that didn't turn out.

Wheatfall had 3 good games to start the year and then did fairly little but kept his spot.

This kind of blew me away: AI creates a fictional female singer, then is given a premise and writes a song with the fictional female singer it just invented singing it with music and lyrics. All done in minutes. Will this replace human musicians?

Yup high degrees of critical thinking when it comes to what others say and do is must have competency but on the other end of that equation having high degrees of self awareness to minimize one being a chucklefuck helps as well.

This should be a mandatory preface for all the Karens and Todds of the world when they post their 'wisdom' on social media.

Interesting that the players would specifically name Hogan when referencing the game plan….. Often they just say, ‘coaches put together a good game plan for us’, or something similar. Not saying there’s something to be read between the lines, but it’s interesting….. Maybe it’s because he’s been taking so much heat lately and they want to stand up for him or maybe it’s what they were instructed to do…. Or it could be absolutely nothing.

Depth charts out for tomorrow and the Riders have 7 changes with Sayles as GTD. That seems like... Alot at this point in the season

Here's Ferguson's list for those that dont open the link. I tweeted Marshall saying Brady should be on the list. He agreed but also said over who?

The unfortunately thing for the rest of Canadians in the league is that as long as Rourke plays average at QB he is probably going to suck up all the oxygen in the room for MOC. To his credit, after an incredibly rough 2024 and not the best start of this year he has turned it around, although last game for him was a stinker. I think whoever finishes stronger between him and Bo will end up MOP. I don't think Arbuckle will have the stats to pull a Bo from last year and insert himself into the discussion... although if Rourke falters a bit the Lions might end up nominating Hatcher. There really isn't anyone compelling from Calgary or Edmonton or Saskatchwan in the west. I think the Bombers MOP is for sure Brady but I can see how the media might pretzel Demski in there.

Rourke should be MOP and MOC.

As long as Rourke is in the discussion, media even mentioning anybody else is futile......don't you know Rourke is CDN, kid Canada, record breaking CDN.......Rourke, Rourke, Rourke, Rourke.........ROURKE.............There are no other Canadians worthy...only ROOOOUUUUURRRRKE

Desperately.

Heck 2018-2022 Bighill

I miss the days when we had Barrin Simpson and Joe Lobendahn smashing guys at the line.

big difference between tackles....and plays....seems to me a lot here would say player X on a different team wasnt as good as the stats seemed to indicate even tho high in league if not leading in tackles...and they are not necessarily wrong....but if it is a case where it's to defend Osh it justified I dont care about T.Jones tackles....I am tho of his poor drops in zone going up free catches constantly...his over pursuit and missing tackles in space as he plays at times out of control I also look to meeting guys in the hole...stopping plays for no yards or loss...plays he scrapes an takes down a player for minimal gain...not where it's giving them a 2nd and short He doesn't make the impact plays...the game altering ones.....doesnt meet the ball carrier first or dictate anything really ....he's good at having play come to him, not the other way around.....he's not a complete impactful LB by any stretch and has more holes in his game than positive attributes....Does J.Jones have moe...based on skill set alone and his work in T,O yeah....did he show it here...no.....didnt get the chance...but that being said he showed more in pre-season than T.Jones did, but like him..Thomas..Kolo...Kramdi (tho he actually got bumped from sam) their spots were cemented pre-camp regardless what anyone else did People yap about the game J,Jones played and had no defensive tackles....yet was the best defensive game we put forth all yr...coincided with moving Kramdi and Person actually getting a lot of reps Like a good DB maybe teams were staying away from him...nobody seems to look at that...also if you watch the tape he was perfect on his drops and where to be in space so there was no free pass in his area....subsequently T.Jones was able to play better in his drops as he saw the depth he should be J.Jones was removed.....Person went back to 6...7 reps again and until last game the defence never looked as good as that game Some times its not all about "stats" and what you think you are seeing This team is saddled with players playing as a personal choice of Osh and it's not necessarily due to true actual on field talent that translates into a game....works to an extent when you are loaded across the board with talent (2019-2022) but we aint now Flame away flamers....I expect nothing less from the licker of the boots

Who says he couldn't play up to expectations? Really watch Tony Jones.play sometime... see if you think that's an untouchable player no matter what the # of tackles at the end of the game says. He's a decent piece, but he is replaceable and based on what I saw in one game, j. Jones could have easily replaced and done more.

I have basically zero evidence to back this up. But it often feels like this team works in quarters. As in 4 games, 4 games, 4 games, 4 games. Doesn't always work out this way but it generally feels like if changes are needed they are made after a few games of trying. Last week marks the start of the last quarter. Also the obvious change in QB and WRs and just overall offense capabilities.

Wah wah wah...free agent bust couldn't play up to expectations, someone fire the coach..wah.

Ahh yes, the blind trust that our coaches always make the best choices when building the roster. Carry on gents, I don't want to interrupt your cult meeting.

1 zach. had to be, he did every thing and looked like the old mop for the first time in ages. 2 brady, 150 combined yards monster day grinding out good yards on each touch. 3 Houston. he ate lawlers lunch today. hh vaval with a huge kr td in the opening kick off. we held the lead for every snap of the game. Block of the game goes to wallace road grading downfield in the 4th. honorable mentions, jy for adjustments, entire secondary, person, woods, wr core, randolph, strev, teams both in cover and blocking.

I’d try to trade for Addison just as playoff insurance in case a WR or 2 get nicked up. He can do the stuff out of the backfield that Demski does and would be capable of covering any spot in the WR corps. Better than getting thinned out and having to use a guy like Corcoran in the playoffs.

Get Wab on the call and trade for her as well

Here is the song in its entirety with the AI Sadie in a video.

It will replace a lot. Things like movie scores, commercials and places where the song isn’t front and center. For some pop music, this has almost already been happening with the formulaic writers. Just won’t need those humans. I think what this does do is put a premium on authentic musicians and live performances. I haven’t yet seen AI put emotion and lived experience into songs. And the more it generates and can flood the market, I think the more people will crave human created content.

Don't hold your breath.
