but why be honest when you can stick your head in the sand and hide behind hyperbolic appeal to authority based on 4 year old success. Same issues that had a great team needing to hit on a hof qb in 19 and prior are bad with a vengeance. We’ve all seen the warts, we all know the reality of how we limit our own success. Now, ever one does any way. Though some still try to hide from it. thomas/kola. Thomas could be serviceable as the least played dl. But he’s the least capable of being effective in heavy reps. And our Ds biggest need is disruption on the line.

It actually goes back before they won a cup...

Watching the Argos O against the Hamilton D...really shows how much of a difference maker ZC was last week. Consistent pressure, whenever Doege holds on to the ball.

we already have 2....who offer more, could we find better....for sure and we should always be trying to find better...at every position and this loyalty of favoritism to a coach's fav...or a guy who been here a few yrs is the root cause of how you go from the top...to "not the top" in lickity split fashion and degrade your roster...depth...and yes attitude and loyalty to club from players...Lawson a Canadian offers more...and actually before Schmeck got hurt in a situational role even offered more....but..........we know the but And the value the HC has on certain aspects of a player trumping talent/potential/versatility also gets you what you see when you compound it with the aforementioned...and gets you a roster chalk full of ST guys who have no value beyond that....and forces you to play underperforming vets, and injured guys...

Well, no West Final for the first time since 2019... Time to take the long road. Hope we can get the WSF anyhow.

Brown is signed for next season but Crum will be a free agent. https://3downnation.com/2025/01/15/ottawa-redblacks-extend-qb-dru-brown-through-2026/

its been 12 season...not just past 3...he was able to skate by cause he had a loaded roster and guys in their prime....he hasn't the last 3...4 yrs...and it shows Waltr's saved his bacon with savvy FA signings and a solid recruiting team...and the gentle push to basically say...Nichoils is here...he best be starting next game That didnt happen he woulda been gone in yr 4....5 latest as said above....100 percent.... yup...and re:Thomas....he not even serviceable at that...why?....like he shouldnt even be here now...or last....let alone next...so whats the point? he's not the future and far from the now...dumping him off the roster won't make us a weaker squad...allow a young player to develop there with sparingly being used until they progress...and really with ratio a DT isnt even required....go find a legit DB/Rec/LB (tho we already have 2) and develop them.....

You know this, how??

Hardy, Lewis, Addison, Pimpleton is a pretty damn nice set of receivers, though Addison had a weird drop tonight. Ottawa teams are always less than the sum of their parts.

Ottawa is pathetic

Jake Thomas is by no means our biggest problem. But he’s the most glaring example of roster negligence we can possibly ever imagine having. We start him and it’s not even ratio related. He could be replaced by an American tomorrow and it would not affect the ratio one bit. Unless our team is admitting they’re not putting out the best possible roster, the only explanation for this is that we can somehow not find a better DT down south than Jake Thomas.

A more honest update is that people are frustrated that this club has moved glacially slow in making the necessary changes that other clubs would have addressed immediately instead of waiting half a season and/or until a player gets injured. O'Shea saying "nothing wrong all is good" has made people believe that he is arrogant and stubborn and unwilling to admit that they made poor decisions and need to change. The lack of free agent signings and giving Zach a big contract for next season has soured the people on Walters. The roster management has been terrible and people are split on blaming O'Shea or Walters. Nobody can understand why Jake Thomas is starting and puzzled on why they have not attempted new players to see if they can create a spark. I don't think anyone wants either Walters/O'Shea to be fired... just a kick in the pants and for them to stop sniffing their own farts and stop resting on pass success and do something. Everyone has agreed that the new OC Hogan needs to be fired ASAP.

Brett Lauther isn't playing due to an injured back. I guess he was shoveling too much manure this week.

I would not be surprised at all if they’ve been going on for a while. maybe even agreed to a deal in principal.

What a terrible first game of the double header. You knew after Arbuckle went down the game was over although Doege did show signs he may develop into a decent CFL qb someday. Instead of fans worrying about losing the 55 yard line maybe they should worry that the CFL has no plans to get rid of the coaches & mgmt salary cap which is truly hindering player development & quality of play in the CFL.

I don't know how Hamilton is not walking away with this game. Doege has been a turnover machine & it's still a 2 score game.

Noeller's street cred as a UFL Insider is right up there with Daffy Duck. How can the UFL playing 10 games from March to July in mostly the Sun Belt States merge with the CFL playing18 games from June to November?

Rough for them. I mean it was kind of a foregone conclusion the west would cross over anyway but that should seal It.

So the lead-in to the double header today is bull riding? Can't find enough content for a 30 minute lead-in to preview the games today or recap last game TSN?

So Dru Brown will be available next season???? I'm predicting right now Crum gets the nod next year at the pivot spot

The 3 teams are being relocated for NEXT season. They have already announced that Columbus is getting one of the teams. But, your are correct in that they are looking at teams playing in small stadiums.

Merger talks have already begun.... Zero question.

Last year at least he seemed very feast and famine. He'd end up with 70 yards but how did he get there? a bunch of 2 yard carries, a couple decent runs in the 5-7 range and then something in the 30+ range. So you get one good drive out of him but the rest of the time he is stalling your offense. He seems to be a bit more consistent this year, but in this game... 18 carries for 53 yards and a long of 8 is rough... yeah he was running the QB Short Yardage package but that is still not great. No doubt in my mind Brady ends up in front at the end of the season, his average is right around the other leaders but he's only been below that number once in the last 6 games, the LDC where he inexplicably only got 5 carries. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at 1400 yards on the year.

When I watch Ouelette play, how can a back run for over 1,050 yards so far & look so useless doing it. He's really no threat as a back. Brady is going to catch & pass him unless Hogan ***** it all up with his playcalling. I still think Brady can be the leading rusher in the CFL.

I fondly remember burning my tongue and upper part of my mouth with a ridiculously lava hot chocolate during the Grey Cup back in the day. It was like 99% water with a 1% tinge of chocolate powder.

Best shoot-out goal ever.

The entire time he's been here... There's been complaining.

That turnover epitomized this OTT team, watching the replay all the OTT players are celebrating, meanwhile Oullette is the only one hustling to make something happen.

The frustration with O'shea has been consistent for the past 3 seasons- his rigid devotion to certain players, even when it was obvious that his loyalty was misplaced, resulting in a steady downward spiral for the team. He may be a nice guy and calls his mom regularly, but he has glaring deficiences as a coach which he has refused to change. I cite his retention of a certain ex-marine who had little talent but was kept on regardless, and his usage of Collaros in the last Grey Cup game. Every coach and even GM has a "best before" date and I believe that O'Shea has exceeded his.

RBs still in this ******* thing but Jesus this should have been an easy RBs win if they hadn't ****** around on O... DB6 with some real bad decisions that ****** em.

Schenn inexplicably goes to pick up his stick, allowing the Flames to get the first goal. Net front wide open. Schenn and Fleury look horrible so far. Like beer league bad.

Too bad, Ottawa had the opportunity to do something really funny.

thats been Browns problem all year, throws some great passes then ....one to the wrong team

It's over. Bob Dyce say your goodbyes.

You have to study the history of how we got here. First there were the O'Shea haters. These ones claim we should have five Grey Cups and MOS is a piece of **** for only getting 2. Walters built such an incredible roster that surely Tim Burke could have won all 5. Enter the Walters haters. It's not O'Shea's fault!! It's Kyle Walters! He's not doing enough! And so on. So that's where we are now. It's going to be Defcon 5 here if the Bombers don't make it to the Grey Cup at home, let alone win it. O'Shea is public enemy number one but Walters is right behind him. And all 12 posters here know I'm speaking the truth.

That's just embarrassing on so many levels

Haha another dud kicker

At least we don't have to deal with another Milligan for MOP campaign because he played special teams as well as defense

He's a magical time travelling wizard.

Davis is six foot three and weighs 185 pounds. A native of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Davis signed with the Green Bay Blizzard (IFL) on July 24, 2024, during the team’s playoff run. He did not see any action. He re-signed with the Blizzard on November 27, 2025. how?

Whatever you do, Dave... Don't run to the can right before the half.... You never know what might happen... #LessonsLearned

Winnipeg vs Ottawa has to be up there.

It is but in a bad writing way. Dwight knew Dunmire's name but later on forgot how to pronounce it? Also the distillery owner was sitting on a gold mine of liquor but didnt want to sell any of it? I understand the distribution story part but he could still sell it.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer team if his contract doesn’t help correlate into success for the sucky wild. My distaste for this team is nearing the Leafs and might just be equal now.

It's a ridiculous contract for a guy like Kiprizov, certainly but also the cap is going up and don't forget that what these guys make is a fraction of what the owners make. I'm not as "ATHLETES ARE ALL GREEDY PIGS!!" as some people. Careers are short... Take the money if you can get it. Having said that, this really fucks with where the bar is for guys like KConn and McJesus... Kiprizov is absolutely not worth this money.

That contract is complete insanity....just give him the keys to the club and put his name down as an owner already....Where does it stop....AND don't forget the guys that buy the tix are going to end up paying for this guy....Just so much till the well runs dry and everyone is hooped

https://www.nhl.com/news/kirill-kaprizov-signs-eight-year-136-million-contract-with-minnesota-wild The Wild are ******.

Here's hoping the headings for the 2025/2026 NHL season 20 games in read 'What's wrong with the Knights, Panthers, Wild and Maple Leafs?'.

But why did the wobbly guy who didn’t last the four quarters of the game always want to engage in conversation while he’s spraying urine all over?? All i could do was nod and smile. Fun times.
