I know this game means nothing but seeing these guys hungry flying around on defense is both fun to watch and incredibly annoying for obvious reasons.

Is this exciting? Or does this make anyone else feel old? 👴

Personally speaking, it’s the only way I can orgasm these days

Not me, I'm trying out for a combo wr/db spot. I'm not fast or anything but I bring lots of heart and intangibles.

For the most part, the article isn't wrong but when it is, it's way wrong. He has ST as a toss up but says "If James Letcher Jr. is in the lineup, his one play game-breaking ability is king and Montreal gets the nod", which is absolutely insane. Letcher had zero return touchdowns of any kind this season (and just 1 TD last year) while Vaval has four. But yeah Ferguson, you go on about a crazy game breaking ability that doesn't seem to exist and completely ignore the guy who should (imo) win ST player of the year. Not saying Letcher is a bad returner but Vaval was clearly the best this year so that should be a slam dunk category for us.

I hate that we are at the mercy of a rigidly stubborn head coach who has repeatedly chosen to stroke his ego rather than make the best choices for the team. Frustrating.

We need to ride BO hard right from the get go....and integrate some BO jr too in multi back sets. That way we can control the line from the start and then if ZC...The cerebral smart ZC shows up and plays within himself...the shots will be there. If OC clown tries to come up with some fancy scheme....and ignores our bread and butter and our game dictating work horse in BO he best be left in MTL when the game is over With all the warts and all with the defensive rostering this unit can control a game, and in play-off football this defence can I think go on a rip, and unlike OC clown (he has dropped from just OC Guy to clown now BTW) I have faith in Younger and Hall if provided the right personnel, and you cant look past that in all reality Alexander is basically still a rookie starter...and playoffs are a different beast...we seen firt hand all the fancy stats and wins in the reg. season account for zippo when rubber meets the road in playoffs.... And a younger hungrier bunch...well we seen how that translates to an aggressive overall unit....and maybe that will spurn Vaughters and WJ to rachet it up a notch....and generally WJ usually shows up in big games so not too concerned there truth be told if they actually turn him loose Vaughters and WJ are gonna be on roster...just how Osh rolls and they should be really...We gotta get Jenkins on as he handled that MY; line easily....with Vaval back on roster fo Logan we can easily dump the extra DB in Lawson Jr and use him in that spot...and the smart/right move would be to have Bailey on for one of Corcorran...Ball and yes Thomas...1 assume Kramdi would replace Vibert....tho the use of Woodbey there...and Smith who were moved all around were more than good....Be nice to get one of Persons and Jaworski on too, but that would be at the expense of Ayers/Wilson and cant see that happening....But a heavy rotation of WJ/Vaughters/Jenkins/Bailey with Lawson and Woods taking DT reps would give us our best front...especially with how effective Woodbey and actually Smith were as outside edge rush/contain guys...4 man fronts with all 4 those ends would give tha Al's fits Given what we saw yesterday with the potential....and if Demski is back and the offence can control the t.o.p and actually put up some 7's I feel pttty confident to be honest and can't discount that Vval may bring one back If we flop...saying it now it's gonna be due to coaching blunders and a piss poor roster on game day...fingers crossed that Osh actually saw something yesterday

We can all agree we want to see the Riders lose the WF, preferably in the most humiliating fashion possible.

If you have military experience, MOS would like a word... I would do it but I'm still exploring NFL opportunities.

If Jenkins isn't dressed you can sign me up to the fire MOS crowd. Guy had a whale of a game this week and just looks explosive off the line. Really could be an X factor just in time for the playoffs.

Sports are funny. Here I am looking back on a pretty mediocre season and logically knowing we are probably done in a week, and yet my heart is like...maybe? If we can surprise the Als I think we can beat the Cats.

Luv this kid Peterson......we didn't miss a beat letting Augustine fly the coop Those new defensive ends made some noise and a case for sticking around Wilson.....competent to cold....Sad for Streve .....I think he's done

another 10 win season for the boys

Dyce seems like a nice guy and probably a good positions coach but as a HC he was a little over his head.

Oh good, Kola is still starting…… Said no one.

Yeah I'm tired of this regime's anti-Canadian bent.

Brady disrespected

I don't even wanna take the chance of a replay... I'm not mentally strong enough to handle that. The sooner they're gone, the sooner they're NOT playing in our barn at all... No chance of them winning here. Good riddance to bad rubbish and all that...

The Demski watch begins.

Especially since Bailey demonstrated that he can contribute to special teams.

I agree that Jenkins for Person is an easy swap. Bailey for one of our depth Canadians would also be a good choice.

yup...fresh legs too at the right time....He offers us a nice combo of what we been lacking...Same can be aid for Bailey as well...he showed a lot...and offers valuable defensive reps to keep the old farts fresher...and can play teams...and...he's fresh too I also am worried he plays a not ready Demski as well...cause I not sure he gonna be totally healthy and with a hammy...one lil tweak again and he's done....with how Smith played on defence...Lawson...Kramdi likely back..we can delegate 2 Canadians for atria on defence and technically not have to have 2 Canadian receivers.....we seen how this dance has gone before playing not healthy recievers in playoffs and it screwed us royally Run out a Wheatfall...Echols...Pokey..Clercius...Stearns unit ...heavy use of BO and sprinkle in some dual backfield sets with Peterson...even MCI and trust in them to get to the EF with a "healthier" Demski

Agree.....but my biggest fear is that MOS will just round up the usually suspects.....

MOS voice-"They're all number ones."

At a minimum Jenkins, Jaworski and Bailey showed a lot of promise.

he’s too good to sit on the bench all next year. We need to be working he and brady into the O at the same time. MCI should get extreme focus too. Use him as an h back / te / slot a lot more.

Really nice to see some ferocity and pressure by our D Line which has been absent all year. But we will play Vaughters who has been basically invisible because he's a vet. MCI. Was blown away by his speed. Wow. Defense in general was great. ST was pretty good. Offense was pretty Abysmal outside of Petterson. But expected without Collaros, Demski and Pokey.

Like 9 years in a row... Thank you Osh...thank you Trinity. Unbelievable era of success. Even when playing the whole season on "hard mode" (unnecessarily!) they still pull off double digit wins. Incredible stuff.

Gauthier Sheehan Osh ....but seriously, that offense was repulsive, but it was fun watching the next generation of D and ST. Awesome to get to double digit wins for like 9 years in a row... Excited for playoffs, but whatever happens, I'm stoked for next year too.

Weird year. Looked like stale dog water and still got 10 wins.

Jenkins needs to be in the roster for the playoffs

I can't wait until next week when none of our starting DL gets any pressure!

Smith does not look out of place at all with defensive reps Bailey is damn quick off edge..and has bull rush strength...and is very technically sound So why were these 2 not getting reps all yr...imagine how further along and possibly impactful they would be at this point in season... Jaworski looks like a Romanowski clone out there...looks to have some serious potential in a multifaceted role

This isn't new though. What many people have been complaining about (not going to rehash the same old arguments) has been happening for a couple seasons. This is just the first time the team hasn't been able to overcome the obvious problems and now more people have come around to the idea that maybe it's time for a change. These guys are Bomber legends and I don't think anyone will dispute that but all good things come to an end at some point.

I mean, we're tired of being the Grey Cup favourite

Clearly you haven't read the comments on this forum...

Jaworski has kind of the Ceresna, inverse Casey Sayles vibe. Not a great get off, but huge motor. Could see him being useful at either edge spot and 3 tec too. I'd put him or Jenkins on over Person for playoffs. Jenkins is pure get off press the edge type guy. Going to blow contain a bunch, but also going to get into the backfield a bunch. We haven't had that in years.

Is it just me or is the D line better. With the young guys I mean?

Not on board with all the Wilson hate...these his first real game reps...ever...without the first stringers for most part He needs reps...and he gonna get them

That throw is a good example of what will happen with the shorter endzone. That corner to the pylon route dies. Ball was about 15 yards underthrown on what needed to be a 25 yard toss.

What is Chris Jones upto these days? Maybe he can come in and replace Jake Thomas with Duron Carter for 2026?

Like the look of the D actually. Hope the young DEs show well and we can see Shay and Smith get some reps. Resting who they did makes sense for the most part. Either young guy who is our only hope to win in the playoffs (Vaval, BO, Pokey) or old guys that could use a rest (Zach, Bryant, Willie and Vaughters). I do wonder if they aren't happy with Person's play and are auditioning the other young DEs.

Honestly the defence doesn't look bad.......We got nothing from our D-line for the most part so a couple new ends, get a chance to maybe show something.....

they have had several seasons now to right the ship...I give the first Cup fail a mulligan...but since they should have been doing whatever to right the ship...and turn it back around...and would have been real easy too Instead...they have let it degrade further for 3 yrs now....to the point where we are at...question is....are they able to do it now with the people in charge?....I have my doubts.....and what transpores in playoffs will be a good indicator...same ol same ol and loss due to similar reason/issues.....see ya later

At the least, I don’t mind seeing if the new DE’s can do anything

I don't want Osh or Walters gone, personally... I'd say if they want they should absolutely be back next year. Look, Osh doesn't project anything to the media or the fans but he's not a dumb guy. I'm sure he's done some reflecting of his own. Give the guys atleast a year to right the ship. Honestly it feels disrespectful to me to just throw these guys to the wolves after what they've brought to this organization. Hate seeing fans turn instantly on players/coaches. I do get this is pro football, and would it be warranted? After this season... Probably. That being said. I'll be happy if there back. Grass being greener, or something like that 1000% status quo has been "working" Well said

So we're going to play two DEs again because we need Ayers for Teams? Mother Trucker. If Kramdi is out, I'd like to see Smith start at his spot.

And I shudder to think who we might tag as the heir apparent to O'Shea. There's a dearth of quality coaches in the CFL .. for all our pissing and moaning, we have it pretty good (with that said, everyone has an expiry date).

Officially a Sold Out Season. Credit to Wade and all the front office staff. Really nice piece from Our Man Tait, talking about the work that's gone into it and I'm encouraged to read that Wade is already planning on "bigger and better" next year, so it doesn't seem like he's going anywhere...
