I give the stamps all the credit. They dealt with our push at the end, and they did everything they had to to win the game. It wasn't the defensive performance of the decade. We left points out there. Both Nichols and Streveler guys that would have been tds. Calgary did everything it had to in order to win. and we did not. It was a defensive battle and a great game. Calgary didn't do anything defensively we weren't capable of beating.

Agreed. Even if we see the best nichols ever, I still think that streveler package gets more use next year. With harris, streveler, and demski its just a nightmare. 3 guys who can run, 2 guys who catch, 1 guy who passes even if you only use it a few times a game the D has to spend soo much time preparing for it. Opens up a ton for the regular offense.

That list is just awful. lmao @ fb instead of a 5th wr.

nah the als under don Mathews, and previous Buono led super teams I liked. Despite some greasy stuff with the als back then. I just really do not like these two organizations. If insomnia becomes an issue ill give it a try. 😁 agree

A team I don't want to see win is going to win. Outside of the riders, these are two of my least favorite franchises.

age modified by catastrophic injury. If it wasnt for the two injuries mo would still be a MODP candidate. And our season would have been very very different. Would love to have him as a LBer coach. The best solo open field tackling sam in this era for my money.

Of course, I've seen it. But to get noticeably better talent wise would be a huge deal. It's going to be really hard to maintain the same caliber of team, little on add to it. A lot of our FAs are guys we need back. That doesn't leave much room to go out and add. Demski could well be poised for a raise, The OL, Medlock, jeffcoat, biggie, JSK is going to be bound for a good size raise, brandon alexander etc. I dont see any of those guys needing to take Less money. The likes of JSK, jeffcoat, biggie, alexander and the OL fa's are likely to be prime targets for other teams. Add onto that the possibility that we try to lock up streveler to an extension this off season to prevent him from hitting FA next year (which would be great) and its tough to see a lot of free cap space.

I would take trestman over mos in a heart beat. The offense and defense both showed enough at various points this year to keep the respective COs around. That said, we have limited ability to improve our talent from where we ended the season. A system change is our biggest hope at a major improvement. Its a huge risk though.

fantastic news. Suhk is the next big guy to lock up. If we get him and biggie then thats huge.

He didnt play any where near as good as bond played... He was solid in run pro but constantly exposed in pass pro. When he slid over to tackle it was even worse. There is a good reason why no other team has kicked the tires on him, and why he has sat on the bench for soo many games in his career with out getting scooped.

I think we have to look long and hard at a few vets. Wild, ogopogo, nuefeld, and dressler. Id take dressler back in a reduced role at reduced pay in a heartbeat, but we can't rely on him. Randle has also seemed more and more mortal. I expect gray to nab nuefelds starting job next camp. I could see nevis being a cap casualty too, just due to money and the ratio. I like nelson as well. Quick and shifty. Id still like to see us recruit a few high up side return men though. In the cfl you never have enough weapons. id love for us to add a no1 wr. But im hoping we make better use of guys we have, in particular the nucks. I hope we keep bennett at qb3 as well.

All depends on where he is at with his progress in next years camp. I certainly wouldn't hand over the keys to him. If you are looking to move in his direction I think you bring in a vet like glenn to push him and make him fight to win a spot. Its a terrible idea to hand a green qb the starting reigns with out a camp battle.

Them and no one else. The rest of the league, leagues fans and pundits have long held that the als are the biggest ? at qb in the league. Thats a strange defense to choose. Since streveler put up more passing tds per start then nichols, more tds in total, and then considering the game we just saw out of nichols passing. One dimensional weapon vs no dimensional weapon? Averaged more yards per pass (be it marginally) and a much higher passer efficiency.

Imo if we were going to go that direction we would need 1 more legit cfl qb. Streveler is the future but needs insulating and someone to help groom. Id be in for giving reilly a huge short-term deal. Id also be in favor of bringing in trestman. the difference is the als have not had the replacement guy at any point in that time.

I wish I knew. Some ridiculous ticky tack calls in coverage. I could just see them thinking, in no other world of football is that a penalty. I continue to be disgusted by what is consider PI these days. Gross. The big difference was when under pressure BLM stood tall, stepped up into the pocket and threw. Nichols has been tucking the ball at the first sight of pressure and has seemed confused by the option to run himself. I suspect the ladder is from his lingering knee injury.
