  1. That is a good idea. Taking a quick look at the schedule this year I see edmonton playing 2 road games with 5 days rest, both on the road. Both close loses, though that did come after a bye week atleast. I see similar with ottawa, but with a home game followed by a short turn around road game here, with out a bye week previously. In that stretch they played sunday at home, friday here, then they had the same turn around between the next 2 weeks in a home-away with edmonton. The amount of 5 day gaps ending with a road game is really high. 5 games isn't the worst, but when you add travel once it becomes a lot. 2 games with a short break and both being on the road is just brutal. We don't see all the stretches of 3 games in 10 days that we did early post covid, but we see a high rate of 3 games in 12-13 games with road travel once or twice. We had 3 stretches like that, with no byes before, and a 4 day turn around with travel this year. The schedule is already extremely long, especially for college kids making the jump. 5 days should be the minimum between games, ideally either a home and home or with a bye week before hand. Teams shouldn't play 3 games in 2 weeks or less.
  2. That is a great point. We don't need more nuisance to the situation, we need to be able to execute the basic stuff with rule enforcement. It's basic football stuff that is failing in terms of calls.
  3. Yeah. I get why the bombers challenged it. And it was a bad spot. But we just don’t have the tools to make an educated change like that in the cfl. The cfls challenge system hasn’t really evolved since it was first put in. The nfl has crazy angle and the ability to pick exactly the angle they need to see. They can’t even get the td sneak play right, how could they ever get a call like that right? The need for infrastructure to support the challenge system is dire. We don’t even have a good angle square to the goal line from the end zones. For spots, I think the future is the chip in the ball. But short of that they need to do some thing. Rapid stills, drones programmed to keep in view the ball and the yard marker, that stays square to the side line, a freaking frame by frame camera some thing. The worst part of this game isn’t even the difference in a win or loss for us or the argos. It isn’t even the perception of ineptitude of the league officiating. It’s that all the fans watched this should be thrilling end only to see the worst of what the league has to deal with. All year every spot in every single game is a game of plus or minus 1.5 yards. A few outlier times I’ve seen 2 plus yard errors. And I’m not talking forward progress or difference between knee and elbow. Im talking maximum forward progress spot plus 2 and times and the bottom of the feet minus a yard and a half. Apathy is the greatest threat to the league. And the greatest force behind apathy towards the league, is our reffing, discipline, and command centre.
  4. Yeah, unless Mitchell had unknown experience in the marines and hart came up with some toxic big guy nfl vibes doesn’t make a lot of sense. Im hoping that the mid season move to younger guys (largely facilitated by injuries) will bring about the much needed change for next year. That plus hopefully we win and a few guys like Jake hang em up.
  5. I’d say he’s a good qb, but bad at being professional. I think he’s doing what is in his best personal interest right now. I fully believe he loves bc as a market, it’s beautiful, low pressure, the owner is happy to spend and brings in big concerts, and till Rourke he’s had the run of the market. I think he believes some where deep down that he can some how push out rourke, which is what he wants most. So he’s doing his best to be radio silent only surfacing to toe the line. As such, I bet he’s thrilled to see rourke struggle and get a shot again. Would he be happy to sit on the bench next year for his full salary in B.C.? I think he might. But it won’t happen
  6. What happens if vaj is meh? Right decision but too late.
  7. The only good bye week is one that’s over.
  8. I don't think the PR reduces in size, but it terminates with the regular season. A bunch of teams are pruning the PR, so I assume it's prep for year end. Edmonton cutting guys who aren't gonna play etc. I wonder if any one cut will be of interest/use. I suspect we will only add guys if it looks like we will not have some one for the play offs. Hope person gets a look and hubert gets one more. Cant believe we kept mitchell all year. Plus both Case and Smith. Man the PR is ugly. Would be better if the IR was jam packed all year, but still just ugly not turning over spots more when we've starved for positional depth at many times this year.
  9. Idk if these were try outs for next camp or if they guys failed a hard check point. Had hoped to atleast get a look at hart.
  10. Dobson wasn’t bad by any means. Got straight up beat by a damn good 3 tech once. Mostly on twists he handed off to kolo as he should and kolo muffed it bad. kolo - F lofton - D Neuf - C dobson - C bryant - A-
  11. And the goal line fail plus all the fail on the ol
