No, you were building a strawman argument. Because no one wrote off this game. I implied I expect a struggle on the first drive with all the change over and rust, and that if we start 11+ Canadians we deserve what we get. I don't trust players to make the right choices, we saw biggie and BA play when they shouldn't, amongst others last year. That's why we have training staffs and coaches. Players can seldom make those kinds of decisions objectively. The nature of TCs today don't come close to replicating game action either, it's not a good tool for how a guy feels or how ready they are.

Its true, but I don't know how last years is soo easily washed away for most people on here. The previous year we got beat by a really good Tor team, with tremendous coaching. last year we got beat by Fajardo and Maas. We didn't get out coached, we didn't get beat by competitive talent. We skuttled our own ship. Funny thing is, if it happens again or things go upside down, all these people will jump on the bandwagon and pretend they were on it the whole time. Just like they did for a couple monthes after the GC loss lol.

And tbh, that is the type of attitude we need on this team right now. You bolded it, then didn't read the next sentence? lol. You tried soo hard to miss the point.

They shouldve made some cuts between pre season week 1 and 2. I mean does any one think cutshank needed or warranted a 2nd game to continue to screw up returning? We kept guys around to not play them. This would be questionable in any league. Vets don't like tc and pre season by and large. Doesn't mean it isn't needed / important. Also, any guy coming off a serious injury should play. You never know how most recoveries have gone until you actually play on it.

You should rewatch the GC
-
Nope. Because 1, it isn't based just on that, and 2, talent jumps off the page. Potential and talent level is the easiest, fastest thing to recognize in sports, if you have even a modest clue of what you are looking at. We had more guys who won championships at their previous stop, guys with more NFL games, more 5 star prospects, and more feldman freak list guys and types of guys this year then in the previous 3+ camps combined. We had a huge crop of guys that were on our NL for a year +. Having a single guy like adams who is an absolute NFL outlier of an athlete, the elite of the elite, is a rare thing up here. And we had multiple guys like that.

Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread

I suspect the restructure was on the table for a while if we needed it. I think we likely took it because we will be air lifting KR, pr qbs, possibly dbs, wrs, and maybe delving into cut canadians. A bunch of roster questions haven't been firmly answered yet. I don't think any pick up will happen this week though. Its just flexibility to make some going forward. We have a lot of roster shuffling to do for the game this week. I think Coleman was a fringe PR guy and we probably are going to have a guy healthy that was questionable. Griffin is a big modern Sam type body who started a handfull of games for the stamps last year and played 13 games with em. We picked him up like 2-3 weeks ago. He dressed for the last pre season game, and played late in the game. But with the angles being such trash it's not possible to really judge how he did. Yeah, we need those kinds of guys. Not Houstons. -

Sounds like the usual bonus money swap for base with a bit of savings. Also sounds like we cut Coleman. -

Recently? Might be a preventative thing or a comfort deal. Hope he still doesn’t need it. If he does he might as well pack it in now. -
You have to really set it up and prioritize blitzing to counter specific looks. Show and drop a lot, move guys around, etc. delay blitzing a db from the blind side is about as good as it gets. Sending 1-3 guys on a regular basis especially spread out is awful. Our defensive success came with getting pressure from our front. Creativity is better spent on front alignments twists etc.

Is that a penalty these days or no? I haven't seen any thing on uniform code of conduct since blink got penalized/fined for having nikes with a white swoosh where the tape fell off. So he started blacking the swoosh out with a marker lol. -
Sucks kelly is hurt. Shouldn't guys just returning be on the list? Or the 6 game? It'd be nice if we had a reasonable time line for guys day to day vs month to month etc. But we'd just obfuscate that reporting too. It is, but it's also week 1 of the season following a GC loss due to roster miss management, after we miss managed the crap out of the pre season and TC. Gnash gnash gnash gnash
-
Who said released? We're talking about roster management....
-
We should have a poll on the GDT, who ever makes it, make it happen! It'll get there, but I don't think it'll start there.

Odds we go 2 and out in the first series? Im a say 5:1

Such a dangerous thing to be writing off games. Its bad enough we do it at the end of the season. If we do it at the beginning we are cooked. Its a far cry from the days of Mos talking about wanting to get wins when ever we could. The dynasty team we have has been taken for granted. We don't need to use the naturalized american, we don't need to get more than 4-5 snaps in a niche role out of a DI, we should start and play all the canadians and role guys like they are stars, just draft cover team guys and it'll be fine. It drives me insane. Especially after seeing the best group of defensive talent in a bomber TC ever.

Lber sounds like Kyrie slides to mac, cole at wil, and kramdi at sam. Hope not though.

If thomas plays limited reps, and we dress another imp de wiht garbutt out it should be better than the DT post atleast. If we DI one of the imp DTs and camp him out on the bench I'll blow a gasket. Hope BA is back to his old self. We will see a lot of what he has left right away. -

What doman has done in bc with the fan support has been nothing short of a miracle. He gets fan involvement, how to market, and how to mix attractions with football. They should let him plan the GC half time shows for as long as he will do it.
