they calling us for holding? man didn’t even need to do that

cf18 fly by is my favorite none football game day event

believing and hoping for a good time isn’t the same thing.

didn’t hear it, if he did he’s the only guy out side of the bombers defending hogan. and he’s the most inside the bombers org guy outside of the mafia.

i get your point, but we’ve down graded our coaching which from buck last year is pretty shocking. it is certainly a multi fold problem now though. talent is a big problem. short of perfect talent, i can’t see this scheme working great. with great coaching, i think this talent could be good but not great.

A dl of Woods, Adams, Lawson (when healthy, and Thomas (because hes AR till he retires sadly), wj, Vaughters, and Person would be deadly. Throw in bailey inplace of a back-of-the-roster canadian and you have a scary, scary front. Blitzing is hard to make work consistently in the CFL. Because of that, you are best off imo, if you run with the best mix of disruptive DL talent you can find.

And owns the largest kill "shelters" in north america. Over the last 30 years, they have a kill rate in the 70% range. So screw PETA, for the CFL, though any publicity is good publicity, I guess.

yep. that’s the hardest loss for me to swallow so far this year. idk how you can’t over come a game plan on the 3rd try in a month n change.

That was the 3rd time we played them in our last 5 games, though. going 0-3 by a total deficit of 43 points. The last game in a series like that should be the hardest for Calgary to win. Dropping back-to-back games vs the same team by 21 points each, then 2 games after that dropping a 3rd by 1 point isn't a positive for us.

if wilson makes the nfl pr, our wr core is cooked for the year.

i didn’t hear of any practice reports this week. combine that with the 4 days between games with 2 flights, plus one day of film review from last week and i bet the “walk through” was mostly airport/hotel. It was probably two days of film and team meetings to unpack the last game and install for this week. I can’t see any significant changes in execution, prep, tackling etc.

Why does reality insist on being so assertive? Just gets depressing! Anyway, any given game day. ott despite having some good pieces, is not a scary team imo. You can't allow yourself to play down to them; they eat that up. But I don't think they have the grit to win tough, ugly games against us.

Boy, that looks like a tough depth chart to expect much out of. It'll be interesting to see if Smith or Allen gets decent reps this game, or if it all continues to go to Kelly. And we waste another di, again. Best hope for this game is Ott finds a way to struggle against us. It's tough to put up back to back big offensive out puts. Keys to the game, Find a way to slow down Ottawa. Secondary looks shakey, and ottawa has a good group of wrs. Plus brown and stanback. We can't win a shoot out here, so the D has to find a way to drag ottawa into an ugly grinding game. Find a way to sustain offense. We have to find a way to keep drives alive and stop going 2 and out. Teams X factor. Special teams is really where we aren't banged up, and have a lot of roster value invested. Vaval went off a few games ago, and Sergio has been outstanding this year. We will need that unit to pave the way today. Players to watch, Vaval, Lawson jr, Kramdi, Smith, Allen, Kelly, Jjones, Adams, Ayers, Mitchell, and always Qb1.

i’d consider stealing brooks from the riders pr too

imo allen can play corner or S, woodbey idk about corner. Dandy would be good. priester has still been kicking around too.

cam allen imo. we’ve seen the last few weeks the importance of having at least a stop gap cover guy on the bench. be nice if makonzo was good to go. i don’t mind seeing more rope for kelly to learn and grow at S. I’d rather see woodbey, but having a bunch of rookies in their first couple games isn’t ideal.

he’s been burned soo much this year, he should’ve been sat down weeks ago. i like the upside and project ability of young dbs in our system and that we find

it’s interesting they cut benson. if he was injured i’d think keep him on the ir. we cut laroux for benson in camp. don’t hate it just doesn’t make a ton of sense. Bonds out is addition by subtraction.

dbs are generally pretty plug n play though. No houston for me. that’s just aiming too low. yes charges dropped.

yep 1 year. idk i feel like guarantee has changed, i think teams can offer as much as they want. soo many changes hard to keep track. But unless atleast one of walters/mos is gone it might as well be guaranteed. turd sandwich of decisions, but i’d do the same.

Unfortunately, the round of musical chairs has ended at qb in the cfl, and we are left in a bad spot. I think Edmonton is the only team in the league as un sure of its qbing present/future. I don’t think any other team in the league would want to be in our position. That’s why I think our best chance at a shake up is trading Chris. If you can get a Powell, mbt, etc back up and deal with hogan that’s the best shot we’ve got. I like Strev and I think he could give us a solid offence if built around properly. But we don’t have any of the building blocks or system. I don’t think we are just in trouble this year at qb either. I don’t see any one we could get in the offseason that is a real qb1. I think we are going to be looking at guys like arbuckle for a while. In this era of the cfl, you can’t really expect the better teams to develop your next wave of QBs like we used to. They’d develop em, and if they didn’t take starting spots bad teams would give them a chance. The pipeline is soo dry that’s an extreme rarity now. It only gets worse with us being very hesitant to pull starters and give young guys a shot even in blow outs. what do you think changes next year? We already locked him up. We should be looking at him but unless we see a mafia shake up I don’t think that happens.

You just said he isn't going to be cut. So realistically, all his dollars are guaranteed. It sounded like they ran back the terms from this year of his deal. So I would expect 600k, with an off season roster bonus in the 100k range.

The upside with MBT, is he worked very well with jackson.
