That whole province is a **** hole... It's what happens if Rural Alberta gets to be a whole province. Hard pass from me...

Doug Brown summed it up nicely on X about 6 hours ago:
"I think the frustration with this season does not lie in the reality that the championship era has come to a close. It's that it feels like the team never gave itself the best chance by what they didn't do to fill the cupboard. This season was a proverbial knife to a gunfight." 
Yep, that's on Walters & maybe even Miller. A huge organizational blunder. 
 

Season was fumbled from the GM, on down.  Recruiting and free agency were duds.  The roster we did have was mismanaged, on a weekly basis.  Questionable schemes on both sides of the ball, inconsistent QB play and no major adjustments made all year.
We needed significant changes to coaching and the roster, at the start of the year
Glaringly obvious now..........
 

Least enjoyable season in 10 years. Made worse by the fact that we all saw it coming a mile away.
Future looks grim.

Why didn't mr. all knowledgeable fix this 4 years ago?

Well, Wade can clean house if he wants as everyone's contracts are up so it won't affect the salary cap for coaches & admin. If he doesn't do something this year then he never will. 

We all agree that Wade knows what he's doing... The best in the league at his job.
Can we just have faith that he knows how best to fix this?

Please please let this be the last time I ever see Jake Thomas on a football field.  

Regime over.
Been a fun 5 years for sure. Grateful for that.
Rebuild time 

Houston's jump there was comically bad.

I'm always shocked at the lack of respect for Deatrick Nichols, but he never has stats... Just always locks down and rarely gets thrown at. 

DD or Maas

wait, you're telling me you don't want to drive to moose jaw after the game?

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
 

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

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.
 

Wilson is not a toolsy QB at all.  Out of 20 passes, 1 was great.  That's ******* horrific for any QB at this level.  He can't pass on the move and the only reasonable skill he has is running off a rollout/boot.
Low velocity passes, poor accuracy, poor decisions.  Can't put the ball on a guy.  Any pass over about 5 yards is a lob or in the dirt.  Guy has zero confidence is his own arm.  There's not anything to develop there on a guy who is 28 by next training camp.

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.

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.
