    Some are and some really are not.   I've been to reserves in which the amount of garbage and waste thrown around everywhere is eye opening.       Picture a really bad episode of  Hoarders... but with the garbage outside of the house.  

     

    That’s an apt description of the reserve down the highway from my small town. The way some treat their dogs is despicable. When they tire of them they drive them into town, drop them off and assume someone will take them in. 
     

    Fortunately, more often than not, they’re right. It’s how I wound up with the one I have now. 
     

    One might think that some of the support they receive could be used for spaying and neutering.

    What did that rider receiver just say? Don’t believe the press?

    “If you aren't careful,

    the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed

    and loving the people who are doing the oppressing”

    gets into lil funks where he is trying to force things

    What's causing him to feel like he needs to force it?

    With his, and other QBs, happy feet there's a reason...an oline allowing him to get hammered.

    There's usually an action/reaction reason for these things, I would think. So what's the reason for the forcing it reaction? Lack of confidence in Buck  making the perceived correct play calls? Not having faith in the rest of the offense? 

    Forcing it smells of desperation. If so why might he feel that way?

    I know this is typical commentary for the coach and there was a time where I may have said to myself that even though the response is lukewarm, behind the scenes I'm sure he's spitting fire. Now...as bizarre as it sounds...I wonder which of us is deluded. Me for thinking we have rather pressing issues that need to be addressed, or him for seemingly not thinking there are any that a short memory and a week off won't cure.

     "...It happened, and I think the most important thing now is for the guys to get on their break and forget about it and get some rest. It’s one of those games. It doesn’t mean we don’t have a good football team.”

    Which is coaching. It seems incredible that a first place team at 10-4 could cause such consteration among its fabase as most teams would be happy with that record but let's face it. Too many huge hills & deep valleys. There's no consistency this season. We're a real Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde as well as bad road team. 

    So much this.

    Been following this team since I was a kid in the 70s. As a kid there were many heartbreaks with teams that had so much potential but came up empty. It might have been easier to take had the potential not been there...but the squandering of potential is always sad.

    John Daly comes to mind. So much potential and talent seemingly squandered. 

    I came into this season filled with that notion of a team with so much potential to right the wrong of last year's GC. The re-signing of important vets...the return of Lawler...the potential of another Wpg born back, etc...

    Instead we're getting this schizophrenic team who doesn't seem to know who it is from week to week...world beaters or potential-squanderers?

    I can take the down/rebuilding years...it's all part of the game...but watching these guys come out flat, giving up early leads and either having to scrap back to win...or lose...to inferior teams really p*sses me off. Combine that with some of the most incompetent officiating I can remember and I'm a frustrated camper.

    I'll be the first to admit I don't have the football acumen that some on here do but I can't help but lay the blame for this frustration at the feet of coaches. Yeah professionals should be able to get themselves fired up/prepared for games but damn it, it's up to coaches to MAKE SURE that's happening.

    If the only thing firing you up for a game is losing the previous game...well that doesn't seem like a recipe for success

    As a devout, unenlightened follower of this team our offensive success seems like a no-brainer to me.

    We have the best running back, the best qb, elite receivers and a high quality short yardage qb

    Run for 4-5...throw for 4-5...sneak for 1...throw deep occasionally...repeat til the opponent is demoralized

    When we struggle I am completely flabbergasted.

    But but but but Ballsy said everyone was overacting and to call it even for the helmet to helmet hit that Jeffcoat laid on Dolagala!!! Oh wait, it was actually Lawson on that play and it was a 100% football play on a sack that happens virtually every game. F**k that guy is such a steaming pile of runny dog s**t covered in puke, wrapped in a soiled diaper filled with fish guts that has been left out in the sun in 30+ degree heat for 9 days. Fits right in with that team and fanbase.

    The penalty was actually called on 9 (Walker)...not 99...and I didn't see anything warranting a flag on 9. The penalty wasn't roughing the passer...it was unnecessary roughness.

    In short I have no idea who the penalty was actually on or what it was for.

    Getting pretty fn fed up with CFL officiating

    It's a high bar but I have never heard Suitor be more insufferable. Cringingly effusive over VAJ while disregarding Wpg's performance against BC as a "one off" because, hey, look what they've done against Calgary.

    As if there is any comparison btwn Wpg & Cgy.
