So @Noeller Did you go to the interview?

This would make me want to dial back my criticism of Zach from this particular game for sure. I’m still convinced they need to go with Dru Brown moving forward.

And I’ll add this..That was the last time I have the sound on for a game on TSN. That was atrocious, and their bar is very low. Whoever said it on here was right, football is an annoyance to the network. I love the CFL forever but I unequivocally hate “TheCFLonTSN”. Everything about it. The hokey gimmicks, the panel, the production, the forced “humour”. The inane and idiotic announce teams. The 2000’s era graphics. You get Rod Smith doing play by play when the game moves too fast for him so all he can do is yell the players last name slowly. Or Neilson screaming like a preteen. They’re a sports network who don’t have a single person, not a SINGLE one who knows how to call a football game. That **** channel and their **** broadcasts are wrecking the league. For me it even took a little away when we won in 21.

Not enough Giles Lezi’s these days..

I know what cost us these last two Grey cups. Those god damned hockey jersey alternates. Just the fact that they exist. Messing with the uniforms was bad juju.

Case in point. I’d disagree on Milanovich-Litre. That’s the kind of guy loser teams sign in FA. You’ve gotta be able to draft guys who do that stuff.

Yeah the drafting’s a huge issue. They’ll barely have any starting quality Canadians at all in 2025 at this rate. We’ll have an aging Demski and Olivera, couple OL and 20 gritty special teamers from Bishops who run a 4.9 40.

If O’Shea had his way, they’d have been trotting out Drew Willy well into 2017. Remember that.

Not to just crap all over everything, but a legitimate question. Did Walters not make a single move or signing all season post-TC? Did he and the front office do anything at all? Who’s the last impact player they’ve scouted? Dee Alford? Cole? Something’s definitely weird in the organization and has been trending that way over a year now. Was Ringmaiden a bigger loss than we’d thought?

Your guess is as good as mine. There’s a quite a few stupid reasons for it, and very few good ones. I don’t know that I’ve seen an OL get consistently knocked on his can as much as Kolo. Idgaf what John Hodge says. The guy’s sub-par and we all know it.

For me the DL issue is the interior. Since Stove left, they don’t push the pocket at all from the middle. Either the ends collapse it or the QB gets all day. Furthermore, without Willie and all his knockdowns I’d bet the D would be dead last in yards allowed.

And he shouldn’t be. Eli is a quality player I’m eating a ton of crow, but no he is not a bad QB. Still a goof, but he played well. Credit.

Maybe he should be the Fullback then.

The body really goes downhill fast after around 33.

He has his good days but as a whole, it’s starting to look like the game is passing him by. Hasn’t ever really had an answer for max protect. It’s how Hamilton shitkicked us in the 2019 regular season. Tbh, I’m quite surprised more teams haven’t used it exclusively against us.

Our secondary used to come flying down on everything and lay out big hits, right up until the beginning of last year. BA’s been playing much softer since his injury and they don’t really have any big hitters to make up for it. Parker can do it when he’s coached to. So can Nichols. The rest, I’m not sure either way.

I don’t think it would have mattered. The offence couldn’t do anything anyway by that point. It’s not close. Put Collaros in that era and he’s slightly above average at best.

They tried to use the sweeps to Demski as tendency breakers so much this year that they turned to just tendencies.

I’ve still never seen a second of footage from the postgame in 2007 never mind the last two years

Not that it would make a lick of difference but if we wanted to prepare a couple questions/statements, I’d be willing to call in to cjob tonight. Pigrome? Nah, he wouldn’t have done anything different. Agreed the focus needs to be 2025 Also, I gotta go back to the punting. How in gods name did they roll with Sheehan and his crappy gimmick all year?

It’s a little more nuanced than that. I don’t want to see the club hamstring itself paying 600k to a quarterback who doesn’t play well in the fall. I don’t want to see a repeat of Dunnigan/Danny Mac and that’s what this is starting to look like.

Do or Die made a joke listing a bunch of posters as “veterans who should be cut” earlier in the thread. @rebusrankin was replying to that

I’m still pissed off, but after reading that, like ****. I’ve always said I wouldn’t trade MOS for any other coach in the league. I don’t think that anymore. I’d take Rick Campbell with the talent we have now. Yup. Gotta take a long hard look at who’s getting paid and why.

That bolded part is simply someone in a management role who doesn’t want to do the hard parts of his job. Seriously, does MOS think this is a ******* Disney movie? How can you think like that as a pro head coach? When the mantra has been process and preparation for nearly a bloody decade. Actually JFC.

That should be our core anyway. You get rid of those guys it’s pretty much the Other Bomber Forum where everybody posts like Gail calling into the coaches show.
