Nothing new, this has been mentioned ad nauseam, but the Oilers are as good as they are going to get with the limited salary they can fill out their depth with. I read that 40% of their current salary goes to two players, with the remaining 60% left to build a solid team around them. As we’ve seen in the last five seasons, it doesn’t work. Bomber fans saw that last season as two receivers made almost 500 grand! Talent but balance like the Panthers have (albeit with tax advantages etc) is the way to win in sport today. A solid core of stars with great draft talent and solid pick ups will win over a few superstars. Not sure the Edmonton management has accepted this truth yet, as they will run it back one more season before McDavid signs in Toronto 😆

He never has a sniff.

Glad to read that BO may not be injured as much as many have speculated. That being said, rest him until he’s ready to punish and go with the young guy. Excited about Wheatfall, the less greedy Lawler 😁

Looking forward to some Cooley moves on Saturday 👍🏻

Oh man, let’s hope so 🥺

This might be fake 😆

maybe someone could redo this for the riders, forever suck 🤣

Hate to say this but I pin that loss on the crappy, predictable offence we were running last season (and realistically the other two recent Grey Cup losses). Our defence didn’t have their best showing on that day for sure, but I’m very glad we have a new O coordinator this year (flame away Buckistans 😂).

He played well but he still was a big contributor to the Ticats loss. His easy drop of an important first down pass from BLM, ended up giving the ball back to the Riders who promptly scored the winning points. As he discovered when he went to Edmonton for the same reason a few years back, it ain’t all about the money 🙂‍↔️

Mitchell tosses a pick, he’d better watch out or he may get Rourke’s title as the Best (not really) QB in the league.

Both teams are putting on a Bad Football clinic. Oops there’s a Rider missed FG 😂

I agree, but Ottawa has played this way with their starter too many times to count, to not see an alarming trend. Plus, we just won against the best(?) QB in the league with our banged up backup 😁 Marcel D was a piece of something alright, but you can’t argue with winning a Cup so early in the history of a new team.

I thought at times the last few years that Ottawa was going to make some steps forward, only to be disappointed by either the lack of talent in many areas (not #1QB or receiver), coaching, or bizarre management decisions (why pay a receiver so much when you need a much better Oline, and a revamped D?). I guess it took Osh and company 5 years to get their Cup and be a perennial power. Not sure I feel the Redblacks can get there with this current regime. Time will tell I guess.

I know it’s just one game but both lines (O and D) appear miles better than anything we trotted out there in the last few seasons. Could that explain the disappointment of at least the last 2 Grey Cups?

Replacing Zack in 2027 or try and get Dru B back? How old will Strev be then?

The BC offense looked a lot like some of the Bomber offences over the last few years. Big difference is they have no Brady and no Zack.

I think they’re hooped if he remains standing 😁

BTW … Panthers are leading the Oilers 2-0😁

Nice return new guy 😁

Apparently no one is good enough for them LOL

Or wasn’t allowed to throw 🤔

Wow, just wow 🤩 Beauty Strev to Demsk!!!

Time to take this to the next level Bombers! Let’s GO!!!!

Just like Canada has one tank (ie. if Trump isn’t careful we’ll send our tank to the border 😉), battleship, submarine etc. 👍🏻

This will also give us a good indication of how good a coach our ex is 😊
