Chris Randle.  If he'd played a full season - Ian Wild

Someone said Willy's protection has been similar to Mitchell's this year. Sorry, but I just can't give a comment like that too much respect

At least...the conversation has gone from 'Willy sucks and needs to sit' to 'Willy should sit because he's hurt and Marve could use some experience.'
 
But to say that Marve gives us a better chance to win because of one half of garbage time...is just not even worth commenting on.

I watched the OL closely last night.  They got beaten a few times, but overall they had an above average game.

Indeed.  And have a slotback run a crossing route or curl if the RB is staying in to block.  I completely agree, I had a good view of most of those sacks.  Only 2 - 3 were on the OL.

Willy had time to chuck the ball downfield on the last play.  By the time he got sacked a couple of receivers were already standing still in the endzone.

They don't have the best pass D in the league either...nothing like that...

Mike walked into a team with little Canadian talent.  The Non-Imports brought in to fill the holes got hurt (Lucas, Alexander, Neufeld, etc).  The team dealt with multiple injuries (Suber, Sears, Moore, Watson, Anderson, Willy) and were competitive in many games (sans Edmonton and the Ottawa game).  
 
The team showed flashes... Leggett at safety, Bruce Johnson at HB, Sears & Wild at LB, Anderson on the DL, and Willy at QB.  The Canadian backup talent is younger and more promising than that of past years too.  
 
In past years, our team mismanaged games, and the play clock with veterans at the helm.  Sure, at the start of the year we did the same.  At the end of the game on Saturday, we looked to be the team with the better CFL game knowledge.  At the end of the half, BC screwed their chance at the TD.  At the end of the 4th quarter, Rory Kolhert hit the deck with 2 seconds left for one more play.  It's plays like this that will win games for us in the future.

I think finding better American OL needs to be priority #1

That's the problem...I emptied him...

I just get annoyed when people imply Willy is a lesser QB because he's a pocket passer

You know who John Murphy used to work for...yes?

one of the final few regular season games of CFL football versus guys strolling  around the rink at the beginning of a six or seven month season of hockey, saving their energy for the playoffs.
 
 
 
pretty easy choice.

Fair enough, but the term "scrap heap" would only apply to a minority of the 13 guys you bolded.
 
I would not give Walters an A+ this year but I appreciate many of the things he's done to change this team and his approach.  And not all of the moves that I've liked have worked.  We have yet to see any reward from bringing in Alexander, and after the swath of NI injuries we've had you think he'd somehow make it onto the field in a more significant role.  The draft picks are still more going out than coming in.  Import incumbents need more and better challengers.  He's taken some swings and missed.  Part of the business.  He's very safely in the "pass" zone in a pass/fail business right now.

The one and only reason the media is so gung-ho about talking to assistants... is because they were told they can't...

He's bracing for the hits because he's playing with sprained shoulder.

C'mon guys, consequences are the problem, they need consequences, there will be consequences

How is it even possible...to blitz for more than half the game and generate hardly any pressure?
 
The front 7 and OL looked dead out there today.  Props to the secondary for giving a good effort.

If in the past year you haven't changed or slightly revised an opinion...check your pulse...you may be dead

There were games they could easily have lost early in the season...there have also been games they could've won in the last few weeks.  

They fielded a better starting 24...that's progress.  When injuries began to happen, it became clear that depth was inadequate...progress still to be made.
