How did Popp not address the future? He dealt for one of the top QB prospects in the league in the off-season. Trestman snowed that QB and the team. Ended up playing MBT for half a season FFS. How would he not get fired?

When you have an ancient QB, you better be working on the next guy. You should always be working on the next guy because #1 is one hit away from being gone, as Trestman experienced this season. That's my point with Buono and Hufnagel. When have they not had a guy ready to play on the sideline? Tate falters as a starter and BLM steps in as one of the greatest winning QB's in league history. Trestman isn't in that tier of coach IMO.

When has Buono or Hufnagel?

Teams make announcements before the playoffs all the time. There’s a moratorium the week of the Grey Cup. I wouldn’t treat Trestman as a victim quite yet. Sounds like he went a little tyrant this season and basically went against the wishes of the front office repeatedly in his roster decisions. He’s also yet to develop an even adequate QB in this league.

Riders sign Simon Rottier. What in the actual ****?

Oh no, Poop is going to tell them the secret of why every defense in the league knows their offense stinks! (Read Poop thread on RF for giggles).

24 points and 276 yards of offense from his arm and legs in 3 quarters. 2 TD's and the 3rd set up by a bomb to the 1 yard line, no turnovers. The Bombers had a hell of a time getting a clean pocket with Couture in Chungh's spot.

Also need to let coaches keep their ability to challenge until they lose one. Ridiculous that a coach needs to challenge that call to get it overturned and now can't challenge a bad call for the rest of the game. That same bad call could happen in the 4th quarter.

286 passes and 78 carries for Franklin. 22 TD's. 140 passes and 77 carries for Streveler. 21 TD's.

Augustine is not faster than Harris either. He runs hard but he's a pretty marginal player and he's going to have to bring a lot more than running hard to stick.

I liked Nelson as a receiver and on special teams covering kicks. Guy could be a DI candidate. Played DB in college too. Humes looked really good at DB. Got victimized by the refs on a big play he made in the 4th. Some solid tackles and physical play.

At running the ball, which is about 30% of a RB's job in this day and age.

Couture is brutal. Streveler can't even get his eyes downfield on most passing plays. Let's see Gray.

Medlock is not dressed.

It's protecting Medlock. Would be nice to use the opportunity to see someone who might actually be a CFL kicker, especially since we might be auditioning guys next season too.

Sad that Lankford is kicking. At least bring someone in off the street who might kick in a meaningful game, ideally a young Canadian.

Trestman is done.

If Nelson gives a spark to the return game could he stay on the roster for the West Semi?

My guess is they got tired of his inconsistency at doing his job (winning his gap) and not finishing plays. Lots of talent there but playing DL requires a lot of discipline and intelligent team play. If you’re going to freelance you better make a lot of plays.

Media votes. Most of them share their ballots pretty openly.

The Bombers did Poop a solid because if he was active after the trade deadline he’d be ineligible to play. Easily could have activated him this week with the guys sitting out.

Masoli shouldn't get rewarded for stats he put up against sub-.500 teams, and playing the Argos 3 times. Threw almost half his TD passes vs the Argos. His stats against playoff teams are not good. It would be embarrassing for the league if he's MOP.

They played the games.

Who cares? Those teams are done. Do you celebrate being taller than children?

Foucault totally gave up on that play. Bizarre. How do you keep a guy like that on your roster? Get your QB killed.
