  1. Would love to see them work in a 2nd qb more. Seems a waste to park a guy like streveler on the bench until a minute left in an ass whooping game
  2. Vaughters has been OK to be honest... he'd look a lot better with some better performances at other positions on the line.
  3. I thought J. Jones was a decently big FA addition... maybe not as a surefire all-star but that one was one I was certain was going to work out. Instead he sits on the one game IR because reasons. Here's another thought I've been having... anyone notice how the only game no one has questioned the OL for was game 1? And also how the game plan was universally praised after game 1 and game 1 only? Coincidence? I honestly think a ton of this teams offensive problems stem from collaros and his inability to adapt and change the way he wants to play. He's talked about how much he hated being in Sask cause they wanted him to play a system he didn't like... he's been total dog **** 3 Grey cups in a row, his performance in the regular season has slipped bigly the last 2 seasons... he's become a sitting duck in the pocket mostly... I dunno, I just think he's holding the team back right now.
  4. This idea that Zach is still a top teir qb after one good game is hyperbolic. If it were one bad game no one would be talking about Zach losing it but we're going on 2 years now of the truly good games from zach being few and far between.
  5. There's nothing wrong with this team that isn't easily fixed. They got veteran options at receiver, they have 2 qbs they can feel comfortable playing, they have bodies who seemed decent in preseason on the defensive line.... they have options, all they need to do is ditch the complacency and make some hard choices with the roster and sit your old boys down if they're not getting it done.
  6. I noted the lack of vertical shots as well, but I think it had a lot to do with the fact that collaros wasn't ever comfortable in the pocket.
  7. But cracks don't just disappear. The age of this team is a concern and that first half was maybe the worst half of football I can remember and we've all seen some **** from bomber teams.
  8. Means he's being used as depth to give the better players a rest.
  9. Yeah i have no doubts they will win convincingly next game... but what does that mean when you don't have a bye between every game?
  10. Was a classic Jake tackle, reaches out and hangs on as the back is running past him. And I said during the game, T. Jones makes a lot of tackles but not a lot of plays.
  11. But it's not just one game, it's a pattern of things that has been emerging for a couple seasons now. Leaning hard on old guys who can't go like it's still 2021. This type of game will happen more and more often unless they make some hard decisions.
  12. Disagree... watch it over and over and learn from the mistakes. This wasn't an isolated incident, this highlighted some problems that have been creeping in for a while
  13. Kick coverage was pretty good.
  14. yeah all those linebackers are a luxury this team can't afford anymore. Time to make some hard decisions and give your aging DL some actual help.
  15. honestly I am finished with Collaros. He has always liked to force tight windows but he doesn't have the arm to do it anymore and he gave the stamps 14 points trying to force things. He's just old and hasn't shown the ability to change his game. He's not the future and I'm not sure he's the present outside of the occasional game like last week. All this for a high price tag. Time to cut bait on some of the old players. 2019 was a long time ago.
  16. and dress a 3rd who does nothing that I can see... meanwhile our 34 year old DE is gassed already and totally useless but no backup to be seen.
  17. Yeah the DL was less than useless. 4 games in and willie is totally gassed. Jake is Jake and can barely even be a speed bump anymore. Fix the roster issues. If Eli isn't good enough to take Kolankowski's spot stop dressing him because 7 OL is a luxury this team can't afford.
  18. Yeah but making changes for losing grey cups in the past has led the team into a hole they were lucky to dig out of. I'm not saying keep osh forever, just that he has more rope because while winning the cup is the ultimate goal, being in the game is a better result than most teams get.
  19. But sometimes mistakes happen... it's safer to stick with the status quo because losing in the grey cup is the 2nd best outcome to a season.
  20. Yeah but sneak a peak isn't exactly unpopular either...
  21. The risk is that you end up with a coach or gm that does upset the apple cart.
  22. If they're looking to make the stampede bowl a thing they are probably better off playing it in the afternoon on a weekend. Not sure you're gonna outdraw all the other activities that happen in the evening during stampede.
  23. No one is getting fired after this year, especially if they have a good regular season record. They still have lots of rope.
  24. Yeah the big thing for me is their mainstays on DL are Willie and Jake at 34 years old and the young gun Vaughters at 32.... that's not sustainable. We desperately need an injection of youth at end to keep the old guys fresh. At this rate we'll burn them out by the end of summer.
  25. That's easy, a linebacker. This group does an awful lot of good things, but the way they've utilized the defensive line the last few years is bad. Full stop. The way they refuse to sit hurt guys in important moments is bad flat out.
