Bottom line, oshea has lost the edge he had prior. Too much complacency with this team coach included.

Even if we win it doesn't change the fact that the defensive line they're messing is bullshit and the roster usage is sub par. They've won a lot last few years and people still complain they do it on hard mode with the roster usage.

For what? Playing a lot of years? Guy has never been exceptional. In his prime he was a depth piece.... that he's been trotted out like some superstar in his twilight years doesn't change that.

There's tons of ways to get a proper DL on. Ayers as mentioned before can comenoff, vanterpool can stay off... and those are the easy moves.

Ayers off real lineman on. Easy Ed Tait also has to carry water for the team.

Kornelson was deemed expendable already... so naturally he gets on the roster when Adams who has made an impact this season sits, a d woods who started last season on a better defense than this sits.... it's ******* criminal.

Unlike the riders.

Wait a ripper bar went grimey....

Because the rider suck. They are ******* clownshoes.

Man I wouldn't be bragging about that last game... wasn't well played at all.

The point is, there were plenty of people said "hey Lawler is good just not getting lots of opportunities", where as there were others insisting that receivers weren't all that good. Opportunities are the key and we don't give guys opportunities unless an incumbent gets hurt or completely shits their pants.

No your argument that guys who are cut and don't immediately go on and do huge things for a new team aren't worth fussing over. Here's an example: Kenny Lawler. He was cut from BC, let's say the Bombers were set at receiver and didn't pick him up... would that have made him one of these guys not to get fussed over? When he was first here he was just a ham and egger too. Wasn't until lapo left and collaros became starter that Lawler emerged. Opportunity and time are what players need to grown into impact players.

This choice of phrasing...

Your argument is bad and you should feel bad.

But it's the gm not the coach!!111!!!

Aww thanks.

Worth noting as well we haven't won the big game since he's taken over as starting C.

Hey if you are going to give calgary credit for anything, their tailgate scene is really good. Debate where it ranks compared to other stuff sure, but the fans who do the tail gating know what they're doing

Geeze you just really explained a lot of the important losses this team has suffered the last few years...

Wins are definitely superior to losses.

I might have said this before, but basically in 2019ish guys like Thomas and Kramdi were depth pieces, now they're starters... canadian talent fell and I don't really see their plan to improve it. Sure Wallace is an up and comer, but neufeld is on his last legs, Kolankowski never had any legs to start with... Eli been her a while and never gets to start... Brady and demski sure they're great, but demski is not young, clercius good young... but we're looking at a couple nice young pieces, a few older guys and then a lot of meh.... since apparently the linebackers we drafted are just special teamers...

Keep in mind the riders front 7 is good, but their secondary is the drizzling shits, so yeah Brady was never going to go off in the run game here. Teams know that you beat the Bombers by limiting the run game.

Honestly too much time was spent living in their glory days of 2019, 2021 etc. Losing by 1 in 2022 with collaros on a bum ankle was the worst outcome. Delayed changes, and the making 2 more cup games just reinforced the idea their core was still good enough. Too little change post 2022 is the problem IMO. Yes I know there has been a lot of roster turnover... but I think a change in philosophy was warranted because steady as she goes isn't working anymore.

Know what was more critical in our 2 Grey cup wins? Players like Thomas and kramdi were depth, not key starters. Lost a lot of Canadian talent and depth since 2019.
