I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, but my counter point would be to ask if you’re paying as close attention to the pieces those other teams have lost as well
Probably not. Maybe comparing us to other teams is foolish. But our biggest weakness was arguably the front 7 last year. I guess I was expecting us to acquire someone of note with a proven track record to help us out there. The guys we lost should have freed up some cash to do so, in theory.

Seems like a pretty good position to have got better at.
When you are already at the top it is hard to dramatically improve. Point me in the direction of the top 4 team from last year that is doing better.
I will wait…
God damn it everyone, just let me freak out!!!

???? Free agency opened 3 hours ago.
Please breakdown the new players we've signed and our draft picks. I'll wait.
Yeah, I know. But a bunch of the other teams were able to poach some valuable pieces during the tampering window. The guys we are losing, as much as I agree it is time to move on from most if not all of them, are not going to be easy to replace with CFL rookies.
Had we spent time actually developing guys last year I would probably be more confident that there was a succession plan in place.

But how many were wanting to target Schoen and BO too tho? The way I look at it we locked up the best available RB ...WR....Back-up QB and top 3 DE in WJ....Not too mention top DB in Nichols....they were all our own guys, but that says something to who we recruited, drafted, and signed as previous FA's
All those guys mentioned could have gotten and signed for more every where else in the league....I guess you could throw Bryant in there as well...still the top..if not top 2 LT in league until proven otherwise...if we moved on from him you know every team would be calling...same with Neuf...we can't help it that most our guys that were soon to be free agents are tops in their positions...and it seems like we been idle.
We also let some of ours walk as well who were due a price hike, but probably not worth what they were to be getting, and def not worth our time and money to match
Sure, but replacing them with who?
Name the positions where we have improved over last season (so far):
- QB(?)
- End of list?
-
Lot of teams that look better on paper so far this year. Our only pickup so far is Streveller. Putting a TON of stock into recruiting.

Is that the same as the Kings in Westwood? Same thoughts, if so. The shawarma was good but the fries are over seasoned.

I need free agency to open. Signing players we had last year is great, but I am anxious to see where we start to make improvements. Recruitment (or at least development/deployment of recruits) kind of sucked last year, so hopefully there is a surprise or two in free agency coming our way.

All that game did was give me PTSD about the Grey Cup all over again.

Would we give up a few percentage points on FGs for better kickoffs?

You'd better not be messing with us!

Having only 2 receivers who were healthy didnt help tho....plus rostering another one not 100 percent in Mcrae and not even putting him on the field, and having a healthy NOLO dressed...and seeing no use either..as we gimped around out there....oh yeah...and we had an import fullback on top of it all....good god
Glad BO is back and will be key to our offence again....not denying that...but is that price worth it?...if it means we sacrificed elsewhere...and was that a peak season and he won't replicate it again?....and if he misses even 2023 numbers....does it become a sore point?....guess we will see
100% it depends on what else we do. So far we are worse than last year. Let's see how we look in a couple weeks.

Hearing AJ O (the wolfman) to the Riders… gross
Damn. Good pickup for them.

Exactly. It's weird that people are now pretending BO was not the focus of our offence and what made it go last year.
He WAS our offence in the playoffs. Nobody else did ****.

Bet we would not have if Demski and Baily had been healthy. Plus if the D got one stop, we win.
God dammit. I feel sick all over again.

I’m going to try and be self-aware with this because I know I prefer Schoen over Brady myself, but I did have a conversation with my dad the other day where he made a very good point: we’ve never played Schoenball in the 4th Q to seal a win. We’ve made a habit of playing Bradyball. That stuff does matter and I don’t think I had really considered that until he said it.
Conversely we had Brady in the Grey Cup but.you could reaaaaallly feel the absence of a healthy Schoen.
