    It is a tiny sample size in what was an exhibition game. Further to that, he wasn't high end by any stretch of the imagination. However, he did show nicely for a rookie. Who would you have taken out to put him in? What makes you believe he constituted any kind of upgrade? That's what we are talking about here. He was rostered all season, so what we are talking about is starting reps. I didn't see anything that led me to believe he deserved starting reps all season.

    Nobody is talking about starting reps.  He could have easily been a depth guy who rotated in occasionally and gained valuable reps without being in the starting line-up.  He was rostered but didn't see the field on teams afaik - all he did was teams.

    I don't think we have to fire him. He's on a year to year contract I believe. We can let him go gracefully by letting his contract simply expire.

    They can acknowledge that he won't be back without throwing him under the bus though.  All they have to say is this year wasn't good enough and there will be changes to the coaching staff - people can read between the lines from there.

    Damn, the Riders winning it in our stadium is a low point of my Bomber fandom. Especially after the way the last 3 went, and how the offseason was handled coming into this year. 
    Got a big “it’s ok, we already got your money” vibe from the club this season. 

    This.  I never once got the sense that the on-field product was the most important thing for the club this year.  It felt like as long as we're still selling out, we're fine even though there were a number of things that could have been corrected in-season (Hogan being the most glaring example).

    I've never once debated renewing my season tickets until this season and I'm still on the fence.  Most (if not all) of the people here have sat through terrible seasons before so it's not about only supporting the team when they are winning or expecting to be in GC every year but at least give me the impression you realize the team isn't good enough and are actively trying to get better.  I'm glad the club is doing well financially and all the work they have put into the gameday atmosphere is paying off but that doesn't mean a whole lot to me - I come for the football, not the Rum Hut.

    The Riders winning here was just the cherry on a s**t sundae of a season.
