I'm not sure how me watching several games this year in which Houston is beat and chasing down his man for a huge gain or TD for the opposing team is me having no idea on what I'm watching. I am not seeing Nichols doing this, if this is so common place then why are the other guys not having these same kind of plays on a more frequent basis. It is your opinion that the guy is a top 2 - 3 player and an all star... it is reality (not an opinion) that he is getting beat one to two times a game which isn't helping our cause. Just because he may see a few less targets doesn't negate the fact that he is making mistakes and has much more room to improve his overall game so that one day he "may" become an elite player.

Sorry if I prefer players not getting absolutely burned and torched one or two times per game. I said the exact same thing last year with Rose at around the same time of the season. I'm not sure if you were one of the people on here giving him excuse after excuse, but eventually the thick headed folks could admit the guy was a shell of his former self and was a liability on the field. At least Rose had the excuse of being injured, Houston does not. Hopefully he can develop into a solid player but at this point he's way hot and cold and laughable to suggest he's top 2 - 3 corner in the CFL. A top 2 - 3 CB doesn't get burned by Corny, Crum, Fajardo.... Prime example of a guy with fancy stats that doesn't tell the whole story.

Brady for showing intensity in the 4th Daramy-Swaray Zach HH Walker

I just watched the game on the PVR, those first 3 quarters were ugly. Kramdi looks like Bambi on ice, seriously what a liability on the field he was spinning in circles and biting on everything. Jeffcoat + Willie whiffing on lots of tackles that made a huge difference in the first half. Walker had a solid all around game he's under rated. Mike will be happy that DeMario Houston scored a freebie interception... all while being the only guy who was completely burned on the field for a massive 80 yard TD. It was nice seeing some fire or energy and some seriousness from the guys in the 4th quarter, completely different body language and maybe it was Brady and his intensity rubbing off on the others? Lawler is friggin awesome, now if Schoen can get off his cold streak then what a 1 - 2 punch. We need to bring in more guys like Daramy-Swaray, that guy doesn't whiff and is consistent. TBD on what happens going forward.... I'm glad they ended on a positive note but that first half was ugly as can be. Edmonton really wasn't doing anything special at all and we kept giving them chance after chance. This BC game will be very interesting (or possibly ugly) to watch. I hope they wake up during the break. Edit: Forgot about 2 more complaints... Pru-Crap on his sneaks Pierce on his play calling for the first 3 quarters... very bland and predictable.

Not good at all, jeeze the Redblacks are seemingly cursed. The league needs the team and star players like him.

I don't think the issue is one or two players needed to be recruited. The issue from what I saw is the whole team as a collective just looked like they checked out after building a decent lead and had ZERO urgency or killer instinct. Whatever the opposite of clutch is..... that is what everyone was doing against the Red Blacks. I expect receivers to make catchable catches, running backs to hold onto the ball tighter when up by a few scores and after already gaining a tonne of yards well past the first down marker, dlinemen being able to wrap up and make a tackle, dbs not watching from a distance as a mediocre qb and receiver make a pass and catch, etc....

Have any local sports media asked O'Shea about the roster choices? I'm guessing radio no longer has a coach's show or anything for someone to ask?

But he's a former navy seal! He has grit! /sarcasm

It definitely ruined my day and night, also many dollars were inserted into the swear jar because of it.

Then why does he get beat so frequently on one on ones?

MBT to the Riders? How much fun would that be!

It seems like he gets equally burned on the amount of plays that he does make. Very hot and cold. I said it earlier in the year when people were thrilled with his first 2 ints... he seemed to be on the bad end of several long bombs.

I might get flack because I suggested this earlier in the year... I think Houston also sucks.

Had one guy stood up in the 4th quarter and just made a single play it would of prevented the outcome. I remember seeing the live odds at one point it was something insane like +3000 , for us to lose that game it required an insane amount of bone headed mistakes. I never seen a collection of fumble, interception, whiffed tackles, blown coverage, dropped passes in such a small amount of time.

It feels like this team has no killer edge. When we have an opponent down ready for the kill shot or putting the dagger in them it feels like we completely take the foot off the pedal and just lay off. Foolish me thought we would just play normal and have time for Dru Brown to get some reps in the 4th.

Crum Khari Jones Bob Dyce Blue Bombers were out coached and had zero effort in the 2nd half. A collapse from everyone and every coach.

**** you Bombers, the moment I saw Willie take that dumb offside on 3rd down and seeing how checked out the Bombers were thinking they had it in the bag. So many players just completely took the foot off the pedal and played with such little effort in the 2nd half. Worst loss I've ever seen and that includes Burke and Reinbold eras. Somebody on the sidelines need to kick these guys asses when they are winning to wake them up. Nobody at all can ever say the 2023 Blue Bombers are the cream of the crop of this league. This loss will forever haunt them. BC and the Argos will have to be favored for the cup. Losing and making Crum look like Flutie is so embarrassing. Shameful.

I'm dying to hear what you think are the root causes.

So over / under 60 days before you sign up again on Twitter? I remember the last time people were outraged at Elon and signed up for Hive and Mastodon.... that lasted two weeks before everyone came back.

I clicked the link, didn't see anything indicating the celebration of Canada? I see mainly the celebration of Indigenous culture which is nice but not very inclusive for the vast majority of the population who are not a part of it? You'd think the city would want to be inclusive and celebrate the day that represents nearly every one since everyone is a Canadian citizen and should be proud of the Red and White. But whatever the city wants to save money under the guise of being woke, its just another example of bad decisions that are being made. I'm sure the local businesses downtown / forks are thrilled that the huge drop off in turn out on what used to be their biggest day for sales.

Its a day that we are to celebrate being in Canada. It's sad that the City can't do the same.

Also 1 year maternity leave in Canada compared to... basically 2 weeks in the States. I'm sure it's not cheap. Once the kids are 5 ish or so then it's far easier to WFH with kids around.

175 lbs or something?

Maybe in 5 years they can smarten up and celebrate CANADA DAY again. That sure would be nice!
