Brandon

What kind of odds do you guys put Brown starting over a healthy Zach? I'm saying 33% purely because O'Shea wants to avoid the controversy and add in a dash of him being loyal to guys no matter what the situation is.

Connor pulled the rug on the UFC big time, he wasn't healthy going into that fight. Disaster for the UFC. The co main event was also sus... they totally piped in the crowd noise for Paddy and the announcers were going way above the norm for "pumping" up a fighter. I think the UFC set that up to help fabricate a star.

and then released 2 months later on good behaviour...

Is it crazy to dream that this is the game that Dru shines and then wins the starting job and becomes the guy for us for the next many years?

I don't see them making changes unless injuries occur. This club does not rotate fresh blood on the game rosters ever.

We need to correct the o-line woes (Bryant sits?) and get one more quality receiver. I think with just a small amount of changes it would make a large difference. Also we need to run more often... as in all game long.

Back in my youth the YMCA always had a bunch of naked old men hanging around the change rooms. I would complain to my gf at the time about how they'd sit bare balls on the bench and was then informed that the old ladies were worse. She used to see the old ladies riding the exercise bikes in the change room... with nothing on!

Doege didn't look completely lost when he was given a chance a few years back. I'd have Dolegala lob bombs to Lawler... he has the arm and better odds of success then Ford running around madly over thinking and throwing a pick 6.

If it is TE then I will be completely befuddled on what is going on with this club.

I am not 100% certain that they would not do this. If they did then... yikes.

I have no issues trading Zach for McManis straight up :D

Imagine if they start TE over Dru ....

Injury prone QB with a huge contract... right now I can't imagine. Later in the year with a desperate team losing their starting QB in the play off mix... he will have value.

They scored 1 TD... not going to win many games with that kind of production.

So are you saying if BLM had not been hurt that we win this game? Moving forward would you want TE as our starter over Dru Brown? That our gameplan without Zach should be 5 yard passes? Yes we can go on a tear if our D keeps up the good work and each opposing team loses their starting QB and have nobody of note to replace them in game. 125 yards passing is more then enough to win in the CFL.

If only this team had a veteran QB who has played many games on the roster... oh wait. I put this on the coaches for having zero Plan B on an aging injury proned QB. If they have no faith in a rookie then why is he slotted as #2 and not #3?

So every team is tossing 300 - 450 yards per game this season... we managed 120 yards. Yikes.

What have I missed so far? I'm assuming it is not worth catching up on the PVR?

It just feels post COVID that the club is not cycling in fresh blood with potential anymore. It's like a few new guys, a hand ful of known mediocre guys that we pray will one day break out, and a lot of status quo.

Translation : I will be satisfied if we are not blown out and have no faith in us winning. :D

I assume Kate is "attempting" at having a quirky personality to keep eyes on her as she is aging out and can be easily replaced by a woman who is twice as pretty and half the age.

Is the cap going up sharply in the next few years?

It is unfortunate, toy prices have just gone insane post COVID. $50 for an extremely cheap plastic toy that is barely better then dollarma quality. They rarely had any good deals and we ended up buying from Amazon / Wal Mart since they had deals and toys for half the price. That location tried throwing poop on the wall with so many random half baked ideas. A few years back, I remember for like 2 weeks they tried to become bed, bath, and beyond and had half the store with linens, humidifiers, fruit mixers etc.... They tried to insert a mini HMV with a large amount of over priced vinyls. They massively expanded the book selection while removing the affordable science gifts that were perfect for b-day parties. Made a play land.... 10 years too late as the city already has a tonne of play lands.
