I'd take Troy Smith over Brohm. Smith has passed for a TD and doesn't get his team's butt kicked. 70-19 this year with Brohm in. It was 69-10 in his two starts in Buffalo. See the pattern.

On pace for 59 sacks now. That's down from 71. But 3 new pieces on the OL nets you 2/3 of a sack less a game? If our protections are the same as other teams, why are we so bad? Is the talent that bad? The coaching?

Being hopeful, any chance we can establish a strong run game with Marshall and Scott? Running the ball seems the one area Marcel has had success in.

Rich, great post, any way to give more than one like?

My hope is that Marve can pull off a few Bishop type games, not the most amazing stats but a big run or two and a couple of long bomb connections and we pull it out. Plus he's more exciting to watch. Brohm, no excitement and really offers you jack.

Marcel's scheme have been **** for years. Last year, we gave up too much pressure and too many sacks. Same this year. Same in 2007 when he was the OC in Montreal. Same issue in 2008 in Hamilton. Yeah, you need time to gel but to use this as an excuse is BS.

Who the **** wants to pay $ to watch Brohm play like ****? We've been outscored 70-19 with him in the game, which is similar to his two starts in Buffalo where they got outscored 69-10.

This just sucks. All I wanted was a playoff spot and the hope we might get hot and make the Grey Cup. Seems like we are screwed now again.

Brohm starting gives me no hope and makes me want to stay home.

What specifically are the injuries?

Brutal.

9-9 should get you in. The crossover team would have to have a better record and Montreal is all ready 2 games back and has lost the season series to Ottawa. I think the goal is finish ahead of B.C., Saskatchewan and the Als. Need to beat the Als again, B.C. again and get at least one versus the Riders.

We seem a year away from having 7 or 8 starting Canadians (Mulumba or Bilikudi signing and the development of Waggoner)

I'll say Scott at RB since he's been here longer.

One of my many issues with Marcel is the inability to deal with pressure and basically how shitty the OL looks in his system. Montreal in 07 that OL was brutal, 08 not so much. Us, yeah last year the OL looked awful. This year, Bryant, Chungh, Picard are new starters. Same result. When it keeps occuring again and again, you have to question the system and the coaching. Fire Marcel today.

Sherman is not a starting linebacker. Maybe you go 3 on the OL, 2 Receivers, Westerman and Hurl and take Bucknor out? What is the biggest hole though?

How in the world does one propose this and a) suggest 4 NI on the OL and No Westerman on D?

JBR, do you think we'd be better off with Gossen at C?

We are honestly what a 9-9, third place team if Willy is healthy? We have a defence with some nice pieces, pretty good back 5, solid lbers in Bass and Randle, good DE in Westerman that seems like they are developing and improving. We have an OL that seems poor. Seems like Bryant is good, Chungh is a nice piece, Daniels is ok and the other two spots, yeah not so much. Poor ST coaching, poor OC.

Marcel has seen Hamilton three times this season, how can you have no answer to their pressure?

Hope its not long term.

How about NDP candidate Linda McQuaig stating on CBC on Friday that oil in Alberta may have to stay in the ground? Sure, kill that industry but it'll be ok because the magic unicorns will fart out good jobs for all.

This is my worry. I want us to win the LDC and Banjo Bowl and for them to be 0-11.

I don't hate the Ti-cats as much as the Riders. I do get tired of TSN fawning over eastern teams like Ottawa and Hamilton and their selling out of a 24,000 seat park. Heck we get that and its a bad crowd. Would rather see Gordon in. Take off Fraser instead.

Who did we piss off?
