I’m not saying take Edmonton lightly but Christ, if the boys can’t come out motivated after a bye to wrap up the west how do you think we’re going to win a grey cup.. I have full confidence that this team is going to take care of business on Saturday.

No but saying we could get thumped by a 4-13 team at home while coming out of a bye with first place on the line is a ridiculously pessimist take.

Okay and the Saskatchewan Rough Riders could win the Grey Cup, but not a chance in hell it’s going to happen, the negativity around these parts is getting tiresome.

The 4-13 Elks are going to thump the first place team in the West coming off the bye, playing at home; with a chance to clinch the West? Wow we really are spoiled. The negativity lately on a team that’s likely going to win 13/14 games is crazy.

Win and we can rest next week. It’s that simple. No excuses not to come out after the bye and play with a sense of urgency. Hopefully nothing too serious with Schoen and we can give him three weeks to get better. That’s why we brought in a Kenny Lawler so he can step up in a situation like this. Still have a deep receiving core!

So Oliveria is now a few yards away from 1900 all purpose yards. Wow has he ever been good this season. He’s getting better every week, to me he should be the MOP he’s been absolutely rock solid, and seeing how he started last season to where he is now is just so impressive. The kid just craves greatness.

Can we do an HH for Prukop getting massive yards on second/third and short

Due for a big game from 8! Should be able to move the ball against this D! Let’s just be a little more aggressive on D this week then last week

Receivers bailed him out for sure. A lot of 50/50 balls and saying 50/50 is being generous.

The bombers actually played great all things considered. With a healthy Kevin Glenn the Bombers win that game comfortably.

Agreed. Them Being one point favourites at home is hardly bulletin board material. If playing for the season series and essentially wrapping up first place in the West isn’t motivation enough I think we have bigger issues.

Ok Mike you’re being coy because no one knows what a coach does on game day..

So what are you suggesting? Still first in west. Don’t get me wrong we’re a flawed team. But we got spoiled. We’re not going to walk through the league and win championships without push back. Do you remember life before O’Shea?

What doesn’t he do? Just curious from your point of view

That’s when you really miss a guy like Grant. Just so smooth and consistent

Who have we been slapped by? Besides the BC game where we returned the favour and then some?

Dude you need a break from the bombers. Teams are coming for us, we’re the litmus test. Even if we lose we’re first in the west.

No doubt.

I like how he says Hamilton has our number like we haven’t kicked their ass in back to back Grey cups. They beat us last year? Wow yeah sure has our number..

No excuses boys. Stay focused, kick some ass and enjoy the bye and get ready for Toronto!!

2023 pf: 32.69 pa: 20.23 2022 pf: 29.88 pa: 20.55 The stats say we are better this year, do you not remember last year we had several games early on that could have gone either way but we managed to pull through, perhaps even undeservingly? I for one do not think the sky is falling. I’ll take this years O any day over last season. We have a better version of Brady, and Lawler.

Maybe we’ll see a pissed of Haba who plays so well they have no choice but to keep him on the roster. I don’t want to see this guy on the PR ever again.

Walters has done a masterful job over the years with the cap, something he really doesn’t get enough credit for.

Until there’s an injury. Let’s face it. He’s the 6th best receiver on this roster, he’s a good player and could be a down field threat which could be useful but he isn’t going to play over the guys we have now.

He’s a gun slinger that’s what he does. He likes to push the ball down field, and moves around the pocket to create time. Most of the time it looks great, especially when his receivers are helping him make plays, sometimes he makes a bad play. Live by the sword, die by the sword, he’s not going to be a game managing QB and quite frankly I would never expect him to be.
