Tony Jones has been solid all year.

Yea..the play was there. I don't mind it either. Just a real nice close by OTT safety. If you don't take that shot with that read then fold the tent and never toss the long ball again.

Easy on Randolph, that is something that happens on literally every play and is rarely called.

And are still that bad. Keeping teams to a scoring average under 24 points a game is a must to be successful in this league. Teams are piling points on us and we do not have the offence to run and gun. Last year we held teams to an average of 19 pts a game I believe. Year before was even better. Our offence took us to a 17 point first Q lead. That was erased shortly into the 3rd Q. That's not good defence. I understand that our offence didn't help, but you gotta have a D that can keep a team from coming back that quickly.

And at pivotal times of the game. It's very concerning.

I don't want to go to SSK twice a year. Can u blame me?

That's a fair assessment. At every level from management down to players, we are underperforming.. No team can win like that. Too many big plays surrendered to be suggesting our D is playing good

I respectfully decline, wbb it's all yours. Lol It was a very baffling offseason for sure.

GMs don't build the roster, they just bring in the players. So..in your estimation we have all the OL/DL/receiving talent here to be tops in the division but MOS is refusing to play them? Do you know how highly unlikely that is?

I mean those pieces aren't going to make them better, but yea, we need to be way more active.

Everyone clamoring for a different QB. Who?

Baloney...Walters definitely is very involved in NAT scouting and your argument that O'Shea has too much say in player retention is more telling about the quality of Walters job than O'Shea's. Talent level of any roster is 100% on the GM. That is not even debateable. GMs build the roster, and coaches coach the roster that is assembled. If Walters is listening to O'Shea too much then that is on him. It's his job to assemble the talent not Osh's. Bottom line. Been my argument here for the past 2 years, but round and around we go. Everyone was willing to overlook the fact we are hemorraghing talent because MOS apparently likes Jake Thomas. Still way too many people here blaming roster usage for our record. It's not optimal to be sure but if we are going to have a 2 year conversation and calls for dismissal of anyone, it should be the GM and even that I don't agree with.

Amazing what losing does to a fan bases common sense. "We are losing this is awful but I would significantly downgrade our starting QB to save money that we can't really spend right now because there is nothing worth it." Geez Louise. People here expecting high level QBing on the cheap and it just doesn't happen all that often. If we had a Dru Brown knocking on the door behind Collaros again, then it might be a valid idea but we don't and it becomes an over reach.

Like I said. you guys are not wrong to be pining for Mayala....BUT has it really come to that? Like so many positions on our team, Walters had really done a poor job restocking the shelves. That damn O'Shea telling him not to acquire talent all the time.

Psst...they be the SSK Roughriders....end of story. I am sure that this will get the eye roll emoji that you are so famous for. Have at it.
