Keep thinking that. The playoffs are a funny beast. I know you haven't seen enough games with your team as the favorite, but cold weather and players of suspect character do not mesh well.....and yeah...I said it...I think you guys have a locker room with a lot of me-first guys.

We traded Wilcots but picked up a DL from Saskatchewan. My evidence is the historical depth charts. I went back through all of them for the past 4 seasons. In 2019 and 2021 we dressed 8 DL through the playoffs and final few games, in 2022 we dressed primarily 7 through the final few weeks.

Not an apt comparison as they are not division rivals. EDIT: Glad you find that funny Bluto....but that is absolutely how sports works.

Not to mention 3 byes in the first 10 games. We will find out who the Argos really are when they play us....and they knew that....and are not going to let us shellack their starters without a built in excuse. What surprises me the most is that the entirety of the Argo fan base came here to post.

History tells us that MOS will make changes and roster tweaks. Depth charts from the past 4 years suggest that he changes up his roster composition down the stretch. Likes to get bigger bodies onto the roster.

That is MOS's MO over the past several seasons. He goes lean on the DL until the final third of the season and then ramps up the numbers down the stretch.

Yep, and being in the East they get the full slate against Hamilton, Ottawa, and Montreal every year. Just a joke of a schedule really in comparison to any of the Western teams.

The Argos biggest problem is that they are in Toronto. Just a wannabe NFL town.

Argos have had the softest schedule in the CFL this year....BY FAR...resting guys...lmao. Sorry, but until you have played the Bombers you have not faced the CFL's measuring stick. 12-1...beating up on the Ottawa's and Hamilton's of the CFL. If the Argos were in the West they are behind the Bombers and Lions in the standings.

When an existing player gets an extra 550k in salary the next year it will have impact on the rest of the roster. It just stands to reason.

All good. I know how these merged threads work and that you were not responding to me but to PB.

The problem I have with our D is gassed is argument is that in the last 2 losses it's the 1Q when the majority of the scoring against our D occurred. We only gave up 7 points to Hammy in the 2nd half.....none in the 4Q. Does a gassed D suddenly get better as the game goes on? I get that at times the D has looked gassed this season, but I am not sure it is a main factor in any loss except for the Ottawa game. Also, the D being gassed tends to coincide with stretches of games that our O is simply not moving the ball. I agree that we need a beefier DL rotation, especially down the stretch, and that it can be problematic. It is not the reason we lost to Hamilton or the LDC though. It was just one of a few problems that the Bombers need to iron out. The main one being coming out and actually showing up ready to match our opponents intensity EVERY game.

This time of the year, seasons are on the line. Jobs are on the line. Can't show up like it's late June.

Well I do agree something has to change. Uneven play is a recipe for losing games we shouldn't lose.

Osh needs to kick some arse. Zac played like crap too. Can't sit him but...

We've seen what this team is capable of when prepared and motivated. The coach needs to make sure thats the team we get every week. Simple as that.

At one time our team ran thru walls for him. Now they do it occasionally.

Agreed. We are giving them 10 yards a pass. Makes no sense.

Our effort, focus, and preparation have certainly regressed and shove that Kool aid slurper comment up your pie hole. Uncalled for.

And the holding..oy vey

We need turnovers

Yep..we were the only team that told him to shed 40 lbs before training camp. He did it and the rest is history. The Riders, in particular, must be stinging from that. A couple years ago some knucklehead Rider fan was beaking off about Winnipeg being too stupid to keep Labatte and the Riders being so smart for getting him. My response was "Yoshi and Neufeld". He didn't understand my rebuttal...clueless.

Yea...Bryant helped but he was just one piece of the puzzle.

Attendance picks up in the fall here, and unless it is really freaking bad weather the stands will be near capacity. Sell out? Yea doubtful for Edmonton. 30k probable tho.

Ok...sorry...didn't notice the lol. My bad. Yea...only takes a single play or 4. Just ask Aaron Rodgers. I think they mentioned during the game that Jeffcoat was nursing a sore hip as well. Absolutely Haba did a great job when he has been in this season. I will be watching his run gaps closely this week. Not because I think he is doing anything wrong there or anything, just to see if maybe that is a reason we have been sitting him?
