@DTonOB 1h

 

1st team D is as expected with Jeffcoat not practicing. Cedric Wilcots as the DE opposite Jefferson. Back 6 remains the same as the Hamilton game

yuck about the back 6 tho...not a strong point at the moment...tho BA with another week of practice and game under is belt is a good thing...that Wil spot tho and the 2 rookies leaves a lot to be desired....blahh

pretty much yup

Paul likely moving back to the Peg shortly....UNLESS something big comes along with another club....Right now...don't see it

yup...I think he will be back on the Panel or doing a segment before a coaching gig comes along

He dont need to practice...let him rest

yeah...I think the gig is up...literally and figuratively...got what he wanted yr one...they sucked.....they went out and to most observers scored big in FA in yr 2...and u could say they suck even more..Masoli going out didnt help...but other than the first 2 games of season when we played awful they seemed to regress....interesting that really our offence hasn't missed a beat since he left, and if anything is more explosive and versatile....I think his success here was more of a product of the environment he was in, as opposed to him being the catalyst

yeah  not too sure who they gonna scare...especially when own HC said in media the= aren't very good....puzzling

I wouldn't think so. I feel it is likely that Hardrick hangs them up before Bryant.

with 4 yrs age difference there I highly doubt it....Hardrick is having too much fun, and is still too damn good to be hanging them up anytime soon

Right now teams that control their destiny (don’t need other teams to lose to advance their position) are everyone but Edmonton. But Ottawa and Hamilton also need help to guarantee a playoff spot:

Winnipeg (4 games left) - win 1 game to clinch 2nd, win 3 to clinch 1st

BC (6 games left) - win 5 to clinch 2nd, win 6 to clinch 1st 

Calgary (5 games left) - win 2 to clinch 3rd (or 1 if that win is against Saskatchewan), need help to get 2nd or 1st

Saskatchewan (4 games left) - win 3 to clinch a crossover, need help to get 3rd or 2nd 

Edmonton (4 games left) - Need help, period. Win 4 and need minimum 4 other specific outcomes in other games to make playoffs, or win 3 and need minimum 8 other specific outcomes in other games to make playoffs

Toronto (5 games left) - win 4 to clinch 1st (or 2 if 1 win is against Montreal)

Montreal (5 games left) - win 5 to clinch 1st, win 3 to clinch 2nd (or 2 if 1 win is against Ottawa), win 2 to clinch 3rd. 

Hamilton (4 games left) - win 3 to clinch 3rd (or 2 if both wins are against Ottawa), need help to make playoffs

Ottawa (5 games left) - win 5 to finish 3rd, need help to make playoffs

BC only has 5 games left

They don’t need us to lose any games other than the ones where they play us, so they control their destiny in that they can win out and pass us. They don’t need another team to beat us for them. 

We are only 2 losses ahead, and that is the number to focus on. Since there are two games left against them and we haven’t clinch the season series yet, they win out, tie us at 14-4, and win the tiebreaker. 

if they win out...they have 14 wins....we go 500...we have 14 wins...take care of business against BC in one of the games....and beat either Elks or Riders as well....first is ours...we control our fate...and theirs really...we beat em...they in 2nd

I would say we control BC's destiny more than they do, and more than they do ours

interesting to see if we have some guys participating today...who weren't before last game...i say yes

This is true only if we beat BC in one of our games. We could go .500 and still finish 2nd if BC runs the table. We control our destiny but so does BC. 

YEAH....True...I forgot they had a game in hand

I would love to see that happen, but I'm in the opposite camp. The East is just too weak , and Hamilton needs to play lights out till the end of the season... I don't see that happening.   SASK might have an easier time in the East then in the West. 

 

Hamilton's remaining schedule should get them 3 wins....Sask lucky to get 1...likely none...and with 6 wins....it wont be enough..they need to have more wins than Hamilton...and dont see it happening when dust settles

The way it looks, and could go I dont see SSK getting the crossover...Sask has a game here in Wpg...they are in Hamilton and then have back to back against CGY who will be fighting for a home playoff date with B.C...so they will be going guns a blazing.

Ham has the SSK game coming off a bye...they in CGY and then home and home against Ottawa...so that game against Riders will be huge, especially if we do Ham a fovour and take out our anger on that last loss against the Riders this week...which pretty sure happens

Sask I can actually see losing out the rest of the season and end at 6 and 12, so Hamilton needs 2 wins out of those 4 games, and with Ott twice and that Sask I like their chances...be interesting to see these last 4 weeks play out.

we need to go .500 in our final 4 to guarantee 1st...and not have to schedule watch...I like our chances

LaPo has created such a mess in Ottawa that it'll take years to fix it. Much like  LaPo did here as HC & Tim Burke tried to fix but couldn't. Why would Khari even want to go to Ottawa? He's in a better situation in Hamilton & if any organization can turn it around quickly the Cats can. 

If he wants a shot at HC again...then that would be a spot....he won't be getting that any time soon in the Hammer most likely...and a chance to turn a program around could be a nice feather in his cap??...maybe...

Lapo is done this yr.....prob keep him on till then and then they cut ties...I doubt he lands a HC gig...and if anything I see him in Sask...haha

Pierce ain't going nowhere...I see 2 teams...Sask and Ott needed a new HC..that is it...and possibly MTL..I know the gnome says he not in it for the long haul...but I dont believe it..

I can see Khari in Ott next yr...I can see Riders try hard for Killam out of CGY or they may have same situation as with when they had no choice Dicklesson and go within...so promote their DC sa as not to lose him..unless he has no control of the idiots there either.

Mass likely ends up in MTL in the ol recycle game of coaches unless they go way off the board...could see it

 

yeah...looks to be a complete gong show now...especially with the inhouse commenting in Twitter...yikes

If I'm 25, I'm going for it now tho cuz reality Is if I don't make it now they won't give me another chance. This is my shot to live my dream. I'd be happy to come back to the CFL but I wouldn't come until I've exhausted all My nfl options first. 

yeah...but right now he not being paid...and could go weeks...months with no call...I'd approach the team and say...i will sign and play, on provision that if I get a call, I will be released.....

We are 3 games ahead of BC.

We would have to go 0-4 and they would have to go 4-2 to get ahead of us.

I understand there are still a few combinations involving ties and the season series. But we have 4 games left and an extra win basically seals it.

YUP...barring an 0-fer to close out the season, I am pretty much saying we get the West Final...I don't see an epic collapse here...no way...no how....and can bet my left nut come gametime against the Riders here at home....it will be an ornery bunch looking to make a statement....poor Riders hahahaha

led to believe coul just be his opinion...so who knows...but if nothing materializes soon, maybe he comes up, cause as it is sitting and waiting...he ain't getting paid...and it's not like he made a shitpile while up here, and wasn't paid for his TC time either...just his 2 weeks on Saints PR

YEAH....Agreed and figured Jones would be all over that...my guess is we didnt even make an offer, unless we did and Jones just threw stupid money at him...with no regard for anything...which I suspect

I think Stove is likely out all yr...almost certain he was an achilles too

But he is NOT the immovable object nose tackle we really need.

No...but we sorely missing a rotational end ..heck any dlineman to offset loss of Hansen and Kongbo...that rotation of ends is really hampering us..especially when we had lots of sets with de's in the middle...and we were very good against run...we need a few pieces and an experienced one in CFL game..and in CFL game shape would be huge

I’d be on the phone. We need depth there and he was good for them this year.

agree....and I sure he would love to join us for those back to backs...and chance to be 1 game away from Grey Cup...Dude is good and certainly his intimate knowledge of BC's schemes and lingo wouldn't hurt...if anything would make them have to change things up against us, which would likely cause some miscues

According to 3DN, he was recently taken off the active roster due to a ratio change with Canadian rookie Nathan Cherry taking over the starting job.  Also Woody Baron coming off the 6 game for the first time this season.

Yeah seen that...basically a ratio thing...He would be a nice rotation with the Jeff's....and has middle of Line experience too, so be a nice piece when we run all DE types for Cheetah

wonder why they releasd him/...he was one of their better, if not best dlineman for most of the season

actually think he may be a more than serviceable QB..as the tools...needs the reps, and some stability around him...betting on him, and doing the in house developing could pay off

I would love for BC to play a nice, domed home game in Vancouver.... throw the ball up 40 times... everyone is nice and warm, having a great time... then have to come to Winnipeg and play in -20...  😏

and thats probably just what's gonna happen
