A big thank you to the mods for continuing to keep this site humming along. It’s our great escape and its importance can’t be underestimated. Win or lose we are lifetime Jet and Bomber hardcore fans. No second favorites. ps Riders suck

Well time to go 41-1-0.

Bédard not being chosen maybe due to his health makes sense but 55 who is a first line dominator in the best league in the world makes me think someone’s personal opinion is trumping logic.

No one is giving up that I see, maybe the fair weather fans, but I think it’s a reasonable expectation that our team has high expectations every year and using this year as an example, if things aren’t working, what’s happening to correct the situation?

I agree there’s not much more he can demonstrate that he belongs in this elite group. I’m wondering now is it have to do with certain people perspectives on his non physical attributes?

Yikes. Who takes the lions share of blame here? Players, coaches, GM? Or all share equal blame? Are they throwing in the white towel on the season? So many questions very few answers. Oh right to buffer our frustration, we are feel fortunate we have a NHL team, bring down any high expectations we have of this team while continuing to hand over our money on swag and such. I forgot. Happy New Year!

Thanks Debbie, you should be a motivational speaker.

Maybe all these contracts are good for the CFL that attract more talent needing to raise the salary cap that bring more bums to the seats that increase swag sales that attract more corporate support etc etc? I’m in a festive mood.

I didn’t read the article. Is Chevy fed up as well? If so what’s he going to do about it other than say it’s within them to correct this? How long does he wait to see if they correct this before making changes or does he remain status quo and trot out his previous accomplishments? How high is his expectations at this point of the current season?

Again for all the Jake hater accusers, we love what JT has brought to this club, players and coaches love him, but it's also selfish with struggles of self awareness on the part of JT and MOS to even remotely think that trotting out JT puts us in the best position for team success. Player over team, not good.

Sports wise, my biggest irritant with him was how he straight armed us fans. Sorry that’s not how a team representing a province works. It was just the oddest and most bizarre thing to do.

Man it’s sometimes suffocating being a lifetime loyal Jet fan. 2027 is our year!

What was NN thinking? Did he forget which side of the blue line he needed to be on? Pretty much sums up our season so far.

Yup it will be a half a dozen one percenters sitting in their boxes with a few of their other one percenter ‘friends’ sitting in their luxury boxes in an empty arena while us minions sit at home yelling at the tv that we can hardly afford. Thanks for coming to my motivational speech.

Just a random thought. If Chevy was relieved of his duties and a new GM was brought in and let’s assume he builds around our core of Helle, Shief, Connor and Morrissey, what changes in approach would we see from Chevy’s for the last several years? Maybe more aggressive on the trade market, Fa market cuz i don’t think he would stand pat obviously.

Well I see scrooge has arrived on the scene. Love you. Go Blue!

Wilson? Never heard of him.

I think i’m with you on this. Isn’t it sort of the you need to spend money to make money kind of thing? Attract talent (players and media personalities) with investment dollars to help attract multiple revenue sources to help build and grow the game’s legitimacy to a wider and diverse markets. Making rule changes to help attract more fans is just one very small slice of the pie.

A 2026 WBB Grey Cup championship was under my tree!

I’m hoping we search every corner of the world for talent and have high expectations in how we want to build our lines and how we want them to perform and not use them as hiding spots for average to less than average players. Protect ZC at all costs to let him work, provide BO openings that a guy like me could run thru.

Yea it's like they're 'coached' before going on camera, 'okay everyone remember bring that cringe level way up, be yelly, and most importantly don't be yourself and authentic, contrive every word and movement!' Action!

So behind closed doors, conversations were had to tank the season? I personally would find that professionally embrasssing obviously know the fruits they bare if successful at achieving the outcome of doing so.

I was informed a bit a go his contract has run up therefore no need to release just don't re-sign.
