Yes from me on your last question.

I hope you're right but I remain skeptical as in I was not a big fan watching WJ mostly stand in place, drop back, freelance watching the game pass him by while getting the odd knock down and/or tackle. Saying he was double covered and/or our interiour sucks doesn't explain all of his lack of exceptional play away. Maybe I'm being too harsh but I love agggressive role sound DE's who contain and get at and disrupt/sack the QB agressively and violently. Love the energy he brings to the game and how he sells it but that has to translate onfield as well. I just tink we need a major overhual in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Easier said than done I know. Oh for sure, I just think it would be funny and add a level of levity to the seriousness of the game.

I just think we need waaaay more from our Dline including our Defensive ends. Way more if we want to change the narrative to how we want to be known as a D coming into 2026.

Lifted from the Winnipeg Sun: “I don’t think I’ve ever been in a situation where there’s so many guys having slumps at the same time,” Niederreiter said. “I went and backtracked and I’m always slumping around the same time, which is this time, so it’s nothing new to me. The only new part is that we lose a lot of hockey games, which makes it even harder.” I find this such an odd thing to say, like yup it's that time of the year I go into a slump nothing out of order here, no biggie, nothing new. lol

This helps me imagine Bob Irving with a right hook that clocks Luke Wilson. 🙂

From a defensive line point of view we need to change what we expect from and how we use our dline. This change in DL scheme and expectations does not involve retaining WJ imo.

This or straight fire? I know what I'd chose. 🙂

Imagine this crew as the CFL panel. You could rotate the two drunks every week to ensure you're getting fan representation from all CFL teams. The panel would be moderated by Bob Irving and Luke Wilson to help fuel the fireworks. TSN has no idea what it's doing.

I'm with you on this from a fan perspective. I'm also not sure how I should feel on what Chevy said here: 'He noted the Jets have given up some draft picks in the past few years and are “paying a little bit of a price for that right now.” I do though agree with what Chevy said here: “But if you're a true fan of any team, the ups and the downs and the celebrations and the heartbreaks are all part of fandom.”

I know but why? Different direction, what does that even mean?

Speaking of that I heard McKenna currently makes approx $700,000 dollars playing for Penn State.

When SC hits wide left, the last photo here should go up on the jumbotron. Lol.

Yup not even close. Imagine him with an dominating Oline? When he's in the zone, everyone else around him becomes better.

Gross if that's true.

I’m assuming it’s been posted here but does anyone know the factual story of why he isn’t with TSN anymore? Budget cuts, other?

Plus BO saves puppies. Puppies. Okay i’ll let the adults get back to talking even though we all should know BO is, to date, THE best all around best RB in the league hands down.

Yes but we don’t use that word, it’s reserved for the Riders and others as appropriate. For us we use terms like ‘needs improvement’ and such.

We have an elite core so I’m hoping it’s an ongoing re-tool to get us back to the top 1/3 of the league and not a complete rebuild where you never know how long it will be when it pays off e.g the Sharks

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!
