I'm with you on this one. They should have went all in with TW. I felt real bad for him but ZC had absolutely no business going back into that game and some people saying MOS had no option but to stick with an injured ZC is completely false.

Here's a perfect example of an athlete that brings productivity to the ice as well as brings strong interpersonal skills to help with team cohesion and leadership.. And he's not the best player on the team but he's probably one of the best on the team that brings the full package. The expectation (not always met) for all players is have the full package to some degree not just one or the other.

I like the BLM reference. So what we are ordering here is a better support cast to surround our qb and once delivered, okay ZC, time to resurge.

Our BB coaches/management are smart people, I think it's more stubbornness, confirmation bias, blind spots and loyalty all working together here. We are all guilty of doing these things in our lives (some more than others) btw but still doesn't give them an out here.

Ahhhhhh heading into the game we were tied in points.

What frustrates me (doesn’t take much) around these parts with some is the argument implying and/or saying we didn’t have the options like TO had here. Our options were actually not options so stop complaining there was nothing MOS could have done other than going with ZC. ?????

For some reason I forgot he was dressed as well. Two 100% healthy QB's available but, again, if the mentality was that both weren't even close to being serviceable as options that's a much different conversation to have.

Difference here was TW was not wrecked, he was a 100% healthy QB. So if the mentality is you have a 100% healthy QB at your disposal that you absolutely will not utilize even if your starting QB is playing at 50% there is something amiss here and deserves scrutiny not just at the coaching level but at the management/scouting levels. And it doesn't mean we hate MOS.

Man i think you’re off on this. Zac was hurt on a key part of his body, his throwing hand. He had no business going back into the game. This is the exact reason you employ/dress more than one QB. We had a healthy qb on the sidelines and for those that say he would have stunk not CFL material, one no one here has a crystal ball so we will never know and two if it was indeed a fact TW had no business being on the field for the big game then that’s a whole other discussion to have on why even dress the guy, it’s embarrassing if that was the mentality of the coaching staff/management about TW, what a waste of spot.

With a few players (I think we know who they are) if they are invited back to training camp with no promise of making the team that still wouldn’t sit well with me. Strong messages have to be sent in what expectations are being set for 2026.

Dline bottom third? uh dead last no?

Time to go on a heater. No excuses. Stanley Cup or bust!

Year 1 we win the Grey Cup Year 2 we win the Grey Cup Year 3 we win the Grey Cup 🙂

WHY ARE WE ALL YELLING???!!!!!!!!

I’m sorry was there a game on Sunday?

Yup no other alternative, 2026 here we come! Lessss go. (Narrator voice: JT, Korn have just been re-signed, MOS announces backward hat guy back as OC for 2026 to apply his first year learnings). 2027 here we come!

yup it is not an either or it’s both.

Get that boy a pair of football cleats!

Here's hoping we return the favor to them in 2027 and I'll take winning in all in 2026 as a warm-up.

Damn now I have to put 12-5 in response to Rider fans.

However most people deserve respect and compassion in how they receive feedback on their performance. Who?

Exactly it usually results in, Who was that guy? then two seconds later moving on from the discussion.

Of course I do. Everytime I complete a simple task at work I break them out like there’s no tomorrow.

No matter the sport with a few exceptions isn’t it shown that coaches/gms have shelf lives that sometimes has nothing to do with their personalities and who they are as people? Just a fact of life that some relationships just run their course.
