  1. Who's Going to The Grey Cup?

    Jamie was my neighbour here in West K - lived next door - so I asked him about the 2011 Grey Cup - he claimed that it was Kyle Walters' fault that special teams sucked so hard in the Grey Cup.  He also said that when he played for Mike O'Shea in Toronto that he would have run through a wall for him, as would everyone who played for him in Toronto, so take that for what it is.

    Kyle Walters = **** coach, awesome GM... I think that's been established by now

    Holm..had an average yr at best...but he was the perfect example of shut down DB tonight...and acted like a pro after a play every time...unlike the arsebags in green

     

    One player ran off the field flipping the double bird to the fans… obviously I have no idea what was said to him… but it was reminder of the class of org the riders are

    I wonder how badly we just hurt the riders chances of getting any season ending awards too. 

    Should be voted before the playoffs started, no?

    I love Willie but I'm not sure how he got selected as a league all-star this year other than name recognition.

    Was there really no good defensive ends in the league this year??

    Marcus Sayles should not be all CFL. Heck having 2 out of the 5 secondary pieces from a team that was one of the worst against the pass is a joke.

    When you spend all season hyping up a guy (Milligan)... you kind of have to put him on the all-star team... at least that's how the CFL media thinks...

    Sayles, Micah, and Willie clearly prove name recognition is more important that actual playing ability... I would take Nichols over every one of the CFL "all-stars" in the secondary

    Great storylines for both games.

    Winnipeg tries to extend its dominance of the West division and earn a third Cup for this cycle of players a year prior to the game being on their own field.

    Saskatchewan's rookie head coach tries to get to the big dance in his first year and take the one scalp that will instantly make him a Rider legend.

    Montreal has been the best team over the last 12 months and looks for a rare back to back Cup win.

    Toronto has revenge and redemption on offer and has a chance to use that chip on their shoulder to get back to the big game and reassert their Eastern dominance.

    (also, weird subplot for Argo fans: 3 of Ricky's disciples and his heir all square off!)

    I'm a bundle of nerves, but these are the times a football fan lives for.

    were Collaros, Harris, and Fajardo ever on the Argos at the same time?... I'm leaning towards Fajardo showed up after Zach left...

    What’s the difference between what I shared a what a journalist writes? Because I’m not attached to a newspaper I’m an imposter? You don’t recognize articles from legitimate news sites like Bonfire? What exactly is your criteria for “real” journalism? Perhaps you’d prefer me to just cut and paste future articles as a forum post? 
     

    Also, what am I advertising? I’m sharing an article that I think is discussion-worthy on a forum. 

    This is kind of what I was wondering… if you just copied and pasted the text into your first post… would that satisfy some people here?

    It's already a dynasty. If anyone was to go back to 2018, with the drought still in tact and someone says to them - you're going to make it to the next 5 grey cups, but you can't know how the games turn out, would you take it? Every single fan at the time would say yes without hesitation.

    I agree with you… we were desperate to end that drought in the late teens… but man one (or ideally two) more would make it so much sweeter…

    Most Outstanding Player

    RB Brady Oliveira, Winnipeg Blue Bombers
    QB Bo Levi Mitchell, Hamilton Tiger-Cats

    Most Outstanding Canadian

    RB Brady Oliveira, Winnipeg Blue Bombers
    DL Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund, Montreal Alouettes

    Most Outstanding Defensive Player

    DB Rolan Milligan Jr., Saskatchewan Roughriders
    LB Tyrice Beverette, Montreal Alouettes

    Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman

    OL Logan Ferland, Saskatchewan Roughriders
    OL Ryan Hunter, Toronto Argonauts

    Most Outstanding Special Teams Player

    K Sean Whyte, B.C. Lions
    KR Janarion Grant, Toronto Argonauts

    Most Outstanding Rookie

    LB Nick Anderson, Edmonton Elks
    REC Shemar Bridges, Hamilton Tiger-Cats

    Coach of the Year

    Corey Mace, Saskatchewan Roughriders
    Jason Maas, Montreal Alouettes

     

    Corey Mace for Coach of the Year is a joke

    Mace did finish second in his first year as HC... so it's not completely crazy. 

    I think the winners should be fairly obvious this year: MOP: Brady (but they will try hard to give it to Bo)... MOC: Brady is a lock... MODP: Beverette (even though the league/media desperately wants it to be Milligan)... MOOL: Hunter... MOST (most what?): Janarion... Rookie: Bridges (surprised this LB got the nob over Wilson, oh well)... Coach: Mace (because they have to give Sask something)...

    They have to make a splash for a new QB,   I can't see BC wanting to send VAJ to a divisional rival so I'm not sure who they can get?  

    BC can't be picky... they can't afford to have VA and Rourke on the roster next year... if they can find a taker for him and his full contract, they have to take it...

    Going back to the end of the game and the wind storm, I found everything just played out perfectly, with Forde bringing up this crazy wind that was all-of-sudden pushing into the stadium, with the leaves following for the visual effect, a slight build-up in anticipation before the punt, and then the pooch. The drama could not have been better scripted. 

    both TSN and CJOB really nailed the call on that last play... I was listening at the time since I wasn't near a TV.

    4th straight sell out. Since 2022, Winnipeg has 17 sellouts more than the other 8 teams combined. Riders have three. Credit to Ed Tait for this info.

    In short, we are the best fans in the CFL.

    technically not sell outs... just crowds of 30,000+... which is impossible to Montreal, Hamilton (I think) and Toronto to even achieve.... gif still applies

    Wouldn't be surprised to see Notree playing lots depending on Griffin's ability to play.

    Cole...we're still waiting.  He's lost the job to every other American LB they've brought in and/or kept coming out of camp since he's been here.  Couple picks over 3 years, down after down not really making plays.

    not really... Cole started out as a teamer last year and worked his was into the defensive rotation... he was expected to contribute more this year but he's been injured most of this year

    I don't mind the changes... I like that Kelly has usurped the Hallets as the next man up at S... though if we're using another Canadian in the secondary, it would be nice to put another American on the DL... problem is if we hypothetically dressed Fox and scratched one of Thomas or Schmek... what Canadian comes on the roster? We basically have no options at this time ... the team really needs to upgrade Canadian depth this offseason

    then you compare it to the clutch goal-line play that Nichols made in the 2021 Grey Cup...

    still get chills thinking about that play!

    He also made the play on the ball in OT that was then tipped for the INT.

    did he?... I could've sworn it was Rose scooping it to Wilson for the INT... unless there's anther part of the play I'm not remembering

    He's definitely the best.  Holm hasn't looked the same.  Bonds is good, but I wouldn't say better.  Everyone is hating on Alexander and I can't even name your boundary defensive halfback.

    I know your schtick is to defend every Canadian player to the death... but I think you completely missed my point... I agree Ford is great but my point is it just shows the quality of our defensive backs when the leading INT guy is not even the best db on the team...

    Not sure if I understand your second point... you can't name the boundary halfback? is this a joke?... you don't know Deatrick Nichols?... one of the best DBs in the league the past 4 years? Is that the guy you can't name?
