It’s rarely to never minus 40 here anymore.

And only a few since the bombers made Hamilton city and tsn cry like babies. That bomber GC win in Hamilton vs Hamilton was just magical. pretty brutal tho. 16 points. Was hogan calling the game

Cold playoff games were wonderful. It’s pretty cold in Regina right now tho. And appears to be more snow there.

Oh I agree. I’d give Osh the extension based on willingness to change and move on from some players and maybe coaches.

Plus lions vs tigers. That’s fun. I’m not a ticat fan, I hate them honestly but it be ok to see them break their streak in our stadium. Plus the Ted Goveia story and connection to Winnipeg is I think a nice thing. Sometimes the world needs nice stories. That’s probably the best one they could hope for.

I mean I’m fine with that. He’s the head coach. I just think 9 straight playoff appearances 5 straight cups and the first time it’s like no cup final it’s time to move on is a bit premature. I think O’Shea actually deserves to be here. Kyle or the GM tho needs to put their foot down a bit and not sign guys past their prime. It’s that simple. If Osh doesn’t want to move on from Jake kola Willie Neufeld Stan etc then you either move on from O’Shea or you don’t sign the players to contracts or you release them because it’s football. The goal should be winning. And that means making the “tough” easy decisions. If it’s not to O’Shea anymore then ok time to move on. But I’d give him an extension and tell him it’s time for change. Cuz they ain’t getting any younger. That leash would be short tho. Much shorter than it has been. in the cfl you need an OL a DL and a QB. Zach stays but takes a 100k pay cut. Streveler is done. Wilson has shown less than guys who been around 3 months. Artopoeous can be brought back to compete. probably can’t fully fix the OL and DL in 1 season but, maybe. Vanterpool, Wallace, American, Canadian, Randolph. DL could be rebuilt using Americans instead of the Jake’s and less than Jake’s on our DL. Maybe Neufeld can move to center or Vibert or trade for one really. But that’s gotta be a priority.

Not saying Dinwiddie isn’t a great coach but gm also is interesting. Good luck to RD tho. Wonder if we see sone interesting changes in ottawa. Not if actually but how many. I think lapolice is the obvious choice maybe with Khari as OC and maybe grab a Montreal assistant as DC. If Osh leaves.

You’re like an obsessive ex bro. Its unhealthy.

So the bombers could save lots of money by letting every other coach besides O’Shea go then. Cuz wtf is the point of the other coaches. Youngers D would be lethal with the right guys. lol. Hogans O would be with 5 milt stegalls also. I mean the right guys. If only O’Shea scouted and kept all these pre season all stars working at foot locker.

Argos gonna get Osh or and Steinauer I bet.

Argos missed the playoffs dude.

Lowry extension coming soon.

I’ll bet Osh is back and we see some significant change. The reality is if Jake and crew are back it’s cuz the gm signed them. If the gm doesn’t sign some of the vets, they won’t be back. Some will be back tho and I think that’s the important question cuz you can’t just get rid of every vet and expect to win. So who do you actually keep. Brady? Demski. Pokey. Sterns. I mean the OL outside of Wallace vanterpool and Randolph are all older vets. Who stays. It’s easy to say who doesnt but what vets stay. Some will. Maybe I mentioned them there on O plus Zach. on D, Tony will be back, he deserves to compete for a spot at the least. Holm? Nichols? Kyrie? Willie? I dunno. Who on o who is FA wants to stay with hogan? That needs to be addressed first. Players fired him. Zach certainly did.

Osh interview gave me the impression that he thinks they got some work to do. The impression I got is he plans on being back. Now I’m not convinced hogan is back, reading between lines I’d suggest he isn’t back, but certainly sounds like Osh will be back.

Woodbey. Vaval. Am I missing anyone? Cuz that’s it for guys from this camp who made an impact. 2 guys. Pretty brutal. Surely I’m missing someone but I’m not am I? Maybe you can say vanterpool also. So 3 guys. That’s not very good. Scouting is a problem. Yes got potential for an end and D tackle but 3 guys stepping up isn’t lots.

Sad. Zachs interview today. Delusional the guys he mentioned who he wants back are all guys who are finished.

Traded to Ottawa with Elgersma for Dru Brown and an OL but likely means his option is retirement. I wonder if there’s an option to become QB coach here. Zach seems like a guy who could be a coaching candidate.

People can **** on Jake but the problems on D aren’t on Jake. Jake’s skill level isn’t there but the guy busts his fat ass every play, he doesn’t win his battle often but he tries his hardest. Then you got a guy like Willie. A guy who takes several plays a game off, every game. I’m not sure what the bigger problem in the room would be. Dude trying every play or dude taking plays off every other play. Willie goes for knockdowns. You know how ridiculous that is that they allow this? How sad that is that they can’t get consistent effort from him but are seemingly ok with it ? Then ppl ***** about Jake cuz I dunno , cuz ppl rather a team of guys who only try sometimes. Willie is a guy im letting go. His attitude and work ethic are toxic to young players. Has to be. Jake is gone also tho. But not related at all. Jake is gone cuz skill don’t match the heart. Willie gone cuz heart don’t match the skill. There’s a few players on the team who fall in that heart don’t match the skill category. Sounds crazy but I’ll take a Jake who tries over a Willie who don’t. But it’s probably time to change the culture a bit more. Skill needs to match heart and heart needs to match skill. Give me a team of guys who gives a **** and play to the whistle.

It’s not tho cuz you don’t make those decisions plus the problem isn’t Jake on D. Last night our DBs got owned and our lbs couldn’t tackle. Our DL did nothing all year outside of a nothing game last week. So no Adams doesn’t make a lick of a difference, if he was this stud like ppl pretend he’d be starting not on the PR. Not about to be a free agent. Out the league. Could have been swooped the last 5 weeks but nope. The fringe player didn’t cost us any games. Our “stars” did. Brady put the ball on the ground. Willie being paid more than Jake ,did the same as Jake. I mean, I get it, I want the DL to be more impactful and aggressive also but it’s JY not RH. JYs D don’t really do that. But when you get down to it, Jake isn’t good but he tries every play. He tries his hardest. That’s more than you can say for Willie and a few others who constantly take plays off.

On O new OC and scheme would go along way new tackle guard center. (Vanterpool takes one spot there) (Bryant kola neuf are done) 1 maybe 2 receiver spots. I like pokey Demski sterns and the Canadians. We need an upgrade on Mitchell tho badly. Big time. QB 2. most the changes I see are on D. The entire DL. Kyrie Wilson. A couple DBs. Maybe it’s time to find a Canadian kicker. American kicker who only boots fgs is a poor roster spot to waste. keep. Zach (pay cut) Brady. Peterson. MCI Vanterpool Wallace Randolph. pokey. Sterns. Demski. Clercius. Cobb. Corcoran (he was the rookie) Jenkins. Jaworski. KMB Shay. Smith. Kramdi. Woodbey. Ayers. holm. Nichols( maybe, he’s getting older tho) I’m not sold on Allen but he can he brought back to compete . Sheahan can come back. Vaval and Leroux also. I’m missing a bunch of Canadians for sure cuz not like there a million that make it to FA so gotta keep some of the depth but who? Good question. Vibert and guys like that.

ALS or Ticats will beat the riders on the final. BC ain’t winning in the cold next week. No chance. No chance in hell. They barely beat Calgary who struggled mightily in the first half. And that was indoors. They ain’t winning. I also don’t see it with Montreal tho. I think Alexander is lots of hype but 1 second away from serious injury every play. Someone is gonna end him one time. He just plays with 2 much aggression. It’s not gonna end well for him.

It doesn’t matter what I think. I’m not the one making the decisions and won’t be ever. It matters what they think and he’s on the PR. Adams is American tho and Jake is Canadian so the comparison don’t work. Just cuz one guy sucks doesn’t mean the guy behind him is a stud.

Are we pretending the Jays don’t spend the same or more. This just proves that Toronto is the city of chokers. I’ve never seen more teams blow leads than a Toronto one does. Something in the air or water there. We need a west coast team to cheer for.

Adams is on the PR. Tells you what they think of him. The talent wasn’t there. Just cuz some rookies showed up against a Montreal team who didn’t give a **** doesn’t mean a thing. Person is sitting beside Adams on the PR btw. Aka they gonna be let go. They will be FA’s. Adams and person won’t be back here so no they don’t make a difference. Jake Thomas is the whipping boy but he never cost us games on his own, all these players people go on about, they don’t help us win but they ain’t why we losing. they can fire hogan anytime because the O was pathetic all year.

I don’t like Zach saying he’s hopes the core group is back and if not then he has options. I mean honestly, the core group needs to be changed, Brady can stay. Demski can stay. Pokey can stay on O. The rest? Not including Wallace Randolph vanterpool need to go. The core on D of Jake Willie Kyrie and maybe even Parker and Nichols needs to change. Sterns is a good 3 receiver. I’d keep him also and Clercius. I guess in reality, the O changes should be o line and scheme. The D? Some players need to change. we need a center. A guard. A tackle. A receiver better than Mitchell. And a new OC and prob should look at QB 2. D? That’s where the majority of change needs to be. Entire DL. Probably ideally Kyrie and Tony if we got the cdn kids. Couple DBs.
