This was always going to be the path. He's not going to be given a spot after a few weeks of practice over guys that coaches have been with or scouted for years. Whether he's on the Jags PR or another team picks him up as a #3 (I bet he would choose to stay with the Jags if that's how it works), this was always going to be how he latched on and started the process of working his way up.

Feels pretty routine in the CFL. The guys who are good stick around.

I was 10 in '97. I remember going for every game (The club gave my friends and I seats for handing out t-shirts to the crowd pre-game). Don't remember a single play/game. Didn't really become a fan until the Khari/Glenn-era.

It was the only time in my life when I didn't care to watch games. We'd go and start drinking immediately. Most of the time was spent at the rum hut.

But Masoli is not healthy so they need to figure out a way to win without him.

Tre Ford making some buzz in the second half of the season can only be good. And there's no reason they can't pull ahead of any of the 3-win teams for a cross-over spot, as silly as that would have sounded a few weeks ago.

Bad night for the Rourke's.

I'm sorry, this is dumb. The term "leading passer" clearly refers to the person leading the league in yards. Just as Brady is the league leading rusher, and Mack is the league leading receiver Hollins probably passed him this week tho).

Lol. They only have one loss and it was when Kelly was hurt and missed most of the game. I’d have them first.

🤮 (That is a puking emoji for those that can't see. It both describes how I feel when I see green merchandise and accurately describes the colour of said merch).

I want 600 yards of offence. It can be 500 for Zach and 100 for Brady. Or 400 for Zach and 200 for Brady, I’m not picky. But I want absolute destruction.

I imagine that in the installation during the week, everyone agrees on the calls they're going to make in certain situations. Within each play, there will be options based on how the D lines up, and then Zach will go through his progressions based on what he sees.

Now that we're relatively healthy, I don't take issue with any of our starters. The D has been excellent. I would just arrange the depth differently. And take McCrae off returns.

Until the last couple of years, weren't they consistently one of the league leaders in attendance?

You can make that argument, but that game came down to Brady's fumble and Zach's pick-6 in the final couple minutes - and then yeah, it put our D in a bad spot that they weren't able to cover. At the end of the day, our coach is making investments in ST at the detriment of defence. And I'd be fine with it if our ST was noticeable better than other teams and it gave us an edge, but that hasn't been true at all. Now, to take a "middle-ground", our D has been among the best in the league - if not the best - so you can believe we don't "need" additions. But it sure does help your players out late in games/seasons.

I always navigate threads by clicking the "Next unread topic" button. So I always get a daily dose of #oldtakesexposed that I ignore because hindsight is 20/20. But this one was funny. 4 years later!

If Edmonton was competitive and Calgary got the stadium that team deserved, the league average would jump by 10k.

The point is, you can't dictate what others say. If we want to talk about the Bombers, and we're allowed to criticize (even though we're all incredibly happy with the Bombers), we can discuss anything we want. There can't be a caveat of, you can discuss things but only if you also add a disclaimer that says, "MOS is always right and I am always wrong".

I don’t think it can bite us in a particular game, not in a way you could really notice we’re not going to notice guys running fractions of a second slower late in the game). I more worry about the cumulative affect over the course of a season.

To hold the mirror back up to you, can we not be simultaneously happy with the results of this team for the past few years AND still talk about how we could do better/sustain the success? I mean, what’s the point of having the forum if we can’t?

Nope. Thanks. So we now have 10 LB's. This is just ridiculous.

Without a signing announcement, I’m guessing guys off of the 6-game.

I've heard him ask the same questions. MOS answers the same way he always does. He either scoffs and denies or scoffs and gives a non-answer.

And you best not be skinny.

They're both poop.
