I guess we could have been more dominant, but that's really splitting hairs as far as I am concerned. 2021 and 2023 can end with the exact same outcome. Not sure how they are not remotely the same. I mean we like to wax poetic about 2021 because we didn't drop a deuce in a game or two but our win % this year is virtually the same and our margin of victory is better. this yr was good....but also we had 6 real weak sisters....so good seemed dominant...2021 was dominant...2022 could be as well, tho we tailed off as yr went due to some issues that kind of manifested more this yr... Look at it this way....we had a hot car...envy of everywhere....people couldnt keep up....but some miles and wear was put on it....and it wasn't the bee's knees no more....but able to keep us in the race, and win but at times was iffy, and harder than it should have been, especially when new racing rules came out to allow us to take the restrictor off the engine...but we were too far sighted to do it....and people caught right up....even took our title from us, and supplanted us as top car in the new race season Meanwhile we had some new gold tipped spark plugs in the garage...a new tire, and premium fuel to use instead of the old regular.....but we didn't use it.....but....if we did....we couldn't be touched again by the other racers.......that encompasses our last yr and a half K-Shack, SpeedFlex27 and TrueBlue4ever 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC...nope. Toronto...only on paper and because of a massive discrepancy in scheduling of tough games. We are still the top dog and Sunday will reinforce that. We had two teams that realistically challenged us as top dog. We went 3-1 against BC, and 1-0 vs Toronto. Yea we let our guard down a few too many times this year but that is not the same thing as not being as dominant. When we show up to play there is no one in this league that realistically has a shot at staying with us. That's still dominance. Our ability to dominate is as good as ever over the past 4 years, and consistency in doing so is not the same but that is an entirely different issue.

Just came to post this too. I remember a lot of us (myself included) questioning whether he had it during the first 6 games last season and then the switch went on for him. Just phenomenal how he's changed since then. JCon, BaconNBigBlue, Noeller and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayba the faj will go with a "No Maas" too? Blew a tire and popped a nut. You should have access to the TSN broadcasting crews headsets in what to say. Rod: What just happened there Duane? Duane: Well it seems he blew a tire and popped his nut. That will take him out minimum three plays for sure. Back to you Rod. I think we’d all agree this would help immensely spruce up the professionalism and accuracy of what’s really going on at field level.

I think this criticism is a little nit-picky. Especially when the opposing QB is known for having fantastic hang time on his 2nd down punt throws.

Colin Unger Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 I wonder if Kroeker is a Mennonite. Going to be suggestions of bias referring whether it was menno or frenchie. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
