Like are we only looking great in comparison to some really bad teams...? Just questions. Obviously we've taken advantage of some weak teams. 2021 was entirely because we brought back our Grey Cup roster while everyone else was staggering.

ANd that likely includes a lot of the older depth players. Not just the starters. Edited November 20, 2023 by 17to85 rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 4 Grey cups in a row is still pretty ******* impressive in cap Era cfl. If ppl want it to continue, it's time to get younger in certain spots . If not it's gonna all coming crashing down hard. We played a navy seal with no pro experience all year. Changes need NEED to happen Booch, Noeller and Jesse 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Doing it now would simply be a re-load. Certain spots and overall depth need upgrades..... rebusrankin, Goalie, Jesse and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Just now, 17to85 said: have you looked at the average age of the team though? They avoided making changes this season to run it back, fine, but that means you gotta do more this offseason. Yes they still had succes and yes not everyone needs to go... but they gotta make some changes or they'll just keep getting older and older. yup....only a few minor ones required...some are already in house Our main issue is we need to get away from this mindset of targeting these special team only guys, who basically offer no real use on our actual defensive and offensive units And we need to get back to the days of guys earning the spot...not inheriting it....Like when we cut was it Bryant...or Poop Johnson for stove...everyone was like wtf?!?!? We built a winner and grabbed some cups with a good group....but now country club life is over....need to fill in some gaps for the new breed to augment our core we maintain BigBlueFanatic and ddanger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly it. franchise best team last season and 1 point grey cup loss, yeah I can get behind running it back this year, but this was the only year you can really do that. age happens fast in football and if you don't actively get younger right now you will find yourself in a bad spot pretty quick.

I'd guess right now, they are more than ok with people having that opinion of them. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 We lost. Bottom line. 2 years in a row we lost when it mattered pretty much with these same players... pretty much We lost so therefore we need to get better which means making those tough and not so tough decisions now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our line is good enough. We have some up and comers to push. Our receiving core should be great. Our RB has been great. Our DL has the starters but we need to go back to rotating quality depth. Our LBs should be good if our depth takes the next step. We have an abundance of DBs. There's no one position group where we're too old. It's just a few guys who should be forced to earn their spots.

I'm more pissed because it didn't have to be as so......and that they allowed the complacency to continue because the win's glossed over a lot of the little issues....and yeah they were little, but at the same time huge, but easily fixed....and we didn't I like Osh as a coach, but he needs to evolve a bit, and also put his stubborn personal biases to the side for the better of his team, and sometimes not be the buddy, but the guy who makes the hard decisions even tho its the tough one Hard to believe that Osh being the player that he was wouldn't have put the Team first but it is what it is. Thing is, whose going to tell him to change if walters doesn't come back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. We ran it back after a 15-3 year. We did 14-4 and came up 4 points short.

You have small rosters in the CFL. You need backups who can play, who can spell off people to keep them fresh. 2019 and 2021 this team had thebest depth and won because of it. THis year not so much.

TBURGESS Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Was watching the pre-game show. Naylor and Farhan said that MOS was making all the decisions since the middle of the yrear & that Walters hadn't been offered a new contract yet. IF that's the case, then I could see Walters moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
