The biggest thing on my mind is Toronto's QB strategy

I just knew I missed someone.

In all honesty...the smart move..and best sms wise is to cut bait with if not all but most of Wilson..BA..Gauthier..Thomas..Augustine...Biggie...Kolo...even not reupping Holm and yes Ford 

Frees up a lot of capitol..allows the guys chomping at bit to get snaps and just makes us better..younger...and more cap capable

Doesn't it? Until JBR mentioned it, I hadn't really thought about it... But it's bang on. Do whatever... Pay whatever... Take whatever penalties... To ensure we host both the WF and GC. That is going to be the greatest week of my life. 

Lose a draft pick...big deal...draft smart next yr...maintain your young up and comers and cut bait with old guys..they not the future...and really shouldn't be looked at as key for 2025

We could easily live without Augustine, Gauthier and Wilson. But....not Ford and/or Holm.

We're winning and losing based on what Collaros and the O can do or not do.

Until he retires you're all in on what he needs to make that O go.

You don't set records for DB contracts.  Pay the coaches who can develop guys and scheme.

Yup...dbs generally lowest on pay scale and we seem to have knack for finding guys to plug right in.

 

Walters kinda dbs like nothing.... I wouldn't be paying dbs big money. 

There's quite a bit of fat to trim from this team to be honest.

Yup...and it's a good situation with this game..win...some can go out on top...lose...it's 3 strikes and some have to be gone

This game, like most of them, will be won/lost at the LOS. 

Toronto's DL owned our OL this year. If they can do that again, we could be in trouble. 

Our DL hasn't owned their OL this year.

They could out physical us & their kick returns are way better than ours. 

Our big advantage is at QB and DB.

No Kelly = no win for the Argos.

Bighill definitely needs to be cut loose, gauthier may be serviceable as a backup only so take a shave. Same with the others you mentioned. Somehow though, can't see it happening.... for reasons you know why (head coach faves)...

Walters...needs to step up and take em right out of the equation

We dressed 7 DL. i expect a mix of 3 & 4 man fronts & blitz packages to rattle Arbuckle who is on the biggest stage of his career. Hopefully, the OL have some pride & remember the ass whipping they suffered last game & have something to prove.

Yep. they're hosting the GC so I'm hoping Walters is more cut throat this off season & jettisons the dead wood. 

I think TO is legit and Bombers are a bit past prime. Not looking forward to it, but I expect an upset and actually would not be surprised by an embarrassing beat down. TO has big play capability and the TO DLine is too much for that elderly Bomber OLine. I don't think Zach will be comfortable and probably will turn the ball over a lot.

I love Schoen but I just don't think we can afford both.

Still think schoen is the expendable one after that grey cup game?

I don't...and easily affordable...you make BO ..Lawler...Schoen fit in your SMS whatever means necessary....if that means punting Thomas...Biggie...Kolo...BA...Wilson...JA...whomever...so be it

 

I know you love Lawler because he can do what he did in the west final... but he was invisible today. That outcome bounds early was laziness on his part and the  he disappeared until Wilson under threw him in the endzone.
