I don’t look at at of the qbs and see a clear tier 1 mop that you should be scared of. but I also don’t see us making it hard for any qb to succeed. 

Yeah we got beat by a looney MBT/Rookie sex pest combo....The Faj....Arbuckle.....so in all reality it likely doesn't matter who QB's against us as history has dictated...and the reality of all that is in all 3 those losses we were out-coached....out-schemed and essentially out-rostered as we repeatedly dressed injured guys and the usual collection of wouldnt be on any other roster than our's guys....and based on what we have witnessed throughout this season....nothing's changed...Other than we now have a completely incompetent OC to add to the mix

So I’m sensing this frustrates you?

If you take care of the ball at least one of those results are going to flip. There's no reason to have Prukop come in and throw into double coverage after grabbing all the momentum with that Grant punt return in 2022. There's no reason to trot Collaros out with a busted up hand to throw 4 picks in 2024. 2024 is extra frustrating because you have the chance to take the lead after Zach messes up his hand when you get the ball deep in Toronto territory and Oliveira doesn't get a touch with Wilson in. You take the field goal, its still close... defense gives up a long TD which is what ever and then its all passes the rest of the way when Collaros is in with his mangled hand.

 

2022/2024 was defintely on the offense/play calling... 2023 was kind of wash but you would hope the defense could put up a stop at the end there.

Yeah, ha…. Not sure why it quoted 3 times, but it does drive home my point, so I’ll keep it that way.

I thought it was some kind of Candyman thing where you say you are frustrated with the Bombers three times and this youtube video suddenly appears.

same. Basically every other competitive high level team has figured out that you need to disrupt the qb, you don’t need pressure or sacks even but you have to change sight lines, windows, get the line pushed up on him etc.

Looks like he's frustrated with something

I saw Kyle Walters and O'shea sitting in the nob the other day. They signed their dual extensions there last time

Therefore I'm starting the rumour - extensions announced post Grey Cup but they're in the drawer

The fact that they're still hanging out together at least gives me hope that there wasn't some kind of falling out and a disconnect between them. I want nothing more than for them to turn it around together and find a way to right the ship.

Maybe it was one of those sad divorce settlement things. They could be trying to figure out who gets custody of jake thomas.

And at this point Walters is only trying to get custody of Thomas to hurt MOS.

was there serious reporting that indicated that there was some kind of disconnect?

Definitely not.... But as a child of divorce, I took the babbling rabble around here too seriously.

Serious reporting doesn't exactly go hand in hand with the CFL unfortunately.

Yes, it does. For example, Chef Bobby Flay apparently regrets not naming his daughter "Sue".

[ShyGuy]

Big Stan with the lifetime achievement award.

Kind of surprised Holm got the defensive nom, voters always seem to love stats and Jones has a ton of tackles... I also laugh everytime I see the PFF article on 3downNation and see Willie's ridiculous 99.0 score way at the top of the list.

I think Vaval has a good shot to make it out of the the West in both categories, but that will be the only Bomber there.

Im suprised that Alexander got the MOP nom for the Als starting for only 7 games... that must be some kind of record, he's not even eligible for the passing leaders.

This is the players vote. I think you’re thinking of “all cfl team” that is voted for by fans 

Not surprised for Vaval! Fantastic year. I think the nfl will be calling again. 
 

I think Demski deserved MOP. But I suppose how do you give him MOP but not MOC?
