I don't know much, but I know this: Wade Miller doesn't suffer underperformance. He knows how to fix **** and get **** done. If things are as ****** as some believe... He'll fix it. 

If it starts affecting attendance or stuff like that, I have no doubt he'd step in.  But we're still inching towards another sell-out (over 30k sold last I saw), even after back to back duds, so that success may temper his desire to get involved with the on-field product.

Thing is....people will look at it as yeah we got to 5 cups and tink thats success....if failing at the the main ultimate goal is success....then I dunno

Even ;ast yr...yeah but we started out 2-6...and turned it around...not really....didnt change a thing and we caught a bit of lightening in a bottle and rattled off some wins and glossed over what ailed us....poor roster...no depth and what depth we had not integrating them and when the big games came....well we were unprepared....had to play hurt guys to go with the inferior ones we figured were good enough....and we are headed right down that same path again at break neck speed...with a bunch of same guys who are even worse than last yr

and if not for an act of god we would have had to play 3 gaes and win em all to get the cup...we couldnt do that with only 2 games....anuone thinking we could have ran the table is living in a state of delusion with how we went about the playoffs last yr...and if ZC gad got hurt in WSF or WF.....good luck with that

We had openings at corner...safety....end....LB's...guard....receiver...and a couple spots we should have seriously looked to get better at...SAM...Center...DT/NOSE....Punter....BUT as per usual we just filled it with incumbents...retreads from elsewhere...and guys not food enough to make our roster from last yr....and still not good enough....we really didnt even consider change in a multitude of spots so really TC was just a exercise in nothing....nobody new....nobody younger and compound it with continued poor coaching...prep...and rostering....a vet laden team like ours should never come out with the duds we have ...so is it coaching...talent....attitude/dissention in ranks....likelu all 3 by my estimate...to me that spells danger and serious change needed....either ultimatum and or threats from above....or stumble thri this yr and do a purge next.....cause if we dont....be same ol same ol

Sad part is this is Grey Cup yr and we should have went scorched earth with signings and attitude and cutting dead weight....but nope

That’s the most irritating part of all. Home Grey Cup game and they chose to fiddle **** around for the second offseason in a row.

Last game the guy had 1 or two punts that were actually catchable. Cgy was placing punts on the opposite side he lined up on. And he had 1 stop on the 1 yard line when it looked like it was going to bounce in from the 5. I have no issue with him right now outside of him not really breaking a long run for the last couple.

If only there was a way to mitigate them from kicking the ball away from the exact spot you stand at every time.

It appears we lack the depth in a few areas. Vaval is a db also tho so… I think he’s dressed no matter what. Do we have any others on the PR cuz I think the easiest change is Jake. Or Bridges. But do we have guys to replace them with? The answer appears to be no. That’s on Kyle and the scouts. 

Kyle doesn't decide the roster...or PR...Osh does....so if there nobody to add to roster...that's on Osh...we had lots of guys to choose from in camp...its who was kept and what the makeup of the roster...pr...that's the issue....Osh created both

Holy hell the bag policy at BMO field is draconian!

To be fair it was probably written in the flutie era, when  last they had 15k fans or more in attendance.

I was curious so I checked it out. It's worse than trying to board a plane. (Only clear plastic bags are allowed)

This is what I laughed at - "To protect our fans, employees and team and to align with league standards, a restricted bag policy is in place at BMO Field."

I am pretty sure this isnt the league standard.

Bombers allow purses and backpacks in with no issues.

Those policies aren’t going to help people’s game day experience and would likely have a negative effect on their desire to return.

You can bring and empty water bottle to fill, but it can’t be metal or glass, only plastic. No musical instruments, does that mean no cowbell? I’m on a plane in less than 12 hours and I still don’t know what obnoxious noise makers I can take. 
 

Spent $30 on a clear vinyl bag to be able to carry something, no sneaking the mini chocolate bars I normally do to home games.

Went the fanny pack route. Can fit a mini pack of Kleenex and a chapstick at most. Lol.

I’m pretty sure that all NFL stadiums have the same or similar bag policy, so this is Toronto’s way of pretending that they’re “big league” too.

I thought we had this great culture and the vets held guys accountable. Guess that's about as true as there being a Santa Claus.

Wait! What are you saying??? There is no Santa Claus????? 😁 But in all honesty I can not help but agree. We shall see what evolves today facing a  poor Toronto team.

Hopefully we are not the elixir that the Argos need to get rolling...but the other way around...a loss here...and oh boy...there's something wrong with something

Honestly after 2023 we should have made some hard decisions and focused on this year and hosting the Grey Cup. I get it would be hard moving on from some guys, but we let a young stud QB go, and kept guys like Bighill, etc around longer. It should have been the time to cut the cord then.
