Sorry gotta call this out..we made it to the Grey cup last year..yea we lost but that ain't mediocrity...the bar is so high around here it's kinda sad..has everyone forgot how many years of crap we put up with before this regime took over?

Those years wandering in the CFL wilderness are all too fresh in my memory and remaining status quo will guarantee repeat performances.  The Bombers staggered into the playoffs last year on a downward spiral and mostly thanks to terrible teams in Regina, Calgary and Edmonton. And I posit that 2024 was a mediocre year and we headed there again.

yeah....definitely not one that breeds any reason for optimism thats for sure....is this where we really at now?.....yikes

And again the Hallett add.....over kelly....basically swapping a player for the same type/role player....just an older...less skilled one....Even tho Kelly has had his less than stellar moments he offers more now....and in future than Hallett.

 this is just more of Os's bias and penchant for tenured guys...and his personal likes over talent?....cause that move makes no sense whatsoever....Now for Makonzo....Vibert...Bailey....even Cobb....that makes sense...this makes none....a guy who hasnt played in weeks...fresh off injury list....older...and quite frankly....not that good....and this is just an ongoing thing here...and why we slid hard

Please....make it make sense

Weakest lineup of the year! Looks like ol Mother Hubbard's cupboard is pretty bare! Might be a 400+ yard day for Bo Levi!

At least 5 linebackers on the roster who won't take a snap on defense... brilliant

sure doesn’t show any urgency to try and make the play offs down the stretch. 

 I can’t imagine the cats prep meeting looking at that chart.

status quo tho....hard to develop and assess a guy running skelly and then miming other teams defences wearing numbered pinnies in practice....

Jones Adams and Woods would take out 3 current Americans on the roster. Jake Thomas ain’t taken off so woods can come on. Woods is American. It really isn’t as simple as they play. If those 3 play, 3 current Americans on the roster come off. Jake stays on cuz honestly our Canadian depth is garbage. I really don’t see Adams or woods being that dominant that they make a difference. Adams is a guy I want to like but he really hasn’t done lots as a pro. He’s just average really. We have the weakest American DTs in the league.

Ok... so do it. Ayers comes off for one easy. Upgrade DL performance. Does it impede special teams? Maybe but enough to sacrifice the play of the defence which is on the field much much more... doubt it. 

Put Jones in for either Jones or Wilson I don't really care, neither one are difference makers at this point. Want to ride ourselves of Jake? Well we drafted some linebackers this year,  let them play and bam we got the other American linebacker off and have a much stronger DL.

we are starting 9 canadians. we could go down plus use the naturalized rule. 

We also have ayers who doesn’t play D and isn’t a DL, and we have 3 back up imp dbs. wouldn’t be hard to rebalance the line to stick in a couple more imps even into the starting line up.

You realize adams was already on with Thomas...and we dressed both together last yr to eh? 

Woodbey superseded Ayers...so there's one swap...Vpool as well off could count for another..we dont need 3 cdn DT even with no adams and Woods...or Jones

J.Jones could of replace a questionable Kyrie...or even T.Jones...and we'd be better either way

Talk bout someone who can't see forest thru trees on how you could re-jig the roster

You like like yip yap and critique and off hand others on here repeatedly...yet fail to see the stupidity in some the things you suggest...some with no bearing or fact based support whatsoever

We don't know if we have weakest..but yeah far from the best...but they better than our cdn ones...who are without a doubt worst in league save for Lawson...and easily can be argued worst in league in some time...any reps with none of the 2 on the field makes us instantly better...

If Adams and woods were some superstar DL sure but they aren’t. Ppl need to accept and admit that, they aren’t great. Are they better than Jake? Probably but we all know Jake would still be getting more reps so really, they don’t want to use the DL like some of you want the DL to be used, they don’t want 8 or 9 DL dressed like most of us do. So I don’t even see the point in even talking about it honestly. Yeah they start 9 Canadians, I know. We all know. That isn’t gonna change just cuz it’s repeated 50 times online. 
 

Adams got less reps than Jake. That’s what they think about him. It don’t matter what you think, you are just a fan, our opinions are irrelevant.

Probably?? U just confirmed you are bordering on clueless 

[Booch]

Look at top 3 teams...winning record teams

Rotate 7 to 9 guys up front...90 % American...all can play...dominate

Look at Superbowl and how why Philly dominated

Our 2 cup wins...T.O schooling us...all in common...legit front loaded import dlines...Not a coincidence 

Look our 3 losses...and our season to date...osh still can't figure it out

we knew what we had in Adams and Woods as mentioned they played all of last year, so if they aren't good enough then why didn't we do anything about it? I think we only brought in 1 additional dt at training camp. We haven't added anyone to our practice roster
