BC's on a short week, we're coming off a bye. BC's on their 2nd string QB, we're the healthiest we've been all season. We've got home field advantage. If we don't win this one, then we have to admit that BC's the better team and that the road to the Grey Cup goes through Vancouver in the west.

Anyone who wants to remove kicking from the sport of football should just stick to watching hockey.

I think the biggest thing is that Bennet is just so useless it's like we don't have anyone dressed behind the Jeff's and rotation is so key. Like seriously he's the invisible man out there.

As others have said, I can’t understand our roster management…. It’s crazy frustrating, but at least we have Wilson back. Looking forward to seeing him out there again.

Would also move one of the most exciting plays that you can get in CFL is a missed field goal return

I would dearly love to see the logic behind thinking it will improve offense.... having that goal post as a way to pick a db is probably a bigger factor in touchdowns than anything. In short, **** gappers are dumb. Like seriously add 20 yards to every field goal try? So we don't see field goals from anything past the 30 yard line? What a God damned stupid idea. You know what hampers offense in the cfl? **** quarterbacks.

Wait.. what? How has the Ukrainian offensive failed? It hasn't even ramped up yet. Who uses "SMO"? other than russians? It's a war. the aggressor is russia. Peace talks might be on the horizon. Who is gettin grid of Zelenski? These are interesting takes and I am interested in hearing more. On the russian war on Ukraine, it's pretty one sided here- very interested in hearing another take.

Pretty cool video series starting up on bluebombers.com https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/07/30/beneath-the-blue-episode-one-finding-home/ First one came out a few days ago and is an interview with Dalton Schoen's parents.

BC loses a Dline guy...they replace him with another....we Lose a Dline guy...we replace with a fullback....makes sense yup

Our guys will be bent over at the waist in the end of the first half and end of 3rd quarter while they will be fresh all night. Over 30 with humidity too.

I still think it’s a mistake not to have more bodies on the DL. And benching Parker is hella confusing.

Augustine should have utility as a blocking back. If he doesn’t I have no idea why we roster him with McCrae on and don’t put a better player on for D and special teams. Bennett isn’t really a player so we continue to go with 5 DL and Maruo really as the 3rd rush end.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree. Our defensive rotation usage at this point is beyond pathetic.

IF we used him on the dline...or even just tried him out a few snaps then I'd be somewhat ok with it...but still not ideal...

This D was at it's best with heavy rotation on the DL. Not sure why they refuse to get back to that. It's the tried and true formula in the cfl right now.

But he's a Navy Seal godammit!

and...with Burtenshaw back...we still burn a DA on Jackson....and dont add a DL guy...or keep Parker on...like wtf Oshea??...again....just questionable stupid roster management...

Not a fan... Davis must have watching re-runs of Fajardo ringing balls off the post when he thought this up.

100 PERCENT.....BC also tho has been healthy all yr, especially on defense and I think VA/Evans is a wash there anyway...both are kinda hot/cold guys and lack consistency...

My 2 cents...Jackson sucks to use a DA spot on him......but.....he is a really good blocker and let's be honest last time we played them we needed better blocking. One would assume the reason he is on again is that the coaches feel he adds enough in his blocking ability to offset the thin depth it creates elsewhere.

I'm not one to complain about the roster decisions as much as others... I trust out coaching staff since they have about 20,000x time more football knowledge then I'll ever have in my life time... but to use a DA spot on a backup fullback instead of an extra DL or DB (especially one who can return punts) is an incredibly baffling decision...

Or dress a backup dline man who can actually be usefulI?... i guess tho when u have Bennett and rapidly declining Thomas u have no need

I get MOS's trust in the Oline and not making changes (I would but I get his rationale). I don't see why we keep using Jackson as a DA when it could be used on the Dline or Secondary. I don't understand only dressing 6 Dlinemen when most teams go 7-9 and your team has had great success doing that. I don't get the love for Kramdi. If Darby has lost his job, then why not use Parker instead?

This is as healthy as we are going to be. No more excuses! If we get trucked, will there be any fallout? McCrae returning punts scares me. He looked shaky until Parker replaced him last week.

Why the **** do we have Jackson on as a DA if Burtenshaw is back? A back up fullback who uses a spot that could be a DB (Parker) or a DT (Fox).

as it sits...I would assume Kramdi is the 8th canadian starter, and we only likely declare 1 on defense...well that would be the smart thing...but smart with our roster seems to have gone by bye....speaking of which @DTonOB have you asked, or can you ask Osh why he is the only coach not utilizing the Nationalized player when it would obviously benefit us in more ways than one...and as the coach...is it not his job to put the best team out there and refuses to do so?....Inquiring minds want to know Biggie...Wilson and I think Mauro can al do it...and we have gone games with Jackson not dressed, so obviously someone was the backup..that excuse is a pile of sh!t

thats what I said earlier...pointless reason...but I sure that isn't the thought process for why.....but wish Osh could give us the reason tho for his moves...but all he gives is smart arse comments...Like when asked about gys running reps with the #1's...the obvious starters for this game....he spouts off his schtick of "what makes you think those are the #1's" and "all the guys are #1's"...ya ya we get it....You consider all the guys on the roster as capable guys...but c'mon man...stop being such a tool about it when it is flat out obvious some different guys were taking starters reps with the other starters

Unless we can show we can hang with BC and Toronto, we are not in the top tier with them like we've all been saying all year.

BC getting Rhymes back and one of their vet DBs, as well. They're also likely better than the last time we played them.

I’d be pretty happy to see us run jeffcoat Habba Willy and Lawson for a good portion of reps. Then spell guys with Hansen, Jackson, even Garbutt.

what other team in the CFL would roster those 2 guys as defensive rotation pieces...I cant think of one and yeah....you can get away with a smaller guy way moe effectively now...thats why our cheetah with 4 ends worked so good.....too bad we didnt have/use 4 guys in that manner healthiest lineup we have had all yr for sure with projected starters being available...I wouldn't say the strongest lineup tho, as we are thin in the second most important part of the team....have no return threat at all now in the punt return aspect, and had our second best HB back on roster last game (and probably most versatile).....then promptly sit him down basically for a fullback

but really...we have enough ST guys anyway...and I sure a Canadian who has had reps there before...can be adequate in that role when we playing one of the better offenses in the league...with minimal defensive depth and 2 guys fresh off the 6 game Just look at BC depth chart...and rotational depth they have on defense....and what they have been doing this yr...then look at ours....and correlate it to the issues we have been plagued with on defense...BC defense is gonna be fresh all game and bringing the heat...so hopefully Buck has schemed for it...looking at their depth chart doesnt have me feeling too good

Definitely......roster management is going to bite us in the ass and it's becoming a glaring problem

Parker is better than guys on this roster. He should be playing if he's healthy.

Oh? Dressing 2 fbs and only 6 dline 5 really cuz 1 is Bennett and no Parker is good smart roster management? No extra dbs dressed so when rose or someone gets nicked then what... exume or Hallett? Sorry it is dumb

There is no way to look at this other than a coup attempt. since death penalty is probably too much to hope for, Let's hope that each of these fascists get twenty years in jail. nothing else will deter these people. and let's hope that Americans that want a democracy, are better prepared, next time.

Wilson at SAM would be a gift from Hall to opposing OCs. He's a great/maybe the best WIL in the game. Don't move him from there. I believe Wilson can cover....but if the idea to is to bring Sankey in and move Biggy to WIL....people are suggesting Sankey is better than one of those two....and he's not. Sankey can stay out of WPG. Overhyped, likely over priced and completely useless in our D.

The Lions absolutely annihilated us last time. Let's hope it was smoke and mirrors but until proven otherwise, I have to assume that they'll be a similar threat this week.

Remember the OL that was wrecked by the Lions last time? We're running it back! Our DL, who should feast on Evans, will be gassed by halftime.

Functional superconductors have the potential to change the world. They would alter almost every technology, industry .....we have. News on the reduction of their functional temperature has been really quiet for a long time. The last I'd heard it was stuck at minus 70 C. So is this legit ? Would if even be allowed by those who wield the real power in the world ? Imagine Manitoba feeding our hydro electric generated power to the Southern US or California in a small buried cable. They would allow the world to meet carbon reduction targets easily with the changes they would generate. Sorry but I have my doubts that it is happening. But I'd be happy if it did.

FIFY. 😁

He can disappear at times, and a very streaky player. He has been that way even when he was in Usports with Laval. My Western Mustangs nullified him in the 2017 Vanier Cup and Betts was a non factor in that game. Keep pounding him, he is a player that gets very agitated easily.

Suitor and Forde both come from the era where every team had a wideout and a slot on each side of the field with 2 backs in the backfield. The formation would change when they moved backs either straight behind the QB into I form or into Pro form or Strong/Weak I with the fullback motioning over. You'd almost never see a bunch (which is what everyone is running their 3 man routes and run stuff out of now) or a receiver motioning across a formation. TSN desperately needs new blood.

I'm old enough to remember Wilson catching Brandon Banks from behind on a crossing route in a Grey Cup game.

Lots of Parker reps at HB....could this be the easing out of Fancy feet?...we need more physicality so could be
