We never had Demski as a rookie. He had 3 years to develop and become a professional before coming here. Keep in mind Ontaria isn't a 26 year old rookie like Shemar Bridges in hamilton who spent considerable time on an NFL practice roster. Ontaria is 24 and after college went to one NFL training camp and is here. Lawler was an NFL draft pick and spent and entire year on an NFL practice roster and then went to camp with the BC lions and spent most of his first year on an NFL practice roster. Geroy Simon spent a full year on the practice roster before becoming a starter. He struggled as rookie with having short arms when trying to make contested catches. Needed time to get settled and not be intimidated by the professional game. Schoen would be one example that goes the other way. He did spent time with 4 NFL teams but was never on a practice roster for very long. Similar age when he came up here to Ontaria Wilson but Scheon is the exception rather than the rule. I think it goes without saying that Scheon was a more impressive rookie than Ontaria Wilson. Why would we care about the other games? A raw rookie just getting his feet wet and then made a big play and his confidence started take off. What value do those early games have. When I start a new job it takes some time to learn my responsibilities, get my feet wet, and confidence up. But once it clicks why would i be worry about my performance on day one of the job? The criticism before last night was that he only had one big game. Now the evidence says he's not a one game wonder. I'm not against some degree of caution but I think its more than fair to be excited about the guy especially on a team with little to no excitement outside of Wilson right now.

I view it as 2 out of 3 elite games and he's doing it while he's the only really skilled receiver we are throwing out there. He'll be a real gem once Lawler. If i was other teams id be leaving Demski open right now begging for him to get the ball in his hands. Wilson at least recovers his own fumbles and has the skill to catch the ball he almost dropped on the rebound. Its just rookie nerves. What's the excuse of our veterans who keep giving the game away while Wilson saves them? Most of our best receivers were far worse as rookies or sitting on the practice roster. He's not his fault that he's the only receiver worth a damn we're fielding right now and he has to carry the offence. Not sure if many of you are old enough to vividly remember how inconsistent Milt was his first couple years. The touchdowns he dropped still haunt me.

I get that people don't want to hear old warn out lines from the coach at a time like this. I personally couldn't care less what he says. Its a crappy situation. I'd rather no even listen to the coach right now or the players. I'm still willing to follow roster moves, practice reports and watch games but that's where i draw the line right now. I'm not a glutton for punishment. Are you gonna check the score?

Ontaria Wilson is legit! Problem is he's the only receiver on the field right now that's playing above replacement level. I just wish the refs hadn't stolen the ball from us at the end of the 4th quarter. I would have loved a FG miss for a single point at that juncture.

What an interesting comment. It says everything. He was pulled due to the team's desire to get better. Eli was terrible on those back to back sacks but he must have settled in after that. Lets keep playing him and let offensive line gel with him in it.

The nice thing is the pain of a close loss should get easier going forward. At this point there's not a lot of hope left to salvage.

There definitely should be accountability but it doesn't need to happen in any kind of public shaming type of way.

Nobody deserved a victory for their performance today. Unfortunately, the only crew getting consequences for their poor performance is the one that actually played the best out of the three. The refs and the Argos get off scotch free.

Bailey please

With Zach out we’ve lost Streveler as a potential receiver so we are down to Augustine and Jefferson?

We can’t be fumbling but it seems also that the only plays we are executing are high danger passes.

Lapo is available.

Alexandre can’t tackle anymore

Where’s my Kramdi haters at?

My prediction was based on Dukes not Arbuckle.

Can’t really complain about not having time to throw so far.

In his last 4 games Dukes has thrown 5 interceptions and 1 touchdown pass. Winnipeg has been highly competitive all season save for the season opener vs Montreal. After a big disappointing loss last week I'm expecting a rebound and getting back to the winning ways of the 2 previous games. This season will be going nowhere fast if we can't win a game against Dukes when we need one. Patterson is significantly better than Dukes.

As it sits right now I'm expecting a win for the bombers. They've won 2 out of 3. Dukes seems to be losing his confidence. They will be keeping Grant contained. If we can limit turnovers and contain Grant i think Dukes will hand us the victory. Toronto is good enough the run but not as good as Saskatchewan. We'll need to establish Brady offensively and control the clock.

And when is it my turn to start a GDT?

I agree his catch rate needs to increase. I don't however consider him a smaller guy. At 6 feet tall i'd say he's average at worst for a CFL receiver. He's going to have the height advantage over most CFL defensive backs.

I guess part of the calculation for having so many DB's this week is having as much speed as possible on the roster to deal with Janarian Grant.

Sign Bailey... then release lucky

Wilson is going to be a good one. He did have his struggles last week when the Riders made shutting him down a focal point. He battled through and eventually started to break free from it and made an incredible catch to give the team hope later in the game. It was a big league catch in my opinion that only the special receivers in this league make. He's going to be fine especially when we have more receivers in the lineup who will garner more attention. Agree with this. Or just keep Whitehead around for insurance. He's the new Namaan Roosevelt.

They already had Ayers and Jones on the roster in limited roles which now are likely to be expanded upon. The only other linebacker they had available to elevate would have been global Fabian Weitz. Probably more a question of why they don't have more depth in this area on the practice roster than these specific roster moves not making sense.

Can se sign Bailey now in time to gain insights into the Argos game plan for this week? Cant wait for him to sign here this week so the team can be comfortable playing him in 6 or 7 weeks.
