For the pay harris got you would have had to cut willy. Ott only fit him and hank because they started fresh with no bad old contracts. If walters doesnt re up willy your still paying him a hefty dollar, and deal with the massive controversy of bringing in harris to a lofty deal while your qb plays out his last year. A major distraction, not some thing a team like this can deal with. Teams have lots of film on nichols Hes thrown almost 700 passes in the cfl. You replace and replace and replace you dont build chemistry and consistency. For that you have to stick to a few good players and turn them into a great core. Would we prefer to be running out kuale and brock ralph?

Teach willy to handle pressure, and the OL too. Get our dbs playing cover not cover + 10 yards. Swap mo and macho. Start corney. Maybe even use macho on teams start hurl move mo to s and ad 2 imps to the OL. Swing goosen out of centre. Bring in bond when healthy. Trade nuefield for a case of booster juice.

None of those guys are gonna be coming up here. 0% chance. People have talked about clements and barret for a long time. No way does mos go down to st imop. And tbh if we have to get rid of him as hc I wouldnt want him back as a CO. The rest is interesting though.

who said any thing about 5 year plan? Ottawa caught lightning in a bottle. One in 1000 situation. You dont build NI depth over night. Talent on the field isnt what has us looking like the worst team in the league. Talent is there to be a lot better. No team plays as flat and emotionless as this and wins. Id give your posts more credence but all you see is negative, and want to see every thing torn down. Thinking we will find allstars hiding on the bench and coming in with air lifts. Dave ritchie didnt turn the team around in one year. With Collaros injury, they wont part with him or masoli. But then masoli has had 1 good game. Collaros best year wasnt as good as willys. And that with more around him. Mtl wont move glenn or cato they have less trust then any team in their qbing. Drew tate only broke 1k passing once. 5 years ago. And that took 13 games. That leaves bc with jennings and lulay. They wont move jennings duh. hes their starter. He hasnt been steady this year either even in only 2 games and pre season. So that leaves lulay. Who you'd pay like willy and pray he can recapture the lightning of 4 years ago. With great pieces around him. AND hope he could stay healthy. Better chance buck pierce starts and stays healthy. So you dont go for any of that and you put in nichols. Last year he averaged 195 yards and 1 td per game.(career 91/.8td) Which out side of the 4th is about what we've gotten out of willy. So instead of drawing close at the end, we'd just be in blow outs. He doesnt have any of the skills that would cover up our current flaws on offense. He doesnt have a fast release. he isnt a more accurate passer, he cant improvise and make the offense work on the run. Not only that hes far more turn over prone then willy. In a lot less game action having not been the legit no1 qb of a team (at best the injury place holder) hes thrown the same number of pics as willy. Change for the sake of change doesnt solve problems and it doesnt win games. Consistency does. We replaced half the roster over the off season. Winning takes time.

Not personally he hasnt. Hes been a part of a bad production over all at OL. But when weve had holes to run through its usually him pancaking some one and hitting the 2nd level. He hasnt been getting beat badily 1v1. Weve seen over load blitzes from his side but he cant be expected to block 2 guys. need to get over that. Harris wasnt coming here. No one in the league would have cut willy and gone for harris, and harris was gone in no time after the FA period opened. Willy in 14/15 with terrible offenses around him was good. He has and continues to show flashes. You must not remember what its like to have a legit bad qb whom you could replace with any one and get the same level of play. Walters has done a terrible job? Are you forgetting the mess and lack of NI's that mack left? Have you looked at how many draft picks this year are on the team? More value there then every player mack + taman every picked. The team is flat, plays with no heart and is significantly less then the sum of its pieces. It doesnt play with discipline despite being flat. The D was done on the 1st drive of the 2nd have. At this rate the team will need a shake up on the roster and in coaching. But if you think we are gonna plug in some one we have or can get mid season and fix things or out perform willy your going to be sadly mistaken.

return game is solid too. And that 4th quarter...

Thats pretty much it. Weve had plenty of bad qbs before. And when it comes to garbage time they get little done. Idk how any one can think willy was gonna get pulled. 0 chance of that. Especially this early. Mos doesnt pull vets easily. They get tons of lee way. And there is no reason to think any one on the bench is gonna come in and make the O work in the first 3 quarters. If mos makes that call, and it doesnt work (its a hail marry at very best) his time as a HC is done. The season is lost. The team will lose confidence him mos and willy and we'll be in for another long long season. We have a better chance of winning changing HCs then qbs.

ritchie turned it around after his first season. The 99 team played with a lot of fire at the end of the season. This team reminds me a lot of the 2k bomber team. The big difference is that team had ritchie, and he had them play their hearts out. We dont have that now. This team has no heart, no fight.

Actually 358 yards. Not nearly 300. Its sickening.

I dont think any DC is gonna make a massive difference with how long our D is left on the field. But It would certainly be a step in the right direction. Id much rather see him replace mos then plop.

How do i figure? We have maybe the best OT in the cfl, 2 former 1k wrs with young guys shining brighter. We have one of the best rbs in the league. One of the best young Olmen in chung too. We have lots of guys who have been highly productive cflers. Neufield, for instance and hardick has been better. When willy isnt pressured like mad he tosses the ball around well. Weve had terrible qbs before guys who couldnt beat the prevent. Plenty of em. We have 2 proven high quality vets at each dt spot and one of the best rush ends. We have proven Lbers and proven dbs. The team is playing drastically under the sum of its pieces. What int ol do you think we are gonna get?

with the dung comes the flies. feels bad man. Talent wise i feel like we arent far off at all.

who got put in in their place?

I imagine so, and hope soo. If in 3 weeks we arent getting it done that might change though. Im hope full tomorrow though.

this offense is allready very different then last year. I think lapo has a good bit to say in what we do and how we do it.

durant has 4 more completions then ray has attempts and the argos are rollin to a win. He sure isnt the ricky ray of old. But in the cfl you can never write off an old qb. Danny mac, damon allen, hank etc did too well in their last hand full of years.

thats interesting. and oddly specific coaches dont usually out stuff like that. Id expect calgary is thinking to same of willy though. He hasnt been a guy to look off a wr and was pretty dead red on his primary read last week.

yep he missed him and chances are strong that would have been a td. not 100% but pretty strong. That corner route went right between the hands of smith. Thats a drop. That and mcduffie deep over the middle, probably a score not as strong as smith but with his speed pretty good chance. The 2 to smith could have been thrown better and made it easier to catch for certain. Those are drops but not 100% on smith. And the one to mcduffie is not 100% his fault. Thats a ball he should have, but that wasnt a the quality of throw that should be expected of willy or any qb earning that money in the cfl.

maybe your right and its this era in the cfl. The nhl first for sure. But the nfl and mlb for certain still release the specifics. Could be that the low/upper body injury and day to day till other wise is the future. But before this group running the bombers it wasnt like that. personally it doesnt bother me if they go upper/lower or if day to day is week to week. So long as it isnt out of the blue that persons gone for half the season. Course the path to recovery isnt allways clear, some times decisions have to be made second opinions gotten etc. That type of thing is understandable.

the result isnt evident in the score. Especially in last weeks case. Was it willy who couldnt get any push on short yardage? Or dropping passes? Or getting no pass rush? Or getting beat in coverage constantly?

This seems to be the way this administration deals with injury business. Every one is day to day and probable with an upper / lower body injury till they have surgery and are out long term.

one pass in the end zone through the hands and one over the middle that may go for a score. That wouldnt make up a 50 point score. Lol your cherry picking willy. Thats mtl, this is calgary. If you think the exact same effort and better play by willy alone gets us a win your in for a rude awakening.

really? cus the als should have had close to 50 points. Our D got lucky and not every game will randle save multiple touchdowns single handed. Bruce johnson had the worst game of any one in blue in week 1.

I wanna say when MTL was perennial contenders for the grey cup they had a ridiculously high rate of scoring on the first drive. Its a big haul mark of successful offenses since they can script that drive soo much before the game. I could see us having a blink esq record when harris gets 100 yards rushing. Getting scores from places other then the O is a game changer. When you do that, like winning the turn over battle, you should expect to win.

Whats your top 3 things the bombers need to do to beat calgary? (aside from score more points ) Mine: 1) Win the time of possession battle. Early and often touches for Harris. Coverting on 2nd down, and stringing together firsts downs. 2) Willy on his feet. No smacking around of our willy. A strong pocket, Willy to be confident and composed in the pocket. Having pressure release and using them. But not limiting the offense to dump passes short of the first down. 3) Aggression. Blitz, swarm and hit on D. Get pressure in the back field, Play aggressive cover and not just give up easy passes for first downs. Take shots down field. Pound the D with harris.
