We get rid of Wheatfall & Stearns but we don't sign two players to replace them. That sure seems to be the way the team conducts its free agency. Even keeping one of those 2 around would have made a difference. Or spending the money on another starting receiver that was available in free agency but instead we chose not to. All I know is we have a starting boundary receiver with 26 receptions for 385 career yards & just 2 TDs receiving before this season started . When I see those Wheatfall & Stearns playing very well elsewhere all it tells me that in the coaches meetings last season, we had Hogan telling O'Shea & everyone else in that room that it wasn't subpar coaching that made them play at such a craptacular level. It was the players fault.

He had close to 400 yards passing. To me, I'd say that was pretty great.

With Zach he'll have input into the offense which may change things in the Red Zone. Condell hasn't had a guy like Zach to work with in years. Certainly not in Ottawa or Hamilton once Zach left. He had Dru Brown in Ottawa who couldn't stay healthy. Condell would have had Bo Levi Mitchell in 2023 but he had that disastrous injury plagued season so they wouldn't have worked together for that long. This is probably Condell's best chance to show his chops as an OC with Collaros.

There has to be a receiver on someone's PR we can bring in to compete with Cobb. Why do we do **** like this??? I mean, they let Dobson walk to Hamilton where he became their starting Center. Osh keeps Kolo until this off season. He signs with the Cats & isn't on the field. Makes no sense to me at all what we were tryin g to do. just tells me how much better we could be if we played the best players within the ratio. That, in itself is damned frustrating. How good could we actually be?

I mean... C'mon iHeart, Shallit was 100 years old. I'd say by then that most people are getting ready to meet The Saint. BTW, my mother In law just turned 95 years of age 2 weeks ago. She might reach 100.

My wife loves the Focker movie series so we'll be going to see this in November. (Psst, I like it too).

No one can say Collaros played badly. He played great. Our passing game was humming. Nield & Tim White are going to a thousand yard receiver for us. So will Demski if he stays healthy. Wilson is our deep threat. If we can improve our boundary receiver & bench Cobb we'll be tough to stop. Zach made one mistake all night trying to get a touchdown in FG range. He could probably throw that pass a dozen times & Kasatonis has no play on it. He was in the right spot at the right time. It looks like Collaros is having fun again. Just shows you what a stupid decision it was to promote Hogan then keep him as an OC last season.

Cobb is just a waste of time, space & money. He should only be on the field playing on specials. Not starting. At this rate he'll start all 18 games & won't get 30 catches for 300 yards receiving. The Osh effect: Why have 6 receivers starting when 5 won't do? Gotta get that extra 2nd round draft pick.

He could have got paid here. Walters cheaped out. The Bombers gave up on Wheatfall. Fumbles happen all the time. That old decaying vet is now sitting on the bench as Dobson's backup in Hamilton. We give up on Wheatfall yet we let that garbage bag of a Center start & collect a salary for 4 seasons.

When there's no pressure on Mitchell & he can sign a ball every time he throws means the secondary gets lit up. And they did.

Yep. That's the way the ball bounces.

I agree our D was shockingly bad. Letting Kieric Wheatfall go?? That looks like a stupid move now. Liam Dobson playing Center in Hamilton yet we let him walk as well. Some of the personnel decisions Walters & Osh made are real head scratchers. No, you're right. The offense was on point passing wise. Running wise, the OL has to open the holes for Oliveira & they couldn't. The defense?? We think our secondry is our strong point but to me they look weak. Our DL is better than last year but still no pressure on Mitchell. So, I don't know what the coaches are going to do to change things up next week. . In his defense, who designed the offense & called the plays?

Our defense did not play well. Coukldn't stop the run. Mitchell stood straight up all game with little or no pressure. To me, that was a huge reason we lost. Mitchell has a quick release but our secondary looked like swiss cheese all night. We needed to rough him up & we didn't. Secondary looked confused all night.

The fans deserve better??? They lost by 10 points. They weren't blown out. Collaros put up nearly 400 yards passing. And we deserve more? Our defense needs a lot of work. You're just a spoiled fan.

I was a brand new head coach of my oldest son's pee wee team in 1998. My youngest Tyler was only 8 at the time & not playing any sports yet. We played another team in our league & beat them 108-0 in an exhibition game before the season. Even our worst players were scoring touchdowns on them. I was quite troubled during & after the game as some of my coaches saw blood. I didn't have the coaching experience or confidence to tell these guys to cool it like I should have. And would have done years later. I lost control of the bench. I phoned that team's head coach that night & apologized profusely. I vowed I'd never let that happen again & it never did. Luckily, the other head coach knew I was sincere & never made a formal complaint. That's what happens when the egos of adults mess with kids sport. If that would have been a league game, I'd have been up schitt creek with the Pee Wee League. I learned a valuable lesson that day.

Skeeters will be out in a week or so once it warms up. We got 5 inches of rain here in Calgary over a 3 day period 2 weekends ago. Stavely, AB got 10 inches of rain, though.

The guy was obviously qualified (although not authorized) to fly as a Captain. He never crashed a plane during his career & was trained on 3 different Boeing aircraft. He may have circumvented but he appears to have had a spotless 17 year career. Judging by the number of grim looking officials at that news conference, it looks like they're planning on nailing him to the wall with a long jail sentence trying to make an example of him which to me is a waste of time. I don't condone what he did but I think based on his safety record a large financial penalty in the area of $150,000 is the way to punish him. After all, he earned over $3 million in his career so I think that is appropriate. Not jail time. What I'd like to know is why he did what he did. He obviously had the skills to fly & be a Captain. So, why did he fake it?

Hopefully the game sells out even if it rains. Looking forward to watching in my living room warm & dry in Calgary.

That's when it's time to turn off your phone.

Wanna-B-FanboyMembers1 hour ago Hey @Ja Apeman 72, who is Wanna Be Fan boy? 😁

Rich, I was looking for my picks. I can't remember if I made them. Since i can't see the choices, I assume that I already did.

I'm going to pick Tommy Stevens.

I'll be at the Alumni table before the game. Looking forward to it.
