Walters brings in the talent but it's ultimately O'Shea and his staff that decide the roster's makeup. NOT stepping on each other's toes and being respect of each person's roles and accountabilities (ie. letting them do their job) is what has made Miller, Walters and O'Shea as successful as they are. A little of column A and a little of column B I think .. I DO think this was a 'lazy' year for Walters. I wasn't happy with our draft but when you consider how many top end talents stayed down south, it's not surprising it was a bit weak.

Made this comment (about Deng) shortly after he was signed. I was wrong .. thought he'd at least last until the end of the year.

When the team has been as inconsistent as they have been all year why would anyone want to see them play any more than necessary in the playoffs? Win ONE game, at home, and you're playing for a Grey Cup. That's the route we need to take.

1. Brady. I don’t think enough can be said about how important he is to this team. 2. Schoen. 6 receptions for 101 yards. It’s not the flashiest stat line but his work last night helped breathe life into a lack lustre passing attack. Making tough catches to extend drives. Physical. Resilient. 3. Sergio. Accounted for most of our points last night and without him, we don’t win this game. Plain and simple. HH - Parker. Came in after Houston went down and struggled a bit early. Settled in, found his footing and provided solid coverage on the corner. This may be something of a controversial take but Toronto putting in their third string QB with a regular season game still in the balance was a sign of disrespect - they don’t respect our defence, our players and are incredibly (overly?) confident in their team. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take the win but if I was wearing Blue and Gold that wouldn’t sit well with me.

These things we’re seeing with Zach aren’t new .. they go back to last year’s playoffs. He’s got happy feet. He’s unsettled in the pocket and I don’t think he’s confident in his protection. He’s also forcing throws .. it’s putting us behind the chains (or simply turning it over).

Only problem is that we have, historically, played down to the level of our opponents. I hope we come out and absolutely kick the **** out of the Argos but I will not be surprised if it's far closer than what it should be.

All year.

Given the way we've used our PR and recent additions .. he'll never see the active roster and be released at the end of the year.

We lost three games we had no business losing so, unfortunately, every game we play until the end of the year is a "big one". Not saying we have to win out but dropping any of our remaining games doesn't make me feel good about securing a direct trip to the West Final.

It's not like he got much of a chance to see the field while he was here. Spot duty due to injuries - acquitted himself nicely - sent back to the bench. Maybe he's looking at playing with his brother in Edmonton?

That’s my bad .. for whatever reason I thought he was American.

Eli is simply a more physical player and is a NI to boot. Starting him just gives you more freedom to dress playmakers in positions of need.

With NO HOPE of being in the game.

This. Our best is better than ANY other team’s best in this league and there’s no reason we should be this inconsistent. We won’t play lights out every week but showing up looking ready to go? That’s a really low bar and we’ve failed to meet that a number of games this season.

It’s because he’s been really bad at times .. like standing around with a dump in his shorts bad at times.

He reminds me a little of Robert Bean .. relies a little too much on his athleticism and is sometimes burned by it.

He’s been saving himself for the final three minutes of the game.

Zach is forcing things.

Should have been a delay of game for chucking the ball downfield.

Great ******* play 31.

Holm .. best tackler on D today 😂

This is Labour Day redux.

Ran right over Bighill .. had him dead to rights in the hole and couldn’t make the stop.

We are seeing what a defence without Jackson Jeffcoat looks like. We are light up front but that’s only magnified when you don’t have a bookend like 94 out there.

Guys .. going to ask this once: keep the comments on the game and not each other. Emotions are all over the place in a typical game day thread and it’s only amplified when the team doesn’t perform as expected - be mindful of that. With that said, Go Bombers and bring on a (better) second half.
