This is basically ballgame here. We need a scoring drive.

I know this seems like a wild concept but sometimes the other team comes to play too

Lmao Sheahan has been an incredible punter so far. There are some wild takes flying around.

I mean let’s relax with the age stuff on guys who are having one bad game. Our OL looked absolutely dialed in for the first two weeks.

O’Shea literally coaching like he’s playing Madden and can just pause and set the difficulty to easy whenever he wants

This is exactly the **** I’m talking about with regards to the piss poor coaching. Get some clarification about that being a catch or not, if it’s ruled a catch then challenge it.

Good thing we dressed two extras so we can use them. Right? ………. right?????

You can clutch and grab, the guy released JT before it was a hold without question

do we have a stationary tackling dummy we’ve had in the equipment room for more than three years so it can be a designated American and replace Ricky Walker

VA literally never looked off McInnis and Alexander is MIA

Not even close

Who would’ve thought rostering guys who aren’t 1000 years old would help

Then again, so does Alexander. And Darby. And Ricky Walker is just useless.

I know Noeller is gonna jump in and tell me I’m wrong because intangibles but holy **** does Bighill look absolutely finished

Our D is not great but I’m not a believer that Collaros is going to stink all game. Especially with Brady rolling. let’s go second half here we go

No, you are not.

Realistically, this is what we’re gonna be this year. When our O looks good, we’ll be fine. When they don’t, we’re going to need big plays in other areas because our D is too old and slow. Half of our regular defenders look absolutely cooked.

Old defensive players looking old, go figure. Coaching questionable, go figure. Alexander about to be on milk cartons

And the talk that Chad Kelly isn't known is wild. The guy was on Pardon My Take somehow. I don't know why, but he's got a following in the US. I can't say I understand why he's so popular, but he's got that Manziel-ish following to him. Everyone loves a trainwreck, I guess.

FWIW I never claimed the league's plan is a good plan. But it's very obvious that it's their plan.

It's not a contrarian point of view, it's just reality. It's not even about Toronto, although that is one angle (not one I really care about though) The reality of the situation is this. Nobody in the CFL HQ gives a flying **** what you think. Or what I think. We're watching either way. Saskatchewan is watching either way. Edmonton is watching either way. Hamilton is watching either way. Ottawa is watching either way. There are some struggling markets, but more importantly ... those fanbases are already installed. They're trying to grow the game "globally" (really just make inroads into the US and become that secondary option for those viewers) and the best ways to do that are to have a recognizable face and to have a competitive league. Without Kelly, they have neither. This version of the CFL leadership couldn't make a star out of Milt Stegall, hell they probably wouldn't even know what to do with a Patrick Mahomes or a Josh Allen. They need a name brand they didn't create. Chad Kelly (love him or hate him) is that, even though he doesn't deserve it. The other thing is, they desperately need a QB who can compete because if not, it really looks like the league is going to have to bank on Vernon Adams or Matthew Shiltz to be that guy this year otherwise Winnipeg is probably just going to run roughshod over the entire league. That's not fun for new viewers either. so yeah, call me "that guy" if you want but the reality is, their goal isn't to make us feel special. They don't care about us. They care about growth and he's their best shot at it right now.

He's not wrong. You don't have to like it, hell I don't like it .. but he's right.

Starting to feel like almost a degree of overconfidence that they can just scout a street free agent and plug them in without any time in town.

I *think* they can activate McCrae if Brady can’t go .. seems kinda gamesmanship-ish to not just list him though. They made game day changes week 1 and didn’t have a 44 man roster. Honestly not quite sure how this all works.
