There is, but i love going to games.

I've known you for 25 years and that's the first I'm hearing of this......

When Lapo posted all that stuff, breaking down the Bombers' D last season, that is not how Hall ran his D.
Harris was also used a lot as a receiver, especially when Nichols was under centre.

Check down RB or receiver - 6 of one, half a dozen of the other 
Anyway, here are their numbers for passing and running attempts.  (Wikipedia)
Harris (2016-2021): 1194 / 5 = 239 / season
Oliviera (2021 - 2024): 922 / 4 = 231 / season
Their busiest seasons are actually quite similar. 
Harris:
2017: 294
2019: 295
Oliviera:
2023: 298
2024: 296
 

D like Samberg are the bedrock of good teams.

Someone needs to answer publicly for that, I think there needs to be an explanation given as to why we sunk 160k (lots upfront) into a receiver that we aren’t even considering using

Agreed.  5.75 seems right for a shutdown 2nd pairing d man. 
 
solid deal. Shouldn’t be a problem in the future either as wife opened up a dental clinic in the peg. 
 
When the cap is 100 million in a few years (maybe) (they are projecting but economy and stuff ) 5.75 and 7.25 is gonna be normal. Lowry prob won’t get much of a raise tho. Connor will.

No, the D has changed. Richie Hall's D relied a lot more on pressure. Younger's is more coverage based.
The change is not as recent, but the O no longer runs primarily through the RB, both passing and running, the way it did when Andrew Harris was starting. 

It can't be as clear cut as this either. Man, this is a very cynical take.

I don’t hate the plan to ground and pound with Brady, Cooley and Strev

Suitor always brought up how both lines would beat up the opposition and by the 4th quarter we wore them down and would be able to run it down their throats.
He still brings this up yet this is no longer true.
 

You know it wasn't. 2019 and 2021, this was a damn hard team to play against. They physically beat other teams up.

First, I'm not shitting on you.
Some fans pay more attention to the team, that's just how it is. 
But one thing is certain: if performances like those we saw this past Saturday keep happening, the casual fans will vote with their feet. It has happened before, it will happen again.
I remember attending a game at the end of 2014. Attendance was poor, and everyone but the die hards was there for the beer. The game consisted of watching Henry Burris and Co. shred our secondary.
There have been some major warning signs. I mean, losing a Grey Cup to Nick Arbuckle - that's quite glaring if you stop to think about it. 

Speaking as a long term hard core fan, this is true. It's easier on the psyche to expect less during downward trends. Of course you also get occasional surprises, like 2019 and 2007.

I think most casual and semi casual fans would rather their team be bad than mediocre. In the nba the teams in the worst spot, are the ones in the middle of the none play off pack. Most people perceive the come back from bad, to be easier and shorter than from mediocre. 
 IMO, in football, if you don’t have the franchise qb, you’re in the same boat as the rest who don’t. And you don’t need a tank or tear down year to turn it around. Calgary this year and Toronto proved that. 
 I don’t think posters on here want us to lose, I do think a lot of people have low expectations. Until we make better decisions, mine are low.
