Dave Dickenson coach = very good, Dave Dickenson GM = not so good.

Drives me nuts that they dropped the added and removed section.

Not really, Bombers really try and take away the deep shot regardless. There's more room for the quick stuff underneath IMO. Which Harris is always happy to take. You're really relying on Jones to get his hands on passes as he did a couple times late in the game.

Got mine **** you

On the other hand when Randolph went to LT it disrupted the interior so maybe it's an improvement.

Basically Daryl Katz bent the edmonton city council over a barrel to get his arena built and Edward's expected the same from calgary. Smith and the UCP gave it to him by strong arming city council.

Pay. That's a good one! He is the epitome of "oh I didn't get rich by writing a lot of cheques" The arena deal is absolutely horrendous for calgary but Danielle Smith needed an election carrot to dangle. The previous deal was much better but the flames turfed it so they didn't have to pay for cost over runs.

So what? They don't NEED it. But they forced it and kept more impactful imports on the sidelines to fit it.

They drafted Bennett specifically to try and replace Kongo and trotted him out for useless rep after useless rep. Thomas has one foot in the grave and is trotted out. Hubert I like but as a rookie he got too many reps too because reasons. There were a million ways to make the ratio work on D and they chose the worst way IMO.

The 3 man front was ineffective against the Riders, would be stupid to try it again. Adams just adds a dimension that no one else can to that group.

Really all Miller did was this:

They became too married to the idea of a Canadian on the DL. It wasn't a necessity and they haven't got the heart to wind Thomas down.

TL/DR

Tl/Dr Jake Thomas sucks, adams and woods = good together.

Well we know the province won't give them any money.

That's what I'm saying! Streveler is being punished for the sins of Dakota Prukop.

If he's too hurt to pass the ball why still use him as a human pinata by running him into the teeth of a defens3 constantly? Put him on the IR if he is too hurt or let him play the position. 2 years ago prukop got more use passing than streveler does.

They didn't let Brown pass unless Collaros went out last year too. This isn't a case of them thinking streveler can't pass, it's a case again of not letting the backup qb be a valuable piece. Ever since Prukop threw an int in the grey cup vs. Toronto they haven't let anyone but collaros throw unless he was unavailable.

You can have multiple issues in a game you know. The offense was not fine. It may not have been a total tire fire... but the expectation for that group is much higher than "they need the D to carry them"

We talking about the same Vernon Adams? Dude is not an elite quarter back. Reality is there aren't any elite qbs anymore with collaros and BLM getting old AF. Just a bunch of guys you hope are more good than bad any given week.

No it wasn't.

Re-watched the game and it's really something... they really did streveler no favours with the play calls. It's all short passes or runs and so many times Oliveira was stopped short. Let the man play the position for God's sake. Will save a lotnof wear and tear on both he and the running back.

Passing yards go brrrrrrrr! Dude's offense has failed how many times in the playoffs? Come on dude, you're smarter than that.

Be shocked if collaros didn't play. Just win. West is too tight to take a step back now. Time to start putting some of these teams firmly in the rear view.
