Indeed... It was all about their lines, and the defense in particular. Ricky Ray was probably the last QB of note in that organization...

Also 5 straight cups and 2 wins at the beginning of that run. People forget about the wins because it's convenient. Absolutely there are questions about why we can't finish the past few years and The Trinity will dive into that as a unit, for sure. I look forward to seeing what they come up with for next summer!

That is true... Good point. And for the record, I was quite vocal about a perceived misuse of the DL. They were absolutely married to a Nat DT for some reason, so that was never going to change whether it was Jake or Cam. 100%... And even those of us who are taking a "let's all chill..." Approach right now, were very vocal about this weird use of Nats during the season....

I blame a Cam Lawson injury for that more than blaming coaches tho...

Nobody said it. Anywhere.

More than a little at this point. Changes will happen, for sure. Remains to be seen whether they work or not.

Some great quotes in Friesens latest piece from Jefferson and Bryant who both want to say. Virtually everyone says that winning the cup at home has always been the goal and they want to be here for it. Said it's a huge incentive.

... aaaaaaand heeeeere weeeeeee GOOOO.....

He can do whatever he wants to do... Stay or go.... Ehhhhh.

In a best of 7, the Jets get maybe 2 games against those guys. They're close... But they're not ready for the best of the best just yet. Hoping they keep getting better as the season goes on. The key is knowing you can't take a break all night. Full 60 every single game.

There are some bottom lips dragging on the ground and a bit of petulant feet stomping. Feels like some are going to be hauled out of here surfboard style in the middle of a tantrum and head home for nap time...

Basically acted like some of the whiny spoiled posters on here... That's all it amounted to.

A little bit whiny for my taste.... But was glad to see him say, toward the end, it's not my place to say anything. I'm just one piece of the pie.

Oh Bob.... Bless him for posting this....

VAJ is poor man's Burris. He seems like a whiner with an ego who puts himself first. Honestly I'd rather have Trevor Harris and that is REALLY saying something.... Cause I don't want him either. Maybe that Alexander kid from Montreal.... And obviously Brown would be my first choice.

Just for official reference....

People have lost their ******* minds. I knew it would be bad with 3 Cup losses in a row, but seriously wanting to trade Zach for VAJ is over the edge. People need to step back for awhile and come back in a more rational state...

Are we so far gone that VAJ seems like a viable option?? C'mon fellas it's not THAT bad.....

He's signed through next year and with another 1k season under his belt I'm not sure he's in a hurry to renegotiate. But who knows what the core would be willing to do in order to build the best team possible for a home town Cup.

There's not gonna be drastic change when we're hosting the GC. Or at least not the suggested "be okay with a down year" to rebuild. Not gonna happen. I think they did a partial rebuild in season, but I really think the best advice is what JBR said: Have Zach tell you exactly who and what he wants to surround himself with, and then go buy it. Take whatever penalties you need to, to put the most talent on the field. And while I'm not going to whine and stomp and cry about veta getting tossed, I do agree that Thomas and Bighill (among others) need to be, as respectfully as possible, moved into the next phase of their lives. I am ******* DEPRESSED today... And I'm gonna need some time away from football breaking my heart again....but come spring, I'll be ready to fly. I'm excited for full season tickets next year and hopefully being in town for both a WF and GC. No matter what, Let's ****** Go, Blue.... #FortHew #DefendTheFort

Jeff Hamilton piece from last week had details about an expletive laced tirade that MOS went on to the entire room following a loss earlier in the year. He's very much in charge, but also believes the vets can handle the room for the most part.

And if so, we lose again.

I said all week to anyone who listened that Toronto was going to win this, because they always do. This was never in doubt. I still have full faith in The Trinity to turn this around with a fresh roster and spend every penny on a championship roster for a home GC. Bring on 2025 season!
