Rourke is good, for sure...nobody in their right mind is questioning that. But the last time everyone was losing their **** about how good he is, we went and made him look pretty average. So let's just pump the breaks on calling him Doug Flutie 2.0 awhile. Calgary isn't a fantastic team, by any means, but they should provide the second best test for him, after us. Curious to see how these Leo/Stamps games go.....

especially at home...

100% true......and add to this that whoever is the starting QB in The Gap is automatically anointed saviour/Messiah....

the fact that all of this is just coming out now feels like The Emperor's New Clothes......the fog is lifting and all of a sudden it's "Hey wait a minute.......this guy's actually terrible!" Well, no ******* kidding...... career third stringer who can't hit a target past 10 yards? The hell you say.......

this is the only record that matters.

So I think, just for clarity sake, what we're talking about in this thread is The Trinity wanting to bring in good people. It became public that they were watching how guys behaved around women at the office, how they treated support staff, and things like that. So along the way, before we won in 2019, there came a narrative on this board that we had too many choir boys (good choice of words, MG) and Osh needed to focus less on finding those nice guys, and allow a few more assholes. Now we can still debate this point, but as far as I'm concerned, we've brought in a lot of guys that are really genuinely nice people but also very good football players. We don't have guys that are necessarily assholes on or off the field. They play hard nosed between the whistles but rarely (if ever??) after. I'd consider Osh's plan a success....

25-2.....so 27 games. Extraordinary.

No team makes better half time adjustments than us. If we're in the game at the half, I'm very confident we're gonna win.

disregard earlier note from Liu.......

You think Willie and Hardrick are assholes? Maybe WJ5 used to be a certain personality, but by all accounts that changed when he came to Winnipeg. I'm not saying everyone on WBBFC goes to church together 7 days a week, but from everything I've read, this is a bunch of family types who keep their noses clean.

And also some notable posters here....

It was said around here.... As recently as 2019....... That Osh was hurting the team by only choosing "nice guys", and that we needed a certain number of assholes to be successful.................

They're really hyping up Rourke, and I get it, but this is more about how bad Edmonton is and less about how good BC is....

Edm has looked not shitty at times this season, but for some reason they just don't match up well against BC. Rourke owns them.

That is not a fan...... Can you even imagine?

Nope. MOP: Collaros MODP: Biggie (by a mile) MOC: Thomas or Legghio MOR: Schoen (tho Rutledge deserves consideration) MOOL: Bryant MOST: Legghio

Slow clap....

Think Cgy gonna handle this one without much issue, but here's hoping Lapo and Evans can find a way...

Going to be a bit of a gong show on the field with "offensive play calling done by committee" and "Hufnagel on the sidelines in a support capacity".... Yet I still can't see Caleb Evans and Lapo beating BLM and the rest of their circus...

For argument: Was it Woogie's best game of the year, or just the game he was targeted the most, and therefore ended up with more noticeable plays/stats? I feel like, game in and game out, he's very consistent, but is used so often as a decoy and a blocker. Tonight his number was called more often and he rewarded Buck/ZC8 for it. Also, I don't like this idea that it's a surprise Leggs is having a great year. He was an inconsistent rookie last year, sure, but he kicked like 93% in college and holds CIS records. I'm not the least bit surprised he's back to normal....

They'll be fine. Just a slow start...
