Very even game, IMO. Elliott and Helle both played well. The place went bananas on Scheifele's game-tying goal, and it was a beauty of a shot. Great game!

Plenty of time until free agency. They can only make so many signings before the year turns over because these signings still count against the 2017 cap, IIRC.

Best 4th line in Jets 2.0 history?

Well yes, you can't make it to the Grey Cup without winning a playoff game, that is obvious.

Sure they need to add pieces. Every year is a different team. But the bottom line is that in the CFL, if you make the playoffs you're a Grey Cup contender. You just need to get hot at the right time.

So in your eyes a team is not a contender until they have won the Grey Cup? Or were you looking at the 8-10 Stamps and 8-9-1 Redblacks and saying "Oh yeah, they're contenders for sure." In a pig's eye, indeed.

Tough to understand where this comes from when our OC, DC, and STC have all been replaced under O'Shea.

I think you overestimate what it takes to be a GC challenger. We've seen sub-.500 teams win the Grey Cup. To suggest a 12-6 team is not a challenger is simply asinine.

Sorry @FrostyWinnipeg that was uncalled for. I hope it has not soured your experience here.

Ellsworth served his purpose. Good on him for accomplishing far more than anyone could have ever imagined. But yeah it was time for him to go. However if he doesn't make a surprise appearance some time in the future (Royal Rumble entrant?), I'll be pretty shocked. I don't think we've seen the last of him.

Oh don't get me wrong, I thought Helle was pretty good last year, especially considering the tough spot he was put in. I just think he is playing excellent this year.

Not surprised by either one. Great to see. As long as Neuf is still being viewed as a depth/6th OL type of guy.

It's a little of both. Helle's game has improved a lot. The defensive game of the team overall has improved a little, but not as drastically as Helle's game. IMO.

@SPuDS Are you sure you couldn't find a few more people to reply to?

Felix Menard-Briere didn't attempt a single field goal this season for the Carabins, he was just their punter.

Who's planning the parade? Just because no one is getting on board with your lame "Maurice loss-record watch" and bogus comments about Morrissey never playing a good game yet this season? Go cry on Twitter, you'll find plenty of like-minded people there.

Jordy Stallard, 5th round pick in 2016. Brandon kid. Great to see.

Hey I've had hangovers last longer than that. And my beer league team is always extra shitty on Sunday night games due to a weekend of partying...

4 points back of first place with 2 games in hand, too.

Sadly I still think Trouba's days as a Jet are numbered. I doubt he's in the long term plans.

That's nothing compared to Hull and he's already in.

Punting average? Really? That's your go-to stat for judging a punter? Hahaha ok checkmate, I guess.....

Ahh what a fresh take.

17to85 said the team would be better with Khari calling the plays than Lapo and in the 15 years since then, he's been too stubborn to change his opinion regardless of what has happened in that time. Don't bother with numbers, it's futile.

I'd be surprised if even 10 of those names made it to free agency without being re-signed. Definitely some big names on the list though.
