I just realized that even though Ottawa lost.. Ottawa wins 2 against Hamilton they are at 6 wins. Hamilton wins any and they're at 6. Barring ties sask has to win

Ottawa needs a quarterback. Masoli likely wins this game

Ham and Ottawa would both have 5 wins after tonight and play each other twice which guarantees a 6 win. Technically sask could tie a game against Calgary if one of Ham or Ottawa swept

Ottawa and Hamilton play each other the last 2 games of the season which means one would get to at least 12 points.

Ottawa winning this means Sask must beat Calgary at least once to make playoffs

These are 2022 regular season awards right? Not first half of 2022 season awards. Also not 2022 and half of 2021 awards. Or maybe like 2023 potential + 2022 awards. Pretty sure the lines for these awards are drawn

Of course MBT can feel ghosts

And we have two rookies in the lineup in Parker and Holm who are just getting better. Darby and Houston on standby...

Pretty sure Rose tripped on the receiver's feet on that play. He may not have made the play but it would have been close IMO It's true Corny was really bad last night. Everytime we got pressure he missed his receivers by miles. Some of the better QBs will make those throws.

Won the GC in his first year as OC 😁 Every year as OC he has won the GC

Yeah 😐

This is somewhat of a strawman argument as you were originally claiming we should be tossing away a 1st round draft pick for a top DE. Nobody goes into drafts with the mentality that they're going to draft the best players in the 2-4th rounds. Why don't we just pass when our turn comes up in the first round? But here is the actual success of our 1st round draft picks in recent history (dating back to Ekakite who you referenced): 2017 we had 2 first round selections, 1 was Ekakite (fail) but the other was Geoff Gray. We drafted Drew Dejarlais and Jonathan Kongbo in 2019 in the 1st round. Reason we didn't have a 1st rounder in 2018 was because of the trade to get BCs first round pick in 2019. 2020 we didn't have a first round pick because we won the Grey Cup with Zach Collaros . 2021 we drafted Liam Dobson 2022 we traded our 1st rounder to move into the 2nd round and acquire Cameron Lawson With all of the trades where we got rid of our 1st rounder it was to get more Canadians or Zach Collaros. Dejarlais and Kongbo might be gone but they helped us win a cup and we would still have a pretty good chance to sign them if they came back to the CFL. Nothing above involved an American player.

Have we been trading first round picks for American players not named Zach Collaros? Note I said high value Canadians. That doesn't usually mean 2nd of 3rd round picks

Definitely some guaranteed money there.

Agreed. We are not in the business of trading high value Canadians for Americans. The only exception is a top QB (1st for Collaros)

Money. He left for more money. Because it's close to the end of the season and we've six gamed an army of players we can afford him for the rest of the season

Getting a guy that can play any position in the secondary and SAM and did it really well last year > a DE that hasn't done much for us (Potential could be there but...)

Awesome trade. Wilcots would have likely been on the PR with Adams and Hansen in the lineup

I think it's more "if he could only stay healthy" and "if he only had a quarterback" . I honestly think he's what stirs the drink for any kind of offense in Regina

Montreal is probably better at this point and might be healthier going into the playoffs

I could see Younger getting some looks at DC or even outside chance as HC. I just have a feeling he's that next players coach.

Nice

Suitor is playing the contrarian card a lot this game and has more horrible takes than usual.

I agree to an extent because I think more than anything their defense has been garbage. Any time their offense has done anything their defense gets torched. But I dont think it's mental gymnastics to suggest Masoli would have won them more games. He is their starting QB and the entire team played harder with him in the lineup. They lost to us twice, BC once. All in close games. Then he got hurt. A couple more wins probably wasn't going to save Lapo tho

So... Clements, Hallett, Hansen, Jeffcoat, Taylor, Wolitarsky Can anyone give a reason that any of them would be on the one-game if they didn't have a chance of coming back this year? Namely Taylor, Hallett, Hansen looked like the worst injuries.
