Captain Blue

Etch needs to go. I think you've made your opinion clear. I have a different one.

I'd actually bring them all back. Think the offensive issues had more to do with personnel (weak OL, sticking with Grigsby for the season, and terrible WRs) than scheme. Give me a healthy Drew Willy, Paris Cotton in the backfield and American WRs not named Aaron Kelly and Romby Bryant before I can Bellefeuille. As for Etch, as much as he gets a lot of hate, I think the defense is on the right track. Obviously the run defense has to get better, and I agree with that. If its still a problem next year, fire him. Right now though I think the schemes are fine. Personally I feel like "unconventional" has become a bit of a meme. Yes, some of his formations are different, but there's a lot of stuff we run that is similar to other teams. When the team loses as frequently as they did in the last half of the season, the meme became amplified. When we were winning, the meme was spun positively. Have teams figured him out? I don't really buy it. He's been around long enough that whatever schemes he does carryover week to week probably have been evident in the other 35 years of his coaching history. He's certainly not perfect. None of these guys are, but they have also brought positives too. Stay the course and let's see if an improved roster in 2015 helps show off their work.

This is a similar answer the O'Shea has given to many different questions this year. He always answers that his focus is on this week's game and that everything is always reviewed by him and the team. I really don't see an issue here. The difference is that now that the team has lost a lot recently, the media has decided to go after him. Their honeymoon with him is over it seems. I am not sure what answer he could give that wouldn't be ripped apart by the media. "Actually, I see a ton of problems and I was reviewing the whole season instead of preparing for Calgary"?

Not really buying what January's selling here.

We should pump the brakes on talking up a QB who's played essentially a half of football. Kid looks good, I'm excited, but projections off that small a sample are challenging.

Goossen got beat bad on many plays, I was pretty concerned with his play. Daniels got beat a few times too but I thought he was better. Want to see more of him out there.

There is no controversy and won't be one for quite some time. Its Willy. Even if Brohm looks decent or good, its Willy.

Thrilled that they're making roster changes, even if its somewhat forced. Interested to see Daniels and Goossen on the line. Happy to get 3 Canadians on the interior finally.

Really thought he could be a good QB. Wonder if he gets another shot somewhere.

If you find yourself on Friesen's side... ...you are on the wrong side.

I like how the reporters in this town care more about why a practice was closed then the release of a player. "We don't care about Grigsby, I just need to be allowed in so I can sit and surf the 'net on my iPhone!"

Good riddance. Dude was soooooo overrated. Sounds like a bad teammate too.

Definitely concerned about his ability to find Americans, but right now I still have confidence in him. The moves to go out and trade for Randle and Willy were huge moves that don't get enough credit. I get that Willy was about to be a FA, but we've failed to pull the trigger before on things that give us an advantage.

I hope Paris Cotton just runs right through the Eskimos' defense.

I want him to do well just for the Fresh Prince jokes and gifs possible. Oh, and so we can win games. That too.

So excited for Cotton's chance now. Hope he lights it up and we can finally reduce Grigby's role.

I don't think coaching is the issue. Would bring both coords back. We need Walters to start improving the roster this offseason. It'll be a big test for him. Can he find a decent American WR? Will he land a Canadian lineman somehow? The reason this team isn't winning right now speaks more to the roster we are working with than the coaching job, in my opinion.

At this point anything would be better than Romby Bryant.

I would hope it doesn't turn you on. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The RedBlacks turned DOWN a first round pick + more?! Holy geeze Desjardins.

No running game, crappy receivers and a less than stellar O-line but you feel the need to 'bring him back to earth.' Wow. Oh, and dude's playing injured. Drew Willy is the best thing to happen to this team in a long time. He made some mistakes tonight. It sucks. We lost. This reads like a Stephen A. Smith argument - QB is not solely responsible for wins and losses, despite what some want you to believe.

We got ripped off by the refs tonight. They are always awful and I think despite that I'm mad at them my biggest issue is how awful it makes the league look. This is our entertainment. This is what we give fans. You just feel ripped off because the refs blew a few calls and honestly, every team in the league has had a right to feel that way at some point this season too. THAT'S the big issue. It hurts the product on the field.

He should be mad, sounds like he got hosed by the media and that was after getting royally screwed by the refs. However, he should be mad at himself for the way we handled that last drive too.
