Booch

Nobody said they want them to lose @Goalie but many are right about a lot...and again this roster...and lack of depth...youth....fire...is par for course with osh of late in playoffs...sucks to be right and complaining about it...isnt unwarranted by any stretch...

Nice to see the zero pressure package back in fine form...JT gobbling up every snap

Yup...and we did it with him i. 2023 cup Did osh smarten up...not likely.. its probably the pro in Demski and putting team first saying that he not comfortable or confident he can play

Cause they know what an idiot oshea is from previous playoffs... What i wanna know is what the thought process was to use Corcoran over Clercius...sure he know superstar but makes his plays...can offer a physical mismatch and presence...has had some big catches...did nothing to work himself off the starter spot Corcoran offers none of that...still makes rookie mistakes...is a mismatch really to nobody and is slow AF

If Osh actually doesn't play Demski..which he shouldn't be it will probably be the most intelligent and best decision he has made in his time here Too bad he mitigated it with the Corcorran/Cobb decisions re: ratio and his piss poor defensive front roster...

Woli almost left...was gonna before his 2nd deal but players talked him out of it Bolo scramned and was pissed after 2023 Grey cup when 3 recievers...Bailey.. demski and schoen couldn't even run and he stood on sideline all game and got no snaps..after game he said he was gone And there are others...and fact we pay guys who basically are not worthy over younger guys who could have serious potential so they have to leave cause its a "apparent money issue" is just a joke and excuse.. players talk..small community and many know in order to have real opportunities here..extended reps and ability to up yiur dollars with play and accumulated stats and film...if you don't fit a certain "criteria" or are battling with an Osh holdover/fave who is a lesser player as well...then this is not your best option...believe it if you will...or don't...you all have your own choice and opinion...but also...don't kid yourselves either Jeffcoat retired from being lowballed...and didnt wanna play elsewhere...he had good offers from sask and cgy...and said no Payed fairly...he would have been back Fox is not a fringe players in Hamilton...he had been real good...Garbutt wasn't either and looked good but git hurt and been out all yr

Believe what u want...but yes guys decided to leave here and it wasn't soley chasing the buck tho we did/do lowball some guys figuring we had this draw...which we dont really have now ...tho they did get paid where they went... If some slug flukes out and has a one off game...I'm not gonna accept an "i told u so" chatter...as its means jack I think that's our only real chance in playoffs...save for a BO...Pokey...WJ...any other whipping boy pulling off a one off game better not have that save their seat at the table next yr if we bring Osh back...as we all know he will

Yeah.....always enjoy game day regardless of the warts and all And for some reason....Is this the first time for a team to go thru the East on the crossover...to play in the Cup in their own back yard...a team thats been hemorrhaging crap and seems to be clueless at the coaching level and flawed to the core??....Kinda writes itself for the unexpected shock story It also set's up for an utter embarrassing loss that showed the backing into the play-offs was just lipstick on a pig and glossed over the blatantly apparent issues...with similar themes from previous 3 flops key in the floppage....and same fatal error's and allows us to clean the slate and install new blood at the top......which will we get???

Battle was better...could do more...but can't lose having either or in lineup To think..we had West..Battle...Randolph...Jones all in lineup at one time. Another underrated guy who was solid as hell was Aaron Brown

Hammies fickle...and the worst strain to mess with....and even the most minor of minor pulls take a month minimum to get you in a "safe" zone..the way he came up lame when it happened...was more than a slight minor tweek He not gonna be impact he needs to be tomorrow...prob lucky to be next week...we should put best lineup together in hopes of advancing to Grey cup and shoot him up and let er all hang out in that game...but we won't.. and we know the way this will play out I'm shocked they aren't bracing up Strev and trotting him out there too truth be told

See we can agree...lobo...Jones didnt hurt us per say...but wasn't a difference maker Prime Biggies are rare...but prime Battles even rarer...he did it all...and better

As was most depth charts we faced Nope...not anymore.. Played him in 2023 as well when he couldn't run...with 4 others that yr...garuanteed he will again. Only way he won't play if Demski himself says its not the best for team Osh doesn't have the mental capacity for those types of games...thats just his poor traits showing...nothing more...nothing less

I know of a couple instances ...but you don't believe anything I say and oppose it incessantly so not gonna go on and on with it. You can't isolate just the instances where we dropped ball...and i agree with you that in several instances how we went about some negotiations was too little..too late...or a futile attempt after the fact when we realized that guys just weren't gonna wait on us and give us the family discount..and were in scramble mode Also we have to realize whom the HC had said in their discussions with g.m as to who he wants...doesn't...or should be priority...cause that's also a huge factor in things....and type of player he wants and the scouting team goes out and tries to appease him. Its not just the g.m vision...if anything he has the least input as save for cdn college draft work he is not the guy with boots on ground working guys out..at random workouts...bird dogging other leagues practices You are the one saying its a long list. You are the one with the "gym" fetish of hearing rumors...whatever that fixation is for you i have no clue..but that's not where i get my info...but I do go to several gyms...facilities..both sides of the border...work out with and also train players in the CFL..NCAA and NFL...so maybe that's your reason?? Or you did some research on me and put 2 and 2 together and got 22...not 4...I dunno...u tell me And u just encapsulated most your defence "media report" and that's not where you get the real tea..and most won't air much via media in such a small league...next time I will transcript things just for you... I've never left walters off hook....but hes not the more problematic issue here...if anyone is letting someone off the hook its you and defence of Osh...hes made same fatal flaws how many yrs now...and looks set up to again...so obviously isnt that bright...and regardless of who or what any g.m would bring in...osh will still coach and roster like osh...

and we wonder why of late guys tend to leave here more than stay....and we dont seem to land any big FA guys....

Knowing Griffin is ready...arguably one of our better defenders and most versatile 2 yrs running and can play sam..hb..cb...safety..how hes not on for Lawson Jr is a joke...and before anyone says maybe hes not 100 percent healthy...well when has that stopped Stupid from rostering a guy before....I can think of 6...7 instances...plus fact tomorrow Demski is a GTD and hasn't practiced in weeks...but Griffin has been...just the fact he is an uncertainty now tells you...he not really ready...but why rest him an extra week so if we advance could make a diff in EF...

Lobendahn was a legit difference maker...just a shame he played majority of his games knicked up

Biggest game of the yr...Likely our worst and poorest thought out lineup of the yr...just pathetic...but again, not shocked in the least...self sabotage once again...definitely time to cut bait with Osh...win or lose this game...its time If we do scratch out a win it will not be because of this brilliant use of who we have under contract... I can tell you several instances guys said thanks...but going with a different opportunity... Sad eh? And wasn't a stretch and going out on a limb with wild conspiracy rhetoric...just based on what we have seen..what we know...and who's in charge...hopefully for the last game...I want a win...expect a loss and one where we were never really in it...and I am sure we will see a couple real stupid ingame decisions and a good chance we get schooled again in second half adjustments...hope I wrong in that prediction tho...

Guess they watched the film last week...figured out the errors in getting pressure..sacks and limiting the Als offence and fixed that so we dont do that again

How Corcoran is even on the roster...let alone listed ahead of 2 guys whom he can't even hold their jocks for is laughable If BO gets hurt...or ZC does...or is just sucking we have no hope with this offensive lineup..especially if the backup has to depend on that crew And the saving grace that an active pressure inducing defence and scheme that we saw last week...that could have offset things a bit...just walked out the door too...who's actually shocked with what we trotting out? Sadly a fluke win will just extend this bafoonery for 2 to 3 more yrs

With Vaval as db depth no need for Lawson Jr as well when another dline guy be it Jenkins..Person..Adams..Jaworski would give us more impact... And really Ball...again...redundant and pointless as he should never see feild on defence so use his spot for Pererson as BO backup or dual use...did MCI one big run make osh go off in his pants and figure hes arrived..kid will and can be good but as the sole backup...not yet...especially when Peterson has shown hes legit That receiving group...yikes...and GTD?? Screams shades of previous playoffs and using walking wounded guys...for little to no impact other than hurting the team No reason we couldn't have went import at reciever and altered our ratio with starters considering we show 9 right now...again...not a shock and typical osh garbage...not expecting much of a whimper out of us and hopefully we can rid ourselves of who's leading this team

Or Barrin....Battle...West...heck even prime healthy Wilson....he's great rotational/depth/won't kill ya in spot starts guy...but a lot of his stats are misleading Much like some the dine guys "lack" of stats are in the grand scheme.....as their lack allows others to eat.....and then there are guys who dont rack up stats....their lack of stats isn't freeing up others...and serve zero purpose

Prob not much in level...and prob will not be playing full bore so whats the point.. especially 3 weeks into a hammy issue...recipe for disaster and then you down a key guy and seeing ad our depth and roster config has been butt awful..we likely have no legit backup

Jones is good/adequate....but that position you want elite and game changing if you don't have that elsewhere on defence...tho I think Woodbey could be our Winton McManus type guy....if he doesnt get poached for an NFL camp which I bet is quite likely....and another full camp next yr...an 18 games...I smell an All-Star there My issues with Jones given his age and league experience is he still makes same mistakes....has glaring flaws have not got better...so is what he is...the Perfect DA guy who can start if need be...take lotsa reps in a suuprt role and if is your depth guy...then your starting unit has to be pretty dame good Smith as well can easily take a starting role...as a pure rookie looked more than capable and if he had gotten use all yr...who knows where he's be at...if anything we as a team would know where he was at and if he was an actual viable option and you could work your off-season accordingly....this where we falter because Osh doesn't allow young guys to get that development....you don't get it in practice

If we were smart and Demski cant go...and I said already I'd be shocked if he was healthy enough (but when has that stopped Osh before neutering our roster) the smart move is to go with 4 import receivers....and I'd roll with Echols as he is experienced....is also a returner so if Vaval gets hurt...or has to go in on defense because lord help us someone else gets hurt h gives us some coverage there....Being rigid and lacking any sense in retaining the ratio as is with 6 Cdn on offence and 1 on defense is just more of the standard effing ourselves once again in playoffs with roster issues and use of assets We be just fine on defence having to have 2 on the field any given time as we do that anyway....Lawson...Kramdi...Smith who showed he can play...Bailey who showed the same...heck lets utilize the Nationalized Amerk rule and use those snaps to further help ourselves and limit how many times we have to watch Thomas out there doing squat....But sadly I am sure we will run out Corcorran and Cobb combo (hopefully just Cobb) if we go that route cause that's just the Oshea way....brain dead thought process.....and does nothing to help ZC with the offense...and lord knows he gonna need all the extra lil help and tweaks we can give him All that being said...I fully expect to see Demski out there...limited in what he can do...be a non-factor and just make things even harder for ZC.....And truthfully...why wouldn't I or anyone else expect otherwise?....the past 3 seasons are pretty good indicator to what we can expect....until proven wrong.

we've also seen pretty much every new young guy that finally got to play...played well and acrually made a difference...so talent was/is being brought in...and who knows what other tlent we cut loose could have done the same if not discarded for some of the same ol same ol crap we rostered all yr....or several yrs...so there is that angle too, and it's owned 100% by Osh....as his his refusal to not play injured guys who hindered the overall team....and thats happened for yrs here Fact of the matter...I wouldn't shed a tear of be worried in the least if both were not brought back....and we'd be just fine... We re-upped both prior to the Grey Cup last time they finished out the season with them on expiring deals....so if we flop again and actually dont get there.....is that the signal Miller uses for his new direction at the top 2 spots below him and decides it' time?...Possible....I not 100% sold that even if we do back our way in...that it's a given ....guess we shall see
