I disagree… reactions ranged from “desperation move for a washed up player” to “we didn’t give up much so it can’t hurt”… I’d have to check the thread but I don’t really recall anyone being too optimistic about it

Collaros is going to retire as one of the all time best bomber QBs… he’s gotta crack at least the top five on this list

Houston has been amazing this year… Nichols is probably still the top dog in our secondary but Houston isn’t far behind. I think we all agree 7 linemen would be ideal but you know it can’t be done without those three you mentioned… best case with our current roster is Jeff-Lawson-Walker-Jeff with Thomas/Bennett, Hansen, and Haba/Fox rotating in

I think this is technically a 10-way tie… Zach + 7 o-linemen + Lawler + Schoen 😁

Miller would be huge but don’t forget about Gauthier… he’s a major player on teams too

I didn't see what Jpan saw... but if true, there's no way it was over something this meaningless... Zach only goes off for something really egregious... maybe some trash talk said to him or cheap shots to him or a teammate... last time I can recall Zach saying something publicly about an opponent is when he called out ****** Williams after the 2021 West final

It's like last year's Grey Cup... there wasn't one specific thing that caused the loss... but a list of things where if you change one of them, we probably win

Another thing... their RT was moving before the snap, never called (maybe once)... multiple times... every time he lined up against Willie he would jump early to try and get the edge... you even see it twice if you watch the game recap on cfl.ca

unfortunately we only served up a 6 pack... so they'll have to share I was just thinking about this too... what is Darby brining to the roster right now?... If Krahmdi is starting, why not dress Parker who brings much more to the return game and positional versatility in the secondary?

I think what broke us in the first match up was the last 3 mins of the first half.... score was 10-3 and Bombers drive the field only to stall out on the 5(ish) yard line and come away with only a FG and a min left on the clock.... BC gets the ball back and easily drives the field for a TD... half time score is 17-6 instead of 10-10...

Was just thinking DL is where the extra DA should reside... we should be ok in the defensive back field in case of injury... Darby can play multiple positions or BA can move around and Hallet can fill in at safety... this D needs a heavy DL rotation to be effective.

I'm not one to complain about the roster decisions as much as others... I trust out coaching staff since they have about 20,000x time more football knowledge then I'll ever have in my life time... but to use a DA spot on a backup fullback instead of an extra DL or DB (especially one who can return punts) is an incredibly baffling decision...

I was thinking that recently... I recall him being a borderline bust in Edm... now suddenly he's unstoppable

What would Dinwiddie possibly know about having to play meaningful snaps with basically zero experience??

not to mention they'll have 1st locked up by Labour day... surely they'll lose a few games down the stretch when one one or both of their mystery QBs gets a full game

I think my favourite part of that highlight pack was all the Riders fans convinced they were going to the cup after the punt return TD

If there's a close race for a major award between a Canadian vs an American... I would bet the Canadian wins every time...

That's not technically true... they were a Ricky Ray drive away from being the first ever cross over team to make the Grey Cup... I would consider that "close" I agree with this part... but just shuffling the deck and demoting someone, while keeping him on staff and failing to rid yourself of the real problem (Jones) is never going to solve anything.

I heard somewhere he's an athletic 6'5...

So the Elks announce that Jackson will take over as OC... and McAdoo will remain on staff as an "advisor"... surely this will solve all their problems...

Here’s my take on the riders… they were clearly a contender until Harris went out… so the smart thing to do would trust their current leadership and make sure to lock up O’Day and Dickensen to long term deals 😉

No idea who this guy is but we desperately need DEs… so this is a positive… if there’s any chance Hansen is ready after the bye we could suddenly have some decent DL depth

As long as the Bombers are the 2022 Argos… then I’m ok with this comparison Riders are definitely bad… but the Elks might be the worst team the CFL has seen in the last 20 years

Not only that… he’s a redneck from like Alabama or something… edit: he’s actually from Ohio… which makes even less sense… I thought maybe Louisiana French district would make sense

this is interesting and hopefully helpful... always good to get a mauler in at guard... if I was choosing which of the three interior guys I wanted changed, Gray probably would've been my third choice... but then again, WTF do I know... EDIT: I think we'll still see a lot of Gray in TE formations tonight
