I’m under the impression ceresna and brinkman were gonna end up in the same place along with Robbie smith. And they all did. In reality none of the “high profile” free agents were coming here. They were going to the highest bidder and the highest bidder is never the teams who were just in the cup. We lost a receiver and defensive back, both appear to be overpaid, Toronto lost their entire D line. Montreal didn’t spend like morons. Bombers didn’t either, depth appears improved tho. Normally the bad teams spend like fools in the off season and they did. And if that worked then bc and Hamilton would be in cup finals and winning but they haven’t.
its like the nhl free agent frenzy. Jets don’t sign any big names (there’s reasons lol) but every year ppl complain when they don’t. But they are currently the best team in the league but in July ppl were pissed they didnt overpay a guy to come here. Teams who spend spend spend on hockey and the cfl, they don’t really win. Baseball the only sport where you can probably buy a winner and basketball but even then you only get Yankees vs dodgers once every 20 years in the final.
as for the whole we lost 3 in a row stuff, things happen in single game winner take all scenarios. The undefeated patriots lost to the giants. The 14 and 4 bombers lost to an 8 and 10 Calgary team. Kansas city just got owned by Philly. It happens. That’s sports.
