Goalie

Ottawa seems to be lacking Canadian depth and receivers big time, not sure that they don't take Demski actually.

Bucknor had a pretty sold season, He's a good player, would love to see an all american secondary tho, think that would be great but... worst case scenario, bucknor starts again and really with the way he played this year, that's really not that bad at all. I'd put him in the must sign category only because I feel he was actually one of our stronger national players this season and we seem to be lacking national players who can start. Sign him but... if we can upgrade some other spots, maybe go all american secondary and have bucknor as a backup and special teams player I guess the way i see it is, Is bucknor one of our worst national players? Nope, is he one of our best? based on this play this year, i'd say he is. Sign him.

Jets are on a roll now, playing very good defensive hockey, buying in to the system maurice is implementing. Pretty solid to spectacular road trip really, 7 out of 8 points, should have been and easily could have been 8 out of 8. The lack of goal scoring is a concern but... what this little road trip shows is you can win tight games with good defensive play. I'm pretty confident that eventually the goal scoring will come, some of these guys seem pretty snake bitten right now...but still confident their time will come to break out and when they do, I suspect it might be quite huge actually. Hope it doesn't take away from their defensive game tho as that is what has been winning them games. What the Jets are doing right now is playing playoff hockey... Out hitting their opponents, blocking shots left right and center, winning that 1 goal game. If the scoring comes and eventually it will, this team might surprise some people. It seems to me in this day and ago, with twitter and all this social media crap that some people just like to talk crap to people and for some reason or another will be a tough guy online to them, anyone ever actually check out Kanes twitter? see some of the comments he gets? My guess is those people making those comments are also the ones making up the rumors about him too. Why? who really knows, I would assume jealousy is a factor and probably the main factor for sure.

Will probably revise this after next week, cuz a few things could change but Calgary vs Montreal right now.

If Campbell got fired, I'd seriously consider him as a candidate for DC here. Very good D in Calgary when he was there and very good Ottawa D too. I know Nelson might be the DC but Campbell has a pretty solid resume when he was the DC.

It's not just one game tho, it was a bunch, the offense went cold for a long time, i think some should go back and rewatch several of the games we played earlier in the year and then go back and watch games later in the year, The D is pretty much the same D, it's the offense that regressed pretty big time.

We win on Labour Day and the home game against Hamilton easily if he plays. I'm sure there are a few others where we were in second and long all game that he would have prevented. Or if we made the other teams running attack as useless as ours we could have won probably all our games this year. Calgary ran wild yesterday on us, but time of possesion in the first half was 16 minutes to 14 minutes for Calgary. I think you are making things to simple here, it's not about just the running game against us, it's about us turning the ball over at times, it's about play calling, it's about a lack of a run game so teams could send the house and beat our qb up cuz they knew we couldn't run. It's not as simple as just picking one aspect and saying that's the problem. It's a lot of issues.. Lost 6 or 7 by a touchdown or less and in most those games turned the ball over a heck of a lot of times, more than 1 or 2 times that's for sure. You don't think those turnovers played a bigger role? Yeah sask ran wild on us, so did a few teams but 6 or 7 games lost by a touchdown or less and turned the ball over a ton of times in those games? Don't think that played a little role at all? I'm not a huge fan of using stats because it doesn't really tell you the whole story but... it's been pretty proven that if you don't turn the ball over, you win. We don't turn the ball over in those games we lost by a touchdown or less and we more than likely win, even if the other team ran the ball down our throats. lol, of course I agree with you but too many times people just look at one aspect and say that's why we lost. Nobody can predict the future and doing one thing better won't always give you the results you expect. Butterfly affect is all I'm saying but some would have you believe that you can disregard other problems as not being substantial contributors to wins and losses and I call BS. Yeah, it's definitely not just one area. Penalties, Turnovers, Sacks, Rushing against... Red Zone production, Tackling at times. It all adds up for sure.

Here from the free press It was the first year with O’Shea as head coach, however, and the Bombers field boss was asked Sunday what lessons he took away from his rookie season as a head coach. "We’ve got a lot of work to do. And there’s lots to learn still. That’s an easy answer," O’Shea said. Asked where his team needs to get better, O’Shea didn’t mince words. "Every phase. We want to win championships, so saying we’re going to fix one thing here, one thing there -- it doesn’t work that way. "We have to get better across the board -- we can’t afford to take penalties, we can’t give up so many turnovers, we can’t give up that number of sacks, we can’t give up those rushing yards, we need to be more effective in the red zone. "It’s everything. We’re trying to improve every facet of the game. What I’ve said to the coaches so far is we’re going to spend this off-season inspecting everything." Asked to assess the performances of his offensive coordinator Marcel Bellefeuille and defensive coordinator Gary Etcheverry, O’Shea was upbeat. "They’ve worked extremely hard. They’ve put their players in positions to be successful. They’ve done a pretty good job." But O’Shea hedged when asked if the two men would be back for the 2015 season, noting he hasn’t even yet had his own performance review from GM Kyle Walters. "When I have that meeting with Kyle, then I’ll be able to go down the line and go from there." http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/OShea-knows-Bombers-job-under-review-281234101.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

O'shea has kind of a point tho, I mean you can run the ball all you want but if you are only kicking fg's or starting at your own 20 or 30.. then big deal.. Calgary ran for 214 yards? That sucks...but they only scored one touchdown all game.. All that running they did, lead to nothing really. Yeah they turned the ball over and that's why they lost... Which kind of proves Mr Dees point that turnovers are way more important than how many yards you gain on the ground.

We win on Labour Day and the home game against Hamilton easily if he plays. I'm sure there are a few others where we were in second and long all game that he would have prevented. Or if we made the other teams running attack as useless as ours we could have won probably all our games this year.

Lost about 6 or 7 games by a touchdown or less... Surely playing Cotton in a few of those games makes a difference. Really the Difference between 10-8 or at worse 9-9 and 7-11 is probably a few of those games we lost by less than a touchdown and had absolutely zero threat of a run game at all.

none of them but i will watch the playoffs and in the grey cup game, I'll cheer for the team who hasn't won recently. However, if it's Edmonton vs Hamilton, I might not watch cuz those 2 teams along with the ALS are the teams i can't stand the most.

Marve looked ok again, Pretty average really but since he didn't get many reps this season and he is in his first year in the CFL, he does show potential to be pretty good. He has probably made a case to be the back-up next season, This year he was 3rd string. Brohm probably would have got the reps if he wasn't hurt but... Marve definitely made a case. His numbers are just average, really he's completed just 50 percent of his passes both games that he has been given extended playing time. For a first year guy? Not too bad at all. But maybe what it shows you is regardless who the QB has been, the offense has struggled to actually move the ball consistently IF they get away from the RUN, something they never had for basically week 2 to week 15 or whenever cotton started. Think if Willy had Cotton in there all year, you probably see them running the ball a bit more... Be nice to actually develop Marve properly, give him limited reps for a year or so more and then see what he can do, He's still learning the game.. and it's pretty obvious watching him that yes he shows potential but he still has a ways to go to be a legit starter. Willy is the guy next year... The back-up tho? Marve may have made a case in his limited reps that he can be that guy. Brohm is a free agent too. Marves numbers ain't that great.. struggled to move the ball too but i think part of that is on OC and part of that yesterday might have been the weather. Marve shows potential but he's not even close to being as good as Willy is. Give Marve some proper development tho and who knows what he can turn in to.

He takes a lot of heat from people who probably can't skate and has never played hockey in their lives. I agree though, He has been the best JET this season and if he got some help, IE: more than 1 goal a game, we would be in a playoff spot. Jets are 11th in the league in goals against, 28th in goals for. Fans always want to blame one guy tho regardless.

marve again completed just 50 percent of his passes, 6-12 for 76 yards. D won this game.

Ahh crap, Game on Sportsnet tomorrow, means terrible announcing again. YAY. can't wait for that.

credible sources? Ok.. there you go. You believe what you want. I'm done talking about this. Because that's the answer i expected from you. Can't prove it but you have sources.

Doesn't pinnacle mean basically the best... or can't get much better than that? so really when you think about it, it makes sense.. You know it's been a long season when some seem to complain (one really) about the naming of the seats she has reached the pinnacle of her career. The P1's are obviously the best seats in the house aka they are the pinnacle of the seats at IGF. Pretty simple no?

City Of Calgary = COC Guess if misspelling words is allowed, guess what that tells you is they are a bunch of dicks really.

Let me just add this.. one of Brohm or Portis needs to be signed too. To me, those 2 and Willy are pretty similar, maybe Portis a bit more mobile than Brohm so he might get my nod right now, however pretty tough to say when he hasn't seen the field at all. Marve is a nice change of pace QB, if the other 2 are struggling maybe you change it up for a series or 2 and go with the guy who brings the different element but... I like the idea of having 2 QB's who are similar and one who is not (the developing qb normally)

Anderson,Sears,Washington,Wild The rest get a huge meh from me including Glenn January.

I honestly don't really understand why some fans think they deserve to know everything that is going on? Cuz you pay for a ticket i guess is the reasoning? Gotta be it actually... In the big picture tho, it's just football and it's for entertainment purposes, if you aren't being entertained or it's bothering you that much, man oh man, maybe should step away for a while and maybe not watch.. Honestly, i don't mind the criticism of the team but stuff like this? Man oh man, it's been MOS MO since he got here.. why don't people understand that? It's borderline insanity here actually. Why does it piss people off so much? and Why do some fans think they need to know every little thing that is going on with this club? Is it the community owned thing? people think they have the right to know everything cuz they think that means they are owners of the team? I don't get it. Some of these topics are crazy, got enough issues on the team, and bet your ass MOS is aware of them, he's just not going to come out in public and say it. What's the issue there? Do some people honestly believe they know more than the people who are being paid to do this for a living? Paul Maurice said it best a few weeks ago, the coach of the jets when he said basically we don't have an obligation to tell you what is going on in the room.. I loved his quote too, "i can make you ******* cry in that room".

Obviously that's not all you care about...since you are posting all these rumors that are not about wins! Its not a rumour if its true. Obviously that's not all you care about...since you are posting all these rumors that are not about wins! Its not a rumour if its true. prove it if it's true.. seriously tho, PROVE IT. Also, womanizers? really? who really gives a crap about that, if you truly didn't care like you say you didn't, you wouldn't bring it up Prove some of it, womanizers? i have friends who are womanizers, man whores, who really gives a crap about this stuff. It's irrelevant really. The bigger stuff you mention tho, prove it or maybe just stop. Cuz i really don't think you can prove what you are saying and hate to say it man, ain't nobody gonna believe you.

Some still don't get it eh? MOS won't say things in the media, he hasn't all year, vague answers like every coach in the CFL gives, someone find me a coach in the CFL who constantly gives the media the inside scoop. That guy doesn't exist. I'm actually happy we only have one more game left cuz i think it's pretty obvious that some folks need to step away for a while and come back to reality.

Honestly, i can't respond back to the posts who say Crompton is better than Willy... I just can't cuz nothing good will come of it. All i'll say to those are.. Give us Montreals D and give us their oline and let's see what happens. Seriously, anyone who honestly believes Crompton is better than Willy... man oh man...SMH for sure. Also Collaros, the ticats have what? 7 wins? lefevour had what? 2 of them? 1 for sure tho... Collaros has cost hamilton some games too, has had chances to win some close games and couldn't do it. Taking the entire season in to account and taking all the other factors in to account like OLINE play, Defensive play, Receivers.. 1. BLM 2. Reilly 3. Ray 4. gets tricky here cuz these next 3 are really interchangable but lets just say 4a b and c, in no particuluar order either Willy,Glenn,Collaros 7.Durant- dude has missed half the season now, can't rate him either, he was doing nothing special when he was playing either 8.Crompton 9.Hank
