Colin Unger Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I'm not quite seeing the reason to think this team has no chance going forward. Despite all the complaints somehow all opponents outside of Montreal failed to dominate this team on the scoreboard. We've played 4 games in a row that came done to who was going to make one play and we lost 3 of them. The team has a lot of problems but somehow there must be something they're doing better than their opponents to remain competitive week after week despite the obvious flaws.

Atomic Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I think there are plenty of reasons for optimism. That doesn't mean I don't also see issues. I just think it's not so dire. Our defense has actually had pretty good results, especially given the situations that the offence has put them in repeatedly. We've got the 3rd fewest offensive points allowed, tied for second fewest TDs against, 4th in net offence allowed, 2nd in passing yards allowed, middle of the pack in forced turnovers. It's not all rosy, as we are getting carved up on the ground where we are 9th in yards allowed per game. But overall, the defence has been decent. It's the offence that has really struggled. We're basically dead last in every category. We've also had injuries to two of the top receivers in the league and to Brady and Zach. My biggest worry is with the OL... they need to be better. We need more Brady and Streveler, even when Zach is healthy. Get the OL in run blocking situations where they are better than they are in pass pro. But I still see hope - I'm not of the opinion Zach is totally done. In fact I think we see a huge game from him tomorrow and then suddenly we're 2-4, on a 2 game winning streak, and right back in the mix. The visions are clear now. I see possible futures, all at once. Our enemies are all around us, and in so many futures they prevail. But I do see a way, there is a narrow way through.

What point are you making that's so different than what's been expressed since week 1? The only thing that makes you look delusional is you opinion that it's a sure fact the rest of this year and 2025 will be a disaster. So much can change in that time.

Arnold_Palmer Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I’m not saying we’re 2011 BC lions but that season they started 0-5 and then beat us in the grey cup. Like anything there’s things to be concerned about, there’s also been some areas of improvement and optimism as well. I’m not going to give up on the season yet even though I’ve been frustrated by the roster management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 What's sadder?

I can see a streveler chant starting early if he hasn't improved. In terms of getting better....the money should be there now, especially with Schoen being done.
