111th Grey Cup- Argos vs Bombers GDT

[Noeller]

There's not gonna be drastic change when we're hosting the GC. Or at least not the suggested "be okay with a down year" to rebuild. Not gonna happen.

I think they did a partial rebuild in season, but I really think the best advice is what JBR said: Have Zach tell you exactly who and what he wants to surround himself with, and then go buy it. Take whatever penalties you need to, to put the most talent on the field. 

And while I'm not going to whine and stomp and cry about veta getting tossed, I do agree that Thomas and Bighill (among others) need to be, as respectfully as possible, moved into the next phase of their lives. 

I am ******* DEPRESSED today... And I'm gonna need some time away from football breaking my heart again....but come spring, I'll be ready to fly. I'm excited for full season tickets next year and hopefully being in town for both a WF and GC.

No matter what, Let's ****** Go, Blue.... #FortHew #DefendTheFort

well if we don't make a couple vital key changes....and a shift in how we do things...we may not even get to it.

We partly did a rebuild this yr even tho we didn't intend to....and had some the growing pains for it already...but we have to without a doubt finish the turnover this winter and shed ourselves of a good 5...6 guys at minimum...stop blocking progress of some already here...and if it cause our staff thinks they not good enough...then replace them already

we already laid the majority of the ground work for the roster turnover and transition...so finishing it next yr by any means will not be a down year....more likely the opposite

But running it back next year with BA...Biggie..Thomas...Schmeck...Kolo...Wilson...Sheehan...Lucky..the one Hallett...and some of our longer in the tooth foot soldiers is doing the proverbial one step forward and 2 steps back

This has to be Walter's biggest and smartest off-season and take some of these issues totally away from Osh...and if he doesnt like it I am quite fine with him riding off into the sunset...nothing lasts forever...especially in pro football

Schoen and lawler are my top 2 priorities this off season. Sign them both. We are hosting the grey cup. 
 

release some guys and don’t sign some if the option exists but expecting drastic change is insane considering we hosting. Who are our free agents. Perhaps someone with the time can make a list and how long are guys like Thomas signed for cuz if they are, only way they going is via retirement or release.

You cannot say nothing lasts forever- you have not listened to one of my wife's lectures.

Demski just needs to be paid like a 3 not a 1b really.

He's signed through next year and with another 1k season under his belt I'm not sure he's in a hurry to renegotiate. But who knows what the core would be willing to do in order to build the best team possible for a home town Cup.

I think those first three.  Another veteran American big body, you have the two vet Canadians filling 1 spot, Demski kind of a utility guy too.  I wouldn't count on getting more than 15 games from anyone, need depth.  We win and lose based on our ability to pass the ball.  I have no issue having a million dollar receiving corps.

Also need to sign 3 OL...preferably 2 Canadians.

Can we get Walters to sign @JuranBoldenRules as a consultant? Pretty sure he was the guy advocating we nab Polk off Toronto's PR which in hindsight would have been a great move.
