Brady with some interesting comments here.

A little bit whiny for my taste.... But was glad to see him say, toward the end, it's not my place to say anything. I'm just one piece of the pie.

I can't fault him. I bet he may end up regretting saying that to the media cause I'm sure it'll be spinned...but I like that he said it. Hopefully it's another wake up call for everyone that changes need to be made.

He got in trouble with his mouth last off-season, took him awhile to earn fans back after he signed.

No need for spin unless you are Buck. The fans agree with Brady.

for real??!?!?1....I would have,,,...and he should have said more.....and some are biting their tongues right now...hard ....keeping quiet at times allows crap to fester...and yes players have right to make coaches accountable too.....he's earned th explanation.....guys who are ho hum about it need to be expelled...coaches included

Others on the list echoed that desire, including veteran offensive linemen Stanley Bryant and Pat Neufeld and defensive end Willie Jefferson, who had an outstanding Grey Cup performance.

After opening the season 0-4, then going to 2-6 before finishing 11-7 and winning the West Division title, Bryant said the way they lost the Grey Cup was disappointing and embarrassing.

“Just can’t go out like that,” said Bryant, an eight-time CFL all-star who turns 39 in May.

Players like these 3....thats who you bring back...and they see that they were failed and it's not right...nor what we wanna be remembered as.....enough of the Oshea Country Club of friends and Favorites.....

only one the last 3 yrs who been spinning crap is the HC

[rebusrankin]

Brady just sounds like he's being honest. Guy wears his heart on his sleeve so you get comments like this which I am fine with. Honestly better than the platitudes others give us.

[17to85]

Yeah i don't get it as whiny from  Brady. Guy was asked why he didn't see the ball more he doesn't know. It's fair for players and coaches to dissect what happened and run through the what ifs.

It IS his place to say something. He’s a leader on this team and the engine that keeps our offense running. I’m glad he spoke up, especially given that the coaching staff won’t ever explain a single thing publicly.

I appreciate someone questioning the process.

Have we given up on the possibility of Strev being the next in line.

Yes because Buck for some reason wants to play him like Lapo did with him doing gadget plays and being a battering ram.     I almost want Strev to get a fresh start where they will treat him like a QB.  

 

I feel with our great RB and receivers... if we had a guy who can distribute the ball without taking unnecessary risks (i.e. Zach forcing throws and the ints getting out of control)  that we would do really well.   Sadly Trevor Harris in the grey cup would of done signficantly better then Zach.   I'm guessing we stick with Zach next season and then two years from now they revisit who they want to start for the club.  I'm guessing next year is just another year where we wash out and following that we go through the growing pains of starting with a new QB.

Like players....coaches too have to be held accountable....a player messes up...underperformed...usually they get yanked...except here it seems if you are a vet...or a player the coach has some odd love for...same should hold true with coaches..they are a team...right?

Kudos dor speaking up...more could have been said...I bet more will

Know what, 

MOS = Dave Ritchie

Dinwiddie = Cal Murphy

Absolutely. If Miller/Walters/O'Shea think that the vast majority of Bomber fans are to stupid to have seen what has been going on, they will be shocked when the attendance falls.

Better track record, though, although Cal had to work with a bargain basement budget.

Sure but when I hear the word legend, Dinwiddie's name does not come to mind (maybe in time).

But hey to each their own.

Don Matthews was a legend but his end was less than glorious.

Not an exact clone or anything, but 
as a modern day equivalent, he’s closer than anyone else in the league. 

I used the comparison because Dinwiddie can be kind of crusty towards his players when it’s needed, the same way Cal was. 

I see similarities between Osh and Richie as “players coach” types, letting veteran players kind of run the room. 

Both approaches can work at different times, but I always thought the Head Coach needs to be a bit of a **** every so often.

Idk, I hate Toronto as a franchise both now and historically, but I mean 2 Grey cup wins and a 16-1 season in the first 4 years of a HC career is pretty damn impressive.

And really without any exceptional player(s) at the QB position.

Indeed... It was all about their lines, and the defense in particular. Ricky Ray was probably the last QB of note in that organization...

[CodyT]

Take it for what it's worth,

And I'm wrong most of the time.

But after having a few days to digest, this team and coaching staff are going to come back angry.  I think the aura is going to be different.
