Glad to have Kyrie back... Ease him in slowly and have him at full speed for playoffs...

Fixed.

The comments about poor roster management aren't wrong, it's just exhausting. And absolutely we have lost some GREAT posters who are now just lurking (at best) because they're tired of the rampant negativity. 

I'm honestly not sure why either side bothers to get into this again. I think everyone knows where everyone stands and this type of discussion has 100% turned me off the forum in the last few months...not because I don't appreciate it...but because I ******* KNOW!!! We've been there...talked about it...argued about it...can both sides just please move the **** on already!! Gawd damn!!

Anyways....

Saw someone on Twitter post they saw Johnson kinda PO'd at the banjo bowl. When the game ended he left the field immediately, no shaking hands etc. Just went right to the locker room. Maybe it was just time for a divorce...sometimes for whatever reason things don't work out. Too bad, cause he seems to have the right talent for the CFL. I bet we see him in another uniform before long.

O'SHEA IS TERRIBLE AND EVERYTHING WE HAVE ACHIEVED IN THE LAST DECADE IS IN SPITE OF HIM I WOULD RATHER HAVE CRAIG DICKENSON BECAUSE AT LEAST HE DIDN'T START THAT MANY CANADIANS HOW ******* DARE YOU!

Now this is how you do a gameday thread
 

Seconded. Not saying anybody is flat out wrong but holy **** this place is depressing. It's like the polar opposite of TEP where the bombers have never once ever done anything wrong. 
Where's my happy medium?

Seems like a nice guy. 
 

I feel seen. 

Agree with the first part, not sure about the second part. I think Mike's right that they'll maybe go 500 because the East is no hot ****. Everyone is in play over there...

My view is Arbuckle was brought in to back up Dukes.  In that division I could see the Argos still winning close to half their games with Dukes and then they get their start back for most of the second half of the season. The Argos are a good team and Dinwiddie is a great coach. 

Rookies for the most part aren't ready to push out a vet by the end of camp and we don't dress shlub starters at any position. A rookie would have to be a game breaker to push out a vet on our team while they are still at the beginning of the learning curve. Very few rookies league wide show that ability year one.

Antonio brown announced he’s filing bankruptcy. He will try to get another nfl deal. How long before the elk or riders add him to the neg list?

Well if she wanted to be happy she shouldn't have married me... wait what were we talking about?

No you launched into your tired old tirade when evidence points to this situation not being the same. I agree there's too much loyalty to some aging vets... but I don't think it's a problem on offense really (other than my personal belief that Eli should be a starter somewhere). I know you loved BOLO,  but nit like demski or wolitarksy are a problem. He just got caught in a deep spot.
You have gone off the deep end on this issue I am sorry to say. Even I'm tired of it and I agree there are some issues, but you're building thus up to be too much.

Pretty lofty attendance goal, but hey, shoot for the stars

Oh for Christ's sake..  the last time there was an open spot at receiver we wound up with Dalton schoen... I think they've earned a little bit of trust on this particular issue.

Dude .. I’m agreeing with you.

I dunno, I largely agree that there are some roster management issues that the team falls into, I also think that the constant harping on it is getting to be a bit much. I mean we haven't even seen any cuts yet! It's a new year, let's wait until **** actually happens to get all angsty about it.

While I do agree with some of what Booch and Mike are saying, I do believe this post is correct as well.... Average Joe Sports Fan sees no issues with what's happening at Fort Hew....

I'm gonna just not take a stand one way or another until we have enough evidence. Other than "well he doesn't have the measurables that I want to see in a DL" we have nothing to go on. He hasn't had enough game time to judge with any certainty. He might be ****, he might be good. I'll wait and see. 

Me too. I’ve always hated the Riders but always respected who Weston was as a player and as a person. A real heart and soul guy. I know he wasn’t completely in his prime here in Winnipeg but he still had some productive years here and helped change our culture around to the winning culture it is today. 

Yeah if it was that simple why did it take soooo long to even find a competent coach let alone a coach that has won us 2 cups? Your bias against MOS is showing again.

Keep preaching what you’re preaching boss.

OK, but that’s what I am asking. Who? Pigrome is the only notable name that jumps to mind. And he wasn’t going to beat out Collaros or Brown, and he failed at his chance to be the short yardage WB and was replaced by the veteran incumbent Prukop who did a much better job at the sneaks. And then when he went to Ottawa he did nothing special there. I’m trying to recall a cut who went somewhere else and made an impact and was an obvious mistake in being cut. We hold on to vets for sure, but do we really know that better options have been ignored? Only proof would be if they got scooped and outperformed elsewhere. Otherwise maybe the lack of better newer recruits who should bump the old guard  falls on the scouts who aren’t finding better talent.
