My god is JC Abbott an annoying writer. Ok we get it, you got a thesaurus for your birthday. ”Chionophilic”? In an article about football?

Schoen is going to play. I think he has one game left in him before that ankle goes and he was saving it for the Cup.

Chad Kelly? More like Chad Smelly

Just for the record, it was never a matter (and still isn’t) of anything other than hoping this wasn’t going to come back and bite us in the ass. Doesn’t look like it’s going to, but I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I think that makes it good practice. I’ll firmly stand on my opinion that our roster isn’t optimal and leaves us vulnerable, that doesn’t mean we’re not still smashing teams when we’re operating at let’s say … 90% of what we could be. At the end of the day, all I want is a Grey Cup and it looks like we’ve got a great shot at another one. I hope Damian Jackson scores the game winning TD. They’re all Bombers and I’ll cheer for every single one of them. oh yeah and I’m getting an Evan Holm jersey. He’s a dawwwwwg.

You guys ***** and moan all year and look at us now

Just win baby

I love me some Khari but if his best attribute at this point is that he could be a good head coach with great players, that doesn’t really speak to his ability who has he made better as a coach?

Who did that? Because that's also incredibly stupid.

It still doesn't make sense. By process of elimination, you can't rationally justify giving a guy a vote for MOP if you don't even believe he was the best at his position.

Farhan's vote doesn't even make sense. You think Adams was the most outstanding player but you don't even give him your all-star vote?

I 100% feel that way, there’s not a head coach in the league I would trade him for. Doesn’t mean I agree with some of what he does, especially when it comes to roster decisions or in-game decisions.

Move the goalposts again lol you told me I couldn’t name one guy in ten years and I named eight in two seasons on two teams without even really thinking about it for more than five minutes and now you’re going to claim that’s the extent of the list so you can throw out some bullshit percentages? This is the stuff I’m talking about, you’re just so blind to the reality of the situation because you’re dead set on defending our team at all costs.

This right here tells me it’s no wonder your perception of our practice roster is so warped … if you can’t name a single player, no wonder you think the way we use our practice roster is fine. I’ll just use BC and Toronto over the past few years as examples, because those are the only teams I really worry about. Jalon Edwards-Cooper, Manny Rugamba, Alex Hollins, Keon Hatcher, Brandon Barlow, Damonte Coxie, Dewayne Hendrix, Jonathan Jones … off the top of my head in the past two years

And one of them is Jake Thomas lol

And if we were actually managing things properly, you wouldn’t have to jump through so many hoops to try and explain what the team is doing. Our practice roster has been mismanaged all year. Same as last year. Maybe if we didn’t waste spots on guys who were never going to make the roster, we could’ve brought in guys who actually had a shot at contributing and let them spend the year here getting up to speed on things. Maybe we could actually try developing a guy, giving him time to practice with the team so that if the opportunity presented itself, they’d be ready. I understand there’s this desire to defend every aspect of our team, but our overall approach to team building this year has been very poor. It’s one of two things, and there’s no amount of you defending the team or Noeller screaming about how we don’t know everything happening behind the scenes that can make it any different - either our scouts suddenly for the first team in their tenure here did a terrible job this year or our coach and our scouts aren’t exactly seeing eye to eye

Lmao at everyone overreacting to a comment. By viable replacement, I meant “maybe a guy who is actually a receiver”, not a proven all star.

I mean it’s true. Although I will admit I’m glad they at least trimmed a lot of the fat recently, but our PR is still very poorly used.

Classic lol another player hurt and we’re yet again going to have no viable replacement for him on our practice roster

Brady is going to easily reach 2000 yards this season

Except when I’m drunk on gameday but that doesn’t count

It’s kind of funny to me how you spent the first few games of the year belittling anyone who had a problem with anything, then after we had a few ugly games, you were basically acting as if our run of success was over and you had no confidence anymore, but now you’re the one talking about others going overboard. I’ve been pretty even keel with it all year. Our roster management sucks and I’m not worried about the results changing my mind. I’m worried about the fact that our results could be so much better if we did things a little differently.

Our PR use is a joke and continues to be a joke. We had Deng on our neg list for over a year. You bring him in and cut him within a week? What the **** are your scouts doing if you neg list a guy and then cut him without even a training camp or a live rep?

Kuony Deng is a player I’ve been excited about since I heard he was on their negotiation list. You can do a lot of things with a guy like that, he’s got good edge rushing ability but he’s also an unbelievable tackler in open space … I think his numbers his best year at Cal were like 110 tackles in 13 games or something.

There are simply adjustments that aren’t being made and something needs to be done about it. We need the staff to have a long, hard look at what happens within their offices because I see so many deficiencies that are coming directly from our coaching staff. There’s not much that they’re doing right now that I care for - the preparation, execution and player management is all leaving a ton to be desired and they’re smart enough to realize it. How are they going to address it?

I’m not suggesting anything. I’m genuinely curious. What am I missing because I don’t understand what he’s doing for our team that makes it better right now
