no idea on his contract status for next year..i would support a trade for him if Zach is done for the season.

I think he stays in Toronto
We should take Arbuckle, or the kid we let go to Ottawa, or what's his name in Edmonton.
Ditch the guys who are done.  We have a bunch.

i think we have to do something - Strev ian not the answer.  MOS gaslighting us saying the playbook doesn't change with Strev at qb...he can't throw anywhere as good as Zach, he just can't.

I don't think I'm watching any games if we have have Chad Kelly starting. That would alienate me as a fan.
My wife is amazing!

No to Chad Kelly. He may have talent as a player but he's not the kind of character I want on the team I support.

Arbuckle might be a choice in 2026. I don't know his contract status. Our problems are deeper than any change at QB. We're being out coached every game.

No this is NOT a matter of being patient. We retained too many of the old guard and were ineffective in free agency as well. Better talent might have overcome some of the coaching issues but that's uncertain.

Chances are we finish 3rd or at as the crossover team. Edmonton is playing better now that either the Bombers of Lions.

Injuries may dictate how things play out but if Collaros goes to 6 game IR on Monday, we're done IMO. Streveler and the other problems are not a winning formula.

We had a big opportunity to win this game but self destructed.
One game at a time.

Arbuckle all the way. By far and away the best option out there. No to dry brown waaaay to injury prone

Bring on arbuckle and some me D line and O line help

Totally agree. The guys a creep. We re desperate  but not that desperate and I d like to think we have more integrity than to even consider that —and we have our dignity and brand reputation to protect. I couldn't cheer for a team that employs him

Good chance Arbuckle demands upper QB wages next season, forcing the Argos to let him go, pretty good for an unwanted QB that was sitting on his couch a few months ago.

Probably not going to happen but worth a phone call.

Pass, let's just hope Zach is ok

But finding a win now option will be on our radar if he isn't

Tough day to be a Bomber fan

Kelly - nope, he's as injury prone as Schoen with other downsides.

Ford - I mean if our QBs have to run for their lives because of the O line, I guess having a runner would be good...

Based on what I saw this weekend and last, we're only better than Montreal, and they'll be back if Alexander gets healthy.

I'll revise my previous forecast - we don't make the playoffs with Zach, we definitely won't with anyone else.  Let's watch the rest of the season tank and hope we purge hard in the off season.

Ya, you just gotta come to grips with reality— it's just not happening this year. Even before zach got hurt tonight, he wasn't very good. And our D, barf, our D line has went from bad to make me sick! They're horrible. Our defensive strategy of rush only 3 and hope the offense self destructs isn't a very good one. I d love to be a Qb playing against our D line. Zero worry of injury because you ll never be touched!!

Oh well, we had a good run, time to watch other teams play in the playoffs and grey cup.

Zach having an average year
Our defense isn't nearly as bad as you suggest
DL C+
DB B (assuming Houston can play like he did in the past)
FS C+, trending up
LB A

With Zach we make the playoffs sans Zach nope
