Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Hamilton - September 12, 2025

Realistically, we all knew it was coming when Zach aged out. QBs are hard to come by.

Zach's the first quality starter I've seen in my entire fandom (depending how low your standards are).

We'll sign Ford in the off season, not upgrade the Oline, and watch him literally run for his life for 4 games next year.

I don't believe anything, lol. That's the point.

In all seriousness then, isn't that just a form of laziness?  "I don't want to check the film", "I don't want to think about it", "Authoritah will tell me in a few days"

Not a dig, just trying to understand your mindset, because it's completely the opposite of mine.  I want to figure it out myself, right now, as best is possible given the available info, and make educated guesses that more often than not turn out right.  It's what I thrive on.

I would rather take time to make a correct decision than make a wrong one quickly. There's literally no way no know anything right now, regardless of how slow you can run the tape.

It's like asking what Mike O'Shea had for breakfast this morning by watching his post game presser. I'm sure you can make a guess, there just won't be any information to back it up.

Because it's a waste of time.  Rewatching a single play over and over again to come up with a medical diagnosis when you can't actually examine the player is pointless

Absolutely pointless.

Man, you're not living up to your signature these days.

I don't blame anyone for being a little down on the team as of late but you're like a different person

I am not down on the team at all, I think we have the personnel to get to the GC and win.

I am down on MOS making Streveler a ride or die.  And was proven right again tonight.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

We've been driving with the Check Engine light on for the last two seasons and I fear we're going back to the QB wilderness very soon and will be longing for the days of Brink and Elliot

Remember this scene from Jaws?

I think O'Shea is Quint, after he takes a bat to the marine radio cutting off all hope of a rescue he intends to burn the boat down to the waterline just to prove he's the captain.  I only wish he was a heavy drinker so we'd get a little more entertainment value out of what's left of this season.

[Big Daddy]

Well no, not really. But given the choice of Stamps/Riders or Als/Ticats...

At best a slower death

[Sway]

Agreed something has to change they won't all go but one or more of the 3 will be gone imo

Long way before Miller brings in the guy on a Harley

[Big Daddy]

Andre Proulx does not know what he is doing.

understatement for the last 20 years...

[barbk]

Ouch.  At least it's not Brohm.  No one pines for Brohm.  Goltz maybe, but never Brohm.

I would put Sammy Garza on that list

[Big Daddy]

Thank you to Ducky for the one like on this brilliant comment.

Now I am insulted!  I liked it as soon as I saw it.

Mr.T!!

Yeah I actually agree with you, I just find it unfamiliar seeing you criticize the team ever in the last 15 years since I joined the forum.

In all seriousness, who is good enough to win the GC?  Oliveira, Demski and O. Wilson.  Castillo.  Holm.

O Line - no

D Line - no

Secondary - no

QB - no

Coachin staff - not a chance

No it's not a waste of time or pointless.  A lot can be seen from the video.  You are right that an actual diagnosis comes after examination.  However, even that isn't perfect.  Imaging then shows things you couldn't find on physical exam.

Even then, imaging (as much as my radiology colleagues would like to think) is not perfect, no matter the latest MRI you can see or access.  I've seen radiology reports underestimate damage/injury, and also overestimate. 

So now you are left with surgery - seeing in real time what is happening in the joint - either laproscopically, or fully open operation. That is when you can see what actual damage is done.

But to assume watching video meticulously can't give you any further information than pure speculation is just silly.  At the extreme - watch the Joe Theismann injury.  Not hard to see he wouldn't be starting the next game.
