Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Montreal November 1, 2025

[Sir Blue and Gold]

If Zach is back it needs to be for ~450,000. He's no where near a top QB anymore and we can't pay him like one.

So, Wilson clearly open in the EZ and "doink"...

But lets not change the goal posts...

They can't move them soon enough!!

Ya he's a middle of the road qb now and his stats reflect that, his pay cheque should as well

[Sway]

Apparently only 10 people can competently play CFL QB.  Zach, with all his faults is one of those guys.

Give him some help and a OC who isn't pathetic and he has another year in him. 450k vs 550k is irrelevant

[Pigskin]

Yeah but still. 8 carries is a joke.

Isn't BO20 a Free agent again this year??

[theaardvark]

For sure this will come up in contract negotiations and money says Brady will insist there is a change at OC. Our playbook used to be run heavy, not so much this season

But then again, your allstar Rb coughs up a major fumble that cost us the game

Its funny, becasue the OC was Brady's RB coach when he had his best season...

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Isn't BO20 a Free agent again this year??

Yes. And he turned down more to stay here the last time. He's not worth it. I'd say let him walk.

[theaardvark]

Zach's missed time and drop in performance makes his a poor choice for your starter.

Who can replace him is a big question, until the tampering period, or possibly a trade for a guy that can't compete against a starter under contract, we won't know.

Elgersma? 

Wilson?  Chase?

So much m'eh out there, if MOS is back, can he find an OC who can then catch lightning in a bottle?

He really doesn't, he maybe had 2 good games this season.  I fear that 3rd Q earned him another season and we'll be in for another year filled with excuses and disappointment.

[Pigskin]

Will need to spend some money on a OL to protect ZC8. I really hope Elgersma shows up to TC.

[tlf]

About ZC, we've also been without Schoen, and some top receivers for a long part of the season.  We no longer have Lawler and our Oline is not good.  His play has dropped off some, but it's not all on him.  A rookie OC is partly to blame as well.  The OC is not good. Many factors at play here.

Losing Hardrick was big

[Tecno]

Back at the hotel.  Overall it was a fun time, and the fans were gracious.  Sucks to lose, but on the bright side I don't need to book a trip to HAM now...

Ironic that our D lost the game when all season long it was our O that sucked.  Zach had one of his best playoff games, minus the ill-advised run & fumble.

Brady is the highest paid RB by miles and he had a mediocre game and cost us the W in the end with that final inexcusable fumble.  Budget no-name Scott made him look like a chump.

At least I get to have fun around MTL for a few days. Lots to do, even with next to no metro.

Now... go Jays.  We don't want this to turn into a day everyone loses.

TSN said he will be exploring his NFL options and won't be back to Canada until May-June at best so event be in training camp or really can't be counted on in 2026 plans really

[GOLDMEMBER]

Yes. And he turned down more to stay here the last time. He's not worth it. I'd say let him walk.

I agree.
