We scored 30 points and it could have been/should have been more. Turnovers cost us this game.

Until you find a replacement ZC8 and he wants to leave, I think he will be here. I think Neufled has another year in him. He's been pretty solid. Bryant lost a step last season, should have used Bryant money to get a up level Canadian OL. 

[Pete]

the  trouble is to get a top cdn olinemen is crazy expensive look at Woodmansey at $300k and he isn't a top player. Bryant is not even in the top 15 highest paid.
Wed have to and should replace him with an import, is Dejon Allen a possibility?

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

I thought I saw him often during the game. Whether he had nay reps after those 2 plays I'm not sure.

Gatkuoth has received regular reps since the start of the season, he generally plays quite tentatively but maybe he's beginning to figure it out. Of the import rookies on the D-line I think Fletcher is now looking the most consistent.

We need to go back to drafting OL consistently.

The only silver lining to Friday night's disastrous outing (and third in their last four home games) was seeing Oliveira become the fifth Canadian tailback in CFL history to crack 6K rushing yards.

Nothing else comes to mind. Kudos to Brady!

Agreed
And trying to find a big talented Canadian receiver rather than this endless list of linebackers and special team DBs

Yes, gone are the days when teams fear coming to Winnipeg to play because it means a sure loss, we have hardly been stellar at home this year. Its tough staying upbeat and cheering wildly when your team keeps screwing up. Let's hope they figure this out sooner vs later

[Pete]

Its baffling , cause the team is coming out flat maybe they are taking the fans for granted.

The impact of the energy and  leadership Andrew Harris gave the team is sorely missed and never was replaced. He literally willed this team to win. We haven't had that since he left on offense. Brady tries but spends more time whining than jacking the team up and without that energy we come out flat. Football is a game of intensity and we don't come out intense at all

I hear what you're saying, I just think it's overstating the impact Harris had in terms of being a source of energy though.  He was an impact player, and definitely a source of energy and drive for the team.  I just don't think that is the part that has been missing (the energy for the team, pumping them up).

  Strevy was even more that energy guy that got the whole team going, more so than Harris, and we were still losing with him back pumping up the team.  And being behind the bench - believe me, Strevy brought the energy, more than anyone I've ever seen.

I would put Willie into that category. Not only on game day, but also at practice. Willie keeps the energy following.

TSN camera showed Brady sitting on the bench at the end of the game and he was fuming mad, I've never seen him that upset before.  Unfortunately when a team is failing on multiple fronts there isn't a whole lot a running back can do to change the situation by himself.

I saw that too and that's a very bad look for Brady, it makes him look selfish, he isn't mad we lost, he's mad he didn't get the ball more, well, so is everyone else. Do you ever see Demski sitting and pouting, Pokey Wilson,no, speaking out against what the offense is running, no, they're team guys, they suck it up, and stay positive for their teammates, not Brady, Brady is all about Brady, and I for one am sick of it and his attitude.
