Hard for any goalie to steal games when only the top line scores. The depth on this team looked good a month ago. Now, not at all.

Arniel's gotta be frustrated.

Yuck —— another game ending on the low end.
It seems astounding how dried up our secondary scoring has
become. We are definitely just a one line team. It seemed encouraging, at least on paper, outta TC but the results have been extremely inconsistent for much too long.

Four more road games and hopefully the team can pull out wins before playing at home. Our goaltending has to start stealing a win or more

Comrie isn't the guy that's going to steal us to many games. He's more the guy that keeps us in a game.

2nd. line has one top 6 forward. Also, 2nd. unit PP doesn't have a lot of finish. I think it's time to make a move.

Kavis was a WFC coach once??

IIRC, he was the DC in 2010. Then the team upgraded to Tim Burke for the 2011 season.

That was the beginning of the end of Printers.

He never played another game in the CFL. The Bombers broke him that day.

WPG has had a SY specialist for the entire Mafia tenure.  It's part of our M.O.  And teams with a specialist who is good tend to do better.  See: SSK with their unstoppable freight train.

Sadly, people called me crazy last offseason when I said we should jettison Streveller and go after Tommy Stevens as our SY guy.

4-7 in the month of November. There is something glaringly wrong with this team.

[But it stands to reason.]

But it stands to reason.  Assume he's as clueless an OC as everyone here seems to think.  Assume he couldn't draw up a play to save his life.  Wouldn't someone like that be thrilled to accept ideas & advice from everyone?  Especially when he explicitly says that's what he's doing?

Does it? I don't think Hogan is clueless as a coach but I think it's more than fair to say he was in way over his as OC. I doubt he has all the tools in his toolbox to be a competent in that role at this time, and I think that's evidenced by how consistently inept the offense was last season. There also seemed to be a lack of adjustments or changes made to address the deficiencies and issues during the season. It's a big jump from position coach to OC; the latter requires a ton of knowledge.

From what I can tell, there was a glaring lack of cohesiveness with the offense this past season - with everyone involved. I have to wonder if that's what led to Collaros and Oliveira expressing their frustration during the season.

It's just very strange how it all played out. To be clear, I don't think it's all on Hogan. The Mafia gambling on a rookie OC during a GC-hosting campaign was pretty disastrous. All three of them are accountable for that miscalculation, IMO.

As for Jackson, he was brought in to help but then he missed TC. I also never got the impression that he had much involvement or input in the overall offensive system; perhaps that was a byproduct of his missing TC. Maybe I'm completely wrong in that regard but he seemed like a bystander more than anything.
