Everyone is upset ...

I'm not upset. 5 Grey Cup appearances in a row with a couple of wins will do that for you.

From Farhan:

The #Elks have asked for permission to speak to #BCLions OC Jordan Maksymic for their vacant head coaching position. No request has been made yet for Rick Campbell. @CFLonTSN @TSN_Sports

What request would be needed for Rick Campbell?  They fired him, he's a "free agent"

So easy to dump on Nichols after a bad outing.  Been nothing short of great for us in general.

I think the strong teams - Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg, focus on retaining as many of their impact FA's as they can vs go the FA route, vs the weaker teams, who need to 'poach' an impact player from one of the stronger rosters in an attempt to make their rosters stronger.

I don't see Winnipeg, Toronto or Montreal losing many of the quality FA's, as they are solid franchises with good clubhouses,  hence they won't suffer a huge talent lose and will remain at the top of the league. The weaker teams, will pay the big ticket for 1 or 2 FA, yet still don't have the roster depth to move up to a top seed position. Hamilton and Ottawa have been weak for a few years now and I don't see that changing. Same for Calgary and Edmonton, they're such a mess god himself couldn't turn their teams around.

The trouble with success as we know well, is that with it players want to be financially rewarded. Coxie in toronto for example, alexander in mtrl. Ly toronto lost Pickett, Barlow and more.
Some FA will be available.
I will say mtrl has done a great job so far in being proactive to extend key players and have just resigned Beverette. It seems the closer a player gets to free agency the more expensive it gets

Oh gotcha.

I'd let him rot in BC before I traded for him then. this is BC's mess, let's see how eager they are to trade him and I'd let them initiate discussions.

Why would anyone trade assets for VA?? Why not let him go to FA?? Yes, you run the risk of not getting him, but you also are paying a premium for getting him. I only see Calgary and Edmonton in the trade for FA conversation, but those are both bottom dwelling teams lacking a deep talent pool to trade, unless they trade one of their Qb
s as a #2 in BC and some draft picks

He isn't a FA.

The other 2 weren't his fault...he didn't miss the block that lead to the blocked field goal and he didn't blow the coverage on the Montreal TD pass.

He DID have us in this game until he split his finger open, 17-13 at the time I believe. Tells the coaches he can't grip the ball and then is asked to throw 4 long passes for 4 picks and a 24 point swing.

Seems to me it wasn't him calling the plays, seems to me he told everyone he couldn't grip the ball, why we continued on with that pass heavy game plan after the 1st, the 2nd , the 3rd and then the 4th interception is sn indictment of incompetence in the highest degree by the man with the headset on!!! Now that guy is supposedly being courted by BC, good, go there and screw up that team even more than it is now!!

Xactly, he'll do whatever the boss tells him to, it's his team.

Welcome to the Ed Hervey Gong Show...we've seen this one before, it ends in disaster. Poor Edmonton fans, more misery on the way for them.
