And here we are, reduced to wishing & hoping for NFL rejects.  Sigh.

1. Were 3-1 and not reduced to anything

2. There's always that you're going to have some late season adds. Back in the day you were hoping for random NFL talent, these days there's so much CFL content going south that we're hoping for our own players back. You're taking something that's always been a part of the CFL experience and twisting it into a negative for some reason. Go get some sun today. Read a book.

Late season adds are usually just added to the extended PR. Very few actual CFL players that return after NFL option year deals.

Sure, it happens like Rourke and Betts returning last year, but it's not a significant factor. I'd like and think we'll see O. Wilson returning but he's just one player. We might also see Elgersma but he's not a CFL vet and more likely to sit on the PR for 2025.
One game at a time.

You were saying?  That game was gonna be lost even if Zach was in.  On the bright side, it's probably more that CGY is "just that good" than "we totally suck".
