Ya, 2nd bad playoff showing in a row.

I'm not sure Rourke will be any better in '25, but at least you have the hope of him finally finding his mojo and being able to win the playoffs.  VAJ is a known quantity, and that quantity is he won't get you to the cup.

More attrition.  Anyone know what happened to Cox?

colossal failure for Bc in a home cup year.  signing rourke may have pooched this team.  we will never know..they suck

BC sucks at the 2 min drill.  In fact, BC just sucks.

I'm fine with the VAJ EZ shot.  They needed a TD there or they were out of time.

Their 2 noob RECs didn't help them any.  Their corps is way worse than ours: our rookies stepped up, and our vets are better.

They went all in.

They may have done better in the regular season, but I can't see them winning the Grey Cup with VAJ and this defence.

They took the chance they needed to when everything was on the line and it didn't work out. It also won't work out for 8 other teams. Oh well.

Well, good game SSK, I knew you'd beat BC (see my pickems).  And I prefer to face SSK in the WDF.

SSK lost a critical LT who won't be back.  Maybe a DL too (we shall see).  But they have Lanier in the hopper, so it won't hurt them much.

Harris got hit twice, maybe he'll develop an ingrown toenail.

Now we get the dream match up in WPG in 1 week.  Even better, we'll bring a bunch of $$ to the city as some greenies make the treak.

Calgary or Edmonton seems most likely.

Sask or Hammy in the running.

A minuscule amount of money if a few can get tickets.

That they did!  And this shoddy performance cost them going $300k+ over the cap and major off-season punishment from the league.

Their huge acquisitions did nothing (Rourke) and nearly nothing (Betts, 1 sack).

All that for nothing.  Let the GC frenzy on stubhub commence!

Always hard to get everyone to attend a "cold" game.  Yes, that means anything under 5C at KO.

WDF resale market for older STH people will be lit.  There will be a decent showing of greenies here.  Not as many as Blue goes to Regina, but enough.
