Condell needs to go. Fans should force same by not renewing season tickets

Fans should not renew season tickets until he is out the the door

Well that's a bit excessive. Ya, Condell should take a lot of the blame for the season, but let's remember it's his first season here. Normally guys get a bit of grace. Maybe our players had trouble with his system.

And he did get us close to a win deep in the playoffs in a divisional final. Maybe even one Zach fumble and Demski whiff away from a GC. That's actually not what I'd consider "bad".

Did you watch our season? lol

I wonder who decided to not play Singer until about game 13?

Without knowing who might replace Condell it's too early to suggest that.

OTOH, I'd fire Younger tonight and have been saying that since TC. Soft coverage. We must give up more 2nd and very long then any team in the league.

Not supporting the players and the rest of the club is a stupid way to show you don't like their choice of OC.

I don't like the removal of the 55 yard line and other things make more sense, but one coordinator...nah.

Did you watch us almost win a divisional final with about 4 mins left in the 4th today?

As they say, what have you done for me lately. And "lately" they almost got to a cup. Like it or not, this gives Mafia cover for a putrid regular season and many questionable choices.

About Singer, maybe he didn't show well in TC. He must not have. I'm guessing he worked on things and is better for it now. He has a bright future. Glad he is on our roster and not others.

And don't blame Condell for Singer being off the roster!! That is 100% a MOS thing and a MOS call. Players must earn their way on. They always have.

I thought he looked very good in pre-season. Sure, rookies need time to develop and I'm glad we found him. That said it was never a good idea to go with 3 Canadian receivers. We could have kept Wheatfall or any of the other imports we let leave in free agency, to start the season.

Those guys didn't show well for most of the season.

Whether we tied the game or went ahead with a TD: It was inevitable that we would allow the Als to march downfield for the winning score.

The fumble was worse field position than if we kicked a FG or had to kick off after a TD. And yet, they still marched downfield and we couldn't stop them.

So no, we found a new way to lose. We were never really in the game. We never had the lead. Brady fumbles and it cost us 3 points or maybe more. Collaros fumbles an it costs us 3 points or more. Then we allow the Als to score.

More importantly did we look prepared across the 3 aspects of the team? Again!!

So if you see the comment at the bottom of my posts " no more excuses ". That's what you're suggesting. Close means squat.

I think Singer's delayed appearance was based more on the ratio of the O-line than the Natl. receivers he was competing with, he became a starter when Eli took over at Center. 4 of the 5 Natl. receivers were not integrated into the offence this season and were mostly ignored, that's on Condell, good luck bringing any of them back.

Should probably move to 4 import receivers + Demski anyway and prepare for his retirement soon, solve the ratio elsewhere.

GOLDMEMBER · November 07, 2026, 11:31:49 PM

Both coodinators need to go!

dd · November 07, 2026, 11:42:38 PM

Chill out on canning Condell. We came with 3 feet of a throw to Demski and a missed block/fumble in beating this Montreal team. I think our season was an improvement over last year, we have some up and coming superstars in Singer and Major Williams and Fletcher, and its been a long time since we could say that.

We also had the option of not having Ayers on the AR. Even then we were still starting 8 or 9 Canadians most of the time. It was a choice that was not made.

If you want a Burn The Witches guy today, it's Demski. He whiffs on a TD catch that Snead & Philpot probably make. Then he whiffs on the key block that causes the fumble that takes away another TD or FG.

Brady's the backup witch with his early momentum-killing fumble. No other RB in history fumbles in every single post-season game.

Demski is also NEVER open in the middle or flat. He's either behind coverage on the rare occasion for the home-run, or he's invisible. He may indeed be getting near the end. He is getting old for a REC.

I disagree. Demski makes that TD or Zach doesn't fumble and we TD or tie, it completely fires up our D & ST. What happened was massively deflating because we all knew the game was probably lost.

You think the D doesn't play better if we go up by 4 there?? 1/3 to 1/2 the game is morale and momentum. Instead we gave ALL of that to MTL. So of course they come out fired up to have a long drive.

All things are NOT equal when comparing scenarios. I bet we get that TD there, limit MTL to a FG, and then hold the ball or get another FG to win by 1 or 4. The game was RIGHT THERE. All of the wind was coming out of MTL.
