Blue In BC

Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on November 08, 2026, 03:24:46 PMDemski was banged up all season and if you re-watch the games you can usually see when those injuries occurred.  It has a lot to do with his style of play, he is not as careful as White or as elusive as Pokey and he tends to get hit hard quite often. 

I think with the winter off he'll return in good health and provide at least one more  season and remain a valuable contributor.  He's still the best receiver they have at making those homerun catches that often end in the endzone.

As for White, he's efficient if not spectacular, he's fast, runs good routes, has decent hands and stays healthy. He fits in well as the #3 or 4 receiver if he's not paid as an elite receiver, no problem.  I'd put Pokey and Singer ahead of him for their ability to make the more difficult catches and gain more YAC and Demski about even because of his advanced age and wear.

Demski is banged most of the time in most recent seasons. Yes it's due to his style of play, but we need him healthy at the end of a given season and that's when he's the least healthy.

I agree the age and tear have become cumulative issues. He can certainly play and be productive and we don't have a current replacement.
Time for a new start

I think Condell had a terrible first half of the season and it got mostly better as it went on. Quite a few notable head scratching decisions at key times in many games, though. Overall I wouldn't characterize Condell as being the reason we're not playing next week, although I wasn't particularly blown away by his talent either. We have bigger fish to fry to get back to respectibility.

That said, I think if we had last year's roster with one less year of aging and we had Condell instead of Hogan, much better chance we're playing in the big game at home than our one and done in Montreal.

Meh, last season the Bombers limped into the playoffs as the last place qualifier, the  same as this season, in no world were they going to get far against superior competition.

Clearly Younger needs to take a demotion and have Hall run things again. Our defence at least had some respectability under Hall. Right now, it's a joke.

I'm just still mad how we did literally nothing to try and get to the Grey Cup the year we were hosting it. And the. Got the pleasure of paying to see the Riders win in our barn.

This will never happen under MOS, MOS thinks the world of JY

Say what you want about Condell, but it wasn't scheme that lost the game at the end, it was execution. Mtl executed on that Zach fumble and we didn't. So we lost.

Condell got his chance and was driving perfectly and mtl was reeling. I bet they had an open guy in the ez on a double move when Zach fumbled. That's why they needed the extra moment. Demski makes that block and we take a solid lead.

Kind of sad we blew it.
Never go full Johnston!

The continued criticism of Brady is ridiculous.  His average per carry was a career high.  There is zero issues here, full stop.
 
I would keep all the coaches and retool the players.  The players play, Dave Ritchie.

Improve the OL and QB and everything else will fall in place.  Lots of work to do but not as bad as it seamed at low points this season.  We played reasonable in the playoffs.

The suggestion to not support the team because you don't like the OC is outrageous.  Bomber for life even if we don't win another ever! True blue baby.

Ya but Brady is fumbling about as much as Grant now. Look at how that lost Toronto the playoff.

It's not so much get rid of Brady, it's teach him to hold onto the freakin ball. We were able to improve grants ball security when he was here. Do the same with Brady. And Brady has zero excuses, because he's jacked in his upper body vs puny grant.

Someone pointed out on a gdt that when Brady fumbled he was laughing about it on the sideline. That's a horrible look in a playoff game.

Besides the recent fumbles, Brady was exceptional in the post season.
Never go full Johnston!

The decision on Condell won't be based on one game, its the overall results day in day out
If a team doesn't execute effectively on one play its one thing but on a continuous basis its a coaching issue.
Results speak volumes, we didnt score enough points, we didnt maintain ball possession, and we couldn't/didnt adjust in game

Condell did have some qreat quarters of play calling but the lack of consistency was w a major issue. We can blame the oline but its a coaches job to know your teams capabilities and make adjustments. Mtrl BC and Edm are much better at this

I don't think there is a decision to be made on Condell. He's under contract. He's our guy.
My wife is amazing!

I heard some commentator remark on the lack of offence points scored, maybe Bauming, the same problem has persisted through 3 OC's now, the common denominator has been Collaros.  His stats in playoff game have been pretty poor as well, rarely throwing for more than 1 TD in most games against at least 2 interceptions.

From O'Sheas season ender it didn't sound like any consideration was being given to replace Condell, he simply stated he's signed for next season.  Firing coordinators every season can spook the coaching community and make the organization look unstable.
