Overrated? Easy question. The whole team. I still don't understand why so many people here thought the Flames would be a for-sure playoff team and maybe even a contender within a year or two. This team is hot garbage and our GM just hired a trash coach with no system or special teams experience. Not to mention the massive contracts he gave to "star" players that will saddle this team for many more years. In our imaginations Johnny Hockey, Monahan, and Bennett are the next Kane and Toews, but in reality they are not even close. We have some decently skilled players who think too highly of themselves and their abilities. They don't play as a team and they lack grit, character, and determination. Back passes, deking through 3 players, and over passing are just some of the problems. As the games continue, I find Johnny becomes more one dimensional. I hope I am wrong/overreacting and the team finds a way to turn it around, but my gut says they won't or at least they won't until it is too late (like last year).

I'm finding the product the team puts out rather boring win or lose. I'm also having a tough time watching games or even caring anymore. For the prices they charge I'm glad I don't have season tickets because right now they are not worth the price of admission. You want to watch an entertaining team? Watch the Stampeders. Unfortunately this city thinks too highly of themselves and they feel the CFL is not up to their standards. Sad.
