Stanley Bryant is a mere shadow of the O-lineman that he used to be and he can no longer provide adequate pass protection.

Rourke needing a reminder why nobody throws at Nichols.

Need to put 3 here at least if not a major, can't keep expecting the D to play like this with no help from the O

Haven't seen the game but man oh man, 5/17 48 0 2 that's not a pretty stat line in the least...

Rourke looks bad. Not a surprise with limited practise time.

Edit: Rourke having a rough go. But his footwork and arm are unmatched to anyone else in CFL.

Hard to judge whether the Bombers have turned the corner with how rusty Rourke looked but the big thing for Winnipeg is it looks like Zach is back, not making big mistakes. The West remains wide open.

Bombers are turning the corner for sure. They will make the playoffs in the west. I didn't expect Rourke to light things up but he looked pretty bad last night. That's probably due to not having enough time to get up to speed. It's kind of a shame that the Stamps couldn't take advantage of the teams around them slumping and there's a real possibility that the Stamps finish last in the west this season.

The Stamps won 5 games last year and made the playoffs. It's not shocking they are struggling.

The coaching cap and max exodus of talent was big. For a while we fielded an all star team for years.

Chris Jones is the official CFL cockroach. I don't understand this hire. Jones defenses have been abysmal for some time and the Elks were right behind the Ti-Cats for worst defense under Jones. I guess the Ti-Cats want the corner the market on worst coaches in the CFL.

He must be an absolutely amazing interview and somehow gets people to forget all the negative things he’s been responsible for. He probably has an excuse for everything blaming anyone but himself. You’d think everyone would know better by now.

It’s actually impressive

It really is impressive when you think about the mess he always leaves behind when he exits an organization. It's baffling to me that he keeps getting hired. The Ti-Cats are going to miss the playoffs regardless this season so I wonder if this is an audition to take the HC job in the offseason? That organization is a total gong show.

My friend said this exact thing last night. It truly is baffling he's able to continue to find employment after sewering yet another franchise.

The latest Podskee Wee Wee podcast episode is good if you want something to listen too.

I wouldn't even call it a rant so much as recap of the last 58 years of mediocrity that is the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Josh Smith loves the Tiger- Cats and he’s being honest.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, especially the breakdown of the moves they've made over the years and rationale behind them. What was interesting, he recorded that before they got crushed by Edmonton.

He had a cup of coffee with the Cleveland Browns too.
