I personally checked out of this season after the Winnipeg game. Meaningless games at the the end of the season are exactly that.......meaningless. The only thing I want to see is BLM winning the MOP award which he richly deserves despite Suitor believing it is only a race between Oliveira and Rolan Milligan. As for a non-playoff performer should never be an MOP that precedent was set long ago when Jimmy Edwards won the award in 1977 despite the Ticats not making the playoffs that year.

Is Milligan actually having that good of a season? I feel like i'm taking crazy pills when i see these rider nuts slobbering over how he's leading the league in INTs and did you know he also plays special teams?  |

He will win the best defensive player award this year. Tyrice Beverette will be the Eastern nominee. |

This was the most disengaged I've ever been. Winning streak helped a bit.Maybe it's an age thing. Dunno. A worrisome trend. Cats need to knock my socks off next year.

Let's start next season with a season opener at HOME for a change, preferably against Calgary. Can't be startin' the season 0 and 5. |

I checked out after the Winnipeg loss as well though I had to miss the game and once they lost that it would have taken a small miracle to make the playoffs. My disinterest has grown ever season since 2021 as after that Grey Cup fiasco this team got progressively worse talent wise.
I want to know if it is the team requesting the start the season on the road and play 4-6 games away before a home game or if the league really has it out for the Hamilton franchise. The scheduling has been completely ridiculous for the last 5 plus seasons in my opinion.
I think for me to really get interested and invested the franchise will have to hit a home run this off season. Not to be negative but I am not going to hold my breath.

I've been feeling less & less engaged with the team since the end of 2019. Losing repeatedly does that. After the season started so badly, I was pretty much checked out because digging themselves out of that hole was gonna be ridiculously tough.
Not really looking for anything out of this game, but starting strong next year is a MUST.

Oh ya, hell of a defensive player, I just don't understand the hype for the ACTUAL M.O.P. what the hell am i missing? |

CF-L has been suspended. Anybody know why? Until they announce something otherwise I'll choose to believe he's attending to a personal matter and that's what they usually do for those sorts of things (births, deaths, illnesses etc) I'm fine being corrected, but until there's news out there, it's probably nothing |

Bo broke the record for passing yards.
Dunbar wen over 1000 yards.
Timmeh dropped 3 passes.
Secondary got torched.
Linebackers are invisible.
Pretty-much sums up the season.

Bo, Bell, Dunbar & Smith had good games. The LBs are an area of glaring weakness that needs to be addressed in the off season. Moxey is far better at SAM than corner. We need a very experienced MLB but I don't know who that player is or who'll be available.
Secondary without Peters is sub-par. Sunderland had perhaps his worst game. Leonard has to go, his half hearted shove rather than a tackle on one play had me screaming at the TV.
Fix the above & our pass rush will sort itself out, although we could still upgrade in FA.
On O, I'm largely happy, but White's inconsistent play must be addressed.
Bo deserves the MOP IMHO.

They obviously need a lot of change on defence. Looked like a Washington coached defence for most of the game last night. Everybody knows we need lots of changes on defence but then the annual problem becomes "they need time to gel" which we all know always takes half the season for the Ticats. Imperative that they get off to a fast start next year.
