This is what I expect and want to see out of our beloved Cats this year:
Overall:
10-8
2nd in East
Home Playoff Game
Advance to Eastern Final
10 East All Stars
5 CFL All Stars
2 Players up for year end awards representing the east
I think we should be happy with 8-8 -- a season to build on. This team probably isn't ready for prime-time yet. Either way, the team should at least be competitive, and my only real expectation is to have a very strong defense.
I expect 7 wins at the bare minimum. I think we all deserve that for putting up with this BS this past decade. I'm also concerned about the future. I really don't wanna see 10 wins this year, us make it to the east final and lose then next year 2 wins, then 3 after that. I wanna see 2009- 7+ wins 2010- 9+ wins 2011- 10+ wins + grey cup. 2012- 10+ wins and so on. Consistency is key, show us a few winning seasons and you'll get the old Ticat fans back, the same that cheered on Covington and Mosca, and McManus and Flutie. The Ticats new dynasty starts in '09 cats. Bring us a cup! :rockin:
What I expect and demand is a team that cares. This quality hass been sadly been missing for a very long time. Our record isn't really that important to me so long as the team grows steadily and the calls for change for the sake of change doesn't destroy the development of yet another young QB. I expect this will be a rocky road and Porter will have some major mistakes to learn from. I expect the Oline will have some pretty tough times early on in the season and that our 2 1st rounders will see action before they are ready due to injury. I expect the defense will be the best part of our team due to the difficulty of yet another offencive team being built. All in all, play hard and let the chips fall but PLAY HARD
Ticats have to win the Grey Cup to keep the streak going,and this years Team looks to be sound in all aspects of the game a good chance to pull it off!!! Oskee wee wee
I truly believe....we are seeing a Cinderella Story, in the making.
12 and 6...or 13 and 5.
A soild play-off spot....and then, anything can happen.
Look out CFL, the Cats are back in 2009. :thup:
I'm sure there are guys that cared over the years but sadly they didn't prove to me the majority. Face it, this team has been bad for a very long time and player after player has left town to success in his new digs. That sir is a clear sign of desire to leave town not desire to play here. This attitude being purged more than anything is what I expect. I want players that want to be here and play like it. I'm sick and tired of the excuses
Ni doubt the Cats will be alot better this year but 12 wins is a pipe dream...they just don't have the Quarterbacking......Porter is talented but raw and a work in progress and Glenn won't last the season....
Defense has a lot of holes too...
More wins and a much more competitive team. Definately a playoff game (either home or away is ok with me). I don't want my ulcer to get any worse than it is lol
Don't do a burnout like the argos did a couple years back. From making it to the east final to face Winnepeg to a 4-14 record the next season with little signs of improvement.
