I was praying for a Hamilton win and an Esks loss. This franchise needs to stop the cycle of backing into the playoffs. It needs an overhaul, not more of the same. When was the last time we finished first?

I have my doubts that Tillman was going anywhere regardless.

So Joseph, Jyles Burris, who you take?

Have to agree, Tillman is still in the early stages of his plan. Regardless of a couple questionable moves I don't think he was going to be tossed.

Take the playoffs anyway you can get them.
