the right receiver likely could have made that...and who knows if he had the liberty there to call an audible....they may have said this is what we want.....hard to say....But Perfect high point throw there....or high backside toss...Sterns isnt the guy for that kind of play....so the playcall design right from get go was destined to fail regardless...I put that all on Hogan

I do agree the play design wasn't great, but I really believe that in that situation the QB really needs to be cognizant that there can be no interception on that play. If you don't get the matchup you desire on that play you take the incompletion. A QB has to have that situational awareness, and the OC needs to remind him as well. I have no issue with the play call. Take a look see if you can get a guy lost in coverage, but if you dont the fans should be getting a souvenir. An interception on a 50/50 ball is on the QB. That is a throw that should never have happened.

yeah...as what I trying to convey....was wrong side of endzone to throw that pass too....had to basically be a perfect pass, but even then the mismatch may have still sunk it

The QB needed to either audible off that play, or throw the ball into the 3rd row or somewhere that only his guy had a remote shot at. A 50/50 was a stupid throw to make in that game situation.

oh agree...and comes down to position on field and player package...that should have been tossed to opposite side of field and to a mismatch in our advantage...I like a coach with plums....that tho should have been a call at the line that if a certain coverage was shown there was a second option....I dont think we had anything other than take that shot...but who knows....I think Hogan needs to take a backseat right now to Jackson even if they dont officially announce it

No you can't. It's a throw that was unecessary, and that is execution. Just because you call a passing play doesn't mean the QB has to put up a 50/50 ball.

Yeah should have been a call that could been changed at line when they saw who/what coverage...or had 2 options...that was a 1 option throw it there regardless of what was seen on field...and the QB gets to wear the horns...If that was Lawler...Schoen....heck even Wheatfall that catch may have been made, ZC has had a lot of success and TD's scored with throws way worse than that but got bailed out...Strev didnt get bailed out...It wasn't that bad a throw really and a bigger...more apt to win 50/50 battle balls likely makes that catch...our receiver on that play is not that kinda guy

Timing of the play was the issue. With three minutes left - the Bombers could have run 2 running plays and then kicked a FG, going up 9 points with then 2 minutes left. Much better situation. If the Bombers scored a TD, they would have been up 13 points...which is STILL a 2 score game.... there was little difference in either scenario... ultimately - it was a terrible coaching decision - followed up by a bad read and poor execution.

100% you can. Play calls should absolutely take match ups into consideration so the execution is more likely than not. Our shortest WR going for what should have been a back of the endzone catch against a corner who had what 4 or 5 inches on him is a bad match up. The execution was also poor. Hindsight is what it is...but in that situation even if you ignore the clock and the score...to also ignore the way your QB has been playing as well as the previous turnovers (vs CGY) in the redzone it just makes the call even worse.

Not going to argue with that, but at that point of the game if we choose to be aggressive I am ok with it too. It turned out badly, but could have been the nail in the coffin making it garbage time if it works. I am OK with the play call at that time of the game, but the QB need to launch it thru the back of the end zone if the guy is not wide open all by himself. That's where i have the problem with the play. Try it out on 1st down, if the play is not there fine. We didn't need yardage so have a look at salting it away. Streveler needed to have more cognizance of the situation and the OC needs to make him more aware of the in game situational result he is looking for. The problem I have is not with the play call, it is with the players lack of situational awareness and overall execution. If Strev drops back sees that his man is not open and launches it into the 3rd row, we are hailing him as savvy and Hogan as smart for taking a look at maybe salting it away.

but also have to consider circumstance...down and distance...position...I agree....we have to be more ballsy (said it many times myself) but also do it at appropriate/opportune times....that really was neither....and going up 2 scores guaranteed with time left on clock...was the better move in that particular game....opening quarter?.....sure....Hogan is out of his league right now, and then vilifying a player on top of it...bad look...especially when Osh's Mantra is to not criticize a player even when warranted...tho he also never owns up to making a wrong call either...so this incident isnt really that shocking and may be indicative that things all around are not as tight as they were, or as some like to believe, and maybe some frustrations are bubbling out

We could easily have played very conservatively as well, and maybe should have, but if you are going to go out and continue through and play then you see what the defence gives you and play from there.

well the choosen receiver too for that call may have also been an issue...still though with leagues best RB would it not been better to take 2 runs at it and depending how close u were on 3rd down gamble?.....or just kick the 3 and nake it a 2 score game?.... All throughout a game a defence will present looks that can be exploited...that being said they also are playing the game too and can make a play...and the DB there made a solid play....and had a size mismatch to boot...

I tend to agree cuz ppl ***** when they don’t go for it and kick the fg always. I mean it’s kinda lose lose all the time.

Every play call in the world is wrong if it doesn't work out? Nope. Hogan's right, the defence presented us with pass being the right call. Execution was the problem not play call. Can't blame the play call for poor execution.

I think Bridges had a really good camp and started the season well, but got into his own head and started making egregious mental errors. When that happens to players at a position of strength, yep you let them walk.

I wanted to move on from Zach and keep Dru Brown but if you don’t think Zach is the best current QB on this roster, you’re simply on crack. I just have a memory and the Streveler from 5 years ago hasn’t gotten better, you could make the case he has gotten worse. The teams best chance to win is with Zach whether people can accept that or not. I’d prefer we moved on a couple years ago, we didn’t. Streveler can’t throw a ball 8 yards accurately. 160 yards a game is what really averages in his career. He’s not some rookie. Hell he’s a year or so younger than Fajardo. I mean, he’s not the guy and neither is terry Wilson so by default Zach is the best QB on the roster and Does give the team the best chance to win. Streveler just isn’t a starting QB and won’t be. Dude is broken. They broke him last year and he hasn’t recovered.

I think anyone could see that the Riders will go as far as Harris can take them. He is a good QB WHEN HEALTHY....and there is the rub. The guy is 40 years old and the chances of him finishing this season have got to be pretty low. He has been a faberge egg over the past several years and that was always going to be the Riders achilles heel this season. I really honestly believe that Harris will not last the season, and I'm not cheering for a QB injury to anyone, but that is the likely reality. Are they kind of smoke and mirrors? Yea....they aren't as impressive as their record but their record is all that matters in the end. I just don't believe for one second that they can keep it up down the stretch. Like you, I would be shocked if they were the hot hand by seasons end. I don't think SSK is particularly well built to hand us our asses. However, I don't think we are particularly well built to hand them theres either. I expect a couple of close games with the football gods likely deciding both of them.

I’m surprised bridges didn’t get better. He was around all last year. Seemingly got worse. Had 1 good game. But if a year 2 player getting worse, yup, let him go.

Bridges ultimate demise is no surprise after the abomination he called coverage vs. Calgary. He was Calgary's X factor in their victories. Pressure Vernon Adams check, move him out of the pocket check, cover the receivers downfied because all Vernon Adams knows is to launch it as far as he can throw when he is pressured....nope Bridges not within 20 yards of the receiver he was running with moments ago because he stopped to see what was happening. He broke the cardinal rule of DBing several times, stuff you learn in Pop Warner, run with your receiver until the whistle blows. You can look back as a DB but the feet gotta keep moving.

If your interested Diago Pavia who is on the neg list is featured on an episode of SEC Football Any Given Saturday on Netflix. Was the QB when Vandy upset #1 Alabama last year. Would fit right in on this team.

PFF had him charted at 23 snaps which is why I used that number. He had 7 carries for 11 yards and they tried to swing one pass to him. Completely ineffective against a pretty mid defense against the rush. Maybe they got away from him as the game got away from the stamps but he should have been a bigger focal point
