That was the 3rd time we played them in our last 5 games, though. going 0-3 by a total deficit of 43 points. The last game in a series like that should be the hardest for Calgary to win. Dropping back-to-back games vs the same team by 21 points each, then 2 games after that dropping a 3rd by 1 point isn't a positive for us.

yeah....zero depth with any experience then Even tho neither were gonna be all world game breakers but Mayala and Hakunavanhu would both have given us if anything some non-import depth.... and both have been starters and had success at times....but we just stood pat The fact we don't even seem to be trying to get better or try guys out is troubling...is it that our brain trust just thinks what we have is good and legit?...or is it guys are saying thanks...but no thanks to us??

if wilson makes the nfl pr, our wr core is cooked for the year.

i didn’t hear of any practice reports this week. combine that with the 4 days between games with 2 flights, plus one day of film review from last week and i bet the “walk through” was mostly airport/hotel. It was probably two days of film and team meetings to unpack the last game and install for this week. I can’t see any significant changes in execution, prep, tackling etc.

I'm more curious/concerned about our prepedness nd if we actually have done something...anything different to try and show we can adapt and actually game plan accordingly I have my doubts....and I fully expect us to look good with a drive or 2 outta the gate....seem dialed in on defence...and then just watch it slowly escape us as we have no ability or thought of adjusting anything....and doing some legit in-game coaching to secure the win....hope I wrong but.....................

yeah....banking on Schoen being a legit number one this yr was a bad bad decision...really when you look at it...stupid as he wasn't even a yr removed from injury alone until what...week 4? So for our plan to replace Lawler and essentially Schoen's production we sign a guy (White Jr) who had an even worse injury than Schoen, re-upped Schoen ( we should have just 6 gamed him 1 or 2 times to ensure he was a bit more re-habbed) picked up Sterns who couldn't crack Sask roster (and last yr we had a better unit than them) and at best is a nice 3rd or 4th import option, and threw a big chunk at Mitchell and then promptly sat him as we made an excuse or 3 about him...or just didn't know how to use and implement him (take your pick) We brought in a nice group of new guys, then promptly cut them all and kept a guy Case who couldn't stay on roster here last yr, and when did get back on showed exactly why he couldn't claim a spot again...so really have to question the smarts and capabilty of our coaching and management at this point...cause man thats just brutal

Why does reality insist on being so assertive? Just gets depressing! Anyway, any given game day. ott despite having some good pieces, is not a scary team imo. You can't allow yourself to play down to them; they eat that up. But I don't think they have the grit to win tough, ugly games against us.

I agree with TB's thoughts - IMHO Ottawa has a large advantage over us if you look at their receivers vs. our D Backs! - It may be a long day for our defense as I doubt we will get much pressure on Dru. And they will probably get lots of pressure or Zac!

Boy, that looks like a tough depth chart to expect much out of. It'll be interesting to see if Smith or Allen gets decent reps this game, or if it all continues to go to Kelly. And we waste another di, again. Best hope for this game is Ott finds a way to struggle against us. It's tough to put up back to back big offensive out puts. Keys to the game, Find a way to slow down Ottawa. Secondary looks shakey, and ottawa has a good group of wrs. Plus brown and stanback. We can't win a shoot out here, so the D has to find a way to drag ottawa into an ugly grinding game. Find a way to sustain offense. We have to find a way to keep drives alive and stop going 2 and out. Teams X factor. Special teams is really where we aren't banged up, and have a lot of roster value invested. Vaval went off a few games ago, and Sergio has been outstanding this year. We will need that unit to pave the way today. Players to watch, Vaval, Lawson jr, Kramdi, Smith, Allen, Kelly, Jjones, Adams, Ayers, Mitchell, and always Qb1.

With all the injuries it looks like it will be a track meet with few defensive stops. Ottawa's strength is their offence, so gotta give them the advantage.

Brady Oliviera

Lawler

Redblacks dline hasnt been great, we should be able to run, and provide better protection for Zac which we differenceill make all the difference. Brown isnt as mobile as some weve faced so hopefully our dline can dial it up. Go Blue!

Study on NFL players says coming off ACL players don't return to same rate of both participation and production until year 3 post-injury on average....that is the guys that last long enough to get to year 3.

As always on us this season....target the corners. I hope they get Vaval off the D pretty quick and it's just some depth chart glitch. Give Allen a shot and see what he can do.

nor are we....so thats a wash Ottawa talent alone on offence compared to us may be the difference...

Last week was a 1 point loss, to IMO the best team in the west.

Go Blue.

Tommy Condell is a great OC

Ottawa isn't a well coached team. They have some talented pieces but Dyce isn't a good head coach. Not that our coaches have been lighting the world on fire this season but, if we lose to the RedBlacks tonight, it should be a serious indictment of our coaching staff.

Brown going off for 400+...4 td's....no pics....looking silky smooth will be a right kick to the plums...especially in front of a full house

White Game. Go Blue. Expectations be damned. On game day, hope springs eternal.

My expectations for a decent performance by the blue is very low. The bar is so low I don't think an inch worm could slide underneath it. I just hope Ottawa doesn't embarrass us too much!
