Zach's play cost us a GC, and he's been so putrid in the GCs and playoffs; he has a long way to go before that. He did give me a ton of hope again. I had hope after his preseason play as well, but last week was rough. His start to the game was also rough. He tossed some ducks early last night that had me worried. I'm glad he got it together. I hope he keeps it tight from here on. I am reasonably optimistic that this will continue. With Jones, he pretty much did what he always does. A bit better than previous in pass rush, though it's not his strength. He is still completely lost in pass cover.

ZC arm is not what it was but he had a good game once he warmed up....has he did enough this yr tho to validate an extension sight unseen...to be determined Jones made some plays...but was also brutal in several too....there is that to consider....now if he can consistently be top level game in....game out then sure he is decent....but he still has holes in his game and they aren't little holes Is he our best option?...who knows...but I doubt it and the fact they don't give a guy a shot who has already proven it in the league just to see who is better...well that in my opinion is bad rostering, as you should always be trying to be better....and we don't seem to want to find out...And if J.Jones is...and it pushes T.Jones to a rotational/situational role...where he would seem even better, then why not find out if it makes the overall team better?.... Also...was against a winless team as well....be that player in all games...against all comers....no? I just don't get how some people have an adverse opinion to trying to put best team out there...but rather just be "ok" at times....and never know..

I was mad watching them kick off after the half and then they made it worse by taking Lawson and Willie off for the first few plays of that drive. That Oline did whatever it wanted to Thomas, no push at all. Rankin had a couple good runs and then the bust in the secondary.

Make sure you add salt to that crow guys 👍🏻

I think Tony Jones and Zach Collaros just force fed some posters around here a big old helping of crow

Never know but they would have had to say definitively that Holm's feet hadn't touched the receivers. I haven't seen that angle that shows that but maybe I missed it.

Everyone is going to have a real good time in 15 years when Jake Thomas' 220 games played get him onto the Ring of Honour

watch any game when he is in and teams decide to run...they let him get out of his stance and as he has no hand skills or ability to fight off a block...(partly because he needs one hand to prop up his head so he doesn't topple over...watch for that as I not making it up) and they just wash him left...or right as the runner glides right by....or thy just bully him and spin him around so his back is to the line... And we trot him out there play after play after play The key part of 4th quarter were we had 2 defensive stands that kinda sealed th deal...wasn't on field....crucial last drive Elks had...there he was for 4 consecutive snaps as the Elks rolled about 40 yards into our end

I was at the game and I about lost my voice on that ridiculous PI call. Did the TSN commentators say anything about it?

This is one of his biggest weaknesses…. On a long list of weaknesses. All he does is bull rush. He has absolutely no moves or ability to get off of a block. The O line never have to concern themselves with what he’s going to do…. They know it’s straight ahead every time. Makes for a real easy night.

I don't know how long it was, but winning a game on a call like that is not great, no matter what other circumstances may exist.

He had one play where he pushed back his o-lineman while being held. Last week he had zero positive plays. That is all. Lawson wasn't exactly lights out himself, but at least he makes a few plays per game when given a chance. It's better then none or one in this case.

They're taking cues from the NHL command centre where reviews sometime take 3 1/2 days to determine a result.

I don't think so. Elks took possession and punted from the same end after it was overturned.

kids are unbiased...and call it as it is lol The majority of the plays where the Elk's got big gains....sustained drives...Jake...and Korn were on field...either individually ...and together....just rehashing that makes me puke in my mouth...when not out there...we actually got pressure with even just the 3 man....and way more disruption with 4 and a blitzer...and it helps out our 2 ends as they have to pay attention to the middle...Lawson constantly breaks thru...gets pressure and hits on the QB....yet gets half the reps Thomas does...and the odd time Jake gets some push in pocket...cant finish play...or disengage to follow play Seeing how we really don't use Cooley enough to make him truly impactful (he's a back who needs to be getting rep after rep) we may as well dress Person to give the ends a rest and it will up their game...or Woods when he ready as we can still slide out one of him or Admas on the edge and give an end a breather....also Bailey for Weitz to give a true speed guy reps too and keep the OT's out of balance...He would offer just as much if not more than Weitz on teams I'd dump both of Thomas and Korn a few games...actually dress Schmuck as he gets in their and mucks it up and is a beast in the jumbo package and dress Cobb...would give us way more value and flexibilty than current roster... we got lotsa glue

I don't know if he can bust through this plateau he has reached as a coach, while still being here. I think we are going to be locked in to a lot of the same stuff, for a long time. I think when things come to an end here, how ever and when ever that happens, he could take the next step.

And for the 'stop with the Jake hate', it really is not Jake hate. At least for me. If he's the glue find different ways to apply it on this team. It's just frustrating and difficult to watch our nose tackle be push backed 1-2 yards and/or play bump belly with the OL on 90% of his reps. I know I know we're 3-0, we've made the GC 5 years in a row, MOS has turned our club around, we lead in attendance, we are the gold standard of this league, we have the best uni's around etc etc. But cut us some slack there is always room for improvement no matter who you are.

It was also the end of the 3rd quarter.

That was definitely a gripe i had. They took their sweet time when I thought reviews were supposed to be a quick yes it's obvious or no it's too close to tell so they're not spending hours trying to figure it out. Cfl reffing is just so bush league sometimes.

Someone on another site pointed out the rule says automatic reviews aren't supposed to take more than 60 seconds. That felt like about 10 times that but maybe because of a commercial break?

yeah I stand by my comment that Osh is a pansy at times with his challenge opportunities...goes home way too often at end of game with it still in his pocket For a guy when times were tougher around here and he was scuffling as a coach he sure showed a lot more balls and with trickery....extracting whatever he can out of obscure rules....challenge flags...going for it...got a couple Cup wins and now like a lot of his rostering and talent decisions....he's coasting and being all status quo...He used to have a big set of onions....seems like he a couple Glossett's tucked in his cargo shorts now yeah I gonna peruse once i get some work done...I'll need some entertainment

Popped over to Riderfans and apparently we won because the refs favour the Bombers. Never change.

never know...but it was obvious Holm had nothing to do with it.....they overturned the Bonds one which was the right call BTW...but a way tougher call to over rule

Yeah I think we got away maybe with more tugs, but they got away with the most egregious plays. Guys like paddy and Stan know exactly what they can get away with. I’ve got no gripe going either way in the call on bonds pick. That was a tough play to call with all but one angle at super slow mo. My only issue is the quality of the challenge review, and the integrity of the process. I want that to be strong and consistent. I don’t agree, I think it’s clear he didn’t trip the wr. I also think it’s critical to throw those challenges if you think they won’t over turn it. Make it stand out and appeal it. Force the league to address it and change. Allowing them to brush it under the rug is being complicit. also, we had a time when those calls were super soft. But that was overhauled a couple years ago. It’s not that way any more. Incidental dpi is not that common and WRs don’t dive and draw calls easily.

OK, this is a true story. Was at the game with the family yesterday in the South endzone, including my older son (14). He does NOT watch football at all, but comes with us to a game or two a year. Before the game they are doing player introductions and the D runs out of the tunnel one by one. No word of a lie, they introduce Jake Thomas and he waddles out and my son audibly starts to giggle and he turns to look at me as if to say "is that guy on the team?". All I could do was shrug.
