Amen! Super Bad Decision by our HC - I guess he will explain it away! While we are discussing coaching issues - how about finding a real OC? Got to be a better one out there than what we have.

So Schmekel is basically a young Jake Thomas.... lot of hustle and effort.

The thing i find crazy with this, is how conservative this 2nd down call is, followed up by the very aggressive FG attempt...

While you’re at it please bring back 2021 🙃

Well how about the head coach deciding to kick a super long field goal just because? That's an egregious decision that he is lucky they got away with. Punt that ball and make Ottawa go the length of the field with little time to try and tie the game.

Refs get paid , pretty good at this level although not as well as NFL. No excuses for shitty calling, they even have pro backup to get it right!

Yeah i didn't say stupid...

They don't get paid? I fn hope the other job isn't air traffic controller or crossing guard

There was a lot to like in that game, mostly in the first half.... But man that second half was, to quote @17to85, "pants on head" stupid in a lot of places...

I'm normally a **** your feelings kinda guy but you should trust yours

Agreed. Couldn't tell for sure but it looked like 2.5-3 yards. And if you have anywhere between 3/4 of a yard to a full yard left on 3rd you aren't going for it. Having streveler run with virtually every player on the field keying on him was very likely going to end up that way. Beyond stupid. And then going for the FG? The way Crum was throwing the ball it was very unlikely he was driving the field with the time left on the clock. Trying the FG gave them that opening they needed. Beyond stupid.

I would have just ran a normal play. That dump to Clercuis they’d been running all night probably would have been good for 3 yards. Agree that the Strev run package is no good, he’s just too beat up. They should be using Wilson exclusively for traditional (I.e a yard and a half tops) short yardage.

The wedge on 2nd & 3 almost broke me as a fan. I was ready to turn in my O’Shea fan club card.

Especially given the context of the way SY has been with Strev lately, an astronomically dumb decision.

And that one I would love to see Osh challenge to send a message to his rookie that he did nothing wrong.

They were both bad but first was more ticky tack than the straight up garbage second call.

Or run some kind of zone read with Streveler and Oliviera to force the D to cover every gap and even think pass is possible. Or just run a normal play with Collaros out there. Honestly I'd just give up on the Streveler run pack because we're not executing our basic run stuff well and Streveler is also not much of a weapon on the run with his knee now. Yeah Cam Allen is the first guy we've played this year aside from Nichols and Holm who is confident enough to make a play on the ball.

In the last quarter our dline was gassed, Willie was basically waving at runners going past him. If woods is healthy we need to have him play. I did like Cam Allen, physical and showed some speed. And I aggree Wilson is a better 3rd dwn quarterback, streveler doesnt have the initial burst anymore and is no longer overpowering anyone

I’m usually the first one to defend the officiating but I agree. What happened to “Eligible receivers of both teams have an equal right to the ball”?

Completely agree with that too, just speaking about the third down call. If you want to run a sneak on the second down play I actually think you would want to use Wilson, seems to average more yards on his sneaks. Streveler's always look awful.

That 2nd and 3 call ....sticks in my crawl. Hogan: idiot

I didn't see the first one but thought Allen's second PI was garbage.

Please put pressure on your coach to replace the pop warner OC.

Or you run a better sequence starting from 2nd and 3 to keep the offense out there.

1. Demski- In consideration for MOC of the league. 2. Schmekel- Far more impactful than JT, and Lawson too quite honestly. 3. Wheatfall- Held on to the ball after some huge hits. This game probably took years off his life. HH- Ball for some solid ST play HM- Allen and Vaval. In their first starts, looked better than Parker and Bonds respectively. Especially Vaval, playing boundary corner (well) and returner as a rookie is pretty impressive.
