  1. Maybe shouldn’t have taken a time out with 37 seconds to 3 minute warning
  2. 2 and 3 when we need first downs typical lapo and Nichols that pass not even close
  3. adjustments adjustments adjustments....so far in sask favour does that mean we are being out coached yet again?
  4. I agree with 17to85. Good QBs can recognize a blitz prior to the snap of the ball and can either check off prior to with another play or pass that info to his offense. Nichols doesn't seem to be able to do that. Screen or check down passes to someone out of the backfield will work but are seldom used. He seems to stand in waiting for something and his 4 secs become 3 or less. There doesn't seem to be any adjustment. Wonder what a 2 back backfield would do to offset the blitz. Seemed to work last year?
  5. While I have always thought Nichols was not our saviour I can't really put all the blame on him without knowing what plays are called etc. I can say however that he cannot throw a long ball with any consistency; will not take responsibility for the O performance; and seems to be too quick to check down to his outlet receiver. Now with that said I think Lapo is as much if not more responsible for the dismal performance of the o line. He has abandoned the 2 back set; he has brought in personal that in my humble opinion are not as good as some that are sitting and he has reverted back to the same old same old OC he was last year and previous years in which he got fired. To start the season there was a not of motion; he used two back, not necessarily the two I would have chosen but they were there; he was using Demski as he should be used but all that has gone out the window in the last two games. Too reliant on Harris makes this team one dimensional. So the blame goes to both. Yes some receivers dropped passes.....so did Calgary but they were far more imaginative than we were. And we are speaking only of offense here not defense. My only hope is that we split with Sask but my gut says we will lose both.
  6. Couldn’t agree more with milt. He is blaming everyone but himself.
  7. Not sure if any QB will give us a chance as long as lapo continues to call crappy games like this one
  8. Me thinks if we lose to sask next week and depending on what happens later today, mos will be in trouble. Doubt they would fire him at that point in the season but he might be forced to deal with some issues he doesn’t appear to want to deal with right now....namely DC and QB
  9. Reason I say get Langford out is he cannot break a tackle and can’t catch unless he is facing the ball
  10. Notice that most of the time Calgary when in second down are in short yardage but us we are at least 6-8 yards that in itself tells you about the play calling or qbing of our offense
  11. Less than 5 left in game and mos so stupid or stubborn take your pick and seeing the o isn’t doing diddle will not put in streveler typical
  12. Doesn’t matter if you put Steve Lee in at this point LaPolice has not adjusted as have calgary....they know he can’t throw long and will give him the second and 7 all day long. Calgary going for the 10 yard passes with yac after that. We can’t cover that either. Defence tired
  13. Offence still doing very little 2 and outs too many too frequently. Being out coached yet again
  14. sit Lankford insert Flanders and run a two back backfield. Throw long to Adams a few times and eliminate as much as possible those 3-5 yard passes. Stretch the defense both vertically and across the field. Then let Fogg return punts take him out of the backfield and add tons of pressure. Don't be afraid to blitz and do it often. Finally someone shake the head of MOS.....don't be so darn stubborn and call a spade a spade! Will that result in a win.....I doubt it but it will be a start
