thatd be fantastic. The event here prior was a bit under whelming but the gate was awesome, and so was the crowd. FOTN went to two women who went at it with one trying to grab a chair and go all wwf. hell ya i cant wait! idk bout that fight. I worry when i see guys giving up that much weight. I dont even like JJ very much. I think its a lose lose cash grab fight, so it will probably happen. I reeaalllly want maia to win. But idk twood is a beast. Also my least favorite fighter in the ufc though. Not a fight i would bet on. jones, cybro, and lawler are about as much a lock as you can get.

No one likes it. Cept our coaching staff. smh.

Its certainly a back and forth thing. Our D keeps the opposition offense on the field too long, Our o keeps our D on the field to long. After that first turn over and score, we went 2 and out twice to end the first quarter on offense. Scoring drive to answer montreal to start the 2nd, 3 plays and punt twice in a row, then 2 and out to end the first half. The two scoring drives started at the MTL 27. and at our 53 yard line. In the first half montreal had the turn over drive, and 1 2 and out. Its like a perfect $h1tstorm of poor coaching philosophies. I shutter to think about what our field position metrics would look like.

2nd all of the above.

under 100 yards passing in the first half will do that. The problem is not 1 dimensional. Both sides of the ball play half a game a week. The pass coverage is too soft, we give up huge runs at bad times. We blitz to very low effect. Our lbs are also pretty banged up and have 2 rookies in the secondary starting. On off we go long periods of time with out moving the ball, often look lost when the quick pass isnt there and struggle to complete deep passes. We forget about the run too long and are un creative with run plays. etc. 6th in passing yards 5th in rush yards. 6th in turn overs too. We have put up a ton of points, but weve also seen points from all over the place, have the same amount of picks as the 2nd and 3rd highest totals in the league. The bottom 5 teams in picks in the league combine for 1 more pick then us. The half a game of play and playing miserable football when we dont have momentum is heavily a coaching factor. Offense isnt just scoring, you have to move the yard sticks and keep your D off the field so they can play better too. Its a top down, both sides and coaching issue. No 1 move fixes this team.

Good call on the HH, after last week having bob back was huge. Adams long catch was huge early too. I really like our wrs when healthy.

Making it easy to sit ogogopogo but yeah. Would love to see a trade there. I like the comparison of nichols being the anti glenn. Another ugly first half despite scoring on the first drive. Well un productive more then ugly. But brought it in the clutch. Yeah i like what we have at wr. Thorpe looks like a stud.

1 Harris. Game winning td. 12-41 2 tds 9-93 catching. 2 Jeffcoat. Great pressure, 2 sacks 1 pick. 3 Westerman, 2 sacks maybe we are seeing him heat back up finally. Adams and nichols are real close for the 3rd spot, but durant was thrashing us while getting smacked around if we didnt have that pressure, I dont think the game is even close. HH, Tough between medlock OS kick, and harris run to win the game. The on side kick really gave us a ton of MO, so im going with that. WHAT A GAME!

Thats true, its really dangerous to peak early. If we swept this weak portion of our schedule though we'd be knocking on the door to locking down a home play off game.

Its not that he doesnt fill that in the box role out very well, he would be fantastic for a MLB role similar to the tampa 2 mlbers in the states. A deep drop guy who can rush etc. But with our loose coverage we gotta have that deep cover help. Even if its rotated. Hes certainly a guy who benefits from playing a mid field type of role, run around and make plays. But to really make the most of that wed have to move him or change a lot.

Our coverage schemes over all are poor imo. Our use of loffler in the box soo much leaving him out of position to cover, or having him man cover a slot from the S spot, The too deep zone/very loose match zone, its all not good. We give up first down yardage on 2nd down, even 2nd and fairly long. Zone it self isnt bad, if you blitz you are pretty much pushed into playing a zone or match scheme, or have no deep help. In general though I dont like our system on O or D. The D drives me nuts though.

The bombers could have won against calgary and had a more then 2td lead against the leos. While playing only a half of football. In sports you have to have the confidence if your self and your team and then you win. So i hope they have all the smugs.

Feel like edm will beat us but the rest we should beat. However, with our tendency to give up as many passing yards as is possible and only playing a half of football per game we probably win 4.

Its a big difference on the Line between running, with run protection, and tossing it to the RB as a release valve out of pass pro. Establishing dominance and maintaining it on the line is a big deal. Now, not a lot of teams run heavy any more in the cfl. So its not as big a factor as it once was. But it is the difference between being able to run the ball well in the 4th and not. And being able to get the hoggies in sync.

Cant ignore that for sure. For a good portion of the game lulay had more yards then our offense combined, and at times a near 2:1 advantage. But its hard to out yard another team when you play half as many quarters, and spot them a huge edge early on in TOP.

Was that on tsn? Off the top of my head, aside from it being a difficult thing to quantify statistically our offense very very low usage of deep passes would skew results a good deal. Ob talked about nichols deep ball completion % being among the lowest in the league. This year and last we saw some lousy drops and bobbles. But we also see nichols miss and over throw open deep targets a good portion of our small sample size. People often see a WR get close to a ball or have it go off the finger tips and think, oh he should have had that. Instead of recognizing an incredible effort and going all out just to make it a close play. In general i dont agree with a lot of people on whats a drop and whats a just miss on a huge effort.

what stat line was that?

Sort of, possibly, how did that get past the review? Oh well td good guys i didnt see him cross or come close. Hope they fix it soon, but probably not gonna change.

Its more the dark (blue) side of fans that comes out after a loss. You can look back not long ago at all and see some people who sang the praises of players/coaches as elite talent, now ready to jettison them and so on. You can see people saying X position has the worst talent in the league and then loving the same players at said position when the team decides to make an appearance too.

Our whole offense under performs in the 1st n 4th. We see these drastic flashes out of wrs, our OL mashes and keeps the pocket clean, and nichols makes some great reads n passes. Then the rest of the game they look lost. Id say the only 2 players on our O who are on top of their game every snap is harris and dressler. Lots of blame to go around the whole offense, It starts and ends with lapo though imo. Though i have never been a fan of plop offenses. I did think he had potential as a HC though, if he could limit his own impact on the offense. The half of good football thing seems to affect the D too. though its different as well with them as they often get hung out to dry in the first Q. As a CO i feel the same about hall as plop. I think MOS is an issue as well. His over the top player friendly / boys club is what enables players to under perform and hardly show up for a half of football at a time. The fact we are competitive and in the mix with how close the league is this year despite spotting teams a half of football every game is just staggering to me. I cant even fathom how good this team would be if it played a full game at a high level.

I am all in favor of that. The end game clock management had me pulling my hair out too. They acted like we were up by 7.

1 Harris. was runnin with juice early when our whole offense was in the rutt we call the first quarter. 6-29 rushing 12-85 receiving. 2 Jeffcoat. Had a ton of pressures on lulay tnite. 3 Thorpe. Maybe too high but i really liked what i saw from him as a WR. Can really see what the bombers saw in him in camp. Hope he comes to replace lankford. HH Was gonna go with the hit on ianuzzi. But the normand play where nichols was sacked, fumbled, normand came in scooped it up and ran for a first down was incredible. Over all a tough week to give spots out. A lot of really good half a football games worth of performances. (again)

An OL from our side got into it with rita. I wanna say chris perez. And was then traded to bc. For khari jones.

argos

only way to fix that is to move to QC.
