Eternal optimist

Even if they magically got out of MTL, too inconsistent to go anywhere. There is a reason no crossover team has ever made the GC.

The only acceptable answer to this question is anyone but Saskatchewan.

Don't see how you dont give Vaval at least one star. Offense was lagging and he was the only thing that provided a spark. Other stars? Well, fans showed up and were loud when it mattered... nobody else was in any way remarkable.

Right, but it felt like they wanted to lose to EDM, but win the point differential. Hypothetically a win tonight would have moved us to 3rd... as we have the season series against BC.

Some really odd coaching decisions, not sure if it was ineptitude or if they were intentionally playing for the crossover? Playing for the crossover never works... there is a reason no crossover team ever makes the Grey Cup

That turnover epitomized this OTT team, watching the replay all the OTT players are celebrating, meanwhile Oullette is the only one hustling to make something happen.

i think Dru Brown still has potential, but some of those picks make me think letting him walk may have been the right move. Hard to say though, he has no supporting cast in Ottawa.

What that helmet rule for player safety is dumb they should change it due to this one exact scenario 🙄 (sarcasm)

Ah, so nice to see bad VA show up for once.

To be fair with Strev 8 passes is a bit much.

This is just a veiled "improving the game" that aligns it more to the NFL.

I think he just misremembered the stat line. The Redblacks of 2021season (which LaPo coached) he was 12/20 for 71 yards with a longest completion of 15 yards in their season opener. https://www.cfl.ca/games/6137/ottawa-redblacks-vs-edmonton-elks/ Saying it was planned makes sense, this was after Nichols shoulder surgery and it was clear his arm strength was waning.

You know it was a good game by how quickly the 3 stars thread devolves into an "ugliest win ever" commentary. My vote? 2015 season, week 16, they win on a last second FG by Castillo that doinked in off the upright.

Not gonna win many games in the CFL scoring 13 points. Was cool to see Brandon Alexander walking around chatting with fans in the tailgate area. Dude still looks like he could play lol

Honestly if you give ZC a clean pocket I think we win that game. C'est la vie.

I mean tbh they managed to claw their way back in it. Thought they got some incredibly lucky breaks after that Alford fumble. I was surprised the game was that close. Just hope that Schoen is okay. I too thought he pulled up lame on the 2pt convert, which also made sense why it seemed ZC threw it right to that DB, Schoen couldn't even make a play on the ball.

HH i would say Castillo. He missed that one pivotal FG but that was a dumb call and into the wind. His first FG was after that bad PI call... if he misses there, entire complexion of that game changes. Also, still hit the game winner when the chips were down.

Not sure which is dumber... O'Shea kicking a long FG, or Dyce not going for 2 when it was clearly the only chance that team had to win

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

Seemed like STs did okay... D gave up big plays when the chips were down. You dont win many CFL games scoring 4 points in the 2nd half though. Nice to see Vaval with more confidence on his decisions.

In b4 vintage Legghio miss lol

Nobody finds the open D-Linemen like Rourke 🤣

Alright late to the show here and I dont normally setup topics... TNF is a good one thus far. This looks like what happens when neither team wants to run the ball, tie game about to head into the 4th

Wheatfall's struggles are married to ZC struggles... if you're a burner who runs deep, dont have much thrown to you when your QB can reliably throw 20 yards or under. Also fun fact: We have not lost when Streveler is our starting QB this year 🤣
