Young head coaches are a big part of the problem because they're just like their players. Look at how stupid BC Lions DC Ryan Phillips acts on the sidelines with the many ("I can't believe this is happening") faces he makes when things go bad on the field for him. How he seems to mock other teams when his defense gets the upper hand & how he says he encourages his players to act like idiots on the field yapping. A generation ago, these coaches would have been shown the door by their HC or in the case of a mouthy HC, his GM. There seemed to be a lot more decorum & respect for one another back then.

Armstead had a very good game running the ball against a very bad Stamps defense. On close ups, I noticed more than a few times that it looks like he wanted to fight his tacklers on the field. The guy appears to be a walking stick of dynamite ready to go off. Bob Dyce isn't stupid, there was a reason he let a talented back like that go. Of course, Armstead just adds to the negative culture of that team.

Ryquell Armstead is starting for the Riders this weekend.

Yeah, I remember that. He took a lot of criticism for the way he wore that baseball cap.

Mace is suffering from Devonne Claybrooks Syndrome. Claybrook was rated the best Defensive Coordinator in the league because he had an All Star team of defensive talent around him with the Stamps. He struggled coaching average players as Lions Head Coach. Funny how after he was fired in BC, absolutely no one signed him as their D Coordinator. Just how bad was it inside that locker room at BC Place with him in charge?

These young, inexperienced head coaches in the NFL & CFL. Maybe 20% of them find true success. Mace is just looking like another Craig Dickenson with Brown going after qbs & the signing of the angry Ryquell Armstead. He was one hot tomale of a Defensive Coordinator because when he was in Toronto, Pinball signed every available free agent star on the defensive side of the ball.

The road was red with carnage.

Not many people your age even know who Sergio Mendes was let alone are familiar with his music. Big hit in 1968.

Why do I think our defense will continue to play well (we've only given up 274 oints in 13 games) until the playoffs when we'll get crushed? And Walters & Osh coulf have improved it but chose to stand pat all season.

I don't know what'a wrong with JC Abbott's article that makes it trashy. What he says ain't no lie.

Whether it's an act or not, at least he doesn't pout or sneer like Sir Nathan Rourke does. Adams knows how to be a pro & I admire him for it. My son was a qb at Simon Fraser University. I can tell you that there were times he was very unhappy with some of the shitty coaching decisions he had to endure as a qb. But he still clapped & cheered for his brothers who were playing & trying hard to win even though his guts were torn out. He had to show he supported any decision his HC (& he had 3 of them in 3 years) made even if he didn't agree with it. That's what a good teammate & leader does.

It is what it is.

Masoli & Brown laughing & smiling as the RedBlacks are going down for another loss. Don't think the fanbase in Ottawa will like that.

Why would you think he'd go in as a Bomber?

Milanovich must be thinking, "Here we go again".

Masoli with a second TD & then a 2 point convert. RedBlacks coming back. Masoli giving the RB's offense a burst.

Yeah, I've seen Adams pulled before & he's been on the sidelines clapping & cheering. I don't believe at all that it's a happy qb room right now in BC.

Rourke's body language is interesting. He shows his displeasure & disinterest all the time. He pouts on the sideline when things go bad & smirks when things are going well. He has talent but he has a ways to go to mature into a leader like Adams was until Campbell screwed him.

RedBlacks can look so good in some game & then play like they don't even care in others. Their energy level seems so low today & it has been in all of their losses this season. That has to be a concern going into the playoffs. I don't know if that is coaching or not.

The Lions could lose both of their qbs this off season. Adams is gone & that's a given but I don't think Rourke feels his NFL opportunities are finished. He could also leave again. Imagine that happening.

I usually don't like interviews during a game but I do hope that they talk to Ray Jauch. Marvin Coleman couldn't make the HOF Induction ceremony as his passport didn't arrive in time.

I sure hope Taylor Powell is available this off season.

Hard to get excited about a Ti Cat-RedBlack game.

You'd think that the Ti Cats & the CFL would work together to make sure the HOF game would be a complete sellout to honour the players going in. What a joke.
