Thanks for picking up where Do or Die left off. Appreciate the effort. Hoping it was Hendricks gin.

FWIW. I was out for a bike ride about an hour before the game and the wind was very slight (less than 5km/h) from the north. The turf at IGF is quite a bit below grade and with the protection from the wind offered by the stands, IMO, the wind was/should have been a non-factor yesterday.

I place the TSN CFL halftime panel segment in the same category as the gambling ads....totally irritating and insufferable. Whenever one or the other comes on, I switch channels.

Part of the issue with the panel is whomever produces it....they want each person to serve as some kind of character, and have synthetic made up point/counter point type stuff...and it is lame as heck...Get 3 people who will actually analyze things...break it down and a former player to add a lil color and insight, and offer something actually of interest....and get rid of Kate....her schtick has run it's course and she offer absolutely nothing....nd I don't know why they feel the need for "inclusion"
Just put 4 people on air who will offer the best product

A few things:
we played bad
riders came out angry (overly so) and aggressive
our cover teams need lots of work
#1 QB needs to make more that 4 completions in a half. Went for too many deep strikes and did not manage the ball. Tired out the defence
No need to panic - but a few changes to our roster may be useful
lots of faith in the team and staff - but expectations are high this year
Next week hope the bombers show up for the whole game
 
 
 
 
 
 

Might be to accommodate some loss of speed too.  But they could get another LB/DB type on for Jackson or at least a faster edge body type.  BOLO isn't on punt team anymore.  We dress 7 OL so that takes a guy out of special teams duty.
To me looks like contain guy last night, Parker, is setting up way too far inside.  Now not tracking ball well?  Or by design?  Can't know that.  Always teach contain guy to keep ball on inside shoulder but they were for sure not doing that on kick side for punts last night.
Sask ran almost exclusively field returns on kickoffs in 2nd half last night which really challenges wide contain and speed of cover team to adjust.  They basically trap the wide contain man and cut up that vertical gap sort of like a stretch run play on offense.  But any guy between there can't bust through and make the play if they get there quickly.

The Command Centre may not have reversed the call but from this year's CFL rule book:
"A coach may challenge a play that has already been reviewed by the Command Centre."
I may have missed it but I don't think that O'Shea used his challenge during the game. There was one play (a guy draped over Lawler) when the Suitor mentioned that O'Shea had his hand on his flag but decided against throwing it. So, I believe that O'Shea could have challenged that 2-point OT play.

From the 23023 CFL Rule Book
In overtime, a team does not need a time-out to challenge a play  

Hate to be continually negative tonight but in my opinion Parker might be worse than McCrae as a returner.

Ever since he's been inserted into the lineup i havent slept. I dont get it. He's a typical Canadian special teamer and nothing more. Not starting material at all. He is Sam Hurl 2.0. O'Shea just cant help himself.

Appreciate the completion but it was an underthrow. A lot of that lately.

Zach needs to pull his head out his ass. Moncreif in his head. I'd take Zach out if our next drive is **** 

Finally 😀. He's actually very quick and has learned a lot. I kinda like him.

My like for Holmi just grew a bit

U see what I see 

Hopefully this is end of that experience...but I doubt it

In my opinion....offence ineptitude and the same ol' same ol' play safe after up a few points instead of keeping knee on throat killed us..
Defence had them.hemmed up all game but when u have to keep going out there on short rest against a running scrambling QB...they will get gassed...factor in over rotating your sub par rotational pieces for whatever reason..and not having an adequate import lb replacement cause u dress another reciever u didn't use...and don't utilize the Nationalized rule due to your pride or stubborness..and you see the result when your offence and o.c **** the bed

Read a lot but don't often post but isn't it time for Glen Suitor to pack it in and retire. The guy may know a lot but he had got to shut up at times. I just shake my head.

Then he has enough $$ to retire. LoL.
