Did I say Toronto was a good team or even great team?

In a league this small, the difference between good teams and great teams comes down to the guys who are legitimate difference makers and who has more of them. Grant is a difference maker and we let him walk.

I’ll say it: Bo throws better ball than Zach at this stage of their respective careers. Also .. Lawler is a better receiver than anyone on our current roster.

Why? Parker has made a few plays but he hasn't been lights out by any stretch. He's also a big part of why the secondary has struggled (lack of communication, broken coverages etc). I honestly think he would be more effective (and look better) playing the corner next to Holm. I also recognize that it's still early in the season and we went through similar growing pains last year as a result of changes in the secondary.

Which is ironic as they were playing him at the line of scrimmage a fair bit last night.

Outside of run blocking (and Calgary is in the bottom third of run defense), I thought line play was terrible. Neufeld getting completely turned around .. Randolph giving up that late sack that nearly got Streveler killed .. Kolo being dog walked .. is not emblematic of good line play. Even Bryant's play is falling off but that may be more a sign that the unit as a whole struggling vs. Big Stan in isolation (though I do think he's no longer the premier tackle he used to be). That said .. I do think Vanterpool / Wallace are upgrades over Dobson (who I never thought lived up to expectation). Randolph over Lofton feels like addition by subtraction (though Randolph hasn't exactly lit the world on fire).

I stopped listening to the coach's show a long time ago .. basically a bunch of non-answers and folks rambling / asking nonsensical questions. There's nothing of value that comes out of it. The defense (objectively) wasn't good last night. Poor tackling. Poor communication. Poor execution all around. It doesn't help that Zach threw two touchdown for the other team but the defence did *nothing* to help the cause last night.

He either made a business decision on the one throw Zach tossed late (and it got him sat) or he came down funny and tweaked something. I lean toward him tweaking something but he hasn’t been in since.

Looks like Schoen is done.

Collaros is going to get someone killed with some of those throws (kinda like how he got Schoen lit up time and again last season).

Has Zach thrown more pick 6s than TDs (going back to last year’s Grey Cup)? I’m sure it’s no .. it just FEELS like it.

It’s not cold yet but there’s the Zach we all know and love.

No false start? No false start?

Wheatfall is like 9ft tall and he overthrows a SURE touchdown.

Right down the middle of our defence .. at all three levels.

That was ******* terrible.

At least Houston made the occasional play.

Great hard run by Brady.

Bridges is a guy who won a job just because he was here last season.

Just let VA sit back and slice apart the defence. Ugly start.

A defensive line with Kornelson, Thomas and Lawson. Sweet merciful **** what am I watching.

The problem is the domino effect when you start making changes on the offensive line. In isolation, Wallace was fine but on the whole, the unit struggled. Was that the change or was it guys simply struggling tonight? To me, it didn’t make a lot of sense to make changes to an offensive line that had exceptional game week before. I also temper that with the understanding we had a **** TONNE of time to prepare for BC in the lead up to last week. Had we not played well, I would have been worried.

Chris-Ike could have played the same role with no changes to the oline.

Well.. we’ve found Zach’s dad.

Zach forcing another throw. Bad decision.
