We’re finally seeing some good QB play league wide .. you’d THINK they’d crack down on this BS hard. The league, as a whole, needs quality quarterbacking.

I like how they think Daniella Ponticelli is a “prominent CFL personality”. Who?

1. Zach. I’ve been really critical of his play this season (it’s been warranted) but through one half of play he put the team in a position to win. Without him performing for the first 30 minutes, we don’t get the W. 2. Sergio. The dude has been pretty spectacular this season and I’ll be shocked if he isn’t our nom for special teams player of the year (if only by default). 3. Tony Jones. Two great plays in the final minutes of the game (the tip as he’s dropping into his zone and the knockdown in the end zone). He’s been the low key great addition to the defence and he continues to get better. HH - Hallett. He gave up a couple plays while on D but he’s always been a very capable special teams guy and was able to capitalize on the muffed kick. Great job on ST getting us a much needed score. Random Thoughts: Saskatchewan did to Strev what I thought they’d do all game - eliminate Brady and force him to throw underneath. Zach had success because he was able to attack the seams. We ALLOWED him to attack the seams. I’m so disappointed in how they game plan when Streveler is in the game. From the opening whistle this season it has just felt like they have no real plan for him. They’ve never disguised their intent when he’s in the game, have never given him an opportunity to run the offence and Buck seems incapable of tailoring the passing game to his strengths. The irony of that, considering the QB Buck was, is insane. Back to back years Zach takes an unnecessary shot in Regina. Second time this year Zach takes a late hit which knocks him out. Why is it that we suffer both from an injury standpoint and when the CFL tries to “reinforce protecting the QB?” (ie. get flagged for really marginal calls) I think the approach vs Harris last night was wrong. I get what Younger is trying to do pre-snap and dropping guys into coverage but if there was ever a game that screamed for attacking, pressure, knocking someone around and getting a guy off his spot it was last night. Maybe the Banjo Bowl? Our return game sucks. Blocking is a big issue and Grant made that unit look far better than what they are. Our cover team has been lights out this season. Ayers is such a physical presence continues to make plays game in game out. To the Winnipeg fan involved in the dust up during the game - you’re an idiot. I don’t know what precipitated the fight, I don’t care that you were pushed .. what makes you think it’s going to end well if you throw a punch? You’re in another teams stadium, surrounded by their fans and get aggressive? All you accomplished was getting another Bomber fan (who was trying to break things up) worn out. There are chuckle-f@cks everywhere, there’s no need to engage with them - be better.

4/6 for 46 yards. First miss was his first pass that was behind Lawler and the second was the under throw to Brady on the screen going nowhere.

Gauthier doing the old ole didn’t help matters any.

I was getting really angry watching this slip away .. I haven’t been mad like that in a LONG time. I wouldn’t have been a happy camper had this gone the other way.

What a disgusting way to finish a game.

That’s such a horseshit call. SSK player initiated contact.

Tony Jones you magnificent bastard.

Willie offside.

10 yards at a time. This isn’t good.

Yes. Aggressive pin your ears back defence. Knock Harris around finally.

That single from the first half looms large right now.

We needed that so badly.

OK .. hold on to the damned ball.

I love Bighill but he had no business coming into camp without someone there to take his job.

Didn’t help that Demski had already lost his block and was grabbing turf when the ball got there.

That screen was going nowhere.

O’Shea … Buck .. I’m imploring you: grow some stones and let your QB play QB. If anything shines a spotlight on Buck’s deficiency as a co-ordinator it’s when he has to adjust on the fly.

Zero pressure and they allow Harris to pick apart the secondary.

We lose this game if we don’t mix in some passes. Brady isn’t salting this away for us.

I don’t expect Strevy will get a fair shake this second half. I also don’t expect the refs to do us any favours whatsoever.

SER-GI-O

Nice to see Lapo say that Strevy throws the ball better than folks give him credit for.

Need our offence to respond in some way.
