First two series were really well executed and balanced. Maybe it’s the wind .. maybe it’s Brown. I tend to think it’s Buck overthinking things and by extension O’Shea’s conservative nature.

I know it’s a road game in less than ideal conditions but I really hate the conservative nonsense.

Kramdi with a massive dump on that one. Had no idea where the ball was. … my daughter “That number 17 is useless”. I agree kiddo.

He looked a little nicked up on a previous Brady run as well. Great punt.

I‘m not disappointed that Judge is down

I know there’s always a point you have to move on from vets but I’d love to have Taylor still on this team.

If I could like and laugh at this at the same time I would. I was literally thinking this.

Big Stan with the recovery.

Back to back great runs by Brady. This team is so fun to watch when they execute.

I take back what I said about Buck setting Dru up for success. Also … isn’t this typical of this team this year? Should handle Calgary but are bound and determined to try and piss it away.

BA came in there and laid into Mills. love it.

Hallett has been a demon on special teams this year.

Solid opening drive. Buck setting Brown up for success early. Shame we didn’t come away with 7.

They were both still in bounds (well inbounds) when O'Shea made contact with him. This is a case of penalizing the outcome rather than the act. The bigger issue is the fact the benches are so damned close to the field.

Love this sudden interest in protecting the QB.

I spoke too soon about Ottawa playing defence. They are ******* terrible.

Hah .. grew up in the Okanagan and JUST got back from a trip home

Talking about the Friday / Saturday slate. Know it’s the summer but Thursday isn’t the “weekend” for most 😉

Easily the best game this weekend. Happy to see the RBs play a little defence finally.

1. Dru Brown I give Collaros a lot of latitude based on what’s he’s done with the team since he’s been here but he didn’t look sharp and I’m not sure we win if he stayed in the game. Dru gets my first star for being calm, composed and for being efficient with the ball (not to mention leading us to a win and overcoming a 22 point deficit). 2. Kenny Lawler Second star for the simple fact his play making ability is a difference maker. With a man draped all over him, he makes a one handed grab in the end zone when we needed it. 3. Evan Holm I’ve been beating this drum since the preseason and while he hasn’t been spectacular, he’s been one of our better DBs all year. His pick was what I’ve been waiting to see out of him .. he can run, is positionally sound and is growing as a player each week but hasn’t turned the ball over. This week, we needed a play on defence to get some momentum and swagger back and Holm delivered. Happy Honker. Brady Olivera Hard running and good chunks of yardage when we needed it, especially in the fourth. He may not have the short area burst that SOME backs have but he’s a guy who can salt a game away if given a chance.

It’s not even about winning though, it’s about coming out ready to play. Too many times this year the team has just been flat .. and maybe when you look back over the history of O’Shea teams there are those moments but it *feels* more pronounced this year.

Sure you can. One is a marquis quarterback and the reigning most outstanding player and the other is a guy you wouldn’t miss if he wasn’t in your lineup each week. The CFL made a huge mistake Thursday and it’s not a good look.

I trust you more than I trust anything “CFL Stats” related.

Calgary making VAJ look like a world beater. This, and last night’s game, are complete duds.

And it’s been like this for years and years. League wants scoring and this little bit of latitude favours the offence. And it’s been like this for years and years. League wants scoring and this little bit of latitude favours the offence.
