My life the last week has been weird .. thought I was the one losing his mind .. new found respect for what Chris Garrett went through .. but yeah, usually these holiday games start much earlier.
-
yeah, meant 7-730 pacific time.
It's all good .. ;-)
-
CFL website shows the game at 7pm EST .. something change?
-
Yeah exactly. Tillman is a terrible GM. If he comes here I'm going to start cheering for the riders.
I knew that co-op you have was starting to rub off on you.
-
The first thing that jumps out at me is the investment in "blue chip" offensive lineman. They have 4 first round picks on their offensive line. Whereas our offensive line is comprised of millends / cast offs from around the league. This team hasn't made building a strong offensive line a priority and it shows through the constant struggles we have on that side of the ball (regardless of coach / oc).
Just my first impression.

^^^ very easy to demand change .. harder to implement a solution ..
-
At least terrible tackling isn't unique to the blue n gold .. Wow ..this game is there for Hamilton to take
-
Geezus. Reilly keeps taking shots like that he won't last the night. Edmonton's line is terrible.
-
No one will trade for a (potential) starting OL. So, NFL cuts but that changes the ratio.
Unless it's in an effort to replace one (or both) of our existing tackles. Boatman, as far as I'm concerned, has no business starting on our line as an import .. his performance doesn't justify it.

Simpson and Sheets
-
given what he did in Edmonton I don't think you can realistically say he'd bring anyone closer to a Grey Cup.
He brought Toronto closer
-
wasnt he with us during the kelly year?
All hail the database
-
Yes, the time has indeed come. No doubt. This went on far too long. No guarantee Goltz is the guy but he has to be given the opportunity to try.
Simple fact is that the organization has finally woken up and realized they need continuity at the most important position on the field.
-
that stat was bullshit to begin with because there were lots of games PIerce was playing like complete crap in and had the team in a losing position but then got hurt and didn't finish the game. It's not so much a when he played he was always good more of a when he played bad he also wound up getting hurt. PIerce has been a brutal qb for over a year now, probably closer to 2 years than anyone wants to admit. This move was a long time coming.
Hell, we only won a few of those games because the defense put points on the board .. It's not all Pierce and his magical ability to finish a game.
-
Calvillo wasn't happy that he wasn't putting up gaudy stats and was more than ready to throw a new head coach under the bus.
2-3 isn't terrible and should have been expected coming out the gate with a new staff .. new system. There were going to be struggles. Hawkins really wasn't given a chance to work through them.
-
Little surprised they gave a rookie head coach 5 games to prove himself. Firing Hawkins is an admission that his hiring was a colossal mistake.

It's classless to remind posters to keep it classy.
-
This is something I can get behind. Now let's tailor this offense to Goltz .. Use his athleticism .. Allow the kid to be successful

CFL.ca Staff
MONTREAL -- The Montreal Alouettes announced on Thursday that they have relieved Head Coach Dan Hawkins of his duties. Owner Bob Wetenhall has asked General Manager Jim Popp to assume the head-coaching role in addition to his other responsibilities.
"Jim is the person most responsible for the success we have had over all these years," explained Wetenhall.
"I feel confident that he is the best person to coach our team at this time and I am very appreciative of him being willing to make this additional contribution to our franchise. He has the respect of our players as well as mine."
More to come...

You invest in the offensive line .. make it a priority .. you set a quarterback up for success .. doesn't matter who we line up behind center .. they WILL struggle and fail to reach their potential behind the line we have right now.
-
Both Mitchell and Wiley are operating behind two of the best offensive lines in the CFL .. they also have the luxury of having a top running back on their team .. makes a world of a difference when you can keep a young quarterback upright and take pressure off him with a dominating run game.
-
Overwhelming pressure has a way of hiding flaws in the Secondary. If you look at the first two games against Montreal as an example, the defense was lights out .. but that starts and ends with the defensive line (and linebackers) ability to get to the quarterback. The last two games .. we failed to generate any meaningful push .. Ray and Mitchell had all the time in the world to make their throws and they exposed what is a very soft secondary.

He's a lineman .. Only shape he needs is round!

Honestly though (and this is me looking for a silver lining more than anything else), Matthews makes a couple of plays .. squeezes the ball .. the outcome of that game could be much different. A catch inside the redzone to move the chains .. a catch coming out of the shadow of our own endzone helps us manage field position ..
