And I refuse to apologize for loving all of the above.

Your OL can’t protect the QB, so there is no reason to believe they could run-block effectively. I suspect opposing D coordinators are scheming to take away the dump passes & quick outs, knowing your QBs won’t consistently get the protection for the medium / deep throws.

With an 8-9-1 record and be under-estimated by a 15-3 team from the West in the GC.

In short, it’s the cumulative effect of several factors, one being the absence of Travis Bond. I also think OL play as a cohesive group can make up for the loss of one dominant starter. Further, I think the benefits elsewhere on the roster, MLB in particular, tilt the scales in favour of Neufeld starting. We still have the best OL in the league. Just my 0.02

All of this - is also because of a rookie QB behind centre who is not as much of a passing threat - same thing happened when Nichols went down last year.

Not to mention the PETA bar

Ha - it’s time to knock out the BS, we could end up with a dirty pocket

The OL is doing great, but Neufeld is not an upgrade over Bond. But if he can stay healthy he makes us better due to the ratio benefits.

False

He needs to stop talking about how much money Trudeau spends on toilets, play houses, etc. Honestly, Mulcair and the NDP are bringing more real issues forward than he is. I’m sure he has a back bench MP or three who could talk about Trudeau’s cushions on his yacht.

15 years later? By those standards, anyone with anything like that in their past can’t be an MP. At point I plan to vote Conservative next election. But don’t think Scheer is going to unseat Trudeau / the Liberals

I find the complete lack of in game adjustments by Winnipeg last week and Hamilton this week more than a bit puzzling - it must be frustrating for the players.

Oh, was just quoting Rod Black and poking fun

Dude - he was just in the vicinity of a dangerous throw...

Eighty nine offence Effectively countered by Eighty nine defence

If we give up only 17 points - that Mars colony could be possible after all.

So many motivators...

I can show you plenty of published haikus that break this rule - it’s called creativity

Max protection thrives When they play our blue and gold As does - any competent offence

Ok, let’s talk about the last two playoff games. Excellent QB play with a very poor showing by the D. I know it’s only been 3 games so far, but it feels like we’re watching the same movie again.

Either it’s hard to crack or it isn’t - both things can’t be true.

Maybe it takes some teams / coaches a while to crack it, but check the highlights of Hamilton’s game vs. Calgary. They covered effectively and found ways to get pressure.

True - the full max protect requires a QB who can throw with pin point accuracy on a consistent basis. However, taking 5 to 7 yard dump offs when a D is never in press coverage, is a relatively easy adjustment.
