TBURGESS

We were the least prepared team this week and it showed. Time to get to work and fix the problems or else it's gonna be a long season.

Seeing what Toronto put out on the field yesterday was so frustrating. Do they have weak spots? Sure. But the young talent pool is impressive. They lost so many pieces and more just step right up - not necessarily rookies, but guys they’re recruited and developed and now asked to play bigger roles. Brinkman, Pierce, Dukes, Williams, Franklin … they do a good job of talent assessment over there for sure 
It’s not all on Zach though. A lot of it is, but not all of it. It’s crazy how in preseason, you were ALL OVER Booch and I for saying some negative things that ended up being entirely true but now that we’re one game in, you’ve got completely off the deep end on the other side of the argument.
Our preparedness on offense left a lot to be desired. Zach wasn’t making throws, but those throws also involve rhythm, timing, understanding of blocking assignments, chemistry and a lot more. The whole offense was out of sync and Zach is a big part of that but he’s not entirely to blame.

Yeah im starting to get a real bad feeling about this season. Key injuries already, still lots of question marks at important positions, and an aged QB that has so far looked like wet poop. Not a recipe for success.

So flip it to American. We start 817 Canadians.

Karma doesn't exist???

I dont give a flying **** how we find players. Just find them.

Classic CFL to change the rules in the middle of the week’s schedule, and not have an even playing field.

I'd like to see a double blind study. Every CFL FG kicker kicks 20 balls, 10 with and 10 without a chip. No one knows which are which. Then we would find out if it's all in the kickers head or if the chips actually make a difference. 

Nothing, that's what makes for the most effective trolling

I have heard of no move to change the yard markers to metric. Ambrosie should have his head examined.

Can only drink beer at McMahon tonight and each team gets one bucket of water for post game showers.

Not bloody likely.

If  a team has given up then they deserve to be embarrassed by a flea flicker scored by perhaps the most obnoxious player on the field. No sympathy from me. 

Honestly I kinda get it. They were putting the exclamation point on their ship and staking a claim to being the premiered team in the league. 

Will save some salary. Remember he got a 150k off-seaon bonus.

We came in fat and happy. Practice? We don't need no stinking practice. Then the rust showed. The timing was off. The throws were off. The kicks were off. The fans were pissed off. 
It might be exactly what we needed to force the team to refocus and get down to business.

I thought our corners played pretty darned well. They have talent. They just lack experience. 

1st star Booch
2nd star me
3rd star the fans who stick around to watch this festival of diarrhea

They were 100% attacking zone at some points.  On several plays that went for first downs Ford just dropped into his deep third and watched the rest of the play happen in front of him.  We don't know what their keys are, but I assume they don't want guys to drop right out like that when the route from the slot is in breaking in a 3 man route.  At that point in any Cover 3 I've been a part of the corner is reading deep outside breaking route (none) and down to the wideout, not keep giving up depth for no reason.  The half has to cover that route to the safety and the SAM would trail the inside slot/tight end either way.
It was basically a free first down once they ran it a couple times and realized Ford was lost.  Then they just played with his eyes all night, short and deep.  Get him worried about smoke screens, run the setup to give that look and go over top of him.
Hopefully comes back with lessons learned from this experience because he hasn't played much actual football since he left U Sports.

To be honest...yeah they went to Ford's side of the field...but also were targeting the scheme and HB there..I know I am not a huge fan of Holm but he made a couple glaring errors which cost us...2 of which come to mind where people assume Ford was the issue...and he wasnt
