Schmitz has an appealing backstory, too: guy looking for a football home and keeping the faith after years and years. Easy guy to root for.

just look at this sick RPO. Hamilton #90 (Oli's old teammate Mason Bennett) chomps hard on the run fake and Collaros is completely clean as he rolls out and hits Woli for the TD. hell, I bet Collaros could have run for the TD if he'd picked up blocks from Schoen and Demski, he had so much field to work with. (edit: actually, I don't know if this was RPO or if it was just a straight up run fake.)

Little column A, little column B when it comes to Buck. On one hand, the Ticats had some real weak links out there and suspect play calling. On the other hand, Buck and Zach recognized those weaknesses fast and went at them without mercy. Like the RPO was lethal a bunch of times. Haven't seen anyone bite on RPO that hard since we had Streveller. And yeah those blind toss plays seemed real high risk and low reward. There's gotta be many many safer ways to get that misdirection. (Note: I know nothing about coaching football)

Yeah, Holm made some great plays on some terrible throws. The best thing was that he wasn't called for PI on any of them ... those throws were PI bait but Holm did not bite. But yeah I agree, if BLM has any deep touch, Holm has a rough game and perhaps the ticats even win. Block of the game: Bryant gets rumbling out ahead of Brady on a sweep and pancakes #3 George Jr. on Hamilton. Think this was in the 3Q. Junior had such a miserable game. The Bombers didn't just exploit or expose him: they bullied him.

witchcraft

intact eyes too.

43 Hamilton should've gotten called for holding or loose ball interference or something on that blocked punt. Had a good hold on Sheehan while he was pursuing the ball..

wasn't that Jackson making that nice kick cover tackle? BLM and White not tuned to the same station.

#3 Hamilton getting no breaks tonight: if he's not getting torched by Collaros, he's getting ragdolled by Bryant.

What's the opposite of throwing your receiver open?

why was Diallo doing the worm on that guy?

why was that whistled? ticats seem to have a legit gripe there.

White with zero luck tonight. He gets a step on his man and BLM misses him. He's covered and BLM throws a near pick to his man and he has to take a penalty to break up.

how long before Shiltz is starting for the cats? real slow whistle on Schoen's catch -- that scrum looked dangerous, esp with Hardrick blasting it.

BLM's deep game looking shaky.

"and you say it was ... this spider ... that had been drinking, sir?"

Forde not a hot dog man ... Dustin will pass on the big hats...

yeah .. that was a terrible ball but it looked like great PI bait. Holm played it clean tho, and that's the best part.

HOLM SWEET HOLM

I didn't get the number but damn one of our cover guys was working hard to get that holding call. Real O'Shea special team energy!

Ticats bit on that RPO like it was a sweet lechon hog!

unlike the crazy train, the Brady train stays on the rails...

Wolitarski with the lunch bucket catch and then it's showtime!

Collaros-Demski just killing them with the corner route, looking like Ray-Tucker out there.

BLM bad throw there? looks like he threw it over White's wrong shoulder....
