I know it's minor, but what was up with the snaps?I swear Nichols had to reach for 1/2 of them.
Picard's snaps have been lottery tickets all year. Their wandering nature is somewhat mitigated by their slowness, it gives the QB time to locate and catch them.
How minor a deal is it that the QB has to take half a second to receive the wandering snap? Timing is so critical in a lot of these plays, if the snap is a slow I bet it has repercussions later in the play.

The suggestion by a previous poster was that making catches over the middle is causing Moores injuries. I'd like to see Denmark take over those routes and Moore as the deep guy, regardless of where they lineup.
Yes, what we need to do is make our offense more predictable.

I used to love the old Seahawks jerseys & helmets. That green, silver & blue was nice. The only thing that makes the new look palatable is they're winning wearing them.
The Hawks are another team that looked far, far better in royal blue.

Seeing those jerseys makes me feel twelve years old again, when I first became a fan. Love 'em.
What's our record in them? As far as I can remember our only wins in royal blue was the 2013 Banjo Bowl and the 2011 home opener vs. the Argos.

I just read on Twitter that the ORFU will no longer participate in the Grey Cup tournament.
It's a damn shame. I think the game's gotten too commercial, what do you think?

I believe people should have the right to refuse service to whomever. (Not counting essential services like paramedics and such)
I think issuing marriage licenses is a pretty essential service.
With the way health insurance runs down here, marriage can literally be a matter of life or death.

If I see Mesam before the game I'll yell the same at him, "Hey Messam, I ****** your mom last night!" Guaranteed Bomber win.

Doesn't running a 3-4 leave you vulnerable to the run game? You're gonna have more OLs getting to linebackers.
We ran 3-4 during the glory days in the 80s, but Ty Jones was mainly a pass rush guy instead of a linebacker.

Not in the cfl anymore. Not anywhere to my knowledge
Looks like he was in the Argos' camp this season, but when you harvest the bumper crop of receivers that they did, you don't need Aaron Kelly.

Montreal rolled out an Edmonton castoff and went on a big run last year ... let's hope it works out as good for us.

Bass or Wild. I don't know if Simmons has the speed.If Simmons is as good as he was with Ottawa, the thought of a Simmons-Bass-Wild linebacking corps makes me positively giddy.
Who of those 3 is covering a slotback?
You seriously want one of those guys covering receivers like Green and Dressler?
This team uses two linebackers, not three. Our D is a 4-2-6. Hell, it looks like a 5-1-6 on a lot of occasions because Hurl's usually jumping into a gap right after the snap.

JBR, it sounds like you broke down Marve's last game a lot ... what was called, who he was looking at, how much time he had, how Calgary defended him with a disciplined pass rush, and so forth -- would love to read a blog post dissecting all that stuff. Bring back 2nd and 10!
(The complete game is on youtube, so you could even embed video links...)

These are super interesting but they seem off. Want to see more about the methodology.
Also, Calgary at 8th in yards per rush doesn't seem right -- my numbers have them at 5th after all week 9 games. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jP_cypt8ZfpOxDRSNNkYYBG_Cfl3IHJ-EWysW5X1r7c/edit#gid=0. Though the margin between 5 and 8 is super tight -- just 1/10 of a yard. Maybe Mark's numbers are for an earlier week.
Good lord, Saskatchewan is great at running the ball this year.

I think Garrett was the best back we've had since Roberts and we haven't seen his equal since, though Marshall is looking good. Garrett didn't quite have Reid's massive burst, but I remember him playing way stronger. That 6.7 yard average in 2011 wasn't a few 90-yard run and dozens of 2-yard runs. He was a reliable producer with the rock. When he blew out his Achilles in 2012 before the season even started, I was seriously bummed.
Simpson, no thanks. All that juking and jiving and east-west running he did out there, trying to win the game by himself, made him look more like a rookie kick returner than a starting running back. Take away that big game he had against Toronto (the one where Adriano Belli put away his sailor suit and came out of retirement and was in way over his head) and he really wasn't that great for us.

Life's too short...
It's easy. See a football on the left, scroll down. Keep seeing footballs, keep scrolling. 5 or more posts in a row without a football, backtrack and see if there is something finally worth reading.
It's like you're sitting there with the remote control in your hand but can't stop complaining about how bad the show is.
This board has a great ignore list feature .. but when people feed the trolls, it becomes less useful, alas.

Sure I'd love to see Ian Wild back here, but as a dimeback? C'mon, seriously. Who here would prefer to have Wild and not Randle regularly covering guys like Dressler or S.J. Green?
That trio would be sick.Would a trio of Bass, Simmons and Wild as WIL, MAC and SAM respectively workable.
I mean I get that the SAM is technically a DB spot but I would think Wild can be a cover guy, he is listed 6.00 208 (not sure if accurate) so I dont think he's too heavy for that position plus he got a good speed and played safety in college.
Remember that -- outside of short yardage situations -- we are running a 4-2-6 defence. We have only two linebackers. So I doubt there's a way we'll see all three on the field at once.

Three straight years of chaos in Montreal.
2103: Dan Hawkins and AC publicly spar, Hawkins fired after five games, Popp takes over.
2014: Worman / Dinwiddie / Garcia / who's the OC?
2015: Michael Sam / John Bowman / Higgins / Popp
Very glad to see they're still pulling 20K+ fans because man they are starting to look like a clown show.
MRI results in, Collaros out for the season ...

This season ******* sucks.
I hate seeing great CFL players go down like this. I don't care who they play for. Love the way Collaros plays -- very nice collection of agility and accuracy.
Burris is the MOP now, I guess? Assuming he doesn't suffer a career-ender next week....but the guy has been freakishly durable throughout his career.
