The impact is who is coming up here in the first place.

Hall's defenses here in general have been great at turning over the ball. That is what is missing this year, combined with offense turning the ball over and special teams too often losing field position battle makes the margin for this team to win games much slighter. It's mostly on the O to come out with points early. D has had a handful of dominant games but not a lot of big plays. Pass rush is not very impactful and coverages are not at all aggressive.

I think a few of those decisions could have been made this past off-season. A little bit of a cruise control vibe to the team like they just have to turn it on for playoffs. The whole going easy one week and responding the next is kind of a tough one to me. But doesn't seem like the organization seems to fret about it. Like if we got a rematch with Hamilton next week we'd probably win by 40. But maybe we can play with that energy the first time. Don't really have the depth this year to pick up the slack.

Yeah I don't think we matchup great with Argos, and haven't been a good road team at all. Could very well end up 12-6 and hosting West Semi. Older crew seem to be losing steam. Hopefully bye can reanimate them. Aside from Banjo Bowl haven't come out too hot out of the gates. Picked it up in 2nd half in some games. Not sure we can continue that into Argos game and October against other desperate teams.

Based on how we've played on the road this season I'm not hopeful about our prospects to end up 1st in the West or get to the Grey Cup.

I mean on the field that's impossible. They should be able to have consistency in the video reviews.

Dyce handed the game over with that long FG attempt when he had control of the game. Give the Lions the ball inside their 10 needing to score twice inside 2 mins. Game over. Punt a rouge by accident. They need a TD, 2 point convert and FG to tie you. Opened the game up with the missed FG they didn't cover.

And they have no ability to run even though they have a running QB. Scheme is all drop backs. Can't bring that coaching staff back next year.

This one isn't going to OT. Ottawa completely let up in this 4th quarter.

That's what I mean. Should have a top notch run game with Crum. They don't.

Think they might kick deep. Ottawa has a running QB ffs. How do they not have any run game schemed up?

Yeah pin them or even if you get the rouge you make it 11.

Well...Dyce just fired himself. Should just put the headset down and walk away.

I'd like to see Hall start more aggressive and scale back than start so passive in terms of coverage and try to scale up the aggression. There are known entities for schemes and QB's and then there's guys like Powell and Crum. Force them to make throws, don't make it simple, don't sit back. No reason to fear their arms until they make you.

Way worse than Lapo. Just no adjustment for situation and too much reliance on Crum in pocket.

Khari is a really poor OC.

Rather be down TD and FG than two TD's which is what it is either way if you kick for 3. Have to think you aren't necessarily going to pitch shutout on Ottawa for rest of game either.

God Suitor is so ignorant. "Time Count...vi-uh-lation....Ottawa number 90...18"

Campbell can't pull off the beard.

Adams just goes headfirst into the shoulder pads of a DB and conc's himself.

Ottawa wants into the West Division playoffs.

Not sure a legal one. Crown of helmet to facemask. Shouldn't be legal. That's a killshot on a guy already being tackled.

Vernon Adams is truly awful.

Yeah hard to judge based on guys coming in to play that extra spot especially in run sets. That's just pure fire off and hammer an end usually in a double and work to a backer or straight up take a backer (215 vs 320) if they line up bear. If Eli and Dobson weren't beating up those guys on the edge run blocking you'd be worried about them. When Dobson played guard he struggled to hold his inside gap when the D blitzed and got put on skates by DT's. Dobson had to really adjust to pass protecting on the edge in that max protect set they ran a bunch for a few weeks. I wonder about Eli in Hardrick's spot eventually if he keeps his weight down.

Based on decisions both teams made to punt or kick FG seemed to be a 10-15 yard difference, both took longer kicks going left to right on broadcast, punted going opposite way.
