Wilder sure isn't too involved for the Argos. Trestman trying to shut down the hype?

A 45 yard pass across the field for a potential one yard gain to the tight end....great read Zach.

Henry is so dirty. Just headbutted Wilder helmet to helmet on the turf. No call.

And basically punching Ronnie Yell in the face as he makes his break on his 2nd catch. Collaros is a mess so far.

They didn’t need to stop the clock. Clock stops after every play inside 3 minute warning until the 20 second clock starts. Would have been more advantageous to keep the clock moving as much as possible and either kick to win with no time left or get to OT and take your chances.

Field was a puddle.

I think that had more to do with the field basically being a big puddle at that point, going for 2.

Well I think it’s time we play coverages with more safety support and stop sending LB/Loffler blitzes every passing down in such a predictable fashion. The Eskimos were laughing at our blitzes by the 2nd half. Loffler in coverage was a huge liability in this game, total non-factor. Better as a blitzer but we need an actual safety otherwise it’ll be another year of getting torched by Eskimos, Stampeders, Lions Ticats and Argos.

Fogg had a pick in the end zone.

500 yards of offense to 300. We dominated field position for long stretch in first half and struggled to get first downs. Came out of that rut and then couldn’t get more than a first down in the 4th quarter to close. You can’t sit on a lead against a dynamic offense like Edmonton. Maybe against Montreal or BC.

Both coordinators need to think about their instincts...and do the opposite at least half the time. If Richie is itching to send both backers on a blitz, maybe drop 8-9 into coverage. If Lapo wants to run empty backfield on 1st and 10 maybe toss out a tight end and Harris next to the QB.

Consistency is lacking on both sides of the ball and that’s beyond any QB issue.

Lapo runs too much empty backfield with any QB, but it’s worse with a rookie. Why show yourself to be one dimensional? So much easier to defend. Some of his play designs incorporate amazing misdirection that opens up big plays, think the one up the seam to Dressler, but then we can go a whole quarter without seeing any of that and watching our offense go 2 and out repeatedly.

That offensive performance was not very good. D didn’t make a play for a very long stretch, but on the whole did a good job getting off the field when the offense was inconsistent as we knew it would be given the QB situation. Blitzing Bighill and Loffler/JSK on almost every 2nd and medium/long was way too obvious, especially when they line up on the line most of the time too. Leave way too much of the middle open for Reilly. Pass rush was good in general, lots of holds, run game a non factor. Streveler was alright but they need to get a little more creative and make the run more of a factor. Teams are going to be scheming against what they saw. Some good misdirection tonight but lacking that consistent run game. Hated the play calling on the last drive, over a minute, just need a FG attempt, no need to rest the game on Streveler’s arm and reads. Plenty of time under 3 to run and gain first downs, set up that kick or at least bleed the clock.

Already sick of the Thursday Night Football song.

There's 4 DI's for a few years now.

Big storm is coming...I'm just west of the city and it's pretty intense. If this comes close to the stadium I can't see them avoiding a delay.

Hope there's no bullshit lightning delay.

I wondered when I first saw the roster if they might dress 7 OL with Foketi and run some double TE sets with both him and Couture, sit Bryant and Lankford. Guess it depends how crazy they want to go with option stuff. Jake Thomas has also played some tight end in the past.

If he throws about 20 passes we have a good chance to win. If he throws more that means we fell behind early and probably got blown out.

They have enough experience with **** QBs to know that throwing 3 yard passes all night without a run threat isn’t going to get them anywhere.

Ya he is. He’s a place holder.

I might have dressed another DB over Lankford. TBH I’d probably dress Bryant over him. A fresh DL vs Reilly could be huge.

TSN needs way less Derek Taylor. Get a coach on the panel/broadcast again.
