No QB is that good.

His throwing mechanics are almost identical to Dinwiddie. There is nothing wrong with any part of his release in his upper body, but he almost never settles his feet before he throws, which makes the ball sail.

I dunno, at least 2 of those TDs, the receiver was wide open (like 10 yards wide open) Banjo wasn't working. They were getting all tied up on who was supposed to take the inside or outside routes, that's what the Argos were exploiting. Really should have flipped to a more passive zone and force Ray to make a throw.

Boltus...the only QB who throws the ball right to DB's playing a prevent defence .

Making awful decision on punt returns too. He's only been doing it since 2009, think he'd know by now to come up and make an attempt on a short punt to get the 15 yard penalty. Then 2 punts later he catches it at our 5.

If Jovon had a clue he wouldn't field that punt. He lets punts bounce at our 30 but catches them at our 5

Sears could get suspended for that one, definitely a penalty. Can't lead with your head, and with a lot of intent, although that doesn't factor into penalty/fine/suspension. Dangerous hit for Sears too.

Lucky that one hit the upright...

Make-up call for the hold and missed head shot on Sears.

I know Chad Owens trains as a MMA fighter, but I don't think he wants to take on Johnny Sears.

Why would Collaros sign to backup/compete in Ottawa if he could start here, and likely make more money too?

First two drives, looks like the Argos learned the lesson from the 2nd half last week. Drop 8 into coverage and make Hall beat you with his arm.

Start the firings with whoever decided to wear gold pants with gold jerseys.

Irving & Penton thought Bombers could trade for Collaros then he decides to test free agency to see how much Ottawa is willing to offer. Why would Ottawa take that gamble? Ottawa will have a starting quarterback long before February 15. They need to sell tickets. Collaros could decide to wait for a NFL contract too.

If they trade for Collaros they are going all out to sign him too. Very hard to imagine a circumstance where Collaros would balk at the chance to start and earning starting money with 2+ months to negotiate. This isn't like Reilly where Wally put a gun to everyone's head 3 weeks before free agency.

Heaven forbid we lose Max Hall! What would we do?

The Argos blitzed 7 men only three times during the whole game. They were rushing 5 or 6 about half the time, but we were protecting with 6 the majority of the time, so it was rare that the Argos brought more men than we had in protection. Hall was completing passes at about the same rate regardless of how many Argos were rushing him. Completing 6 yard passes against aggressive coverage and 20 yard passes against the blitz...at the same rate.

From the Argos perspective, do they prefer a 3rd rounder or keeping their 7 & 8th best non imports? And a 2015 1st rounder conditional on signing Collaros. You can only lose one non-import, so that's a more than fair deal IMO.

For some reason Toronto started blitzing in the second half, and Hall was able to get around it. If the Argo defence had just played the same way as the first half, the score wouldn't have been close. We probably would have only gotten another 3 points. They would have scored more points on turnovers that our offence would have for sure You keep saying he was inaccurate -- how many passes did he throw that were off the mark during the first half? You seriously think our second half pass protection was above average? Well, if they blitz 7 they are going to get pressure. That also gave Hall a chance to complete a pass to someone wide-open, because he has trouble fitting the ball in against man or match zone coverages.

His broken leg has to heal first.

Explains the usually terrible preparations.

He's proven himself as a GM. He's a mediocre coach, but he's proven he can hire the right coaches and support staff, stay out of the way and find players.

Nobody wants to acquire players unless they have room to protect them in the draft. Argos also need compensation for losing a better NI than they would if they had Collaros as bait in the draft.

I think the offer would be a draft pick this year, maybe our 3rd, and a conditional 1st in 2015 based on the Bombers signing Collaros. Barker would have to decide if that's better value than being able to protect his 7th and 8th non-imports. Who knows, maybe he makes that decision knowing in the back of his mind he's heading to Winnipeg to be football operations overlord.
