Well here is something to consider... Nichols and Streveler today both came out 10/20 in completions for the same number of yards. So that to me says the OC is a much bigger factor than the qbs.

Our Canadian receivers are better than our american ones, start them all and play Leggett at safety when he's healthy and problems solved. Though if they keep using the safety the same way they use Loffler it won't really matter.

Oh man wasn't it Dirty Sanchez with a brutal blindside hit on Stegall at one point? I'd be surprised if Stegall and Sanchez like each other at all.

No, he is at fault for turtling the game plan after Gaitor gave the team a 10 point lead.

No I would have applauded his choice to actually show some faith in his team executing a simple play. That wasn't the first time he tried some sneaky bullshit on 2nd and 3 either. Sometimes in situations like that you can just play smash mouth football and trust your guys to get you some yards. Hell get it close enough that gambling is a consideration. We got the hogs up front to do it. My beef with Lapo is how often he tries to be the smartest guy in the room, when in a lot of cases simple plays executed well would serve better.

And yet he started out throwing on target but first pass the receiver fell, then he had back to back drops on throws right on the money... then the game plan stopped using our best player Harris and we started running these scaredy cat plays. Lapo is handcuffing this team badly. Hell Streveler threw a pick as well and didn't find a lot of targets. Lapo is the biggest problem with this team right now.

It's an issue with the play calling. It's terrible. Lapo is far worse than Hall at this point in the season. Halls defense deserved to win the last 2 game for sure and I'd argue they did enough in Calgary with any support from the offense.

So we did the defenses job for them.... It's ******* football, sometimes you make the other team stop you. Harris is this offense this year, you take him out all on your own you deserve to lose.

That first pick I blame on Lapolice to be honest, why in gods name, in 2nd and 3 in scoring position do we empty the backfield? Slam Harris up the gut and worst case we kick a field goal. We got a good OL right>? Should be able to pound Harris. He did a lot of that stupid crap today. Like I said, Nichols did some bad things but the game plan didn't give him any help at all.

AFter the last few games whey is hall gone and Lapo a maybe? Hall has been way way better this stretch than Lapo has. Lapo has sucked the life out of the offense and both qbs. He's coaching to not lose which is dragging this team down into the depths of hell, just like he did the last two times we fired him.

Not single handedly though, he had a lot of help ******* that game up. Receivers dropped passes, the game plan was utter **** for both qbs. Why did we take Harris completely out of the game? I put way way more blame on Lapolice for this. He needs to do a better job of giving his qbs a chance.

O'shea is a good coach hate to lose him. Lapolice can GTFO any time though.

Wolitarsky and peterman only receivers doing anything today.

Lapo is doing no one any favors. He is not a good play caller at all and never has been.

Can we put the blame on lapo yet?

Well I don't like the early drops which hurt confidence and I don't like the game plan which isn't helping a struggling QB at all either.

Not Nichols alone, but the pressure is in his head now and for his own good and the good of the team he needs to sit right now.

That one was all Nichols. That's a dumb dumb play.

That pick 6 should have been a hand off up the gut not the bullshit lapo is calling.

Bitching about Nichols, how about all the drops he's had and the dumb assed 2nd and 3 play calls?

Obvious answer is Flanders won't be a di and then he can sub for Harris no problems

God Burris is just awful to listen to.

Because we still have to have a backup qb on the roster so it's 70K on top of a full roster of salaries. This is a team that is spending quite a bit on salary and unlike the Riders our GM attempts to stay under the cap so as not to incur fines.

Lapo hasn't changed at all as an offensive coordinator. Still the same stuff he was doing here in 2002 except he doesn't have Stegall, Bruce and Jones to make the deep shots work.
