Against some guys you don't want to give them a bunch of time to sit and pick you apart, but against someone like Masoli I think you are far better off just letting him have time and making him think. All he did on Friday night was drop back and throw the ball to where his pre-snap read took him. Blitzing didn't do ****, especially when you give guys a 5 yard cushion because the ball was out to a wide open man before anyone can get there. Shoulda cluttered up those intermediate routes and made him make some actual decisions with the ball.

Considering that the only reason Willy left the game was concussion protocol I'd say you are mistaken. Willy is obviously not taking the reps cause he's hurt, he was actually doing reasonable well in that game and had he not left for the concussion protocol I bet the Als win by a greater margin.

This seems to be the kind of team playing that has made America so ****** up. Until I see some guilt anywhere this is just people who don't like Trudeau trying to win one against him.

Trudeau apologizes so much it's got no meaning.

Oh something woulda happened, but considering the person it happened to isn't saying anything and it's all about other people banging the drum, that tells me that the assault probably wasn't assault and it's a witch hunt. Until we get some actual details I'm going to assume this is just people trying to play "gotcha!" with the prime minister.

Yeah but the defense didn't get themselves off the field in the first half either when the offense was moving the ball. If they were tired it's their own fault for not getting themselves off the field. How many punts did Hamilton have? I think they had their first punt late in the 2nd quarter and then I don't remember another one until about 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter... Sometimes the D has to step up and get the ball back for a rookie qb when things get bogged down. Let the offense get things going cause as it was they were standing around on the sidelines with their thumbs up their asses because of the defense most of the night.

Innocent until proven guilty anyone? I mean Trudeau is an idiot but this story doesn't seem to have many legs outside of people looking for something to pin on Trudeau.

Both coordinators can be their own worst enemy at times. The default for both is to play not to lose which is infuriating.

So this should bump up the bombers 2 first round picks this year right? All in all pretty sweet. This is of course assuming the Als wind up dead last.

At least the BC protection is lacking, that does benefit our defense. Plus Jennings can always decide to just throw the game away at a moments notice.

Like Jennings always plays.

Dumb shits do what dumb shits do. The one sequence in particular just shows how bad an idea him playing corner is... He gets beat but the safety comes over and saves his ass by breaking up the pass but Carter turns around and takes a completely stupid roughing penalty to move Montreal down the field. Just unreal how a guy can do **** like that and his coach still happily says he's playing the position. Any other db in the league played like Carter does they'd have been cut a long time ago.

Yeah the D was starting 10 yards off and dropping deeper then coming up to make the tackle after 8 or 9 yards. Great planning. Should have let Hamitlon keep max protection and only sent the 4 on the DL all night and dropped everyone into coverage, make Masoli thread some passes in rather than the easy pitch and catch all night long. People on this website knew that trying to blitz against Hamiltons protection would be useless, why didn't Ritchie Hall?

I think it's because the only play that worked for Jones last season was pulling Glenn and putting Bridge into the game. That move works because Bridge has at least a bit of experience and it totally changes how a team has to defend because Glenn and Bridge are stylistically such different qbs. You yank Bridge for a less experienced qb of the same ilk though and what are you really changing? All you're doing is flat out downgrading the most important position on the field. Jones thinks he is a hell of a lot smarter than he is and it's costing his team games. I for one love it.

Terrible roster management leads to loss to cfls biggest dumpster fire. Suck on that Jones.

This is why willy is the Al's qb.... still better than the other **** they have.

Handicap your offense to not fix your defense. Chris Jones ladies and gentlemen

Bridge is an awful quarterback and Carter is an awful cornerback.

Play calling on D? How about the entire game plan was **** from snap one? The damage was done in the week leading up not so much on game day. Bombers went in with the 100% wrong idea and it blew up in their faces.

Yeah Streveler is too much of a fighter to roll over when things get tough. May not be perfect all the time but his attitude is the right one. Just tough to be a rookie qb when the D is not doing a single thing to help you and your offensive coordinator can't figure out what kind of plays to call against the D you are facing.

Nah you can replace a coordinator any time you want, it's not like the head coach.

I disagree with this, special teams were good, we just didn't see them a lot returning kicks because Hamilton was always scoring and by the end of the game they had covered too many punts. Early on Hamilton wasn't doing **** on returns.

Nothing would have changed if we'd had Nichols there. The D still would have sunk themselves by not pressuring Masoli and not covering receivers. You can't win a game when the D gives up clock murdering drives time after time after time after time.

I don't think it needs to come from upper management.

Oshea is patient but he's not stupid. He won't let this continue for ever. That mic on him last night did show some frustration from him.
