I guess they really wanted the "biggest gong show" title over Hamilton.

Hey don't be so hard on yourself

Tagged myself. Chaosmonkey was supposed to do stoic face with me but DIDN'T.

I really like that we are resting the rooks a bit. They will benefit a lot from resting up and watching a couple games

Bottom line is we don't need him this year. I always worry with these guys with NFL aspirations that they will find the nearest PR to sit on for the rest of their career...but I'm not sure Gray is like that. I think we'll see him next year.

They needed to get rid of some locker room problems this past year. They're in a bit of a rebuild especially on offense.

The fight for 2nd in the East is real. Unless BC continues to tank.

Maybe in the future...doubt Branning will be considered for the extra DB position this year.

This whole Briles situation is covering up the fact that they just made a guy with no CFL coaching experience the head coach. Kent Austin back on the bench by years end?

I wouldn't be benching him solely on that. There's only so much room on the roster. I don't think it would kill his confidence or anything

I'd consider sitting Thorpe. I think that was his second fumble last week and Denmark has been doing a lot for us of late. But it may come down to scheme. I'm not down on Thorpe but he is a rookie!

Not to mention one of his five interceptions was last week in a hail mary throw before the half. Not even an error in judgement; just a hope and a prayer.

Thank you Chris Randle!

I have a lot of respect for that Montreal team. They had "one of those games" much like BC losing to Saskatchewan. (SJ Green/Duron Carter being unstoppable). Great teams rarely have "one of those games" but Montreal is still a good team and can steamroll you if you aren't at the top of your game. They beat Calgary...and they arguably should have beaten us. So I agree with you that we could lose this game. That said, we are 6-2 and are morphing into what could be considered a "great team". When we came back and beat Montreal was when belief turned into confidence. I fully expect to win this game because we're the better team and we don't take games off.

Don't ever remember having him

FWIW Reilly recorded 1 int this game but easily could have had 4 more but were wiped out via penalty or simply dropped by our DBs. Score really flattered the Eskimos just like the stats actually flattered Mike Reilly. Not saying he isn't a great QB but Nichols absolutely schooled him today.

The thing I like most about our secondary is that if a guy catches the ball they are paying the price.

Which seems pretty negligible considering they only passed for 216 yards last night. 38 were to the running back and there was one or two big screen plays and the broken tackles that led to the touchdown. Coverage was pretty darn good I thought.

As good of a defensive effort as weve had all year. Very little doubt as the game went on that we were going to pick up the W. Solid game

We're talkin practice. Probably fairly easy to pull off for a professional receiver... In practice, without coverage. Just saying

Weird. Does this mean he's staying around or is MOS sugar coating it?

I'm still optimistic about our offense given how Lankford and Thorpe played when they had to step up last week.

Probably going to be the kiss of death, but I thought Lankford handled himself very nicely. Drew a long PI call as well. Thorpe and Lankford, both have good size. Thorpe plays a really strong, run you over type game (replacement for Sheppard, but better imo), while Lankford has the speed to pull away from guys, and I think he's figured out how to really use it now.

Because it's a tautology.

The teams are so strong in the west. Can Ottawa win the Grey Cup with a worse record this year?
