Captain Blue

We definitely looked uninspired and made a whole bunch of mistakes, but also we outgained them by pretty much every metric. Toronto had some explosive plays early but otherwise barely did anything after that. Yes I realize that was with backups but we battled back from our early deficit fine.

Bombers in some real trouble tonight. Just something off again. Always something just not clicking.

Defense is just awful, really concerned. It would help at least if they called some holds but can't count on those too many times either. Argos seem like a bunch of buffoons but they're playing well.

Montreal needs Evans at QB in the second half to even have a chance at winning this. Fajardo can't handle the pressure at all.

No I get it, I'm just not sure they feel the same way. I assume and would hope that they are comfortable with say Jeffcoat playing a high number of snaps if they are playing only 6 DL. I think this point has been beaten so thoroughly here that we haven't given much thought to if there are alternative reasons why they would make the decision they have. I am not even saying Osh is correct in this decision, just that I think a stance has been taken here and we haven't looked at potential reasons why they haven't made a change.

I am not against dressing more DL to help with a rotation, but I would also mention that this point is overblown given how good our defense has been this year. It's the CFL, all defenses are going to get beat up a bit sometimes. For my money I think the offense is much more problematic. Collaros has struggled far more this year protecting the ball and the offense as a whole is way more inconsistent (compared to the defense). And despite all that I still think we are the best team in the league. Toronto certainly has a good argument as well given the better record and defending champ title but I want to see how they handle things when the schedule is more compressed.

Listen I promise I have read the points that you have repeatedly mentioned for many weeks, but this is nonsense. Osh has constantly preached about starting a new week, moving on, etc. This is the best team in the league. That's not complacency, that's consistency. Funny enough today he made some roster changes and I don't think they were useful today. Parker was brutal.

I must admit that I think Buck has struggled this year. Thought he was the perfect fit for Collaros but sometimes I fear he exacerbates Collaros' weaknesses, which is where we get bogged down in feast or famine chunk plays.

Still think the Riders were awfully lucky - as always - on Labour Day. Refs had put those flags away.

I hate losing to this dirtbag organization. Better punch them in the mouth next week hard.

This league is a complete joke. Where is the command centre? Throw him out

If people don't reiterate the same points several times a day how will I know how they feel on the topic?

This was one heck of a weird beat down. Collaros gave them 14 points and we still won by 30.

Nothing would have made me laugh more if Damian Jackson had gotten a TD.

If Fajardo moves any more before the snap the man may poop his pants

Zach just making some brutal decisions. Sleeping on defenders.

What a weird and ugly game. Road win with a backup QB sounds good but we are lucky to come out of there with this one. Stunned we just didn't roll Oliveira more. Buck seemingly called the same pass concepts over and over...zone reads with a lead pass catcher out of the backfield...that was tough. Kudos to the defense for winning the game.

Offensive plan is just so confusing.

Steinauer is a genius. Grew a moustache so that it would look like Hamilton already changed coaches.

Whole team battled back hard tonight. Ya we had some gaffes but coming back from 22 down with a backup QB is impressive no matter the opponent. Now just gotta hope Zach is okay.

What a stupid defensive coverage there. Open space will always favour the fast receiver.

Maybe this is why the CFL has a quality issue, can't even protect the QBs.

Refs asleep?

Our defense really just can't play against a running QB. No contain, no control.

Both coaches were awful. Somehow Dyce was worse. Crum looked pretty bad too.
