Captain Blue

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.

Dyce's turn to potentially cost Ottawa, should have gone for the TD.

And that’s why Pigrome lost the role he had with the Bombers.  That was a terrible short yardage attempt

Lots of things went wrong that drive. Absurdly soft coverage by both corners allowed Crum to play pitch and catch on that series, and Bighill's absolute comical whiff at the 10 yard line (or so) on Crum were brutal. I just think blaming that game as a whole on roster management when you consider everything that happened that game, IMO, is an extreme exaggeration.
Time and time again, O'Shea preaches execution. If we do our job and execute, the game isn't close.

I agree.  The roster management complaint is a minor issue, a mountain out of a molehill, IMO. I understand why the detractors have concerns but they are blowing it out of proportion.

The air horns really are annoying, whether you're in the stands or listening on TV. Still seems odd to me that the league is alright with that potentially impacting the entertainment value of the product.

Fun game. Crum looks pretty good. Maier has thrown for a million yards tonight but his arm looks so weak, in my opinion.

Easy to root for Bobby Dyce. Happy for him.

Defense had very few big mistakes all night despite being placed in awful situations consistently, particularly the first half. Burned on some QB scrambles and one deep throw. Really don't have concerns about them. Can see how big Jeffcoat's impact is since he's been back.

Game was closer than expected for a while but a 14 point win despite spending the first half removing various toes is fine with me. OL looked better, we will see if there are any future changes as Collaros looked frustrated at times.

Too much talent on this offense to be this bad. They're just not clicking. 

I have to admit to a completely different viewpoint on Osh's style. He doesn't need to change his personality or attitude or whatever you want to define it as. The idea of the 'ass-kicking coach' frankly is antiquated. That is a quick way to burn bridges and get fired. 
He treats his players with respect and asks the same in return. There is a reason why people speak so highly of the team culture here. Nobody this far into a professional career - coach or player - should need fear as a motivator. In fact I believe it was Buono who said something like his job wasn't to motivate the players, but to get rid of the ones who need to be motivated. 
It's that sense of brotherhood that will help teams get through tough times, in my opinion. 
This team has some big issues that need to be fixed. They've also been the best team in the league by a decent distance the past few years. It was inevitable that they would come back to the pack a bit as players age and other teams improve.
