Aside from the fact that this is a repulsive thing to do
Does this offence require that the person charged understand that it is a criminal act? I think probably yes.
I wouldn't be surprised if Messam didn't know it was a crime.
The way things are these days, I think a lot of people would find this surprising.
Ignorance of the Law is not an excuse in criminal proceedings.

Yes - the double reverse flea flicker play at about the Argo's 30 yard line.. usually flea flickers are designed to get the defensive backs to bite on the run, but from where they were on the field, the Argo defenders could recover on route coverage because the ball was already at about the 30 yard line.
On top of that - having the ball change hands three times (Nichols -> Player A -> Player B -> Nichols) before making a pass is asking a lot from your offensive line, as the play takes longer to develop, not to mention more laterals means more steps where things can go wrong.
But then none of that happened did it? So you are complaining about nothing, and it is not in keeping with your screen name

The league doesn't need more challenges. One a game is plenty.
What the league does need is for the "eye in the sky" to overturn painfully obvious calls that a challenge shouldn't be wasted on.
If that's what it takes I'm all for it...I just think 1 challenge for an obvious bad call...like in a few games past week is 1 short for a team.
Eye in the sky to fix the problem, fine, but they better review the whole play. There was one last week where it took two challenges
1 from each team to get it right, so that was it. I think 1 per half is not excessive and won't always be used.

That's not what I said or meant...I think one more for gross ref mistakes would be fine.

I would assume he means one each team per half would be 4.
Correct....That does not mean they would all get used however. Just seems to me that when the refs really bungle
it like they often do, there should at least be a remedy.

One is just fine. More than enough. That would mean 4 per game & I don't think fans want that.Save it for when it is truly needed. We go entire games now without challenges & it is great.
How do you get 4 out of one per half? New math?

An 8th round pick is tantamount to having been released.
It is a conditional pick and we don't yet know the conditions

...I was referring to 2002 when Lapo was the OC here as well, and Khari was the quarterback, hence why I also mentioned Charles Roberts and Milt Stegall.
Lapo is a guy that would rather give a carry to Andre Sadeghian with the game on the line (and he did for the folks that remember that name - and failed miserably) than give a guy more than 13 carries with a YPC over 10 in a game that you led all the way until the final moments of the fourth quarter
Yup...let's go back to 2002 so you can criticize him today. Guess you are exactly the same as you were in 2002!

plop has always had a tendency to out smart him self. We should run a lot more play action. And he has to be smarter with his selection of when he gets tricky. Calling qb off tackle out side of field goal range is a great idea rather then up the gut. Inside the 2 its not.
Sounds like you know more about being an offensive coordinator than La Police...you should apply

The point is that this is not the first time this has happened with a Hall bend but don't break and/or prevent defence, so whether they
are tired or not is only a small factor...He does not put the defence in a position to win most times.

the db was right on top of him as the ball was coming in. Not pi, but also not an automatic catch by any means. that was a heavily forced pass. The real blame goes to plop on that one though. With such a gigantic field, why do we have all ours wrs with in like 10 yards of the same spot? just makes it easy to cover...
Adams was down on the turf...which didn't help...but there should not have been two receivers that close, and that was not a ball that should have been thrown by Nichols

A couple of thoughts about last night's game: Franklin is the real thing- another Damon Allen in the making, and we ought to go easy on Suitor- he is paid to hype the game and as as many commentators, will focus on a theme for the game to avoid looking wishy-washy. And Wynn ought to be suspended for at least one game and fined. There cannot be any excuse for that sort of thuggery on a vulnerable player.
Suitor makes idiotic comments and keeps repeating himself to the point of being extremely annoying. Doesn't matter what he is paid for...he is failing.

Disagree. If O'Shea does not have the gonads to do what has to be done if it comes to that, he disqualifies himself as a head coach.
Yeah that's great...so we would be looking for a head coach and defensive coordinator!

I voted "No" as I believe this is Osh's decision. A board and senior management should not micro manage a head coach. GM and the board get involved in selection of the HC, but they should leave the assistant coaching decisions for the HC to make. I have great confidence in Osh and believe he will take us to the promised land.
Generally agree with you, but with Hall's track record it would hardly be micro managing. If O'Shea is too stubborn or loyal to do what is necessary then Walters has to step in. If he is not willing it would have to be escalated.

If you read then I would suggest you read again....I am not blaming Streveler for anything. What I said was I'm not sure he has the arm strength to throw the ball downfield. When he attempts it he is normally under throwing the receiver....review the games for proof. I like the guy and hope he can throw the long ball....he just hasn't shown it yet. On another note when someone posts something you oppose, which is their right to post and your right to oppose, perhaps it would be civil to respond in a less than demeaning manner? It only downgrades your character. Oh and by the way I do wear glasses and they are clean so I can see, but thanks for the tip.
sensitive are we?

Listen to O'Shea near the end of the press conference talk about how they
were not generally playing off the ball in the 3rd and 4th quarters.
I think he needs an optometrist

I believe it has been said for over 3 years now that Hall's defense is outdated in the CFL. MOS said after last year that he was going to be more involved in the defense....is he and if he is what has changed? In my opinion nothing much. In two games against worthy opponents, we have been torched for over 480 yards in each. The other game, against Montreal, well I can't really count that one but will give credit that we stopped them to a respectable number. Point being made is we have been told we have a better group of DBs who have been brought in and those who remain have a year of experience under their belts. The results are the same; open receivers, too soft coverages, broken coverages, poor tackling, little pressure and the list goes on. Is it the talent or the system the talent is playing in? Seems to me if we have better talent and are still getting burned, it must be the system. So if it is the system why hasn't MOS changed it as he said he would? If it is the system why hasn't Hall recognized that after 3 years and corrected it.
On another note, while the game was not great in the first half, we were nonetheless in the game. Hamilton made adjustments and I can only suggest we didn't because they clobbered us in the third quarter! This again is a very similar scenario from last year, no adjustments at half time and other teams making them that resulted then and now to disaster in the third quarter.
Is it player ability, is it player mentality or is it coaching? I'll leave that answer up to you for judgement.
On the offense, LaPo does not, will not or cannot stretch the field. His mentality is to throw short or at best medium routes and hope for YAC yards. This has not changed since he was here first as an OC many moons ago. He, as many have stated, overthinks things and that results to a stifling offense which is easily defended....see third and fourth quarter results. Most great coaches utilize the strengths of their individual players and minimize their weaknesses. I look at Adams and Bowman, two receivers who do not like going over the middle or crossing routes but are more adept at deep patterns. What are they being asked to do....run crossing patterns. They are not going to catch or for that matter make any great effort to catch a somewhat catchable ball....they do not want to get clocked! So utilizing the strengths of your players rates a failing grade for LaPo yet again.
Then there is our rookie QB. While I like him and like him a lot, and after only 3 games, I think he has a fundamental flaw unless of course it is LaPo doing his thing again. I don't think he can throw a long ball. I don't think his mechanics will permit him to throw a 30 or 40 yard ball. Interestingly every time he has thrown long with success it has been the receiver either coming back to the ball or the defender falling down. What ever happened to throwing to a spot? Ever notice that our receivers are seldom in full stride catching a ball but rather are stationary? Just my observation.
So I guess we now know where we stand with our rookie QB and new players. We frankly are no further ahead that where we were last year, not that the final standing from last year were anything to sneeze about. Expectations and the rhetoric was we were going to be so much better with the new talent etc and here we stand, 1-2 with a defense that continues to allow tons of yards and points and an offense that when needed fails to execute for whatever reason.
Now I know there will be those who say it is only game 3 and you are right......but beware in the two games where we played quality teams we were beaten badly. And as someone else has said we won't win anything with a Hall defense. Hope I am wrong but it sure looks similar to last year.
You are out to lunch to blame Streveler for anything...and about his arm put your glasses on.

It was 6 in a row they said at one point. That means one tired defence for us.
Of course they were tired, they couldn't stop a flea...that wasn't the reason they were terrible
it was the game plan, and they never adjusted. I don't blame the players only one person to
blame on defence...and it's not the offence
