Bit of a chicken/egg scenario your're creating. If the Offence wants more time on the field they need to produce first downs consecutively, not look to the D to give them the ball back just so they can go right back out and squander another opportunity with a 2 and out. Obviously they lost as a team but considering the temp. at field level last night was extreme with added high humidity these conditions exacerbate the T.O.P. difference and once the front 7 were bagged, the DB's were basically left on their own at the hands of Masoli.
Of course they should look to the D to give them the ball back. Every offence wants that! Our D was terrible!
The whole point is that the O cannot get into any kind of a rythm when they are sitting on the sidelines
for 5 or 10 minutes!

There is no way that Leggett should be returning anything. Bad coaching again.
Once a player has had an injury like his, they are never close to 100 percent until
the 2nd year, and some don't even get close to that. There are all sorts of studies to back that up.
This is just another example of bad coaching decisions,

Dumb analysis? The lack of offence had nothing to do with the end result?
How can there be an efficient offence when they are hardly on the field because the defence
is allowing time consuming long drives, with no one s within five yards of each hamilton
receiver? Offence can't get into any kind of rhythm. Dropped passes don't help.
Give us a break...it was a poor defensive plan from start to finish, and no adjustments were
made at half time. The offence did not lose us the game, the defence did as soon as it
stepped on the field.

Here's my big concern ... guys like Muamba. QBs are a hunted species in the CFL and Bomber QBs especially. Should be interesting to see if the league punishes Muamba sufficiently for head-hunting.

And you know Hall picks the players? The GM and player personnel gurus bring in the players that the position coaches are left to work with and then collectively the coaching staff picks. Give them a basket of rotten apples and you get to pick the least rotten ones I guess.
Yeah right...we have a bunch of rotten apples, which got us to the playoffs last year. Sure you need good players, but how the defence is run makes the huge difference. With the SAME players we have, and Chris Jones for a defensive coordinator, things would improve by a large amount.

Another thank you...makes it even easier for me.

Do you have TSN at home? If so you should be able to watch the game on TSN's website, you just have to sign in through your cable provider.

Atomic....yes we have Shaw...thank you much appreciated...signed in and now watching. I will capture it
and watch it on the big screen.

Com'n guys this is a legitimate request for someone who could not get to see the game. The thread is being
high jacked.

We lost our power when the storm started and didn't get it back until 5:15AM
I had set the pvr to record until about 5AM but that didn't do me any good.
If anyone has the ability to edit the delays out of the game and post somewhere
it would be very much appreciated.

I don’t necessarily agree on point one. Bond is literally the only guy his own scouting staff has brought in. Hardrick and Bryant shouldn’t fall under that category.
Point two is fair but that’s certainly not something I’m arguing against.
Point three is fair as well though I would argue that paying for free agents is the easiest part of a GM’s job. The scouting work is already done on these guys and teams don’t generally win based on the strengths of their free agent signings solely because it’s generally not a cost effective way of building.
Seeing as you want to disparage Walters so much...guess you would like to have Joe Mack back.

Ross has shown the ability to make reads and distribute the ball much better to run a full offense.
Strevler is much more raw but has ridiculous speed and confidence.
Starter will be Ross but Strevler will get some snaps imo
Ross reminds me a bit of Willy as he hangs onto the ball too long and is reluctant to throw it out of bounds. I do not think he sees the field as well
as Strevler. BigBlue...ross will protect the ball better? based on what? he fumbled first offensive play of the game!

I was there yesterday...cold in those stands. Most of the day was teaching so everything was split up
in segments on the field, e.g. linemen one area, defence another and so on.
When I first got there our drafted kicker Felix Menard-Briere was on the field by himself. He was kicking
field goals from the 55 yard line. The first 3 or 4 fell at the 5 yard line, but the rest went through the
posts easily and was very accurate. Not quite sure about his punting though. He was on the
field all practice running the end zone by himself.
There are so many receivers in camp and so many Canadians for a change, pretty much focused
on them when they were actually doing something to watch, which was not too often...but saw
a lot of potential out there, much more than some previous seasons. Notables
Donteea Dye #77 very interesting...good hands small and quick and very athletic
Tylor Henry national did not look out of place
Rashaun Simonize national #13...hmmm...big and fast, can see why he had an NFL look. Right now? not yet sold
on his hands...lots of potential there for sure, but what good is a receiver if they are not reliable?
Johnny Augustine #35, National, fast and strong, appears to have great hands out of the backfield and would
be a load on 2nd and short. Was very impressed with him. Can't believe he wasn't drafted and then Edmonton
signed him last year. Maybe something we don't know?
Tyrone Pierre national #73, is big and strong looking and appears to have good hands and is fast enough caught virtually everything thrown his way
Brendon Thera-Plamondon national also did not look out of place
Corey Washington #6 Int...Looks very good and made some nice catches. Looks like we let the right Washington go
Myles White Int #14 is really quick and has excellent hands, defensive backs would have hands full with him, sort of like a dressler type
Drew Wolitarsky #82 national...looks much improved from last year, rooting for him.
Didn't pay to much attention to the Qb's, but Strevelor is big and athletic and looks to have a quick release and strong arm. Ross looked
good as well, will be interesting who plants themselves in the #2 spot.
Also didn't pay too much attention to the D, but did see some nice interceptions and looks like there is plenty of speed. Only glad that
Sam Hurl is gone, but if the defence runs the same way as last year, only improved skill levels from the defence will save the job
of Richie Hall.
Sorry I couldn't have done better but it was mostly a teaching practice

Clarifications
-
An earlier version of this story said that both Paul LaPolice and Richie Hall will return next season. The story has been amended to clarify that Paul LaPolice had signed a contract extension during the current season and Richie Hall also remains under contract for 2018, but Mike O'Shea didn't entirely rule out a change in the defensive co-ordinator position.

Actually lankford flat out admitted he ran some shitty routes. And when you have multiple rec. In the same area thats also bad route running.
When other rec. Drop a ball they can be let off ie Dressler/adams cause they actually produce. The rec.(the 3 i mentioned, which isnt all of them) Im talking about have all dropped passes that hit them in the numbers and gone on to do **** all. And the majority of the time its been Nichols throwing to them. This isnt a new problem.
And i dont care what you're telling me. If the receivers arent catching, or getting open the issue isnt ONLY the qb.
If you don't care what I am telling you...that simply means you think you are 100 percent correct, not willing to see other possibilities. No sense continuing because you are a 100 percenter!

If it's a dropped pass that means the player should have caught it but didnt. Passes that arent anywhere near the players aren't dropped. Its really not that hard to distinguish the two. "Give me break!!!"
And i dont know who you have been watching all year but washington denmark and lankford all have been guilty of running some questionable routes this year. Which is admittedly odd for denmark. But I've paid close attention to him the last few home games and something isnt right.
Ahh...I see you know exactly which route the receivers are running and whether it is correct or not! Point is you are blaming the receivers virtually all of them and I am telling you that it is on the QB as
we haven't had one performing even close to Nichols in the last couple of weeks. Sure a receiver has a dropped ball now and then, but that happens to virtually all receivers in all games. Much easier for them to do that than forget how to run a route.

dropped passes are dropped passes. Bad routes are bad routes. It doesn't matter who is delivering the ball.
Not true if the ball is nowhere near them...you're trying to tell me it is on the receivers? Give me a break! They suddenly forgot how to run routes and
started dropping passes?

If it takes more than two years to figure out which player is which, something is wrong.
Not when it only involves practice it doesn't...you are missing the point!

What baffles me is that whatever Davis showed in training camp and throughout the season suddenly evaporated in two part-game appearances. How could the Bomber brain-trust be so far off for such a long time and how could it change so abruptly?
Easy...there are practice player and game players...some are both...some are not

I suggest we resume this discussion after the Calgary game. One side of this discussion or the other ought to be vindicated. Or not. When considering either Taman or Barker for a talent bird-dog, would it not depend more on who did the actual scouting? I am not a Taman fan, but in both Winnipeg and Regina, he was probably micro-managed and pretty much told what to do and how to do it. How well he would do with a decent budget and oversight is a matter of speculation, but I am not happy with the results that Danny Mac and associated have produced.
Yes of course...11 wins and a wounded quarterback for 12 is not nearly enough!!!

O'Shea was saying the same thing. Said there's no way it was the last kick (why we lost). It was lots of little things that added up like dropped balls and missed tackles. The question is, why? I wonder if the previous game against BC, a chippy, hard hitting game that saw us lose two of our best players, didn't cause us to lose a bit of focus for this Toronto game. I think it did and when we lost Bond early in the Argo game it made it even harder for the team to focus on the task at hand.
Trestman has the Argos playing well at the right time of the year but the teams we need to be most concerned with are the Western clubs: Calgary, Edmonton and Sask. Calgary and Wpg seem to be in a bit of a funk. I sure hope we can snap out of it and find a way to build some momentun going into the playoffs. Wins against BC and Calgary would do wonders to build our confidence for the post season.
Yup...except he said that no ones really sees those things except for them. What a stupid thing to say...does he think everyone is so blind they can't see dropped passes and a defence which stinks?

Same thing.
Surprisingly, there are no differences between a complete tear and a rupture. However, a tear can be partial or complete. An Achilles tendon injury, for instance, can be a tear or a rupture. This long tendon stretches from the heel bones up to the calf muscles.

Not necessarily true..."that is how you win games"...if the defence holds the other team to 0 points or 16 points and we score 17...we win don't we?
