We’re incapable of playing with a lead, the conservative nature of our coordinators is extremely harmful, particularly Lapo.

You gotta run a quick slant in or something like that when you know they’re blitzing.

Six yards is stuffed in the mind of Rod Black.

Wilson missed a gift on that play.

Apologize to Hecht.

Huge play by our D. Adams forced the ball on a play that wasn’t there at all.

Not to mention that Medlocks kicking is off today.

I’m usually all for being aggressive and kicking the FG but I would prefer to pin Montreal deep at this point.

Not at all, we had the ball with an opportunity to close out the game and did nothing with it (just like the previous week against Toronto). We got lucky that Calgary’s receivers all have stone hands and cost them what would’ve been a game winning field goal. Anyways, the point I was making is that all teams have “lucky wins” and you are what your record says you are. Calgary is still a damn good team that I don’t want to see in the West Final.

We had no business beating Calgary actually. We got extremely lucky.

Because Bailey and Peterman are better than Whitehead and Demski?

Should we even consider this a positive?

I become a bigger and bigger Streveler fan every time I watch him play. He’s an absolute bull rushing the football and can get first downs on plays that that QBs are taking a 10 yard sack.

Depends, as of today Ottawa looks like the only team that will really be searching for a starter (even MBT is playing well at the moment). I’m not sure he’s a pending FA, but if he is, Nick Arbuckle will be everyone’s first option. Will there be two teams looking for a starting QB that would view Strev/Nichols as an undisputed upgrade? I have my doubts.

I agree completely. I loved seeing that and hyped me up even more for Saturday (if that’s even possible).

It’s amazing that Edmonton didn’t win a GC with Reilly throwing to Zylstra and Walker.

Our biggest mistake was refusing to let Sask interview Lapo. We could’ve killed two birds with one stone, replace our incompetent OC and saddle our rivals with a mediocre HC.

Matt Nichols would’ve gotten absolutely killed out there with Augustine unable to pick up a blitz and Lapo’s playcalling. We don’t even get into position to win that game if Nichols is starting over Strev.

Strev isn’t too blame for Lapo calling for Strev to stand back in the pocket and beat the blitz or for running the ever predictable draw play on second & 24.

Yup another huge play we missed out on. A terrible first down play to counter the blitz and then the awful draw play on second and a ton. I need some strong alcohol to forget about Lapo’s playcalling..

This is why I’m so against giving up two points for 20 yards of field position. You give up the safety and they still have a chance to score, not to mention the amount of illegal block penalties that happen on punt returns in the CFL that can help drive them back further. We give up a safety, let them score a TD and that’s the difference in the game.

Well what else does one expect on Labour Day?

It’s disgusting how a hold can let Fajardo run for a first down but we’ve been getting all the tick tack penalties all game.

The Riders scored a TD off of our safety. We gave them a 9 point touchdown drive.

I love that Strev can do things on the field that Nichols just can't do. Watching him shake off would be tacklers is a thing of beauty. I'm never comfortable in a football game where you can lose on a FG. Those two points we gave up in the first half loom large.
