Dickenson clueless and out of touch… haha at least he apologized publicly. Marino probably muzzled by the club as he would no doubt scream he’d do it again if he could - his repeated actions already match so this isn’t even a reach!

Honestly was relieved for him when he walked away from CFL coaching. Kept thinking I would read in the paper that he’d dropped dead from a rage-induced aneurysm.

Our secondary was in position on almost every play BC managed to make. Taylor made to look bad on a couple of surprisingly savvy plays BC’s Pearson and Rhymes. Other than that the D was fast, sharp and hugely effective. Credit the O for dominating the TOP and keeping our defenders fresh.

The broadcast was completely pro-BC but credit to Farhan for sucking it up post game, unlike halftime when the whole panel was talking as if BC was destined to come back and win big. For whatever reason I thought Suitor was the best he’s been in ages.

WHY ARE WE WATCHING F*cking SOCCER **edit ok better now

The Jeffs spent a lot of the game in the non-called and enduring embrace of TO’s oline I think Buck shelves a bunch of what they tried tonight. If he starts repeatedly saying “we’re on the cusp” then I trust they will terminate immediately

Ok someone needs to explain how Buck ended up with Gary Crowton’s 2013 playbook in the booth…

Ellingson!

Defense still championship calibre… offense is pretender-grade at the moment

These play calls are just brutal by Buck. Is the execution that bad that he’s left the training wheels bolted on and scribbling notes with kid gloves on?

I’m basically chanting “INTERCEPTION” every time mbt winds up to pass

Regardless of who starts (but this could help), it’s time for our d-line to serve up AH33 a piping hot serving of FIFO. I mean that respectfully, of course…

They should nickname him Dane “The Baker” Evans. Guy cooks up more turnovers than my neighbourhood pastry shop 🤦🏻‍♂️

Goes to show how deep you have to go to root out bad culture. When Jones was in Sask remember his defenders taking a knee to disrupt opposing hurry up offenses, and then laughing as they headed to the sidelines. So many of those same guys still on that team.

Picking Ellingson to grudgingly put down his cigarette as he makes a wide open TD grab 😃

I don’t think the Bombers look past TO… plenty of recent history showing they still to show up and play to FIFO standards to win. Whether or or not BC looks past Ottawa will be very interesting.

As I thought, Argos a collection of names and many careers nearing the end of the line. MBT over Arbuckle mad zero sense last year, even just comparing age and upside. These guys won’t scare to many other teams.

The franchise rebuild situation is similar for sure. Hugely skeptical regarding Chris Jones being the right guy to pull off a Trinity-grade result. GM, head coach and defensive coordinator? Talk about doing lots and none of it well. Players getting signed and cut by the boatload all season long, playing converted positions etc…. I can’t imagine stuff like that helps build a championship locker room culture. Bombers did the front office rebuild the right way. Miller to run the franchise, Walters to build the team, O’Shea to coach, and each vetted and selected in that order. All football men devoted to the CFL. Somehow the board in Edmonton decided that a smarter-than-thou mercenary could moneyball the team back to glory. Guess we will see, or not!

You also forgot defensive coordinator…. Since Chris Jones is all three for the Lk’s that makes him triple dumb

Houston had a really good game. Thought he was in good position most of the time that allowed him to play real fast to the ball, especially compared to his spot duty last year. Especially happy for him and his family, knowing they were in the stands for his first start of the season, which turned out to be a good one!

No it’s because he couldn’t figure out punting after Castillo got pencilled in at RT on the O-line, though I heard his kickoffs were not bad…

Schoen!

What is it with these teams that have such garbage culture on defense? Guys like Hunter, Levels, S.Lawrence, Dylan Wynn etc live and die by the running their mouths and dirty play. Obviously in pro ball winners play with an edge… and stuff goes down in the trenches… and then there are these types of anti-FIFO players. Always felt they reflect poorly on their coaches and the organizations that keep employing them. Money Hunter’s lack of discipline cost his team games when he was in Edmonton too… How is it that some players are incapable of letting their talent do the talking?

Forget Brodie Lawson… SF is on to something!!
