There were a hell of a lot of us expecting just this to happen.... because he showed this last season at times.
But come on... you weren't expecting 6TDs to 12INTS. Nobody was.

He may have been told to not give up a point
Ya if the coaches wanted him to give up the point then they would have told him too. I saw on Twitter Lucky said he would have conceded the point of the coaches directed him to.

His brain knows what to do but he doesn't have the wheels or the extra gears anymore.
I think between him and coaches they view the missed FG's as an opportunity for a big play but he just doesn't have that speed to explode off that first cut that you need to beat the angle even on the heavier cover team.
No one would have questioned the decision to take it out if he made a big play. The O was going no where so you gotta take chances to swing a big play when you can.
Lucky wasn't fielding punts in the air as much last game which to me is when the bigger concern than not breaking the big one. Gotta get those in the air and try and draw no yards.

The battle for several drives was because the offense couldn't get a first down. I doubt the coaches said "don't give up the point" but they didn't say "give up the point".

Kolo seems to need the support of Randolph at guard to play at an acceptable level. I hope if Bryant can't go that we start Vanterpool at LT and Randolph back to guard. I wonder if we end up brining in a Canadian offensive lineman this week who can get ready to backup and be on the double TE formation? Or do we convert someone like Schmekel, Davis, or Sampson??
That makes sense to me. Hopefully Bryant is just fully recovered and good to go.
If we need someone else to come in an be another TE, my vote is Devin Adams. Guy is a beast. Doesn't need to be a Cdn since they take out an American receiver usually when they run that set.

Just watched the game last night. Offense was rolling pretty good until all the injuries. Losing the ability to run the extra protection sets really slowed the O down.
How many games have we had this year with multiple injuries at one position in a game? I can think of a few with receivers, DBs, D-Line, O-Line.
In addition to the Randolph understandably having a tough game a LT, Kolo was getting bowled into Zach over and over again.

That is scary. Acklin spine bent a lot and he’s not moving

As an aside, I want to shout out Clercius. I was disappointed to lose BOLO in the offseason but Clercius has been an improvement in that spot. Catching 80% of his targets and nearly at BOLO's season high in yardage. Granted he's getting more opportunities with the receiving corps being decimated but Clercius is making the most of them. I think he's got a future as a tough yards guy, converting second downs
For sure. The play where he just posts up in the middle at 7 or 8 yards is pretty deadly. He's a big guy for a DB or LB to get around to make a play to the ball.

The biggest challenge of this game is not playing down to the cats. They tend to play us tough, and we’ve had a history of playing down to teams rather than burying them. Even last week we dominated bc and should’ve won by 3+ tds. A winning streak going into ldc/bjb would be huge, turning the red zone offence around would be too.
I figure the O is due to have a game where it all comes together soon. They were close in BC, maybe this is the week.

Not coach Lapo but I was watching the BC game on youtube because I missed it in Sunday and noticed that the opener from 2003 full game was on there.
Worth a watch if you want to relive the early 2000s. That was the year they added Mo Kelly and Terry Ray on D.
Also saw that the 2003 play off game against Sask was on there. Maybe skip that one.

I'd say this our best ;lineup of the yr to date
Really excited to see what and how we utilize this dline....It's probably our best front since 2019.......I hope they go to town and make it impossible to not roster them again
Hope we see more Griffen too in varying sets...dudes been nothing but excellent all yr....total sleeper signing this off-season
Yes he's been great coming in as the extra DB. Flying largely under the radar too.

So should be Jones at MLB, Ayers at Wil but we likely see Gauthier at MLB because reasons.
Probably. Would love see what Ayers can do on D. He's been dynamite on teams.

No mention of Brady or Demski on the injury report so that's positive.

To me, the definition of a True Canadian in the CFL is someone born in Canada and only played 3 Down football their entire life.
I'm not saying I don't like other types of quasi Canadians. Lord knows I'm a huge Woogie fan. But he's not a real Canadian... And that's fine.
I believe people hyping up Rourke as this "OMG A CANADIAN PLAYING QB IN THE CFL?!?!" are doing a great disservice to people like Tre Ford, who only ever played up north. Rourke isn't such a unicorn... Based on his training, he's no different from any other rando American QB that comes up here...
I get it you don't like Rourke because he's been anointed by the media but this is crazy.
By your standards Brady isn't a true Canadian. Doug Brown isn't. Enough with the true Canadian bullshit.

Did Ayers get on the field for some defensive reps? I’m pretty sure I saw him out there in the 2nd half and I was going to rewind to confirm, but forgot…. I probably got sidetracked yelling at Suitor.
Haven't been able to watch the game yet but that was my question too. Did Ayers get in at all when Biggie went out?

He was a starter in Calgary this year. Doesn't really matter though. He's shown nothing. And I've heard no reason from any reports or anything to suggest that he should be anywhere near starting. Even if you're a backup you should have some value (outside of a QB which holds a designated roster spot). If you think he should be taking starters reps in the offense to get Adams on, that is certainly your right to that opinion. I just don't think our offense would function well with him in.
Nobody had said he should start. We’re talking roster spots only. if you bring Murphy on as the backup receiver, then you can take Johnson off the roster and start Lucky and Lawler. Keep Adams on and take one of the CDN d-linemen off

Why do I get the feeling that Johnson is going to be targeted in a meaningful way this game?
No one will suspect it when Johnson goes for 200 yards!

Considering the shot in the arm lucky provided to the offense they'd be stupid not to use him.
I'd be surprised if he doesn't get in on offense.

I don't disagree about Adams but it doesn't mean using Murphy doesn't have its implications. Are you wanting to start Murphy? Because as much flak as Johnson gets around here, it seems like they have plays being run just for him. Doubt they would do that with Murphy and he would be the "forgotten man"
Start Lucky and Murphy backs up. Lucky can return kicks and play receiver I'd bet.

He's had 3 games for us and not a single stat to show for it at a position that is all about stats. Given he's not a strong body I can't see him making much of an impact in blocking either. I just don't have a high opinion of Murphy based on what I've seen or heard so far; TC, limited opportunity or hearsay. I don't think he adds much as a receiver or ST player. But Id be happy to be wrong.
The point would be for him to come on as a back up so that an American like Adams can play and contribute.
Johnson has show virtually nothing at receiver.

worth bearing in mind that Rourke washed out of the NFL in less time and with much less fanfare than Streveler did...
surely he meant to say top 20 qb in the CFL.
It's definitely a click bait take. He can't believe Rourke is better than 1/3 of the starting QBs in the NFL (not to mention all of the back ups, all CFL QBs, all college QBs).

Is ayers actually able to play? After he got the old El kabong last game I figured for sure he'd be out with a concussion for a while.
Injury report had him at full participant with a "head" injury. So I guess so. Looked bad though.
