Even Suits is bashing the refs for phantom PI

That's completely off the play and refs shouldn't even be looking that way. Marginal holding call at best. Ridiculous. 

They just 100% went for the block on that one.
Kase looks good to me.  More comfortable catching punts than Smith for sure, about same level of burst.
I think Streveler is busted up bad.  This is a game where you'd use him quite a bit.

Refs have put 3 on the board for Sask with no holding call and took at least 3 off for us with whatever that was.

We are getting absolutely screwed 

Gotta call the holds on these scrambles.  Ridiculous on interior.

Wilson and Johnson are constantly not attacking the ball, weak hands.  Strong hands there it's a nice catch.

Terrible spot.  He's half a yard short.  Had to get the 37 and clearly doesn't on the cable cam.

Knee was down before the 35 on that scramble..spot at 36??

Man did they get a nice spot.  Should have been 3 and 3.
 

These rider unis are hideous even by their standards 

We got jobbed on that one

Should change it to potential turnover being reviewed automatically by booth.
Ridiculous have to burn challenge and timeout.

I didn’t go back and count but I thought they had global Lucky on when they could have used an American. He’s off for an American this week. 

Lapo looks at Pokey's big game
First, is it Pookey like Mookie Wilson?  Or is it Pokey like Pokey Reddick?
First play, the run blitz kill.  I was curious about this play because it looks like a bad play -- throwing a hitch screen without enough lead blocking.  but now I understand why it happened.
It's interesting when Lapo breaks down Zach's reads on any play because it seems like the play design and stampeder coverage resulted in Pokey being the best option on most of these plays, it wasn't that Zach set out to feed Wilson, it was just the way things developed.
Love seeing Lucky Whitehead and the rest of the bench calling for tempo on the final catch.

MCI to the 6 game unfortunately. 
 
Also kinda crazy that last week was BO’s fire time running for 100+ in consecutive weeks. 

For sure. He showed that deep ball tracking ability and was hitting everything at full speed. 

Honestly I could see Wilson being a good receiver in this league. His problems the first few games were totally mental. He just flat out couldn't make a play on the ball. If he is over that what's stopping him? No obviously if he goes back to looking clueless as to finishing the play then sure he's on the bust pile, but why be negative now? He's over the rookie jitters, sky's the limit. 

Makes sense. They need a back up receiver on the roster.  
 
Would still have liked to see Smith get a few reps on O.

Fine is not good enough for a SAM. Should be a difference maker there. 

And this has largely been the problem with our defence so far this season .. very few plays are being made .. there isn't someone back there who *is* a difference maker.
That said, it was nice to see us force the issue Friday night .. even if we gave up 460 yards of offense.
