Find it hard to be critical of the DB’s with the amount we blitz Bighill/JSK/Leggett/Loffler on passing downs and play cover zero. Any decent pro QB is going to rip that apart and there’s not much the DB’s can do. Middle of the field is wide open because 6-7 are rushing most passing downs. Can’t expect 5-6 guys to defend the whole field. You’re gambling the blitz gets there, but most often it doesn’t affect the throw.
So the question is why could Ottawa blitz so effectively and we could not?

Some bad coverage for sure but Ellingson is a premiere WR. Total team loss, imo. Soft D and too many 2 and outstanding from the O. Nichols wasn't great but not terrible either. Ottawa just kicked our ass today.
Disagree. Nichols was terrible, particularly when blitzed and this is the third or fourth game this year when he has looked bad.

I know this is a bit of a ridiculous comment from a very frustrated fan (me), but I'm ready to start Streveler and let him grow and improve. We have to get better.
Just really frustrated. And flabbergasted that O Shea would leave Nichols in the game.
Agreed. For whatever reason, the team and Nichols have regressed.

Aaand, there's the icing on the cake.
-
A fitting end to the game with our vaunted O-line caving in almost every play
-
O'Shea's goddam pigheadedness probably cost us the game.

This is a playoff team. But nothing more.
If .500 will do it, yes

Lankford was better than I expected but no one player change is gonna save this team

There needs to be some big changes here.

Nicholls doesn't play defense......
And apparently doesn't play offence very well, either

I am looking forward to the game, and think its going to be close. High scoring, I think.

Eskimos may cancel tomorrow's game due to heavy smoke. The team said it will have an announcement noon tomorrow.
Albertans getting a "head" start on the legalization of pot?

So that explains why Reilly is so bad at longer throws because of his wonky knee? Don't think so.
You are assuming they both have the same sort and degree of wonkiness.

Plop was a front runner for head coach if O'Day would have got the GM job. If Jones gets canned and Jeremy O'day takes over, that's exactly what he will do
I would not doubt this. I do not think that LaPolice has headcoaching out of his blood yet.

We interviewed O'Shea when we hired Chamblin. Do we win that cup in 2013 if O'shea gets that job. Jones looked like a world beater when he was hired, now he looks like a great DC who is over his head. MOS was likely one more loss away from getting fired but remains, was that a good move? Time will tell. Interesting how things work out sometimes. That's what makes this league and this game the one I love the most. This league means so much to the fans and this country. For any fan of whatever team that supports their team, cheers....
Hiring O'Shea was a bit of a gamble that hasn't quite paid off just yet ( I was rooting for Tom Higgins) but despite the lack of playoff wins, he is still pretty safe here.

Anybody recall how soft Lankford's hand are when a long bomb is thrown his way? How about slants thrown over the middle (2 situations where he can out run a defender)?
Anybody? Anybody at all? Thought so.

And Jones will have to walk on water to avoid the gallows after all the screwups, and if he is not fired, the Riders deserve their fate.

Well, early in WW1, the pilots dropped bombs by hand I believe. I've seen old film ( not video) of them doing just that. Damnedest thing I ever saw. They just threw them out of the plane. Later in the war the planes became more technologically sophisticated & carried them mounted to the fuselage & the pilots released them. So,TECHNICALLY, I guess you could call bi planes bombers. LOL. But I get your point. Imagine throwing bombs out of your plane as you flew?
Even funnier was that RAF pilots had castor oil in their planes' crankcases in WW1 which was inevitably sprayed back into the pilots' faces causing no end of gastronomic distress, often while the plane was still in flight. And that's where Castrol oil got its name, but it no longer has castor oil in it.

He will. When his talent has faded due to age. And then the regret will settle in.
I am certain he will find someone other than himself to blame- his dad, his college coaches, the NFL, NFL coaches and GMs etc

I feel bad for a good guy and great receiver whom time has caught up to. He is a giant step closer to retiring.

EXACTLY....You can send anyone deep...but if there is no real threat to make consistant plays...whats the point...all you do is draw away the db, and really....every play a db is responsible for something...I just think it's a waste and we could do a lot more with a real threat out there....and don't even go there about his return skills...we have been fine without them, and truthfully he isn't that good at kick-offs..if there isn't a clear seem or hole...he doesn't have the ability to make something out of nothing...and I question his ball security..any time he is in traffic i cringe.
This was the opportunity to get someone else in the line-up who we don't really know what they have to offer and if they are in the plans for the future...and we are missing the opportunity...we know what Lankford brings...and I would be hard pressed to see a line-up in the league where he would crack the active 46..and that says a lot right there
But he would be at least the #2 receiver in Regina. Or nose tackle.

Is Matt Nichols still your qb? Don't hold your breath
At least we have a quarterback who stands a chance of winning.

Given how poorly the team played tonight, I am losing confidence that we can even split with the Riders in the home and home. Jones will be desperate to keep his playoff hopes and job security alive and we've been getting worse.
