Goalie

D got 2 turnovers directly due to stripping the ball, believe teague sherman had both of them, there does seem to be an emphasis on trying to strip the ball from the player and at times it does seem to work, The D has been pretty damn good so far this year, yeah they had a rough game last night but really, the argument could be made that it was indeed their first bad game of the season, ray shredded them and the run game shredded them, Prior to this game, the D gave up something like what? 2 touchdowns in like 3 or 4 games? Can't really complain too much, Not giving the D an excuse but the Offence had a fair amount of 2 and outs, the last minute of the first there, the delay of game/ time count penalty, did the clock not seem to go extra fast there? but regardless, that right there and the Lirim shank was the begining of the downfall last night. I can't blame the D really when they aren't the problem.. The OL is a problem, the lack of run game is a problem, the brain camps are a problem.. the short week might have been a problem too.

1. Stoudermire was a beast 2. Romby had some issues last night and I don't see what he really brings as a veteran presence, at least it seems that this time around, he cares though 3. Howard sucked, January sucked too. January seems to get a free pass at times on this forum but he has not been good the last 2 games either, I'm starting to think our worst Olinemen are our Imports 4. Why was Willy still playing near the end? 5. Our Run D needs help, we are munchkins out there 6. Teague Sherman has really stepped up his game this year 7. Would like to see Bolton or McDuffie instead of Grigsby and Cotton... 8. Really need to figure out how to stop the run and to get the run game going more 9. Willy is gonna get hurt one of these games 10. With all that being said, on a short week, it was pretty obvious or D was gassed by the 4th quarter, Even Randle Island got invaded last night a few times, Bruce Johnson continues to impress though One last thought, The PI call, man oh man... like others have said, the floodgates are going to open now.. Glenn Johnson on pre-game said to have patience and give them some time and went on to explain some of the problems they have with some of the penalties, said there are 19 different things to tell a guy coming in to the league, needs to be simplified.. Have to agree with him there.

The coaches have actually dressed Cotton the last few games, but rarely used him, tells me the coaches do realize there is a problem with the running back, hell, walters even mentioned in an article they talked about the running back issue. I just think it's easy to sit on this forum and say Grigsby is the problem, no and's if's or but's but... since we really have no idea what play is supposed to be called and who is supposed to be where and all that stuff, i trust the coaches. If grigsby was as big of an issue as people think, He wouldn't play. It's that simple, they got cotton, they got bolton, they even got mcduffie now or whatever his name is, They have obviously made not of Grigsby and the issues he's having, i think it's pretty naive to think the coaches don't realize this and i think it's even more naive to just blame one guy for the running problem, Grigsby takes the heat on this forum quite a lot but... it's not just grigsby back there, if it was, he would be benched.

Yeah those 3 points given up on demonds fumble really killed us and not the fumble by Willy that lead directly to a touchdown or the pick 6 he threw.

TSN showed this last week prior to the game, this isn't anything new, it was on the pre-game show last week. Grigsby is a great athlete, there is no denying that. Right now, he's having a hard time as a running back but... I'm gonna cut him some slack and say I think most running backs would be struggling behind our oline right now, Not very good at run blocking it seems.. Other guys have holes to run through, Grigsby, the last 2 games in particular, hasn't.

Shocking but with that gongshow in Montreal this year, not really. Marsh isn't very good, prone to interceptions, it's either a big play or interception with Marsh at the helm and maybe they don't want to rush Marsh, Yeah he looked good at times but he looked awful at other times, I dunno, i thought smith looked ok last week, in the first half, he did have lots of drops by his receivers but some were cuz of high throws... Brink? Seriously? Good luck with that, that's all i will say.

RIP to a man who put smiles on a ton of peoples faces, It's sad that he apparently couldn't make himself smile. Very unfortunate sad news. It seems that most of the worlds funniest people have some severe demons they have to deal with everyday. Nanoo Nanoo.

Winnipeg. Hamilton. Edmonton. Sask. Toronto.

Some will probably like it, most won't. Whatever, let's just hope we only see it once or twice and then it's burned... could always use some bomber cleaning rags around the house so maybe at the year end clearance sale, i'll pick a few up for 2 bucks.

Any team with Ricky Ray has a chance, always do no matter how "banged up" they are. Ray has and always will scare me, but that Toronto D certainly doesn't.

Unless the Jets trade Wheeler Little Ladd and Kane, there is no way they get a top 2 pick... Not a chance. I'd suspect we pick around 7-9 once again. I still feel with a league average goalie, this team can make the play-off. Tanking for McDavid just seems very very very unlikely, however with that being said, If we struggle badly and are in contention for a high pick (i personally like the 2 americans ,eichel and hanifin) but.. if we are in contention for a top 3 pick, I think the team might sell some players at the deadline to ensure they get it, i doubt they can be as bad as Buffalo or other teams like that though. Unless the NHL is gonna throw us a bone like they did to Pittsburgh with Crosby and give us the number 1 pick It's possible i suppose but how possible? probably 1 in 1 million, yes i'm saying theres a chance.

I watched the piece on Grigsby, was a little confusing but i guess it's pretty hard to argue against him being one of the best athletes in the CFL, they guy last year was playing baseball for the twins organization, this year he's playing football.. Can say what you want about the guy but... to be able to play 2 different sports like he has done tells you he is a damned good athlete. 4.34 40 time too, The guy is a damn good athlete, is he the best? That's hard to say actually.. but if that piece did anything, it showed that he is a damn good athlete... Not sure about the best but probably right up there with the best in the league.

nice throw by smith to carter, big gainer there.. another dumb penalty by the esks at the end there.

Als should probably cut Johnson ASAP, after his agents comments that he's trying to get back to the NFL.. I dunno, i'd move on, obviously he's not fully committed to the ALS.

Interception on a bad throw, the als should get 3 here.

Duck Dynasty is a bunch of scripted crap. Look at how those people really live. The beards the hair the accents are all done for effect and don't portray how these people really live. Sorry, I don't need some 3rd rate 'reality' show philosophy to tell me what's important in life. The clean-shaven family photo, courtesy of Life & Style, shows Willie, Alan, mom Kay, Jase and Jep Robertson pre-Duck Dynasty.. Yeah like 20 years ago it appears.

lol dumb play by Watkins there, had whyte stuffed there.

The ALs may be the worst team in the league right now... I don't see it changing any time soon either.

Problem is the TSN announcers though aren't the be all and end all and i sometimes get the feeling, the replay people are basing what they see on what the TSN guys are saying, the TSN guys have been wrong in the past, quite often, Not that i don't believe what Suitor said, i would just like to know what the rule is from an official with the league, not a guy who calls the games and seems to think he is the be all and end all when it comes to replay reviews.

Looking to far in advance here, starting to sound like some of our media asking o'shea questions about games down the road.. One week at a time Floyd, One week at a time. This Tuesday, It's Toronto. That's the game we all should be talking about, not a game 3 4 weeks away still.

had a pretty good view of it from home on the replays and if that's the case, they got the call wrong then.. Willys foot was on the line, don't think it crossed until he released the ball though.

Agreed. Based on what I've seen allowed in other games that completed pass should have been allowed. Play was reviewed and linesman's call was confirmed. Can't complain that he did his job. What's the rule actually, does anybody actually know the rule? Cuz if it's you can't have your legs over the line of scrimmage, then the play should have stood, If it's you can't release the ball from your hands over the line of scrimmage then they got it right. The other thing is.. not making excuses but floyd and gbill are correct in saying that play has been allowed several times in the past, even this year for that matter. Gotta actually know what the real definition of that rule is.. If legs can't be over the line, it should have stood, if the ball can't be, then they got it right probably.. however, it then becomes a silly rule cuz when you throw the ball, your hand will always be past your legs unless you are some freak or leaning forward quite a bit, almost in a criss angel walking down the side of a building way...

“Our fans are absolutely going to love these innovative looks,” said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. “We respect tradition and our teams are very proud of our current home and away uniforms. But the CFL Signature Uniforms are intended to be bold and eye catching and push the envelope. And Reebok has worked hard with our franchises to deliver something really exciting.” Our non hardcore fans will buy these jerseys like they are going out of business said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. We respect the hardcore fans and their love for our tradition and are very proud to have them BUT.. these new jerseys will be ugly as sin.

Bang on. Nobody has any idea what the other options were on the play, and Marcel doesn't tell Willy where to throw the ball. He reads pre snap, he reads the defence after the snap, goes through his progressions and makes a decision. Unfortunately it was the wrong decision. End of story. And aren't mistakes expected by a rookie starting qb? Willy will learn from his mistake and probably not do it again. He made a mistake, it is what it is.

I'm surprised we didn't get more 13 men in the huddle penalties cuz from reading some of these posts on here, you'd think some of you were actually in the huddle. Blaming that pick 6 on a bad play call by the OC? i don't really get that, unless you were in the huddle, you don't know what the play call was, I highly doubt it was throw a 40 yard pass across the field, I'd be willing to bet just about anything that the OC didn't tell Willy to make that throw, That throw was on Willy.. Don't really get blaming the OC for a ball that the QB threw... never have, never will. Willy decided to make that pass, we were winning at the time, he could have thrown it away or just ate it and we would have punted and still been up by 1.. O'shea has said it many times already, unless you are in the huddle and you weren't, none of us on here were in the huddle, stop pretending some of you were.. we really have no clue what the actual play call was.
