aka the fire hall edition. Not easy to pick guys in a mess like this.

1 Harris. We quit running for a long time after the big draw play was called back. But he ran hard as always. 14/66 + 3/17

2 Streveler, padded a bit late in the game but the hurry up made a big difference. 17/29 146 5 for 55 and a td. He didnt turn it over, and he ran the offense. Its too bad our play call was soo lack luster this week.

3 Medlock missed his first fg attempt in what was really a long punt attempt (59 yards) 1/2 7 punts for 43.7 yards 4 kick offs with an average of 69.5 yards. we did a job containing the return. 

hh Couture with his first ever catch. 

Too hot for a defense to be on the field so often for so long.

WPG. Love Streveler. Effective attack when given time.  Secondary appears to be worrisome.

HAM. Was a firm Masoli skeptic. Jones and Glanville did not help matters. Now they are making me look like a crotchety, old man stuck in his ways.

Can't use the heat as an excuse for the play of the defence. TiCat offence was on the field just as long, and they didn't look tired/

Streveler 

Dressler 

Harris 

HH to Sayles for his pick. 

If missing the playoffs is the only way Hall doesn't come back then, it's a bitter pill but still medication. Sigh.

Nowhere near on the field as often or as long.

Nice win Z.

Was the wind really that big a factor, couldn't tell on TV, but taking it in the 2nd & 3rd sure looked like the right move.

The Bombers will never win a championship recycling garbage like Hall and Lapo.

Ummmm...if the TiCat offence wasn't on the field when the Bomber defence was, where were they?

They were on the field so long cuz they couldnt make a stop.

Wind was noticeable but not a real factor imo

because hall has us playing 10 yards off the wrs and the cats threw the same 8 yard out over and over and over. 

You can fool guys early. But once they know what you do you have to change it up. our bend but dont break D wasnt working in its own right early in its inception. Now its just shot. It also doesnt help that the cats play a lot of max cover and we thought some how the way to beat max cover was to send pressure, but less pass rushers then they have blockers. All we did is clear the field for ti cat wrs to make plays.

Same thing happened to Stubler....  the bend but don't break defense just doesn't work at all these days....

when it comes to defense, passive football is bad football.

agree

I shudder to think how loud the jeering will be in Saskatchewan should the Riders win  tonight, which is a distinct possibility.

it isnt often a pro team gets blown out in back to back games. Just like its hard to put up big out puts back to back. I think ssk beats mtl, but by a far less then comfy amount.

Ham felt like it was gonna be a hard game to win. Next week we have bc, which feels like a game we should bounce back and win. And the riders have the cats. Which feels like a game the riders will get whupped in.

For their next 5 games the criders play Ham twice, Calgary twice and Edmonton. I'm looking forward to this. 😈

Against max protection, if
