Montreal wouldn't scare the Churchill Bulldogs. 

Yeah Montreal doesn't look good, but Manziel is NOT the problem. He was 5 for 8, but those 3 were catchable. He has almost no offensive line protection.

He must feel he's back in Cleveland again. 

Well, we're up by 14 which isn't bad and at least Nichols is protecting the ball pretty well.  I would like to see him get rid of it quicker in certain plays, but I can't really complain atm.

Manziel ... Well the kid did show athleticism in some cases, but he is still trying to do too much and taking some dumb sacks out there.

Manziel really really sucks. The numbers don’t show the horrible pocket presence and braindead sacks. Bailed out of a stripsack TD by a penalty. The guy is trash.

I'd trade Nichols for Manziel.

(And no, I haven't been drinking).

I mean I’d trade Nichols for literally any player in the CFL just so O’Shea would be forced to stop playing him.

Tom Brady would suck behind that Oline.

You can’t keep changing QBs and expect the OL to know wtf is going on

And yet our offense only has one more first down.

In case anyone was wondering, the Als have one passing TD since week 4 and none since week 10. 

Harris out for the game.

Pray to God the offense can protect the ball.

The Als O-Line has been a problem but Manziel holds onto the ball WAY too long. It shouldn’t be a shock to him when pressure comes. 

Harris sure has taken a beating this year.

What happened to Harris?

 

It’s a bad idea to give this type of workload to a back who is over 30 but that’s what happens when you have no passing attack.

Lot of hard miles early in the year.

Als have 1 play that kinda works

Guys like George Reed, Blake Marshall & Jim  Evenson back in the day would have 25-35 carries in a game & be in their 30"s. They had no problem being every down players at their old age never being injured. Some guys just can't take the punishment.

Greasy headshot by Knapton on LaFrance when he was already on the way down with Ackie.

Garbage O series -  ugh

We might need some punt singles for offense.
