Almost another beauty of a punt from Medlock

Medlock is this team now

Garbage O series -  ugh

Good thing we have that insurmountable 14 point lead against such an (im)potent Als offense.

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. 

I’m not educated on what happened in the 60s and 70s so I can’t speak to that but few elite backs can handle a full load at this point in their career. 

Lafrance is extremely lucky he had that one good game that gave him a career. 

D should pitch in with a score eventually

Marshall was the 90's. What a freaking load he was. He weighed 240 lbs & just ran straight ahead. 

Pipkin should have been given another chance

team is a bit confused with manziel 

That throw was only possible because of a huge hold on Thomas.

Manziel has an arm I’ll say that

I’ll give Manziel credit that he can get out of the pocket and give his receivers time to get open. Nichols does not have that skill. 

Bighill can really read a play

George Reed average 15 carries a game for his career and 1.44 catches per game.

Did you walk to school uphill both ways too?

Lot of hard miles early in the year.

We really should have 2 back offenses in the CFL.  Everyone runs a single back system & backs get hurt. It affects just about every team. 

Manziel is going tomorrow kill that team - too much attitude without any payoff...  let’s trade for pipkin -

Unfortunately, roster size isn’t conducive to that.

The guy with 1 TD and 8 INTs? I’ll pass, thanks. 

Going for it on your own ten yard line?????

Harris injury exposing Nichols

Another game with no Lapo adjustments and D adjustments killing our O.

Can't run the same 4 plays all night.

Osh throws flag to protect Nichols

The Eskimoes and other good teams get more creative as the game goes on. LaPo gets less.

Our run plays are real easy to read and Stubler is just throwing a run blitz at the play side tackle.  Bryant or Hardrick aren't going to block 3 guys.  No lead blocks, no ability to get off tackle = a loss every time.

Pathetic challenge - scary.

Almost need to use Streveler to have any offense without Harris.

No run to defend and Nichols can't pass well enough to handle that.
