What a crock of ****. Nichols would be crucified for that 2nd half

No ****. It's almost like what ails the offense goes beyond the QB.

Doubt it tho. Why would he be? They punted what? Twice all game? I dunno. Is the D collapsing really on the O who put up 31 points

The QB didn't lose The game. The D did.

I can feel a very bad run on the horizon and we'll end up as other years have...on the outside looking in...Disgraceful

Saw this vs SASK on Labour Day.. D needs a big stop.. Gets owned. We lose. 

Streveler having huge success passing in the first half - Montreal totally off balance...  Harris dominating...

Lapo (to himself) - You know what they won't expect... Mike Miller.  YES!!  Then we'll grind out the rest of the game... up the gut.  Old school.

High fives himself...

Adams was throwing up rainbows all nite.....but almost 500 yds passing...  What a joke.

So many raging thoughts, I'll just leave it short and sweet: LMAO, typical, not surprised. Seen this movie many times over with this joke of a coaching staff and fat ass CEO who let's it happen year after year and makes me thankful I can watch true professional football tomorrow afternoon.

We lucked out with that under throw into the arms of Hecht... Montreal should have won by 8 not 1

Brutal display from the db's ...What the hell were they doing allowing receivers to walk around them at will....This club did not look like a Cup contender with that defensive backfield.....Calgary will kill us with that type of defense and the 29 yr. drought will continue with that type of collapse

I was thinking as they were driving at will.... "what the hell is Mitchell going to do to us?".  This could be a tough stretch if that's what we have to look forward to against QBs that can pass.   Dane Evans will pick us apart too for *&^% sakes.

This is the most embarrassing game in the mos era. I feel sick.

Hecht had that pick....but was useless the rest of the time. 

Leave it to our O & D coordinators to go from the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat in one half.

Lost to T.O. ...and now this abysmal showing.....what's next ....

Practice makes perfect.

Dont u have to fire Hall? That's 2 collapses with the game on the line in the last 3 weeks or 4.

O'Shea won't fire Hall. He'll want him back.

Yup the last drive paper bag D collapses have got to stop. Labour day, very nearly the Calgary game, Toronto game, now this. No finish in this team. No answers when the game is on the line. Hugely concerning. I never had much faith in this team being able to mount big comebacks when they are down in the 4th and now I have zero faith that they can stop other teams from mounting big comebacks late in games. The play calling was s*** but the players that make the big bucks need to make plays. No one did when it mattered.

 

give Khari some credit. He's clearly a good coach.

Baseball rules should apply: 3 strikes and he's out. Seriously, Hall is terrible.

"This has nothing to do with QBs and everything to do with LaPolice.  We don't make good adjustments at halftime.  We don't try to win the games, we hold on to try and not lose the games.

These are our 2nd half points for the last 5 games against TOR-OTT-HAM-TOR-CGY.  We aren't scoring in the 2nd half.

Some is due to fumbles, being stopped at the goal line, etc.  But as a team, we need to have the strong close out mentality and the offence needs to put some of these games in the bag."

That Bighill spy/blitz scheme has been useless for two seasons now and worse this year since he’s compromised.  Hall needs to do better and if Bighill can’t play get him off the field.

Agreed- I fear we will back into the playoffs, come in 3rd and get bounced by the riders in mosaic. Season ends... slowly walk off the bandwagon- each year it gets harder and harder to climb back on.
