I still can't get over how crazy awesome that 2019 Play-off Defense was. it must be one of the best in... well at least this millennium. 

2019 Play-off D > Swaggerville Play-off D. 

I mean... They took it to another level in the Grey Cup. They Bullied the Ti-cats. Like Men vs Boys. 

 

Let's partake in a poll and then hash out our favourite moments of that Play off run..

 

Where to start?

-The dismantling of the perrenial Elite QB in the WSF? 

-The scores of goal line stances and redzone rejection in the WF?

-Beating the living **** out of the Ticats in the grey Cup? Perfectly encapsulated when Jefferson just tosses Speedy "Aww coach not after three plays in a row" Banks? Or in the dying minutes of the game, The Great Dane misses the hand off side and then proceeds to drop and turtle?

2011 was my first year as a season ticket holder so it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

That said... I much prefer the blue collar, grind it out, shut-up-and-play style of D we fielded for the 2019 playoffs. It was ruthless and majestic at the same time.

What I find interesting between the two teams is the difference down the stretch... 2011 got off to a torrid start (7-1), but never could rekindle that magic. They won the East, so getting into the Grey Cup wasn't particularly difficult (first round bye, had to win 1 game against a 0.500 Tabbies team).

2019 also got off to a great start (5-0), faced even more adversity (lost our starting QB) but pulled it together down the stretch instead of fading away. The 2019 squad certainly took the road less traveled... and did so in glorious underdog fashion.

To be fair - 2011 Grey Cup could have easily gone our way if Willis doesn't drop the pick 6.  Down 24-9 (eventually 31-9 after THAT drive) instead of only 24-16...

Yup, and BC's O-line has holding/tackling our D-line all day with, I think, 1 holding penalty being called against them. It was disgusting.

Yeah, when Mike Jones defended that pass to Mike Jones- Mike Jones makes the catch, and takes a step while almost securing the football, Mike Jones bats it out of Mike Jones' hands- the replay on that Mike jones on Mike Jones play was incredible.

 

MIke Jones had himself one hell of a game.

Still gives me a half-chub thinking about that sweet sweet play.

 

I could watch that on loop for 100 years

Anyone else think that's awfully close to a catch and fumble? Did anyone pick up the ball after? Cant remember.

No catch..have to survive contact..which he clearly doesn't 

I understand the rule, but its not contact with the ground that dislodges the ball. It looks to me like he catches the ball, has control, takes three steps, and then the ball comes out due to the defender before he is down. Either way we still steam-rolled them but would have been interesting if they had scored there. I didn't think it was that close until seeing the replay up close.
