Quit blaming the refs. Loser’s excuse. They had nothing to do with us losing today. 

You might note I mentioned the way we played ? But whatever.

We were not going to win every game this year, we will feel better next week after we snot kick the Stamps

More than a few people will have to pick it up, for that to happen..

Bad time to miss a tackle...

Richie Hall is sending Briggs/Gauthier every play - no confidence in them to drop back... we need Wilson back

He does that to limit double teaming on the ends. It's better them than Bighill 

I hope this is a wakeup call. We were pretty cocky after two games. Our run defence looked pretty suspect and Oliveira did not inspire confidence. I'm definitely one to overreact, but we need to make some key changes on special teams (Kicker/Returner) if we're going to go anywhere this year.

Garbage game all around. **** the Argos. **** the refs.

Mentioned after the first game, that the Argos were pretty physical.   They added some pretty good execution on both sides of the ball, today.  Wake up call indeed....

Ouch. Everything is exposed. Poor passing accuracy, too many dropped passes, no running game, questionable play-calling, no defence vs the run, too many missed tackles, poor field position, lousy place-kicking, poor punting and no return game. What have I missed?

 

At least this loss was vs a team from the East. Full marks to Argos.

LB play against the run was pitiful again this week and we need a couple of new db's, not even going to mention a new returner but since I did we need one of those too.

You all want to cut nelson, 
 

not saying hes great, but on my tv, there is zero blocking for kick returns. he catches the ball, and is surroundd.

also, fire everybody.

At least the drinking was on par....

Toronto took away the run and pressured Collaros. If it wasn't for the fumble for the TD and the 50 yarder to Adams, we'd have been embarrassed. Two big plays doesn't make a win-able game.

FTR: It was PI and it was a rough play. Don't blame the refs.

I mean if it were just poor returns, that would be one thing, but he's had a number of fumbles (albeit recovered) in a small number of games so far

And lose by 7 in a game where the D is on the field 40 minutes. 

Bombers were bad real bad.. worst o performance since the Goltz Era... but for as bad as it was... we lost by 7. 

Get Darby Demski Harris back and find a kick returner 

I think we’ve all undervalued Steven Richardson. Two games without him and our league best run D has more holes than Swiss cheese. Our injuries at linebacker aren’t helping either.

Our return game looks pathetic. I agree it's not all Nelson but it's not not Nelson too

Harris sends his linebackers when he's not confident that they can handle his schemes... he does not send Wilson every single play

Its back to the Labbe days - I really like Briggs but he just doesn't have that extra step so it changes Harris' gameplan and opens up the second level

Perspective. 

It’s one game. We were never as good on offence or special teams as the 2-0 start suggested, and not as bad on defence as the 30 points today suggest. One game does not “expose everything” on this team.

The DL is fine. Sayles and Thomas are both very good. 

that field goal guy will cost some games. that is something to be concerned anout. look at paredes, whyte.

and of course the games medlock won.

When its said and done, Toronto is a top 3 team in the CFL this year... maybe #1 - I think we just under-estimated them and couldn't recover.

I will reserve judgement until Harris, Wilson and Demski are back.

We could use one more vet DB though... ahem Winston Rose...
