He came through in the most pressure-packed kick of the season. He's gonna be alright.

Yeah. At least there's hope with the kid. Crappy not so much, he is what he already is.

If anything we were robbed on the TD call back. Could have been sitting pretty by the end if not for that. Despite that we made the plays we needed to win, CGY didn't. Hope that avoids a week of debate

I saw a clear touch to the helmet as he went down, looked obvious on the first replay. Why are people saying this? What am I missing?

I totally agree but there's also a lot of 'if's' in a game... that's two games now where I'm not sure we were the better team and we won - good for the long-run

Can't understand why O'Shea did not challenged that.

Thankfully we didn't need it, touch or no

I don't see that so much as luck as others here, we made the plays we needed to. Ugly yes, but I don't think it was that lucky.

I agree with this.  Lots of plays left out there, think more by our guys.  

Hamilton was awful, we played about 45 mins against the Argos here, 10 mins in Toronto and a half here.  Would like to see it all come together.  Even this game a couple plays made make it an easy win.

I feel that Collaros and Buck are out of sync in terms of design of the passing game.  Starting to see more downfield stuff in the 2nd half and that's what Collaros prefers.  I think we need more playaction on first down, more rollouts, more run and shoot type scheme to cut down the reads and get the ball out downfield.  If Collaros wants to sit in the pocket all night we are going to stall out.

When did Lawler actually have possession and when was the touch.  I see the touch but not sure it wasn't early.  I think it's inconclusive at best.

The game has confirmed what we know already- Bailey is inconsistent as all getout, McKnight, and Nelson can take a hike.

or the blatant interference on darvin?

Got a little lucky too on that last Calgary drop, when Jeffcoat's arm/hand hit Maier in the head/face. Seen that called many times.

Woli blanked on the stat sheet.

Bit of a strange game.  2nd chance FG winner on their OWN penalty.  Good for Legghio to kick the winner and have a 4 FG game.

Yeah in slow motion he actually wraps very carefully to avoid primary contact to the head but 50-50 the ref throws that flag anyway in real time.

We got ripped on the Lawyer TD. Play on the field was called a TD. I did not see definitive evidence that he got touched. 

Ongoing issue with TSN this year, they did not provide appropriate replays either. Just brushed it under the carpet.  

 

Legs won us the game. 

 

Our run D is starting to be a concern.

One drop.

Team needs Kyrie Wilson back desperately...  I worry that we have fallen in love with our Canadians again

Just don't understand playing Gauthier over Antigha or Hansen... upgrade Antigha he's not even a very good ST guy

Would really like to see Alexander at SAM - he has really deceptive speed for closing gaps/blitzing

Probably because it was already reviewed by the command centre and that was their conclusion. What would reviewing it again with the same people change?

His passport will carry him only so far. He also blew a block where Harris got stuffed.

Gauthier and Briggs have been fine.  We got gashed when we ran everyone up into the line and when Bighill forgot how to run when we stuck him over center.

We really miss Richardson i think. Sayles and Thomas arnt getting it done in the middle. Thomas looks cooked and Sayles has been invisible except for his one sack 3 games ago.

Gotta get rid of those drive ending drops,perfect passes from Zach.

Congrats to your team on a big gut it out win , Collaros won that one for you guys awesome final drive down the field to give it to your kicker for the win . 
Can’t wait for next week and the Labour Day classic, I’m making the trek down to Regina to watch it will be a fight for first place

How can you challenge it?  They already went to video review to make the call.  He'd get a penalty if he did.

The only block ive seen him miss back to pre play off run. If he was gone, youd cry your self to sleep watching him play for other teams. 100% guaranteed.

Antigha saw lots of reps tnite actually. 10+. 

No reason to move alexander to sam. Darby was good, alexander knows all the ins and out of our D from every position having played it. Darby is fast. It would just throw off player continuity. The problem tonight was crazy deep zones. The old hall special.

That one is baffling. The other one, the crapmaned center made a bad call. But they had lots of looks at it. No way they'd have then over turned it. The league should come down on that, thats the 2nd time the CC over turned a play that clearly did NOT have indisputable evidence.

This is true, but having kyrie or rocq back would be great. Those guys are better as rotational players not starters. 

 

Fairy concerned how handily it seemed the Stamps controlled both lines of scrimmage. Oshea talked all week about having to be more physical and yet Calgary beat us up in the trenches all night.

Sayles and walker did as much as any DT could. Both had big TFLs tnite and sayles had a big one last week. Walker had 2 qb pressures tonight too. Both weeks the teams got rid of the ball before they could really do any thing.  Same as the ends. When we stopped the stupid fronts we started getting pressures.

100% of the problem is the defensive play call. We put bighill at sam, and put all our front 7 on the line. If the O can create a gap, which zone blocking is good at, the runner has a straight path to the secondary.

The touch was before he was down, it doesnt count as a downed player. It wasnt even close. You have to touch the guy once hes down. Calgary didnt do that.
