Houston did draw in for a couple games too. But miller was the worst of them. 
 

at the end of the day houston has been very good this year. And that’s what’s important. 

Miller was awful. I put our one meaningful loss last year squarely on him. Houston was much better even then.

not sure if this has been discussed but what are the opinions on Olivera running the ball. Personally I don't he is good enough. He is slow to get to the line or pocket, stutter steps when he gets there and is always down by first contact. Our other running backs are quicker and harder to bring down and do not go down on first contact most of the time. Opinions?

I really want him to succeed but right now he looks like a back up RB at best.

You can tell he desperately wants to be the new Harris, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to have the same arsenal of tools at his disposal. 

I'm going to reserve judgment until our OL is a little more healed up though, as that may be a large part of the problem right now.

We'll see!

Crazy to think we're a couple wins away from clinching a playoff spot already

Good lord do we need an RB and a kicker. Gutsy win but geeze. 

How do we not go for two when we’re up by 7? A two point conversion and a two score games significantly increases our probability of winning. Then we miss the convert anyways. Just insanity. 

We don't need a new kicker, we just need to turn him slightly to the right. Almost every attempt drifts to the left... I do not know if he ever misses right

Well he did hit the right upright on Friday (that ricocheted through) but I can't remember if it drifted right or if he just started it right in an attempt to not miss left

Troy Westwide the 2nd?

WOW!!!  Sometimes a picture says more than a thousand words.

Robertson is a big DB and has been one of the better ones …absolutely defenceless against that. 

Also, shout out to the girl sitting in Row 2 Seat 8.

He's high pointing that ball almost the total height of Robeson over his head...pretty hard to defend that..damn

Hit him below the knees while he's up that high and cartwheel him.

Well to do that u would have to basically be doing Pi as u obviously weren't playing that ball haha...but that would look epic

Catching up on this thread a day late… unfortunately missed the game and managed to go all day yesterday avoiding the score… finally watched it last night… lots of thought but I’ll take it down to three things…

1) lots of talk about keeping 4 American receivers or finding a US RB, or bring in a US o-lineman … don’t forget the ratio… we still need to maintain 5 Canadians on offense. 
2) speaking of the oline… what is Tui Eli up to?… correct me if I’m wrong but I think he can travel within Canada now?… would be a nice addition if he’s available

3) OPI…. Agudosi just needs to start doing things to gain respect… like spitting on players, eye gouging, throwing temper tantrums on the sidelines, and hitting players with their helmet in pre game… once he starts doing all those class acts… he’s get the respect he deserves to avoid OPI calls…

It's not PI if you hit him as or after the ball hits his hands.

That would be hard to do consistently. Still no guarantee he doesn’t still catch it anyway.

Good luck trying to time that tho

Same as timing any hit on a receiver. I did it in high school, so it can't be that hard.

You would need to give him 6-10 feet of space to pull that off in the corner of the end zone.  Doesn't sound advisable on a one on one.

Yeah and the better play is to try and get your hand in to pop the ball out as he is coming down anyway.

Even with good coverage, if you loop the pass up there......Agudosi can just go get it .   Pretty sure Collaros has already figured this out.   Expect to see more............
