Greg McCrae had as many tackles on offense as Adam Bighill did on defense.  That stat isn't a great indicator, but vs a team like Calgary that basically doesn't throw more than 5-6 balls a game downfield plus runs a ton of inside zone you'd expect your LB's to clean up a bit more.

I think losing Clements early as the other true linebacker hurt this Defense immensely tonight. Bighill was at times attempting to play two positions trying to make up for Gauthier’s lack of speed and quickness to the ball.

 

When’s the last time we swept Calgary 3-0 in a season??

We have so many back up's and even 3rd and 4th stringers playing in some spots. Not altogether surprising the D looked baby shot sawwfffft...

Feel the opposite.  Clements played the whole game.

Adjustment they made in 4th was to have Gauthier in at more of a traditional A to B gap MAC and Bighill play the WIL.  And that's when the D got stops.

The problem is our SAM and WIL who play most are clueless in pass coverage.  Teams are isolating guys on them, tonight it was Begelton on Rutledge, Logan on Clements, and just torching us for 200 yards right there.

All 3 games with the Stamps have been good games. Glad we pulled out a win.

You are right , I just watched the highlights and Clements was in chase mode on all the big Calgary plays, and Bighill was overrunning and missing tackles. Rutledge made a bunch of tackles but that may have been due to poor coverage on his receiver and being first to the ball after it was already caught. Gauthier actually made some nice plays in the middle. I stand corrected.

How many injuries are they facing now? It's actually getting ridiculous. Yet...no excuses...no fuss...just W's

From tonight, Houston  Rene and Brady O got hurt and did not return, McCrae got hurt but came back and Woli also got hurt, not sure about him

Rene is done IMO.

Pretty sure he's on his 3rd or 4th ACL now.

Any chance McCrae replaces Bailey once Ellingson is back?

Not really sure.  Kind of like him as the RB/SB hybrid not sure he's a full time receiver.  Would like a look at Harrison.  Bailey blocks but man he's letting us down with his hands.

Bighill had a rough night. day late and a dollar short all night. Good thing is with a guy like that you know he'll be better going forward.

That's  not how osh rolls. Bailey does lots of little things tho. 

Bailey is fine..had one pass he should have had but in no way has he been dropping balls game in and out...he is vital in the non sexy stats nobody pays attention to.

Encouraging tho to see Wilson on sideline moving around like nothing wrong...no cast...boot...crutches...and 100 percent positive he had no surgery..so him being back the last 1/4 of season is a given I would think...and that rest was exactly what the oline needed....played great tonight

Was there an explanation on the broadcast for that RTP? I was at the game, and to my eye it wasn't late, low or high.

Dunigan said it was a b.s. call ,    the replays on tv really cemented that it was a crap call.

Nope. It was bewildering. They didn't understand it either. 

 

I wonder if the Command Centre had the ability to step in and overturn? That seemed like the most egregious screw up last night for the refs. And, there were many, many blown calls. The reffing is just so poor in this league.

No the booth thought it was a bad call.

bs that they didn't fix that call after they did that in a redblacks game multiple times.

Forgot about that!

 

Then, why didn't they? 

Dave Dickenson is annoying AF 

Cry baby 

Did Dickenson have another whiny ass Post game presser again?

Yeah both guys in the booth were like "Ah, yeah, ah i just dont see a penalty there". Just a horseshit call. Like WTF did you see to throw a flag on that?!?! Honorable mention to the jackass line ref that must have forgotten about forward progress and marked Demksi like 3 yards short on his crucial 2nd down conversion. Thank god the command center called bullshit on that one and corrected it.
