Colin Unger Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 2 hours ago, TrueBlue4ever said: Their offence wasn’t even that good. Both of Montreal’s TDs were off pick 6’s. If we can score even one touchdown in the Grey Cup game, Montreal’s offence will need to do more than it was able to do in two full games against us to overcome that deficit. That’s dominance. Montreal had 197 net offensive yards vs Toronto. Montreal is quarterbacked by a game manager and they are essentially a game manager team. In most cases they lose to good teams and beat all mediocre to bad teams. Winnipeg needs to avoid beating themselves and they will win this game. ddanger, Tracker, JCon and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Unger Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 Looks like the center wasn't as badly injured as it looked in the game as he's not even listed on the injury report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like he dislocated a finger which at the moment would of made it hard to snap the ball. MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this criticism is a little nit-picky. It 100% is. But it's bothered me since he became starter. 2021 he got away with a lot. Last year it actually improved and this year it's bit him a few times. Like you said though, nitpicky....but I still believe we need to keep the ball away from that MTL safety.

Colin Unger Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 If i could choose between one of Bighill and Scheon being healthy and the other not playing.. Personally, i would choose Scheon. I thought that Cole and Clements played quite well and im more concerned with Montreal's D than their O. 1 minute ago, Bigblue204 said: It 100% is.

Its the 5 yard outs that turn into a pick 6. I don't think we need to play the game scared. K-Shack, Piggy 1 and Bigblue204 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Matt Nichols suffered some injuries he was basically at Fjardo's level. Once he no longer had Winnipeg to make him look decent he couldn't stay in the league. And it wasn't age he's only a year older than Zach. But at his best he was probably a little bit better than Fajardo.

The fact that you compare Nichols with a shoulder injury that ultimately ended his career to fajardo says it all really.

I don't think we will ever see Proulx as a line judge. He was the Backup Referee in the Montreal-Toronto game. The ratings are based on how they performed throughout the year, and it looks like Kroeker made less mistakes. Perhaps Vallesi was better as well, or maybe Proulx declined the job for some other reasons. 57 minutes ago, Colin Unger said: I wonder if Kroeker is a Mennonite. Going to be suggestions of bias referring whether it was menno or frenchie. Kroeker is from Saskatoon, so if there was going to be bias on his part, it wouldn't be for Winnipeg. That being said, both are professionals and call a good game no matter who is playing. HardCoreBlue and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
