I feel like this one could be ugly with no Dru Brown.

The in game ratio rules are too confusing and pointless.

Also teams don't lose a challenge due to "new information"?

They better be consistent what that on all challenge calls.

Don't think I've seen so many passes get knocked down at line of scrimmage. you\d think that Ottawa/Schlitz would have made some adjustments. It looks like mtrl saw something in Schlitzs throwing motions that they are exploiting

Well that was downright unlucky

Dru Brown need to comeback asap. Otherwise RedBlacks will be in the basement for the duration of the season. And might cause Dyce job.

Redblacks need to find a defense or it's not gonna matter who is playing qb.

I thought at times the last few years that Ottawa was going to make some steps forward, only to be disappointed by either the lack of talent in many areas (not #1QB or receiver), coaching, or bizarre management decisions (why pay a receiver so much when you need a much better Oline, and a revamped D?). I guess it took Osh and company 5 years to get their Cup and be a perennial power. Not sure I feel the Redblacks can get there with this current regime. Time will tell I guess.

I'm not convinced Bob Dyce has a plan, maybe they could have figured that out 2 years ago if they'd asked him, but the team has been going sideways since they fired Marcel Desjardins.  Not that Marcel was a piece of cake, he was roundly hated for being cheap.

I think you guys are being over critical. Play Montreal with a backup QB & most teams are going to lose.

I agree, but Ottawa has played this way with their starter too many times to count, to not see an alarming trend. Plus, we just won against the best(?) QB in the league with our banged up backup 😁

Marcel D was a piece of something alright, but you can’t argue with winning a Cup so early in the history of a new team.

we nneed to package T.Jones and Thomas and a late round pick for Desjarlais....seeing as they are beast defensive guys would help them...and helps us...especially with ratio

You’re a very generous man. 

I think Bob Dyce has the same issue as Craig Dickenson. 
 

Players don’t fear any repercussions from him. 

It’s a culture thing and that starts above Dyce.
