How bout this to, shanky legs averaged 43.8 per punt but with no hang time at all and leake gobbled up an easy 13.6 per return. 30.2 net which set up a ton of drives from mid field. Grace net was 39.  Poor Sheahan must’ve been punting into that wind all night 🤧

In the stadium the hang time on Grace's kicks were apparent. Such an advantage.

That may have been Collaros' best game in almost 2 years. He was hitting guys in stride all game long. Only 2 really bad decisions (that he got away with). Thought he was lights out all night long. Run blocking and Peterson need to ramp it up in the first half moving forward. Not a lot of space to move and Peterson doesn't seem to be running with power to start games.

Someone has to explain to me why MOS decided to kick off in the 2nd half. I'm still angry about that. I just don't understand the choice given the options/potential outcomes. One of the worst in game calls he's made in his time here imo.

A W....that's the most important...overall need to clean some stuff up, our 3rd quarter was possible the worst quarter we played so far this year....but we got the W and that's the most important.

As long as I can remember, if O'Shea feels there is any advantage to taking the wind he will take it given the chance. The fact that almost all the points in the game were scored going to the south end zone makes me think there was some advantage there.

I'll say it again too...our punter is garbage...and will cost us...he alredy does but we sneaking by

I dont care at times what his net is...when he cant put it as deep as others and it gains teams valuable field position...Plus he has zero ability to kick us out of trouble...none at all....we lucky we have a staunch defence cause it glosses over his shittyness....worst in league bar none

First maybe two seasons he was way more aggressive with taking the ball, fakes etc. back then it seemed like we needed every single drive and chance to win games. Since 19 gc, that hasn’t been the case and he’s gotten more and more conservative. 
 

 For me personally, you gotta be in extremely windy conditions, or windy plus muddy/wet/cold, to give up a drive. 
 Choosing the wind doesn’t give you any extra time with or against the wind, it just ensures that you have it in the direction you want in the 4th. The actual advantage is pretty slight and just makes closing out games easier. But you shouldn’t get beaten by factors like the weather if you are well coached team. 
 Also, the wind is not a simple advantage or disadvantage. It’s easier to kick longer with the wind, but you lose accuracy. Kicking with the wind is an advantage, but throwing with the wind is a disadvantage. Generally offences and QBs do better throwing into the wind than with it. Because it doesn’t mess with your accuracy as much, and it’s easier to throw harder into the wind than to take some thing off with the wind and retain a high level of touch on throws.

he started out shaky...but came around...he needs to string together multiple games like that tho....and against the top teams....maybe his old ass just needs a few series to work out the cobwebs and aches and grease his joints?

Osh muttered some nonsense trying to justify it..but also about re-thinking it...said they did it many times before too which means jack....repeating stipud crap just cause you got away with it isn't coaching excellence

Enviro Canada said wind last evening was between 10 and 13 km's ...hardly an issue and the field being 6 stories below grade was barely affected...flags in goal posts if you go back and watch for most part were barely moving so would have zero affect on passing...and minimal on kicks....just a dumb decision when you lost momentum and needed to come out and re-establish it....

Win is a win yup...happy about it but we definitely need some adjusting..tweeking and smarter coaching

I think just a coincidence to support the wind people's point...the fact nobody on broadcast even referenced wind conditions is good indicator it was a non issue...and 13 km max winds...if you think you are impeded by that in a pro football game you best be getting some better players todeal with it

Sometimes you need to get a feel for the vibe of the game and whats going on and run up the points in the 3rd..even while you up and trust in your defence...grow a set per say

yeah making decisions based on you think you may need every advantage possible to score points in 4th...or possible help in impeding the other team is a weak sauce mindset

And he seems to take that extra 1/2-1 second longer to punt the ball where you feel most times its going to get blocked.  It's nerve racking.

Watching Jake Thomas last night on television. He's even wore than I thought. Always get turned inside to the right or left or is stood straight up & pushed back. Even when he made some kind of penetration towards the qb he was late. He has no moves. Just a straight bull rush. WTF??? And he got the majority of reps last night. He was lost on an island in a 3 man front. The Edmonton backs just ran right by him. Its to the point that I no longer respect him anymore. What a sad sack excuse for a DT. Retire, already.
