yeah....but we also ended up losing for the same issues that the lil run just masked....and we right back in the same situation...except this time even less depth and talent

You can't compare this year's team with last year. Last year, we had a run & passing game as well as a secondary that made plays. This year, all our dbs do is frantically chase the receivers that beat their pants off.

Have to agree about our OC. His play calling has me yearning for Buck.😔

If that was literally true, that would result in a lot more female viewers.

On a rare positive note: we now seem to have a solid safety and Tony Jones had his best game as a Bomber- he seems to be getting better.

Tony Jones has been solid all year.

The one thing this team can't do is make major chamges because of the stubborness of their head coach. He'll die with Hogan before he ever makes a change to Jackson. It just won't happen. In all the years he has been here, have we ever heard Osh say he made a mistake? As in, his decision to attempt a 58 yard FG instead of punting the ball deep & pinning the RedBlacks.

Yup...everything he has done is the right call...do it again...he just can't admit failure or he screewdd up...same with roster...if it isnt injury dictated he won't change a thing as it shows he screwed up in player choice

The Bridges release was an utter shock...almost think it was Walter's maybe who said enough is enough...cause there is still a few guys who if not cut or PR'd shouldn't be playing....at the least starting or getting premium reps

Holy cow, that sounds like an incredible amount of work.  Super curious about the tools and data sources you use -- do you have your own play-by-play database?

I do have my own database. It's the CFL's play by play and then my charting going back to 2015. I used to have access to the CFL's play-by-play database. It was gone after the switch to Genius, and I'm working at learning how to access their stuff.

In the meantime I rip each game's play by play PDF into various Excel files. From there I work on charting, field goals, punting, 2nd/3rd downs, run game, expected vaule of field position...a whole bunch of things that I think have value for future discussions.

Or, you can add them to the broadcast, using your best baseball broadcaster voice.
