A message to Miller and Walters

[Blue28]

Please put pressure on your coach to replace the pop warner OC. 

[17to85]

Well how about the head coach deciding to kick a super long field goal just because? That's an egregious decision that he is lucky they got away with. Punt that ball and make Ottawa go the length of the field with little time to try and tie the game.

While you’re at it please bring back 2021 🙃

Amen! Super Bad Decision by our HC - I guess he will explain it away! While we are discussing coaching issues - how about finding a real OC? Got to be a better one out there than what we have.

[Goalie]

I’d agree. I mean we went 2 and out for 2 quarters really. D coordinator ain’t much better. Neither is O’Shea if he allows it to continue. 1 call by O’Shea. Honestly he’s prob thinking our O can’t move the ball. So let’s try this. In the end they win 30 27. Ottawa scored 17 points in the 4th with their backup. That’s on the D really. But the O went 2 and out really the entire 2nd half almost.

If this had been.a loss, in no way could it be blamed on the D. They were gassed, the O needs to stay on the field.

[Eternal optimist]

Not sure which is dumber... O'Shea kicking a long FG, or Dyce not going for 2 when it was clearly the only chance that team had to win

you jump out to 17 point leads it should be super easy, barely an inconvenience for the offense to score a few more points and kill some time to bring the win home. Instead they fail spectacularly in the 2nd half 2 games in a row and let the other team back into the game because they can't do ****. It's embarassing. Hogan needs to get the **** gone. Maybe he's got a future as an OC, but this team needs to live in the present.

I disagree,  I don't think the play calls were bad up until that Strev 2nd and 3rd play.    Execution was iffy and the o-line definitely needs 2 new fresh faces since Ottawa was easily able to get into our backfield far to often.   

Wade needs to yell at O'Shea for going for the field goal.  Also for not challenging easy challenges such as those 2 pass interference calls on Allen.

We have one on our coaching staff. He's coaching our qbs. Osh won't fire Hogan, though

The D gave up 10 points in the 4th. Can't blame them for the missed fg return. Although their passive coverage almost caused a loss again.

Did we win the game? Did the fans go home happy? Is the next home game a sellout? Then Miller will be doing no such thing.

How can Osh justify playing Kolo as a starter? For every one good play he makes, he makes four bad ones.

Yeah, we continue to win with smoke & mirrors. This is not a very good team. The 5-4 record for now covers up a lot of things. We'll see how we'll be doing after the 18th game.

Especially when the opposition starting QB goes down. This team has the most insane history with backup QBs.

You can criticize certain facets of the game, but there was some good football played out there.

Dustin Crum came in and our D crumbled. Sorry but there’s no way Ottawa should have tied it with the backup QB. Sure you can blame the O and I did by mentioning they were 2 and out all half really but ffs, the D needs to make a stop also. Especially against the backup QB. The D wasn’t great. They were gassed? Then make a stop or learn to tackle.

He should be ******* embarrassed that he ended a play by throwing Brady off balance when Brady had to literally kick him in the ass to get his fat ass in gear and make a block downfield. Guy just ******* sucks.

and when Mitchell almost got killed...poor play call and execution aside...he just stood there as a guy right in front of him flashed by and obliterated Mitchell

And those just not 2 isolated plays..they one of many...game in and game out...Even the one run where Neuf was downfield and wiped out that Ottawa guy...Kolo was riding shot gun...utterly lost....didnt know who or how to attack another defender and basically was just in the way...then was gassed after that for several plays and his snapping suffered...we have too much ded weight

Sure Thomas made a play...big effin deal....he also made a lot of suck and irrelevance for most his snaps too...while guys like Adams and Person sat for him

Ball too....finally made 2 special teams tackles...but really....what other use does he serve?....A Bailey would have helped a gassed defense maybe get some footing rotating in...and oh yeah...he plays cover teams too

Will say the receiver's stepped up...as did the oline save for Kolo....but we definitely need a legit number 1 guy cause at this rate we gonna kill Demski...we almost killed Wheatfall....but what a gritty performance from him

Agree here.  Plenty of times last night I saw oline not block the man right in front of them resulting in a -ve play for the offence.  Guys are missing assignments.

I’ll take the win but lots of issues to deal with.  Coaches making stupid, risky decisions is one of them.

 

[Goalie]

Could the argument not be made that they are an ok team who struggled against 1 team so far really only? Cuz 3 of those 4 losses are against one team. Bombers are 5 and 1 against non Calgary teams. Just saying. I don’t think they as bad as some of you pretend but they certainly could use some upgrades at multiple spots. If winning by 3 or less makes you bad then the whole league is bad. Maybe there’s more parity this year but 5 and 1 against non Calgary teams suggest we aren’t awful. 
 

bombers still control their fate. LDC and BB gonna be big. Win both of those and with another Sask loss, and a win against Montreal next week, after the BB we could be 1st in the west at 8 and 4. Just saying.

They got pummeled by a crappy Argo team so the BBs are in no way elite and not a GC contender at this point, IMO.

So in the game our starting QB got hurt and we played the broken one Streveler for the majority? Calgary pummelled us. Toronto didn’t. Sask really is the only team who has truly pummelled a team and that was 34 6. Us losing by 13 with a backup QB isn’t a pummeling.  
 

the narrative is hogan and the O and it’s not wrong but let’s not pretend that the D is any good either. You know tho a few years ago we prob win that game cuz our D was that good where 17 20 23 points won us games. Our D isn’t that good anymore tho. 
 

but still 3 of the 4 losses is one team. 3 and 0 vs the west minus Calgary. 2 and 1 vs the east. I don’t think we are as bad as the hysteria chat site makes it seem. Yes we got issues but seems like all teams do. The good ones (Sask and Hamilton) are healthy.

Does "They're an OK team who has lost 3 of 4 to one of the best teams" now equal - "They're an elite team who will be a GC contender"?

Goalie didn't say they were Elite at all. They're ok. They have yet to play their best ball. The hair pulling and Blow everything up arm chair GMs are getting tiresome. They need changes, but they aren't as far off as some are making it seem. The next few weeks will really tell the tale of how this season will go. 

[Goalie]

Beat Montreal. Beat Sask b2b. 
 

8 and 4. Likely tied for 1st. 
 

they aren’t elite. Nobody is. Sask isn’t even. They have had the healthy QB tho. Bombers need some upgrades also. They aren’t elite but they appear to be better than some of you think.

if we cant beat CGY with this current lineup and how we go about things....does it really matter?....Just like before CY and Sask couldnt beat us even when everythig seemed to go right for them...ad they adaptd and got better and things have shifted and we need to shift with it...and we struggling to do so...or are just too brain dead to see it and do so....we keep looking back and think...it will work out...and this yr it wont

With Alexander, I think MTL is Elite. Hamilton is also pretty close.

With healthy QBs yeah. But without. I’m not sure they are. Montreal sucks without Alexander.
