3 stars plus hh out meh the als

[wbbfan]

1 brady. ofc carried the team today. 25-210 yards 

2 zach. protected the ball, got it out fast and made good decisions couple tough throws 

3 cam allen. some good cover, couple great hits separated wrs from balls which changes how teams can attack you. 

hh sterns bone jarring catch over the middle 

block of the game to strevy as a wr lead blocking for brady had a good edge seal 

crappy honker to that stupid ass siren 

dunce caps to lawson jr, form tackling on d, hogan 

honorable mention to strevy for doing a lot in light of injuries, wallace, wilson in short yardage, jones, and wj 

Unsung hero award to Person. he didn’t record a stat, but he tipped holms pick and had atleast 5 key pressures plus a couple hits. 

bonus points to having lapo in the booth. he’s soo damn good and improves the quality of life watching games by a ton  

[Arnold_Palmer]

Good gusty win. I’m optimistic if we can get Houston and Schoen in the line up next week and if atleast one of Demski or Sterns is healthy enough to get into the line up I like our chances heading to Regina. 

[JohnnyAbonny]

1. Brady, obviously. No elaboration needed. 

2. Demski, even though he played less than a half. The best year of his career, especially relative to what he does compared to the rest of the WR corps. 

3.  Collaros for some gritty play. Ran for a few first downs on pure effort. Evasiveness in the pocket was pretty damn good. No wild throws into coverage. Escaped the rush a number of times to get it out to Brady. Great job behind mediocre at best pass pro. 

HH- Wilson for the big gain in SY. 

 

Dunce 1- Whoever was responsible for that Chinese fire drill where they took a time count. 
Dunce 2- The officials for not shutting down the **** with the sirens.

Putting in Houston for Dexter Lawson seems like a no brainer now

They could put Whitney Houston in for Dexter Lawson and it would be an improvement.

Brady running like there's a puppy needing rescue in the endzone.   

Collaros looking like a wily veteran, lots of nifty plays and point guard passes and fewer prayer heaves.

Demski playing like an undisputed WR1.  Hope he's okay.

Our pass rush did not harass Morgan as much as I would have liked.

When the telecast showed Demski's rise in Bomber receiver history ... I didn't realize that Denmark was a top five bomber receiver. Wish we had him now as a midseason reinforcement like we did in 2016.  

Lapo his usual good self in the booth but needs to learn how to say "Poplawski"

1. Brady

2. Brady

3. Zach with no goofs

HH.  Willie’s deflections kind of expected, but they’re big

others: I liked a number of vaval’s plays, Castillo steady, Streveler can do anything, but gotta love wilson’s sneaks

[BBlink]

If Demerio Houston can return to form...suddenly our CB situation is looking good. I'm really liking what I'm seeing from Vaval. Uses his athleticism and works hard. Cam Allen's hit on Spieker gave me hope that we can put a decent secondary together.

But today the defense was still questionable at times given we were playing an 8th string QB. 

Offense was surprisingly well executed especially given we were out two of Zach's go-to receivers for most of the game. Have to credit Zach. He made some chicken salad today. Obviously leaned on Brady but I thought Zach had an exceptional game distributing the football.

I caught that too. “Pop-A-Lawski” lol

[ShyGuy]

I'm kind of amused I called Streveler for another return to the receiving corps... But there HAS to be a better solution for emergency receiver than the Back Up QB 11 months removed from ACL surgery right?!? A DB? A returner? Someone who only plays special teams?

[Noeller]

I don't understand the love for Lapo as CC... He's clearly a smart guy and understands football, but man he has a hard time communicating it. Hard time spitting out what he's trying to say.

I love him because he’s not named Glenn Suitor

Love him or hate him, what kind of Bush league broadcaster has the same colour guy for 3 games in a weekend? Wonder what Matty is up to?

[Mark H.]

I thought this was a good game for the O. Montreal is always going to get pressure, they have a great D. 26 points and 200+ yards for BO, missing their undisputed #1 receiver - there's not much to criticize there

That's TSN. Nothing wrong with LaPo. Guess they gave the weekend off to Forde. I don't get the time off these broadcasters get during the season. Bierness (thankfully) seems to be off every 2-3 weekends replaced by a much better host in Laura Diakun . Some analysts (like Muamba) are here for one game, gone for another & then back again for the third & fourth games of a weekend. Then off the next weekend. They signed up for this. They have November to May off to rest up. They all should be in studio.

Yeah agreed....almost Vintage ZC....Now find hi 2 other legit recievers to go along with primetime BO

Person as well....why he doesnt get more reps is insane...and why we dont do more 3 DE dets with Adams....or Lawson too is baffling...way too much Thomas and Schmeck together...Schmeck has a great role on both sides of ball on the short yardage package, and is not gonna kill ya with some reps in the DT rotation...Thomas has no role or value really

Allen as well...why was he excluded from get go?...along with Person....Love to see Woodbey on for one of our waifs...we insanely weak in the physicality on the backend..almost embarrisingly weak

putting in Ken Hailey would be a no brainer lol....

[Goalie]

1. Zach. I mean that might have been his best game in years. Dude had 13 straight completions at one point. Montreal has a good D and play us hard since we were in the east. 
 

2. Brady. Over 200 yards. Dude stepped up. 
 

3. Sergio. Was perfect on the night. 
 

HH to sterns and Demski. Both had great first halfs. 
 

another HH to person who seems to make a difference when he plays. 
 

Houston or Dandy. Whoever. Just no more Lawson Jr. 

 

I gotta give a wTF to the refs who didn’t call a penalty eventho our OL (think it was Kolo) had his helmet torn off. 
 

and lastly a hhh and that means it’s all about the game and how you play it… give me Logan here. Did he stand out? No but he’s a weapon and it was nice seeing him out there finally.

I see on the stat sheet Connor Shay had 1 tackle. Did he get some defensive reps and I missed that.

I guess that's one thing we can cross off the "things to rage about" list  ... our rookies *are* getting defensive reps
