Man we suck. I will actually be mad if they fire Hogan in the offseason for wasting half of this one

Half. Half. I think you have not watched most of the games this year.

Seldomly do I agree with firing a coach after 1 season.

Hogan is one of the few. He's been that bad.

He'll, I'd say let Jackson take over play calling right now

Looking so hot going into playoffs

Meh... Maybe their defense. Maybe. 

Listen, our O was garbage again tonight. We looked pretty good against Edmonton at home in like Week 3..... And against Hamilton a couple weeks ago. Other than that? Ass ugly offense. But I have no clue whose fault it is. I don't think a single person on this 'board knows whose fault. Is it the OL? Not enough talent in the WR corps? Hogan play calls? Zach? Not one person here knows for sure. 

Whatever it is, it needs to get fixed.

we will see in the play offs. The riders are deeper than i thought, and i think they have a strong future if they keep harris or get better at qb. 

 They aren’t 14 win team good imo. But they are the least flawed team in the league.

Fair. Some drops today hurt drives.

 

Roll Zack out a little bit. Give him an extra second or two to find someone. Commit to the run. He had like 30 yards passing in the 2nd half. Just a lot of puzzling decisions. I'm sure Zach isn't making Hogan's job easy 

 

But this is ugly. Mike Kelly ugly 2.0. The dude with the stupid tie celebration ugly 

Don't see how you dont give Vaval at least one star. Offense was lagging and he was the only thing that provided a spark.

Other stars? Well, fans showed up and were loud when it mattered... nobody else was in any way remarkable.

If you are saying we have sucked all year, I agree. But even I wouldn't have fired Hogan before game 9.

Well...maybe...

1. Vaval despite the fumble. Gave us the field position to put up a lot more points than we did. 
 

2. Woodbey. Star in the making. 

 

3. Me for sitting through that. 

HH- Wilson early touchdown

HM- Brady. Vaughters had a play or 2. Nichols had a nice PBU. Run D was pretty good, albeit against a backup. Cobb. 
 

DM- Everyone else, especially Kolo. 

 

We have had arguably 2 good offensive games all season.... TWO!

That was probably such an awful performance by our #1 offence.   There's no sugar coating how shitty this team is .

Stars:

1. Woodbey

2. Sergio 

3. The fans In a sold out stadium who had to watch that putrid display of football.  

 

Turds:

Hogan

Offence 

D-line for generating zero pressure 

 

Our "#1 Offense" isn't missing both Dalton Schoen and Nic Demski....

I don't believe for a second that they couldn't implement more quick release concepts on offense. It starts up front - they do not have the OL to run the O they seem to be stuck on.

That’s the most puzzling thing, they’ve gone to predominantly quick release stuff in 2 games this year (@ Mtl, vs Ham) and had success with it.

In the Hamilton game it opened up some deeper stuff to Pokey and even Mitchell that worked. 

They don’t have the OL, WRs or arguably the QB to run the watered down version of Bucks offence they’ve been using most of this year.

That's the part that chaps my ass the most. They **** kicked Hamilton doing that and seem intent on not trying it again.

Ok. I’ll go 

 

1. Brady. He’s just Mr reliable. Not used enough tho. 
 

2. Vaval. Yeah a fumble but he’s almost guaranteed field position if he doesn’t fumble. He could win us a playoff game or lose it 

 

3. Cobb. Because the first few series he looked like he should have played way more than he did. 
 

HM to sterns who I think was maybe our best (not maybe, he is) off season cfl FA signing. He has fit in nicely really. Mr reliable also. 
 

HH to Sheahan. He hasn’t really been a problem. 
 

now the million dollar question is 

 

do you rest guys next week cuz u playing Montreal again anyways

I'd start Wilson and let him play the entire game.

Also I'd give major playing time to all of our draft picks who basically only play on teams.

yep, also said more visible frustration on play calls from zach and others than he’s seen with any other oc here. 

The play call has also been brutally slow coming in. We barely get set with enough time for cadence and snap

Better idea... start Zach let him get hurt and out for the season.   Play Strelever until 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter and give Wilson one series where he hands the ball off twice.     In the first half of the play off game Strev will get hurt by pointlessly bull rushing the D.  Wilson then comes in completely cold with no real reps and looks rusty and we end up losing the game.   O'Shea then when asked what they could have done differently. He will then answer by doing this face: 

You only rest the guys if Calgary wins today... I've slept on it and the home advantage is a real one and might be a deciding factor against BC

 

Honestly either way though I'd be playing your starters to try and build some confidence going into post season

The only thing I can think of, and I'm being gracious ,is opposing D's watched the game tape and schemed to take it away?

The idea of us taking a game off gives me a sick feeling. 

If we can’t improve our standing in the last game i’m sure we do sit guys. It’d be best if we treated it like a second pre season game. Start the 1s, play them between a couple drives and just under a half. This offence is not running well enough to shut it down for a week, we need to get things going in a better direction and those snaps are valuable.
