The offence sputtered once again when it was needed.   10 first downs in 3 quarters of football is flat out atrocious.     We forced two turnovers inside the 25 yd line and came away with 3 points!   Turn those into 2 TD's and we win this game.  Willy is still is very inaccurate with his throws and overthrowing or under throwing his receivers.  The boos he received tonight were well deserved.

The defense got shredded again tonight, but still gave us a chance to win.    This loss is on the O.

  I'm curious what the board here thinks on how much more time to give Willy?   Is the fact that we have no running game (no surprise there) contributing to his awful performance?  Should he be benched in favour of Nichols?  Thoughts?

Coming off the bench? His butt is glued to the bench and will remain there until ( wait for it) Willy gets hurt.

And maybe not even then.

I am not pining for Glenn.  I think Orridge should mandate a trade between Calgary and Winnipeg where Calgary gives Winnipeg Tate, purely because it's just not fair that we have to go through yet another year of pure suckage at QB.  

an addendum to this previous comment - Orridge could let us keep Willy, but mandate that all CFL defenses can only rush three players maximum on every down.

We are so 'cursed' because our GM's are unable to sign the best QB talent because we never have a stable OC or OL...  like offering Collaros more $$ but still being passed over...

And then cursed because we run with our starter even after they are hurt or declining in performance... then call up our mediocre backup and limp along with him...

Then in the last couple games of the season, we start our third-stringer, he looks good against defences that are resting... and we declare him the QB of the future.

Ummmm.....we haven't had that working well for us when it has happened so far this season, but you were using sarcasm- right? Right?

Why stop there? Amend the rules and double the value of all points scored in the 4th quarter...we'd be unstoppable!

I think 1 word played a role in Collaros signing in Hamilton. It basically comes down to location.  Closer to his family than Winnipeg 

Also hes hurt right now so we'd be playing our backup anyway

yeah but he wouldn't have been hurt because he'd have been playing behind our O-line, not Hamilton's, so he would have had much better protecti....oh never mind.

Over 70% for Nichols so far ...

Why no Dominique Davis option??? Think Nichols is ok to come off the bench but wouldn't be opposed to seeing Davis play, mobile qb with a good arm. 

How many concussions has Willy had?  Sorry if someone already brought this up.. Could we seeing the effects of brain damage?  Sure, in everyday life you'd never know.  But the fraction of seconds you make decisions as a QB and all the split second calculations that happen in your brain while throwing a ball deep etc...could he simply be damaged? We hear of great runners who come back from knee injuries at "100%" but are clearly not the same.  Might not be different with the brain.  That would explain why he didnt look all that great through training camp too. 

Well TSN reported that MOS and LaPoop said that Willy was making all the correct reads and progressions in the passing game. Maybe the affects of concussions are contagious.

If that is the performance that LaPo and MOS want, then they have to go.  Now.

Blah, blah blah....the placating talk implying that we are "on the verge" or whatever is simply not going to cut it, at this point.   If this season is salvageable ....that "process" has to start right now.   Until then, talk is cheap......
