because we got spanked. If we win, then clearly production in all positions was good enough to win and doesnt need to change. And when we lose, or especially if we get spanked its a 5 alarm fire.

Every team gets punched in the mouth at some point during the season. Its not how hard they get hit, its how they recover. Nothing has really changed since last week. Weve merely seen what can happen if you play down to your opponents, or if they out prepare/execute you.

That was on a notoriously slow testing ground too. He easily would have run a very fast time by nfl standards other wise. Iirc his fast time was 4.4.

I would suspect their action was based on believing they could shape and hone hall into a much better dcor then what was available on the market. Should things have been improved beyond this point by now? Yes. But this coaching staff is always slow with fundamental change. Is that slowness bad? yes. Is it enough to clean the slate? not this off season. Maybe the following year though. Edit, I would add previous to this year halls half time and in game adjustments were pretty good. This year they have been none existent.

Id rather see the NIs rotate in more with demski, demski take full time KO return duties and carry any one other then lankford. Hes a worse option in returns, and at wr.

he is listed on the active roster. id love to have him back while dressler recovers.

I think it means he is loyal to a fault, i also think he has put a lot of his own stuff in halls scheme, especially in the front 7. I think wade and walters are also loyal types just not as loyal.

We find guys, but yeah the coaching staff tends to fall in love with awful offensive/defensive guys who play teams and can fill a minor role. its time for an end to the stankford experiment.

mhm after finishing with the second best record in the league iirc and winning his division. I would say right now we are on track for some shaking up of the coaching staff in the off season. I dont think wade/walters n co will settle. I think plop will move on to a HC job and hall will be canned. I dont think mos is gone short of a gigantic implosion but I do think his seat gets warm next year if things dont move forward.

Our defense is the perfect type to go for two against. I like the call to go for 2 more often. The biggest reason we seldom do it is medlock is money.

Barrett didnt get pushed out of the cfl though. He left for greener pastures down south. Some cushy college jobs (realistically college jobs are the best positions in all of football for a coach imo) then the NFL. he could be a head coach in the cfl if he wanted. Most isnt barrett, but they are similar types of coaches and people. And frankly Im good with that comparison.

Yep. This fan base is past the point of being happy to make the play offs each year. Its time to turn the corner as a franchise and do what ever it takes to get that done.

Nichols in general has done very well facing the blitz. The usual issue would be the offense disappearing for stretches and being too conservative. Last night was different. To be honest i feel like the CFL today is a race to 30 points. Like 100 in the nba I feel like the team that hits 30 first has a gigantic edge, and that any thing short of 30 is not a solid out put / lead. Such few first downs blah blah blah thats what happens to defenses in the 4th. Same issues with the D as always.

ill never get tired of them getting trolled over that.

right about now half the fan base would be only too happy to deal plop n matty to the riders. I wouldnt send nichols. I do think plop is a better hc then OC though. His greatest strength as a coach is as a teacher and leader. If he ever stops getting in his own way trying to out think him self he'd be great at x n o stuff too. At this point i expect him to be in bc sask or mtl as a hc next year.

Not surprised this has drummed up. Since coming back from injury he hasnt performed at his previous level. The feast or famine nature of our offense has always been this way though. So its hard to pin point how much is nichols and how much is plop. nichols doesnt excel at the deep ball, but then why are we tossing em soo much more suddenly? The big thing Im seeing is nichols is not beating the rush this year. Previously he beat the rush with his pre/post snap read and quick decisions. If that meant throwing the ball away he did. Its not just teams running more complex schemes either, hamilton uses mostly man coverage. Harris had 3 catches for 6 yards. 3 wrs made up 90% of our pass completions and 1 was well over 50% of our passing yards. One this is for sure, As fans we expect better and better things. And the team is taking a bit of a step back. One way or another we cant have double digit 5 play or fewer drives including a punt.

1 Darvin adams. He was all over the field, and was missed when open a couple times monster night. 2 Drake nevis. often the dl or both DTs get the nod. because nevis and poop and the entire dl are stellar. But drake the snake deserves the nod to him self. 3 Thompkins. I feel like as a check down guy he is heavily under used. Need a first down? Need to toss a 50/50 ball? This is your man. HH odd one, but this goes to weston dressler. Hope he gets better soon. What we lose just by having stankford on the roster is a huge turn down. The effort and leadership of dressler on top of his skill is sorely missed.

and the off season scrum for plop begins early.

im pretty sure if it was we would have heard a comment about bauer from him already.

I feel like he has had more time and reps with the riders then us. but at the same time i still feel like he is one of ours, i love watching the guy play. i wish him nothing but the best.

of this half dozen of the other. lots of guys get false positives from contaminated supplements. The manufacturing of legit supplements is very often done in the same place were illegal substances are bottled. That said it doesnt excuse guys who pop. its on them to be sure they are clean.

paint me like one of your saskatchewan girls.

missing that big chunk of time hurts. QB is a rhythm position, once knocked out of it it is hard and time consuming to get back. I dont think weve done that in a while, though i do love that package follow up.

calgary is certainly an elite regular season team. But yeah this is not an era dominated (in grey cups) by any elite team or teams. I dont know if its the salary cap bringing parity, or just that the qb talent has spread it self fairly evenly across the league. Also any one short of a deep ball specialist (and even then to an extent) is going to struggle when they throw that many balls deep down field with such regularity. The defense knows its coming after a while, and even if you run it well its such a lower percentage pass the deeper you go that it will take your offense out of any rhythm and stall drives.

I think thats two good teams tackles for him since he came back. Un like most mobile athletic qbs, BB is strong af.
