Again, how do you know? He's never been given such a game plan. Not once. I hope I get to see this young man play for an intelligent, creative OC that recognizes what he can do and isn't afraid to throw the ball downfield.

How many shots did he take downfield today? His entire play set was from -5 yards to 10 yards. He hit Lawler on one pass up the middle that surprised Calgary on second-and-one. What is he supposed to do? Turn off his headgear and start freelancing with his receivers to push the ball downfield? Yeah, that'd be a good career move.

In the CFL a QB is only as good as the receivers he has to throw to and the offensive play calling to get those receivers the ball.

Even Mike Reilly needs someone downfield to throw to.

Um, I think he was being facetious. The timing may have been a little off.

Sorry, but that's the pathetic excuse of a loser, and I know you're not a loser. We have won there before and will win there again.

It takes that long to learn 6 plays? Who knew?

O'Shea? :-)

Sorry. Did I not show the tongue-in-cheek emoticon?

Because without this mediocrity we'd be even worse. You want that?

and who is MBT going to throw to? Lucky on a sweep? Harris standing still 3 yards downfield? How about a screen to Demski? How about a button hook to Lawler 7 yards downfield? That's about the entire pass play book. Do you really think it would make any difference?

I hope you're not saying he can't throw the ball. Were you saying that when he hit Lawler for the TD? I doubt it. He helped put 27 points on the board in the first half. Then what happened? Calgary adjusted to stop Lapo's game plan, Lapo didn't adjust to what Calgary was doing, and we scored 6 points from there on. Sound familiar? BTW, 33 points should be enough to win most games. Giving up 37 is way too many points for our D to surrender. Secondary was way too soft. Bighill sucked. Jefferson was invisible. Sound familiar?

Yes but we couldn't afford to lose these 2 points. We really have nothing to play for now and I think it'll show. Calgary isn't going to lose to the Lions.

Football strategy is hard for our team.

Atta boy, Lapo. Need 10 throw for 3. Well done.

O'Shea will gather his coordinators and go over the film together.

Calgary with the adjustments on offense and Hall's D with no response.

Streveler our MVP.

Hall and Lapo need to go.

Lapo with the conservative play calls. Calgary expecting it, jumping the routes, get an INT. sigh.

What hand? 😉

Why not? We've already beaten this team and there is no reason to think we can't beat them again. We're playing better on D, our QB is improving, we are motivated, and we are relatively healthy.

As much as I hate to admit it the Riders have played their cards much better than we have so far this season. After Jones left I expected their team to be a complete mess but with some luck and a QB and a head coach they have managed to outplay us so far this year.

You think we're not trying? You can only play the cards you were dealt. How many head coaches do you see out there that are obvious upgrades to the one we have now? I don't see any. If you do please share.

A smart player knows when to throw in his cards for new ones in the hopes of being dealt a couple of aces. A smart player knows if there are any aces left in the deck. So are there? Or are you just blindly throwing away your kings for deuces?
