It's an indoor GC...Burris might have done well...

Your next OC won't be able to do that either. Any opposing D worth their salt will shut down the run and make your rookie throw more. The best you can usually hope for with a rookie QB is your defense keeping the game close or perhaps chipping in with turnovers and points. You have good points for sure. I just can't justify losing that many games without Durant. Terribly predictable play calling also. No sense moving beyond a vanilla scheme if the QB can't execute it. Who's your QB coach? Either your young QBs were incompetent or he did a poor job of preparing them. Guys like Marve (2014) and Collaros (2013) are proof that it can work if prep is done proactively throughout the season.

That's not cool

It's always uncomfortable bringing dates home when you live with mom. Especially when you're 47...

That seems to be a chronic problem with all crews...some games I almost wonder if it isn't by design to protect the QBs.

There were also games where Pav was outstanding but the Jets still lost. eg. vs. Pittsburgh

Calgary isn't going to gift wrap 28 points the way the Als did. Stamps will win, they might even shut them out.

The Als Defense deserved better yesterday - great game by them. Without special teams and 747 Crompton dishing up TDs - the game is not even close. Then again - all the woulda, coulda, shouldas ran away and hid...

It's obvious that Reilly wasn't going to have a long term CFL career, but Jones is doing everything he can to expedite that process. Which brings the pocket passers vs. scramblers debate to mind...

I'm not sure why he hasn't already...

Yeah, their run game may have worked here and there, but they used it far too much and made it easy to get stuffed after a while. And when Sunseri -or whoever was in as QB- actually did throw the football, it would go to someone like Schilens or Swain rather than throwing to our main core like Dressler and Getzlaf. They didn't throw to our good WRs enough. Because as I said, predictable and easy to defend. Seriously you had rookie qbs in (or a dumb Joseph). Take away the big threats and trust that the young guys won't be able to go through as many reads. You are clearly too used to having a good qb like Durant behind centre and don't understand the extent that a wet behind the ears limits what an offense can do. Do you have make him sound like an idiot - even when he basically agrees with you?

I'm uncomfortable with the direction this thread is going...

What's with the infatuation with 300 yard games? The leaders in this stat. were Ray and Willy, despite the flying pigskins neither managed to secure a playoff spot for their teams. In the end oddly wins seem to count more than passing yards. Since we're playing chicken and egg...Michael Bishop: 11-1

More Canadians on the OL...while we're at it...

Yeah, in a lot of ways it would have been better if that sucker punch to Rich would have killed him as his quality of life isn't very good now. Hate saying that... You should hate saying that...

I miss the coffee thread...

I picked the Als...the time difference and I was not expecting Glenn to have a good game.

Completely relevant to the topic. Putin was basically saying 'I'll do what I want.' lol okay. It wasn't relevant to my point. But you can "win" if You want. *shrug* I thought Putin's response was interesting, so I added it. If someone calls a post irrelevant, I'm going to explain why I made it.

Somebody has been watching too much ESPN and his name starts with a "G" and ends in "ary." Taman may not be his friend anymore after that one. Taman probably hasn't tried the prime rib sub yet...I sense a kiss and make up lunch date...

If Reilly was healthy it'd be a bloodbath There would wailing and gnashing of green jerseys...

That ain't all it's cracked up to be...

Nichols, Goltz or Reilly on one leg? Not exactly your ideal trio. I can hardly contain my excitement.

Cheap brandy has been a very appropriate drink this Sunday...cheers to mediocrity...
