TBURGESS

I don't mind Dinwiddie as a QB coach, but he's way out of his depth as an OC.

There is already too many challenges IMHO. Every TD. Every turnover. Up to 3 by each coach. We don't need any more stinking challenges.

Montreal is as bad as we were last year, maybe worse. Coaching issues. QB issues. Horrible decisions. Don Matthews looked like someone should put a mirror under his nose to see if he was still breathing on the bench. Smith, then Brink, then Smith, then Brink. I'm certain that's not the way to get any consistency. Smith's their best option. Let him run around and keep chucking it deep. That's what he does best. Dimwiddie as an OC? I don't see them winning more than 3 or 4 games this year. BC's an enigma. Play great one week. Stink the joint out the next. Calgary should have pressured Glenn more to get him off his game like Montreal and Wpg did. Harris had a great half and Calgary's great defense gave up a bunch of big plays. Not the result I was expecting, but it sure is nice to be alone in first place.

Doug Berry's a better OC, but Montreal fired him early this year, so he's not likely going back now.

Ray's got no one to throw to. Smith has no accuracy. Could be a real stinker tonight. I flipped a coin and went with Montreal.

There are those who are bitching about bitching about the play, but no one's actually bitching about the play in the first place. Great play. Great throw. Got us the win. Doesn't mean it was a good call.

Is it really that low percentage though? RB on a linebacker or DL and just lob it over the coverage... Khari Jones put a lot of tds on the board just by putting the ball up and letting guys make a play on it why shouldn't Willy? Yah, it is a low %. Most of the time, you'll get a LB on the RB, not a DE. The additional speed and cover ability, quickly turns that TD into a knock down and a win to a loss. Most of the time, when 2 receivers are in the same spot, the ball isn't completed. By that logic any play is a low % play call because you clearly expect the coverage to never get beaten and to make plays to knock the ball down. What I saw happen was the qb saw his RB beat his coverage badly so he dropped the ball over top of the coverage. Seems to me that's what good qbs do to make plays. Throw the ball where the receiver can catch it and the defender can't. That Denmark brought his route too close to the play is nothing to do with the play call. It was a low % play that worked. That doesn't turn it into a high % play or a good play call. Willy made a great throw. That doesn't turn it into a high % play or a good play call. Denmark running a bad route doesn't have anything to do with if it's a good play call or not, but it does greatly reduce the chances of success.

The 'deep' receiver ran the wrong pattern and brought their defender into the play. We were lucky to get away with it. Low % play call + wrong route usually doesn't equal success, but it did last night. We also got a new terminology... The 2 yard hail Mary.

Any team, except maybe Calgary, starting their 2nd string QB and 3 or 4 backup O lineman would be considered an easy game. That's not to say they can't beat us, but they shouldn't. I'm not suggesting that we should take them lightly, but lets face it, this is one of the easiest games we have have on the schedule.

There is no such thing as an easy win in the CFL. Sure there is. We used to be the free spot on the Bingo card. You think Hamilton right now is as bad as we were last year? Pretty close to as bad.

Most of our 1 game injured list is more of a taxi squad. Player "A" gets hurt and player "B" comes off of the injured list. Good use of the 1 game as long as we have the cap space.

This one should be an easy win for us. Hamilton has tons of problems including an injured starting QB and most of the O line. The only thing I'm worried about is LeFevour breaking down our defense with his runs.

Guys... let it go. We're playing great now. No need to dredge up the last 4 regimes.

My only worry against Hamilton is LeFevour running amuk. Our D is better than their O and our O is equal to their D.

Time the play. If he gets hit before 3-4 seconds, then it's on the O line. If he gets hit after that time, then it's on Reilly. In real time, without looking at it again, I don't think he had 3-4 seconds before he got sacked.

1. I'd have called a sneak on second and inches. 2. Reilly didn't throw the ball away because he didn't see the guys behind him who sacked him, he only saw the guy in front of him. You can't blame him for not having eyes in the back of his head. 3. The sack is as much on the O line as it is on Reilly. 3 guys got to Reilly in the backfield. He might be able to beat 1, maybe even 2, but 3 is impossible.

Really stupid play call. Clime says an 80% chance of working? How bout a 10% chance. Wind at their backs. Punt the ball and give that great defense a chance to hold them to zero points.

Dumb idea IMHO. No dumber than a lot of ideas on this forum though. I don't understand the constant need for some folks to bash the media. They've got to write X number of words to fill the space. Every article isn't going to be gold.

I totally understand why people are frustrated with the refereeing, but it's the reality in the CFL. You can complain all you want. It won't do any good. The really funny thing here is the play you're complaining about was called properly. The player is allowed to get back up and run as long as they do it pretty much right away.

That's not true. If he goes down, then no whistle, then gets up and starts to run again and gets smoked...he is a running back...no penalty! I have no doubt at all their will still be a penalty. You can complain about it, but it will still happen.

If someone smokes Reilly if he does it again, they will take a roughing penalty, 100% of the time.
