If you're a QB in a league where 6 of 9 teams make the playoffs, and your team didn't, there's no way in hell you can win MOP.

Doesn't really move the needle. Maybe some stability on football side. Average but unspectacular U Sports program he's built at one of the biggest schools in biggest recruiting grounds in nation.

They've fallen off in a big way this year. Their D is a mess because they held back money for Rourke and Betts. If they win this year it's because they outscore how shitty their D is.

Calgary has been bankrupt as many times as Toronto has in my life. They are the posterchild for why a club like Edmonton should have stayed community owned. Immediately when Calgary switched over it started.

Did I ever tell you about the time Rolan Milligan took me out to go get a drink with him? We go off looking for a bar and we can't find one. Finally Milligan takes me to a vacant lot and says, 'Here we are.' We sat there for a year and a half and sure enough someone constructs a bar around us. The day they opened we ordered a shot, drank it, and then burned the place to the ground. Milligan yelled over the roar of the flames, 'Always leave things the way you found 'em!'

Kind of hilarious how McNeil brushes off Dickenson wearing so many hats as "leaning on personnel department" during the season. Personnel department is two people in Calgary. You need GM to do a fair amount of scouting work in this league in this era.

So basically Covid restrictions to normal to no substantive change in past two years. At least it's not going down I guess. Yeah and BC had some big draws, most around paying $1 million plus for a musical act included as part of a ticket to a football game. Not sure their average otherwise would provide revenue to even pay the bills/payroll.

The piss poor efforts of the CFL to grow the game at grassroots is felt across the country. Luckily the Bombers pick up the slack in Manitoba. We have more initiatives sponsored by NFL than CFL. Most kids aside from a few diehards gravitate to NFL. Officiating at all levels is awful. CFL is pulling up refs who don't know basic rules and struggle at amateur level. Ambrosie has to wear this mess but especially the CFL level with the Command Centre debacles on an almost weekly basis.

Our offense was great in that game. Game plan was excellent. Used strength of Montreal D (zone blitz) against them. Collaros had a great game. Lawler needs to make some plays, Wilson was alright, unspectacular. Demski makes some first downs and a big play on a vertical. We don’t have much else at receiver. Bombers consistently brought 6-7 guys inside and burned Als with playaction. They were loaded for run. 2nd half adjustment to just constantly flood half the field tore the Als apart. Only issue was lack of aggression in redzone. Now that might be smart to preserve FG chances, but think you have to give guys chance to make plays. Call some zero read stuff where we basically know where the ball is going coming out of the huddle. Defense was horrible especially vs Fajardo. Only reason they got off the field is if Fajardo missed a throw. A bit more pressure against Alexander who doesn’t move the ball quickly but also burned us on scrambles. They isolated Bonds and our backers and torched them. Bonds really struggled with leverage on Snead, where he wanted/needed to be. They snuck Snead around the field and we could not cover him with anyone, always lose track of him. The only guys on the field who consistently flow to ball on runs/completions are Jones and Holm. Not a fan of Nichols playing deep half/third as much as he did in that game. Basically removed him from the game. Our tackling and recognition are terrible…run a bunch of screens on us we’ll probably give you 20 yards on 2/3 of them.

Ur mom

Also a former CFL player.

Problem is if teams sit in zone on us can’t have guys lost on how/when to adjust their routes. Wilson is improving but still kind of iffy down by down. Tough to get by with really two solid options and one who is a top target.

Feel like Collaros needs another guy he trusts…should get Rasheed Bailey off Ottawa’s PR to replace Wolitarsky. Sit Wheatfall.

What a stupid call to go for the kick. Nobody has leg for that into wind.

Arm/shoulder looks like.

Sutton is way early. Need to challenge then go for it 3rd down if you don’t win challenge. But force them to make the call.

Challenge for PI

Yeah winning 8 games in a row and hosting a playoff game usually leads to a firing.

D needs to make some stops now.

Gotta have some kind of wide option in short yardage to at least force D to widen out.

Lucky stuck in 4th gear.

Think he’s pissed Wheatfall never flattens out into the void in zone.

Pretty amazing we even have a hope to host West Final with the receiving corps we’ve played a lot with. No clue how to read and adjust routes to zone to be available for Collaros to get ball out.

Probably need at least 17 points to win this one. Can’t rely on D

Half the time we’re in cut and Snead is just killing Bonds on the route. Too bad we can’t make a play on a ball tonight. Lots up for grabs for the D.
