Extremely stupid decision on the safety...literally no difference in how many yards Calgary needs to win the game...better off forcing them to make more plays to have to score TD.

Still tons of time and Ottawa has no hope of converting a 2nd down.

Can't throw an open field block coming towards own endzone. Don't necessarily agree with the rule, but pretty blatant missed call at a huge time in a game.

That's an illegal block by the rules now.

Taking a stab in the dark or taking a puncture in the dark? Have heard speculation from a friend who owns a different restaurant but knows many witnesses that Matthews threw up his dukes and then got popped with the business end of a fork.

Other piece is we want our special teams guys fresh because Hamilton is dangerous on returns. I don't want Hallett or Exume trying to figure out how to play DB in the CFL and then covering a punt two minutes later.

I don't know how much you can blame Tabbies...Chapman showed up to CFL combine. That shows interest IMO. Lots of guys don't show, especially guys going for the NFL or who don't want to play at all.

One of the receivers for sure, probably Matthews or Lawler. Can't see Bombers using Jones as dimeback and only having the two rookie kick chasers as backups for the secondary along with Wright who just got here. Hamilton is a heavy passing team, about 65/35 pass run even with Thomas Erlington. Likely more without him. I suspect we will see a lot of downs where the Bombers have the dime in and only 5 guys between DL/WIL/MLB until they get a feel for how Hamilton has game planned offensively (basically how much are they using Kalinic and a back vs Jones/Coombs and a back).

Walker was pretty good on punts IMO...first CFL game too. Smart and could see potential for explosiveness.

Sask and Ottawa are in the same tier. Ottawa's victories came against teams with combined 5 wins. Sask's victories came against teams with combined 1 win. Ottawa is ahead by a nose. With Davis at QB they are better than Sask.

Williams was here with the Bisons before he signed with the Argos, couldn't get eligible. Argos found a loophole that made him a free agent, he enrolled at UBC his first year out of high school so his draft year was 2015 and he went undrafted.

Hall has had a tough time with Masoli. I think the key is to disguise blitzes and provide lots of guys in coverage most of the time, force Masoli to be accurate, don't leave guys covering a whole half of the field allowing Masoli to just chuck the ball up and let his receiver find it.

Dave Ritchie.

Brian Jones is the likely pickup IMO...he's played a couple games already this season for Hamilton so he's in shape, and he's a great special teamer.

Doubt it. Big contract, lack of production. One big game last year otherwise lots of targets and not much production. Think he'd have to have a few good games before he'd be trade bait.

I love the way Hall moves around Gaitor and Hecht. Really puts those guys in a position to succeed and negates Hecht's limited speed. I think they had significantly overestimated Loffler's abilities, and he would have been much better playing more like a Cover 2 safety, shallower and blitzing more like Hecht has been this year.

Doubt we see a ratio change. They have the starters, even if Demski and/or Whitehead are down. Need to scrap heap a NI who can chase kicks and play field WR if someone else goes down. There's quite a few bouncing around. Brian Jones, Vandervoort, Lynch, Stanford (not sure he's any use on teams).

Peters might as well have been in the stands for that play.

That ball was in the air for 5 seconds....if you can't cover that you can't cover anything.

Reilly statued there...had tons of room to step up and out.

Lankford is not bright.

Just about time to send Foucault to the trash heap.

Panel trolling Rod Black.

It's almost a different world though. People who have a cottage now really need to make use of it to justify it because a $120,000 house in 2001 is now $300,000. If you're paying some or all of the bills at both places and making even a slightly above average income you're already basically broke as a family. I think it's more of a factor for people in their 30s and 40s who were in their teens and 20s in 2001. A $600 mortgage payment has basically tripled when you compare Generation X to Millenials, and then like you noted earlier there's been pretty significant inflation on the cost just to get into the stadium....plus the Jets have returned which has taken a big bite out of that sports fan market share.

How exactly does Edmonton end up with nobody on that half of the field when the reverse is going that way? Exceptionally poor reads by multiple players.
