We went for several 3rd downs when clearly Lapo/Burke would of cowered and went for the pun/fg.
This team looked WAAAAAAAAY more prepared then anything we saw in the last 3 years.
Very little penalties on our part... guys seemed focus.
Didn't see any stupid Swaggerville like idiot players dancing around or getting over emotional.
Toronto had giant cue cards with Tubas??? We did not...
The team made adjustments after Toronto started coming back.....
Barely any 2 and outs and no designed plays on 2nd and long which were designed to only gain 2 yards....
Huge difference from last year!
Had double the amount of TD's that Goltz had in 2013 in only one game!!
He hit 7 different receivers with most getting 2 catches or more .... looked very slick in the pocket and aside from a few circus catches by Kelly most of his passes were dead on.
Nice quick release... instead of scrambling he kept his eyes down the field.... made very little mistakes....
QB of the future??
21 for 122 yards and also 2 receptions for 17 yards.....
The guy was money all night.... I think Ford is gonzo if Cotton shows anything in the return game when he comes back.
Such a different back and looked good finding holes up the middle and grinding extra yards.
If Lapo coached as dull as he talks on TV I can see why a team could lull themselves to sleep.
I swear the moment RH passed away the whole team simply never ever played with any heart, intensity or passion.
Wow several people in this thread are over reacting way way to much.
Forget not the all mighty Wally Buono brought in Steven Jyles yet he gets a pass.
Bryant isn't that bad and this isn't a huge deal.
What has that got to do with him?
If his name was Edward Byner do you think somebody on here might ask if he was the son of Ernest Byner who used to play for the Browns. Is the fact the guys Dad played in the NFL now unspeakable because of the actions of his Father post retirement?
Well we were kind enough to not ask Chad Simpson about if his dad used to play in the NFL
Based only off the last pre season game BC looked real good. The receivers made all their catches, they have great rbs, Glenn looked comfortable and had time to throw.
The defense has great lbs, good secondary...good returns on special teams.
I also thought Khari called a good game.
I'm thinking BC easily contends. Hell Calgary had there starters in and they looked shaky as hell.
In regards to Ottawa cutting Maher.... maybe they are trying this....

Perhaps Montreal is out of synch because of the Worman firing? Also Troy Smith did not look comfortable at all....he has the tools but as the game went on he looked more and more like McPherson.
The Montreal secondary looked awful, I'm not sure if they were starters or back ups but they were just out of place all night long.
Burris made his receivers look great because he had time to throw (Montreal didn't really blitz him for the most part) and his passes were right on the money.
I'd rather have Willy and the first round pick over Glenn.... it just wouldn't of made sense to give up that pick just to get him. Long term we are better off with two guys who can hopefully play for us in the next 5 seasons.
For BC it was a no brainer... Lulay is done and Glenn will buy them at least two more seasons.
