DR. CFL

Was Jim Kelly of the a Buffalo Bills immortalized for his win/ loss record or his failed Super Bowl appearances? Regardless of the position or the sport I want a player on my team that has demonstrated he can win in the BIG game.

Given the fact that football is a true TEAM sport.....QB is only one part of that winning equation. My reference wasn’t solely on the QB position it was meant as a reflection on an organization and their success.

Wins/ Loss records are great reading in stats books....I’m more concerned about playoff wins and Cup wins....that is the true measuring stick.

And to think it only took 14 games to figure out Hecht was brutal back there? Tell MOS we didn’t need to watch the video...it was evident watching the games on the tube.

The primary responsibility of the safety to be as deep as the deepest receiver. Hecht screwed up. Unless you try and hide him and blitz him and then play cover zero......you are playing cover zero even when you don’t blitz him.

The difference is he gets paid to do it......fans are fans....they pay to do it.

He is an analyst.....not a fan. You don’t think he is entitled to his opinion?

Interesting NFL stat......teams scoring less than 20 points are 28-186. And that’s in a league with lower scoring than rather CFL. So 13 points on Friday night likely wouldn’t have got the Bombers a win in the NFL either.

I watched an offence score 6 points in about 55 minutes of playing time. Hall needs to ask Santa for a safety, players that can wrap up and not arm tackle and send someone to the North Pole to find Bighill. Repeat and rinse there is blame to sprinkle across the entire staff.

So let’s see Hall gets the blame for having to play a safety that isn’t worth a lick? Gets blamed for Rious who can’t cover or tackle. Gets blamed when Bighill becomes Big Invisible? When the defence caused a massive number of turnovers and scored points and actually won some games he was a hero. The offence repeatedly plays 30 minutes of football and goes night night in the second half and LaPo is still here? There is enough blame to spread around on this peanut butter sandwich.

I can’t see Claybrooks getting gunned after one year. Then Hervey would have to admit he made a mistake right out of the blocks. This is the brother-in-law organization. Nobody got hired that was going to challenge the next guy in the pecking order. Miller hires Walters, Walters hires his buddy MOS, who hires Coordinators that he feels safe with. Then a host of less than experienced assistant coaches. Connect the dots and this is where we are at.

I If this keeps up you might need hip waiters at the chopping block....it might be a blood bath. Going to be tough to sell the “ we need to be patient”. My patience..is on life support.

Sadly those pages have been turned. That being said then there was a failure to find adequate replacements...yet people continually think that Hall is to blame. He is given what he is given to use....you can’t make steak out of chicken sh....t.

While I agree on your assessment of the lack of safety help....Loffler was perhaps a better version of Hecht, his ability to cover was marginal.

Excellent assessment. Hecht got turned inside out on way deep play, he was way to shallow on another deep play. Attempting to cover his inability to cover is blitzing him which only is a trigger to a QB that can read cover zero. Rious...one can’t cover and two can’t tackle....put he was not alone in attempted arm tackles. Has anyone issued an amber alert for Bighill? Apart from his gimme interception he was virtually invisible. MOS saying the DBs played to far off the LOS....I guess that was to protect against the deep ball....opps. Never mind the LOS being owned by Hamilton on both sides of the ball. Ironic when you know Hamilton has no run game.

Forgive I should have indicated in my post a viable back up with some level of CFL experience. Hoping that McGuire is the next man up....when a number 2 QB is one play away from starting is not a plan.

Lack of patience.....this is now what the 5 th year of the patient plan.....l

Who now becomes the viable backup? All well and good when there was some believe that Nichols would be back but now what?

What makes people thing LaPolice will ever succeed as an HC.? Questionable as a OC and previous failure as an HC. Is this another example of give someone a recommendation so you can get rid of him?

That analysis illustrates that they don’t go down field enough to force the defence to back off and create openings especially in the intermediate area.

Hall has to blitz Hecht because he knows he can’t play safety worth a hoot.

Interesting...you said that the O and D were ghosts in the 2nd...very true and if a Hall D won’t win a Cup....what is left to be say of the prospects on LaPo’s O winning one?

Hecht....like is predecessor at safety simply have no cover skills and concept of pursuit angles or the ability to see the field. So the solution for their limited skills is to repeatedly blitz them and play cover zero. The end result of that is if you get no real pressure on the QB you have a defence that is then exposed to the big play. We again witnessed the result. So who is to blame the DC who has a safety that can’t cover or those responsible for having the poor player in the line up? Teams will continue to exploit it by playing max protection for the QB to protect against the blitz or go after him when he can’t play in coverage.

Fumble...recovered short of the first down. Turnover on downs.

Amen
