#50 O’Shea

Harris has some pretty public issues with Wally and the Lions as well. I think he’s just more mature now, and maybe if Roberts was playing at 30 he would’ve been too. That said, looking at everything Harris does, maybe Wally should’ve given him more of the load after all.

Yep that’s what I saw too.

Maybe in addition to the GoFundme we could make our voices heard to the commissioner? He seems to like to “do the right thing” when it’s in the public eye...

Our second down conversions ( or lack thereof) and inability to capitalize on amazing field position are reason enough that this wasn’t our best overall game. Maybe best defensive effort, but best overall game is either last week against Ottawa or earlier in the year @ Hamilton.

The effort on the fumble was great, but it would’ve been wiped out by the too many men call against Edmonton anyway.

How about their turf-assisted reception that led directly to a field goal? If that was the difference in the game there’d be hell to pay for those officials.

Agreed that Edmonton’s receivers are stronger this time around, but our secondary has improved tenfold since the announcement that the Roc is done for the season!

We need to pick off some of those 50/50 balls. The score flattered Edmonton last time we played them because, even though guys were in position, we let them catch the big ones. We have a better lineup this week than we did then (in the secondary), but Edmonton also has better receivers this game.

Not sure many Rider fans cared how or why they won the 2007 Grey Cup, just that they won. Hate to say it, but I’d feel the same way

I think Harris/Tate is the best 1/2, they just happen to both be injured...

Both teams can’t win out, they play each other once. So if we win out and Calgary wins all but the game against us, then they get first by one point. So what we need is for one team to beat Calgary, and for us to win all our games. I think that team will be Sask.

I’m not going to cheer for the Riders, but I do want the Stamps to lose. Aside from our game against them, I think this is the last game in their schedule that there’s a chance for them to lose, and if we want first we need to both beat them, and have them lose one other (assuming both they and we win all other games). I don’t see them losing to anyone else, and I want to be number one, no matter how much I hate the Riders. I want to Riders to take them out in the West Semi too, so that they come in here for the final thinking they’re Cup bound and we shatter their dreams.

Darian Durant last week was even worse

Tell that to Jason Maas and Mike Reilly.

You may not believe me since I’m posting this after the game, but I actually picked the Cats and didn’t see it as an upset at all. The Lions look terrible these days and the Cats has a real shot at putting the Sask game into overtime. These days it’s Cal, Wpg, Sask and everyone else. Though I do think Edmonton is due for a resurgence, I just hope it’s in two weeks and not one

I do expect us to win and by a good margin. I do t look to the sins of past teams. That said, one look at our two games against Montreal and our one against BC will tell you that we definitely have played down to our opponent in recent history.

Wasn't 104 what they said sask did as well, or was it lower? I had a feeling TSN might make it a draw to not piss anyone off.

What was the decibel count according to TSN? In stadium the announcer said we reached 109 at one point.

I didn't PVR the game, what was the final verdict? Us or them?

I just hope Mulumba finally ends up here. We NEED a capable middle linebacker and he IS the answer! I wonder if we could get his brother too, I hear he plays safety. I guess the question is: if Mulumba comes to take over the middle linebacker spot, who is the odd man out: Justin Medlock, Paul LaPolice, or Dancing Gabe? I don't envy the coaches on this one...

He's replacing Thorpe. So Denmark, Dressler, Adams, Lankford, Feoli-Gudino (and Harris/Flanders)

We have the best starting field position in the league + the most field goals + the most wins + give up the second-most points. Those four things are very clearly co-related. Lankford stays in. Playing down his importance when we're winning some games by the skin of our teeth on field goals is just silly.

The CFL doesn't have authority to "ok" coaching hires, only players. So despite the "discussions" that the Ticats alluded to, the league and commissioner couldn't actually tell them not to hire him. Today, the commissioner drove to Hamilton and compelled the Ticats not to. So this wasn't a matter of flip-flopping. It is definitely worth commending the league for doing the right thing, especially when, at the end of the day, Hamilton could have still hired him.

I've seen a few folks referring to Austin as the GM. Isn't Eric Tillman the GM? Austin's sole title is now VP of football operations if I'm not mistaken.
