Booch

They didnt and cant handle our run..or oline ..we had 186 on ground in game with augustine in for Harris...195 on ground in banjo bowl..and 116 in final game where we only ran it 21 times..that of the piss poor game plan we employed that game So we ran for 497 yards in 3 games..and see more of the same in WF..especially now they have to respect the pass I wouldn't be surprised to see close to 200 on ground..if not eclipsing 200

Yeah..I see Willy feasting on that Oline...almost sense a no doubter victory...

Will have to thank Rod for giving Zack even more incentive and fire to rip them a new one..u can already tell he is motivated to stick it to him when he is biting his tongue not really commenting on it..cant wait to watch it unfold

The basic essence of offensive play calling and scheming since the beginning of time

Fear is setting in nicely

This was playoff prep weeks leading into the playoffs..and smart coaches wont show full arsenal until Crunch We've been sitting on this and running ot in practice for weeks now..a lot of the last few close workouts were reps for playoff schemes..and the last couple were fine tuning it...it wasnt implemented this week..or a big "adjustment" at the half like some think..u dont roll out a flawless overhaul in 6 days with no hiccups It was pre planned for yesterday and these next 2 weeks..and I'll bet you Sask is gonna see some additional tweaks as well and its gonna be a sack fest with multiple turn overs

He surpassed the Fever last yr

He isnt just a runner..he is a great running QB who is young and learning defences...as he only has after this year 3 years experience as an actual high level starter as a qb He passed for over 4100 yards and over 30 tds in his senior year..that's not what running qbs do... Fajardo on other hand never eclipsed 2800 yards in college or 20 tds..and was a definitive prototypical running qb..and was solely that for his first 3 years in canada leading up to this yr..his reason for more success throwing over Strev at this point is experience in the league..and CFL defences..given strev now has 2 years..and more actual starting experience under his belt than your average backup he will continue to progress..he has this year already significantly..he has a better arm..is a better runner..and has a better "it" factor..and it finally dawned on me who he throws like when I was away in cali and seen players up close and its Phillip Rivers..and he has done just fine..and that throwing motion is less likely to have shoulder issues..as shown by his relatively healthy career

Get

U didnt see last years?

In Winnipeg we beat them..soundly..in regina they won..yes the record says so..but

Dont then...And i wouldn't say they "beat" us twice...

Sask matched up wayyyy better against CGY and am pretty sure they wanted to face them in the WF and did not wanna face WPG Well worst case scenario has happened for them..this is not what they wanted regardless what that inept fanbase claims Only reason they chirped they wanted bombers is the delusions of grandeur they would knock us out of the Grey Cup and that wont be happening

In football a lot of times miscues and mistakes are direct result of scheme faced...wrong route on several throws were due to bomber coverage being different after snap from what they showed pre snap..and did all year causing CGY confusion and not allowing receiver to be were they wanted to be..and db's being in spots post snap were they normally wouldn't have been..hence the 3 pics..plus we dropped a couple too..

Fartado led league in passing (yards only) only because he was able to play pretty much the whole season..took over after first drive in game one and sat out only last game of year. Was 6th in TD passes and the 7th and 8th guys (nichols and Harris) were 2 and 3 tds behind him and they missed a lot of games Hardly a QB to strike fear into defenses with his arm in the best of conditions..and 100 percent healthy which he isnt...we play a clean game and control the lines like we did basically all yr against them..we win easily

The game was a combination of better coaching...players out performing others..and new schemes on both sides of ball to confuse CGY..basically playoff mode ball by well prepped team. BLM was piss poor solely due to what he was seeing..and wasnt comfortable save for the first drive all game. On offense the second half "adjustment" was just a continuation of what was game planned from the start...they felt them out..and like Collaros said in the presser got CGY to reveal how they were gonna roll on defense all day and they exploited it..with pre-planned scheme. I guarantee you as well we got a dose of Streveler light in first half to give full dose in second half to wear down and hammer it home as it got colder and players got more tired and to preserve him for crunch time and grind out the game..and it worked flawlessly...well done coaching staff and well done team for executing it...plain and simple that's what happened.

Truthfully we could..and should have won all 3 against the riders..and were missing key peices in some regard in all games (Harris..Nichols..Alexander.) and played them basically when we were in our funk. We now have legit QB play to worry about coupled with our triple headed running threat..solidified the backend with Taylor and Maston and replaced Hecht with Alexander and are basically healthy..I see no reason we lose other than the divine intervention of some piss poor one sided referreing..

Now there is the distinct possibility ol crafty Richie Hall has flipped the switch and changed up the defensive philosophy for the playoffs..and if so kudos to him and can guarantee you on the closed practices we have been running it a lot so will be well versed in it. If BLM couldn't figure it out, there is no way in Regina (hell) Fartado can..if he is even playing or healthy enough to make any impact. Can just see it now about Rider fans whining about losing again cause they had to play backup QB and the irony of it will be they lost to a combination of our backup and a guy they tossed away and didnt give a chance again to because they got enamoured with Fartados mediocrity and flash in a pan play..he is in no way shape or form top tier starter material over the long term

Hence why he made it out as the West nominee for MODP and not Hughes..the one trick pony who fades out...Jefferson is the more complete player and does things that be benefits the defense in multiple ways

We are peaking at right time..and regardless of if Fartado is hurt or not. He hasnt really did squat against us this yr..or any good defence for that matter..this cgy game was gonna be our toughest portion of the playoffs I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar type large margin of victory against the riders

Probably was his swan song this yr. Cant see him back anywhere next yr

Ahh...sometimes life gets in the way..work..in Cali doin stuff fir a bit had no time to post.. back now tho

If in the West Khari would not be in playoffs at moment or hosting a play-off game...also if it was just one division, again he would be on the outside looking in..sure he did a decent job there but Montreal is steps behind where Winnipeg is at..and that team truth be told had the right pieces already there actually just a putz leading them. I personally don't even factor in the first 2 and a bit season's here for this regime, and to lump that into success/failure rate of them is pointless...They inherited a right mess, and not just with on-field product/coaching...but over the last 3 years plus this one, have won a lot of games, and have made this Organization successful on all fronts, and a place guys want to be. Play-offs 9 times out of 10 is a crap shoot and basically a situation where the hot team coming in, or the lucky/opportunistic ones win...look how many times the West dominates all year only to loose to the hot hand coming out of the East..players play, and the in game moments/conditions/situations/flow determine who wins, not who is wearing the HC Headset. That being said that coach needs to see when he needs to make changes with offensive or defensive philosophies and when to play the meanie and make the tough decisins based on staff/personel...Osh has advanced in that regard bigtime from when he started and you can see on his face and his manerisms in some games this year that he is fed up with certain aspects and if he is back regardless of how this season ends that there will be change...you have to evolve, or you die..He's not and idiot...stubborn and loyal but not an idiot..Same can be said even more strongly with Miller...if he thiks enough is enough he is the kind of guy who will clean house if he sees the need

for sure 100%....we can't sit and stand pat, have to improve whatever way we can, and even if we win the Cup with Streveler a lot of it would be to do with great defense, some luck and quite likely Strev playing over his head and doing it on the ground, moreso than finally having it all click. I want to see him back, but not as the defacto starter, but earn it with his play in camp and showing more progression...which I am certain he will. I think rolling with him as your cemented number 1 going into camp can go really well as he has realized that potential, or it will be a season of highs and lows...more highs than lows and still successful but lots of growing pains...but by years end in that scenario he may have become seasoned and a legit number 1 too...be very interesting off-season and the last 2 games this year and whatever happens in play-offs will be big factors in it

Have to disagree there..Moon was barely a 50% passer his first 3 years with 54.7% being his best year...double digit INT's 2 of 3 years as well...Clements as well his first 2 years was a under 60% as a passer...threw INT's in the teens his first 4 years..never eclipsed 2900 yards his first 5 seasoned and that was playing 16 games as well, Flutie came into league with 5 years of pro experience with USFL and NFL so can hardly even put him in that conversation...Reilly had 2 seasons in league backing up before he became a starter with middling numbers and save for a last chance pre-seaso game was almost cut..Bo levi was a 3rd stringer for his first year and a half before he got his chance to start....learning this game and the position. So looking back none of the mentioned other than Ricky Ray came in with zero experience as a pro and was thrust into a starter role and took off with their feet running...especially with only 2 years experience at the college level prior to turning pro..so his learning curve is waaayyyy bigger than the norm and his advancement is rather spectacular when you look at it all things considered, especially with pressures of a team on a 29 yr drought and in a bigtime playoff battle Reilly...Bo..all served several years as a back-up and Clements and Moon didn't light the world on fire until 3-4 years into their starting career
