I'm sorry, easy answer? Their lack of success with the best player on the planet is a shared responsibility, players, coaches and management. Look at PC's body of work during his tenure here in Oiler land, it needs to be scrutinized just like everyone else involved. No, no, assessing management and their accountability has to be part of this discussion. If Hitchcock and group don't turn this around, I can guess who is next to go and it would be the right one. He's used his last Mulligan.

And/or management isn't assembling the appropriate skill sets needed to support the best player on the planet.

Based on his style to date, not in MOS DNA to do this. He'll anoint MN the starter and say its his to lose.

This I will definitely agree with. I was thinking that a lot watching the game. Wasn't done nearly enough. Get the ball out of his hands Calvillo style.

This is not all on Nichols but often he left early looking a bit panicked and not keeping his poise in the pocket, no easy thing but that's why he is a professional QB. He is not a roll out passer. If in fact the argument to defend Nichols was he wasn't getting the necessary protection (which I disagree with), then we needed to put in Streveler who is a more mobile QB. Then that's on our HC.

His pocket presence hurt us. That influenced whether his receivers were open or not. At the end of the day their five best players did more than our five best players. As a continueing lifelong Bomber fan I'm getting less and less intense about our drought in not winning a championship which is not a good thing, its turning into apathy. I think that some Bomber players may not fully appreciate that as they have had a fairly short period of time being part of this organization.

MOS needed to call a challenge on the Sayles pi

What was Fogg doing on that coverage?

Nichols getting flushed out of the pocket way too easy. First hint of pressure he bails.

I know I'm being hard on Loffler but he's consistently too late to the game.

Great call, try to aim it in instead of pitch and catch.

Still seems just a half a beat to slow.

Bad call but Loffler needs to be more ball aware. If he did his game would open up.

What say you DD? All calls to MOS?

Get Demski and Dressler more involved. Mix in Streveler a bit more. Move Loffler in, tell him to stop looking for the big hit and make a play on the ball.

What is he 11 years old? Is his mom there to comfort him with all those penalties going against his team?

'Why are all the penalties going to MOS!' Dave Dickenson. What a Chris Jones.

Nope. Stupid question.

My D bias but why don't offensive players get more face mask calls on straight arm moves? Sheesh.

If their going to call that they are going to have to call offensive players leading with their helmets.

Who is the Cats back-up not like he will ever see the field barring injury?

Queue the comeback?

Wow. Give that ball to Rose.

What a buffoon he just gave Hamilton life. They way he walked off the field was embarrassing.

I'm a fan of Masoli but boy he can drive you crazy with his play. And just as I watch this Rose you big idiot.
