Its been a long time since I felt good after a loss. Might be the liquor and nachos but hell of a game. I called for a pick 6 but we got a fumble td is that a pick up six?

Expand  

Pick up 6.

Not really.  Calgary was using extra blockers routinely, Trestman relied more on the 5 linemen and maybe a back, getting the ball out quick.  BLM was taking his time for the most part.

Expand  

I noticed that too - he was hardly ever forced to throw to his check down.

Prevent defenses prevent wins. Johnson couldn't cover all game.

Expand  

it wasnt prevent defense. soft coverage / too deep zone isnt the same thing as prevent.

Correct defence for the situation, we just didn't do a good job of forcing Mitchell to throw the ball to where we wanted him to.

We miss Ian Wild, without him we have no presence in the middle of the field. Bass doesn't really do much of anything, might as well be starting Hurl for the ratio.

Again, disagree, there's more than one 'correct' way to play certain situations. it comes down to philosophy and style. Not all defensive coordinators are the same. All 'correct' ways can get beat. It's like being up by a goal in hockey. one 'correct' way is to tighten up defensively. another 'correct' way is too keep pressing.

But Johnson had a very poor game and was victimized repeatedly.

You can't say we don't miss Ian Wild, though.

[JCon]

Bombers only need to win one game in Calgary this year and that wasn't it. 

I hope we get another chance because I know we can beat them.

What else Is new? Start Heath if he's healthy.

[Mr Dee]

From what I've read, Heath is only an "l"and a "y" away from being healthy..

After seeing pictures of the fog bowl the Wheaties had tonight, i'm not sure about that.

Expand  

Lol.  That was a first for me, game called due to excess fog on the ice.  Frustrating day for sports in general for me.  That WHL championship banner looks pretty sweet though.

I agree with that, and I believe they will be by the time the playoffs roll around.

I think you guys are pointing fingers in the wrong direction.  That defensive performance falls on the pathetic pass rush more than anything.

When they drop 9 into coverage the onus is on the secondary 

[do or die]

Bottom line......we simply need a better plan and execution on D, next time we play these guys.  

We didn't have a sack or even a hit on BLM.....he probably didn't have to bother to have his uni cleaned after that game.    Considering the amount of dropping back..... coverage was way too soft,..and cost us the game in crunch time.

I think it cost us the win at both ends of the game- in the whole first quarter and in the last couple of minutes.

But that was a play he wasn't allowed to challenge though.

Expand  

That's a shame.  After watching the replay of that catch, Durant certainly didn't look like a guy who was confident the ground didn't help him keep that one in his arms.  I would have liked to have seen the replay from the other side.

Everyone rags on Johnson and I have no idea why - he's giving up roughly 20 yards a game in coverage over the last half of the season. He's hardly a major issue on defense.

Perception or reality, in the last game it sure looked like every time Mitchell needed critical yardage, he victimized Johnson.

Gave up 3 catches for 47 yards.

[bearpants]

No one has really touched on the fumble return TD... Am I the only one who thinks we may have caught a break on that play?... it sure looked to be in and out of the hands of Charbanneau (I think that was the receiver) very quickly... I thought it may have been an incomplete pass... not complaining, just wondering if anyone else thought that too...
