Kicked twice on 3rd and short.

Is it just my speakers, or is Farhan talking into a Dollarama microphone?

Ham playing with fire with that 2QB package. What's worse than Dane Evans throwing a pick 6? Shiltz registering an incomplete catch on the play too lol

Lucky Whitehead the most overrated player this side of Nic Grigsby.

Nic Grigsby? Show yourself out.

I don’t think he ever broke a single tackle in his whole career as a bomber. For a running back that’s almost impressive in a a bad way.

What the hell is up with the sketchy out music before going to commercials tonight?

[Mr. Perfect]

And the almighty Nathan Rourke throws a pick with a 5 point lead with a minute and a half left in the game lol

[Super Duper Negatron]

Hamilton just brain dead on offense

[Mr. Perfect]

Christ, Evans is awful

Indeed. I'll always remember the 2019 Grey Cup, thinking early that we had them just by his actions alone when we were caving in their offensive tackles pretty much from the start of the game.

You can't feel sorry for a guy like that. He gets paid to win. I've een nothing from Evans to think he's the long term starter for the Ti Cats.

[S]So... Rourke didn't have a banner game against the ticats... I wonder if he's been "figured out"?[/S]

I dont know if figured out is the right term - he's just settling into a much more realistic course as which tends to happen as more games are played. He has six INTs over his last three games including tonight which is pretty much par for the course for a rookie. He has talent, but he's not a mythical great QB like many were making him out to be as recent as the days leading up to our game against them a couple weeks back

He's another deep ball thrower like Reilly was. He's impatient. He's a rookie. He doesn't put together 10 or 12 play drives like ZC or BLM does. As the season goes on, it's not like defenses will figure him out but figure out the deep passing schemes the Lions use.

The first pick was Lucky's fault. The second was partly Rourke not putting enough on the ball, partly a great DB play and partly his receiver falling coming back to the ball. Both throws were on time on target and to an open receiver.

Rourke's the best young QB to come along in a long time, but he's still a young QB who will make mistakes. He didn't have a great game last night, but they still won ugly.

Ottawa 0-6 and overall they are 3-17 with Lapo. Does he last the year?

what are their choices..... fire lapo, and make benavides interim head coach.... season end get new coach from other team assistants.

Maas might get a head coach job.....done pretty well with a useless  quarterback. carried himself well, no outbursts... on a team with a lot of problems.

or sask D coach. they have a decent defence. also seems like a reliable person. dont know.

B.C. D is playing well... maybe their D guy.

or the obvious guy. 😂

LaPo....the third and short kick from the 33.... hard to understand that decision. specially with a struglling kicker.

I think that puts his HC career at a dismal 18-44….

just stick to being an OC!

Loser coaching leads to losses.  Film at 11. And probably half or more of those wins are courtesy of swaggerville.

He has the Masoli excuse which might give him some traction. But Jesus, #1 Adams could have made a play in the end zone in the dying minutes.

Yup - Neither of his INT's against Ham were bad ones.  TBH there should almost be a stat line for INT's caused by receiver drops like the one to Lucky (or our game finisher in Calgary) since those are fundamentally different from an INT where the QB threw the ball to a defender.

The second INT was a sick play from the HAM safety... the other team is playing too.

Yeh Adam's dropping the TD in the endzone to lose the game is rough

Easy to have the QB excuse when you can never develop one.

Lapo is supposed to be an offensive guru, but his teams never score more than average.

Some gameplanning issues there IMO.  Lucky Whitehead isn't a guy to be featured (he's a 3rd-4th option with yes great speed but not much else he does well downfield) and certainly not on a night when he needs to be the primary kick returner too.  They were really force feeding him last night and it nearly cost them the game.  Certainly bogged down the offense, one turnover almost two with the returns.
