Demski had moments, as did ZC when he had time, but also some **** moments (ND dropping a wide open easy catch)...

I liked Bonds/Bridges on one side, once Nichols comes back we might be on to something. Bighill and Wilson were uninspiring but ultimately I don't think they are the problem. Kramdi/Holm/BA are suspect on the back end. And the DL is getting very little pressure. The DL, I think, is the core issue.

On offence it's actually not that bad. I liked the way it looked, I liked the way they used Streveler, but they just didn't execute on a couple key plays. Woli is leading by example the way a veteran player should. I thought this was probably Lofton's best game, and the OL in general looked competent.

But they're just a day late, a dollar short when it matters.

.........o and 3 ain't looking good and unless we can shore up the D we are headed for the basement.....oh wait a minute ...we are there already............................................

[Mark H.]

The D has had problems in key situations...for quite some time...

[JohnnyAbonny]

Good 

1. Andre Proulx for being the most entertaining official in the history of pro sports. 
2. Demski, the only veteran worth his pay tonight. 
3. Fayed. He’s a keeper. 
 

HH. Hubert. Late round Canadian playing above and beyond any expectation. 
 

Bad

1. Younger. This **** ain’t working. 

2. Bighill. Love him, totally respect everything he’s done for this organization. Totally finished as a player. 

3. MOS. We’ve all said it and read it. This is really bad. 
 

Crappy Honker- TSN ignoring an injury to a league superstar to talk about what number Keric Wheatfall likes.

Not a one. Best players on D tonight were Bonds, Hubert and Fayed.

I love how AP always seems irritated and would rather be somewhere else than officiating a game. Classic. He is fun to watch and listen to. I literally thought he was going to swear something in French at the time keepers today. lol.

[Goalie]

1. Strev - brought the fire and the emotion that this team seriously lacks. It’s contagious stuff. Ask 

2.Woli - brought it for sure. 
 

3. Hubert and Fayad. Both looked solid. 
 

HH Castillo. 
 

BA Biggie Willy look done. Thomas is beyond done. Time to make a statement and release a Vet or 2. 

[Noeller]

At this point I just feel sad for BA... I absolutely loved that guy in his prime. He's roasted and toasted.

Right? I’ve seen him straight up mean mug the QB while calling Intentional Grounding. 
 

Also this,

Proulx is my favourite CFL official by far. Love that guy.....

[do or die]

1.  Well deserved tribute for Andrew Harris 

2.Wol 

3. Home team timekeeper...

 

Bad

Not ready out of the gate again

Injuries

Questionable on field game calls

No pass rush

I’ve watched stinker games with other teams, simply because he was the ref 

[Goalie]

Wasn’t a fan of proulx at first, but he’s grown on me lots.

The O vets showed up , mostly, for sure.

For sure. I have a hard time faulting Demski after two incredible catches in the last two weeks, but that wide open drop is almost unforgivable... Woof. 

[Mike]

Shoutout to Brandon Alexander for being the one guy who can make me forget how horrendous Adam Bighill is

 

At this point in his career, BA is too stiff to be called a pylon. Good thing he was able to participate in training camp so we could find that out before games mattered

[do or die]

2 weeks in a row.....the plays not made in crunchtime.  Which used to be a hallmark of this team....

To soften the blow, add JT, BA and AB to the coaching squad and package their cuts as ‘transition’.

I don’t get how mo leggett got discarded soo quick after his injury but ba have multiple keeps getting run out. He can’t play any more, and can’t even make the right decisions. Don’t get it.

Tbh the way they are playing with a lack of any heart or desire I wouldn’t take em on the staff either. I love the legacy of biggie and ba here, but they’re ruining it. I’d rather see a couple years of separation first.

If it gets them off the field, I think that’s the price we need to pay.

That's pretty fair. I think our LB is a problem but they're not the biggest. Dline has to play better. 

Not sure why buck refused to get Streveler involved when he was on the field running routes over and over. Change it up. Maybe I'm missing something on that?
