Some interesting even encouraging game stats ...

[IC Khari]

- Willy passed for more yards than Tate (28) and Mitchell (76) combined 172, although to be fair, he had a bit more playing time. It would have been more except for about three or four glaring drops. 

- Cotton ran for more yards than Cornish 58 to 52

- Denmark and Johnson had more yards than the top two Calgary receivers

- Renaud out punted Maver 49.3 to 39.8

- Our FG kickers were 4/4 combined compared to Calgary's 3/4

- We still lost, but when was the last time we led in any of these categories against the Stamps in Calgary?

Jury's out on the defense. I'll give them 4 or 5 games before I start calling for Etch's head. Reason to be optimistic BUT.... when the Stamps #1 team played our #1 team I think they dominated so we'll see. If so, doesn't bode well. But it's a long 18 game season. Lots can happen.

[Brandon]

193 yards rushing against us......

[Mr. Perfect]

At the end of the day people need to remember this team won three games last year. There is a lot of work to be done and while overall we are better (and will continue to get better) there are still going to be a few more ugly nights along the way.

We won the time of possession battle (35 and change to 24 and change), we only took 3 penalties, we had nearly 300 passing yards, we won the yardage battle overall, we broke 100 yards rushing and we lost on a last second field goal.

On top of that, can someone point out a blatant mistake made by anyone who is actually going to see major playing time?

I saw big mistakes by Kemp, Howard, Barnes and Peterson.

I saw lots to be positive about and lots worth being optimistic about. I saw bad things too and there are still questions but it's comical that people are reacting as if this was 52-0 all over again.

Tons of positives from this game. Need to tighten up the run defense and the return coverage on special teams and we're good to go!

The one thing that worries me about our starters is the starting OL giving up 3 sacks in the first half. That's not good.

A new OL takes a few weeks to gel. Wylie will hopefully speed up that process. I'm quite optimistic about the OL this season.

[rebusrankin]

Drew Wiley looks like an actual starting QB, that alone is a huge improvement.

[sweep the leg]

I was very impressed with Willy. He's been better than I was expecting. Add Watson & Moore to that receiving corp & I think we've got ourselves a competent offense for the first time in years.

Maybe it's just me but Chris Greaves seemed to really struggle in the first half among the regular starters offensively.

It's not just you. I thought that too, but nobody else was mentioning it so I assumed I was wrong.

Denmark also dropped a catchable ball in the end zone.

[ThePokeys]

One thing I noticed about Jaymar Johnson is how polished he is as a WR. I hope hes able to crack the roster.

[gbill2004]

Jaymar Johnson reminds me of Wallace Miles.

[Floyd]

Jaymar Johnson reminds me of Adarius Bowman.

[Brandon]

Wasn't jaymar the receiver who sucked bawls in the first pre season game

... and dropped balls as well ... he was much improved last night however. Good on him!
