Oooh ... Jackson scores. Ouch. We made a belated, too low offer to him. Ottawa got him.
I had some doubts about Rick Campbell. Not anymore.
(I like the Canadian Tire ad. LOL Be nice to hit that guy with some water bombs.)
Message to Mark Washington. Playing it safe will not cut it in this league. Throw off the restraints.
Ottawa got some breaks. But the better team makes the breaks.
Chris R covers ground, something JRLaRose just could not do.
Lulay misfiring a lot. To be expected.
I am not particularly disappointed. Realistic expectations. Many changes.
Chalk it up as a loss.
O Line needs much work. Harris stuffed way behind the line on the key short play of the game.
Welcome to the CFL, Jeff Tedford. As noted in other threads, there are many outstanding coaches throughout the league. That is my greatest concern. No easy wins. At least we have coaches that can compete in the Xs and Os game now.
Not time to look for the high cliff. That is for the Riderfans website.
My sentiments as well. I didn't expect Tedford to be purrfect this game and I'm not sold on his OFF play calling technique as the edge to the D is too great.
Burris had no trouble with a huddle and the Lions were caught more off guard.
It seems with BC nothing changes with predictability as we give it away with ego arm waving that drives me crazy when the one guy on the field with a receiver in his helmet is all that is needed for 98% of the play calls with the others you can script and signal.
I'm not surprised by the result. Not too disappointed as you want to set the bar with a team and go from there.
The mess up on the clock to give OTT a FG in the first half was brutal. Late in the game maybe a fake by Jennings not a TO might just have worked some magic back in. OFF packages won't work for a season. That will give us a ton of L's when the season gets tough.
Anyone thinking the crossover to the EAST is a way to the GC this year could be in a nasty surprise.
If the MTL QB continues as he played yesterday the East will be tough.
