I knew the Riders weren't that good. Couldn't close the deal and wouldn't have closed the deal against us last week either if the refs hadn't helped them.

Yes but they couldn't stop the run in the first half.

Exceptional adjustments by Mtl D

Cream of the crop

Thank you Montreal.

Quote from: GOLDMEMBER on July 26, 2024, 12:28:48 AMAls D looks like they went and got loaded last night.

(I'm only at halftime)

SSK OC is being very, very smart. They planned around the strengths of the MTL D. (Man I wish we'd do that! If we had done that, we'd have 1 more cup.)

SSK completely negates the mega-strong DBs and FS of MTL by basically not passing anything beyond 15Y.

It's now clear why Dequoy is so good at ball-hawking and always in the picture: he is basically forbidden from coming up in run support. He's always deep, always looking for the pass. He's the anti-Alexander37.

I'll see how they adjust in the 2nd H (and you guys have already seen!). I would think MTL will have to start playing way tighter to the line and leaving the deep threats more open.

hickson One hundred yards first half... montreal absolutely flat.

so sask stops running.

why do some of these cfl coaches try to be smartest?

just keep doing what is working till it stops working.

dont try to show everyone how much of a chess player you are.

credit to maas for the qb switch.

Quote from: Pete on July 26, 2024, 12:46:35 AMIt feels like sask had seen something in mtrls kicking game, they\ve been coming after them all nite

The failure of MTL ST to deal with the kick-rush is pathetic. You are right: every punt a guy is close. And the blocked FG... shades of '22 GC (flashbacks!).

we have a bit of this on the Bombers. (Grey cup, red zone, put in prukop?)

Yeah I don't know why they went away from the run, that was a strategic failure for them . Several 2 and outs allowed Montreal get back into the game and win it, run the ball, chew up the clock, win TOP, win the game....it's not that hard!!

Quote from: dd on July 26, 2024, 01:10:06 AMEvans is where he belongs, on the bench

I don't know... he worked with the #1 teams for over a week. The only thing I didn't like in H1 is his fumble and his strange ability to go backwards to take a sack instead of trying to go forwards to get some yards.

If Caleb stays out for the rest of the game and the new guy saves them, it may finally be the end of "potential #1 QB" opportunities for Caleb. He'll then have to be relegated to being a Prukop / Dom Davis -- SY only.

He did suck bad in OTT, so I'm not too surprised he's sucking here.

Quote from: ichabod_crane on July 26, 2024, 12:07:37 AMI keep hearing "HORSESHACK" instead of KORSAK the Sask punter! This will only make sense for any WELCOME BACK KOTTER tv show fans from the 70's! HEY MR KOTTEERRRRR! Where John Travolta sort of started his acting career as one of the "sweat hogs" before Saturday Night Fever and GREASE!

Yes, sadly Horshack passed away a few years ago.

Great game. 2 quality teams gutting it out right to the end. Home field was a factor. Sasks heavy sized d-line was redline intensity in the first half and covering a lot of territory. I think that caught up to them later on the game. Using a big guy like Lanier on special teams is a little questionable imo. Wore him out.

He's had good games here and there. But not enough of them.
