hogan shouldt have been hired

Hogan least of our worries imo
He will improve and learn
No OC would kill it off the hop imo

Season is toast. Wont even make the playoffs. What a disaster.

Younger defence: Bend, break, take a penalty or just not bother sticking close to a receiver. Couldn't stop the run and gave the QB to long to throw.

Our receivers as a group are not good enough.

Play calling on both sides of the ball not great.

Quote from: Blue In BC on August 10, 2025, 01:55:03 AMWhy? We gave up 2 points on K/O's and lost by a point?

Because he kept going on and one about it on a windy day

On the bright side, we held up pretty good against the #1 team in the league (standings notwithstanding), with almost their full healthy team.

Who would have thought right after losing to CGY twice that we'd lose by 1 point in the 3rd game?

If no VAJ, we win this game easily. But we got unlucky and they got VAJ back.

Zach taking the last 2 sacks was just more symptom of the entire team NOT BEING BOLD. Be bold and win the game. Go for it on 3rd. D wasn't stopping anyone, I would have bet $1M on it if I could have. Maybe Parades misses, but VAJ was going to get that 25Y to get in range.

You love to argue over nothing for no reason

Dude, crowds cheer na na na to taunt the losing team off the field.

No so far he hasn't, positive attitude only goes so far when reality is right in front of you. That said, our offensive talent is not good enough.

Which was a giant error on Castillo's part. It gave them better field position and all they needed was the FG. Winning by 1 point or 2 points is still a win.

I thought we played as good as we could but just came up short

Dempsey and Oliveira couldn't have done any more than they did in the first half, but pretty quiet second half.

Vavol hero last week, the goat this week. Those two singles on the kickoff really hurt us, as peredes would have kicked his last field goal to tie the game and put it to overtime versus win the game. Sometimes it's a small thing in the game that really cost you.

Yeah fire and new OC at 4 and 4
Terrible idea
You always talk like your opinion is reality, when its just your take

We should have easily won that game VAJ or no VAJ.

The offence was completely shut down in the second half and we don't seem to have any situational awareness when making play calls. Dug our own grave and it had nothing to do with VAJ.
