The ugly

Ive left off the good and the bad cause this game was just ugly despite the win
Coaching: how do you throw a deep pass when you need a fg to go ahead with less than 3 minutes, and Brady in your backfield
Zac - looked broken, couldn't make reads
Oline - sask rushed 4 and our 5 guys couldn't block let alone pickup Brooks
Penalties- any decent play was negated by penalties youd see in preseason

The ugliest play tonight was neufeld blocking the defensive tackle while the linebacker blitzed the A gap. Players playing pop Warner football know to block inside out, nope not patty, give em the shortest quickest route to your Qb. That whiff was disgusting. I don't know how Collaros can even huddle with those sad sacks, they're going to get him killed.

was that the play in the 3rd quarter where Zach got completely creamed?

The UR vs misconduct on Neuf to negate the Sterns near-TD was inexcusable. I haven't rewatched yet, so I'm hoping TSN showed it. I hope it wasn't bogus -- I'd rather be able to blame Neuf than the refs. And I have zero doubt SSK wasn't trying to draw URs on purpose, as they always do.

Sterns should have jumped/dove that last 5Y and he'd dodge that shoestring and hit the cone. We should have known our O would botch the gimmee TD.

And the outside run by Strev with 3 guys chasing him immediately was so stupid. SSK had the edge and the gut covered. Should have chucked it or left Zach in. Absolutely horrible playcalling in that situation.

Neuteld took a stupid penalty early when stearns took the ball to the one. Moved it back five yards. No t.d.

One of the plays where Zach got blasted, an o lineman went over to give him a hand to get up (they've had a lot of practice at that) Zach ignored him, declined the offer.

He's got to really be sick of that group. All season long there have been plays where a D player goes unblocked up the middle for a free smash at the QB. Opponents all know that play will be there.

Zach will be sore again this week.

good was BO's post game interview. dude diplomatically was royally ticked off at not touching the ball for 20 minutes.

ugly was MOS interview. after that i do wonder if his time has passed. not disappointed in the offense cause they work so bloody hard but disappointed they didn't see success.

It could have been uglier. Did any of you watch that decision making by Toronto Blue Jay's manager John Schneider to lose them that game.

markf · October 18, 2025, 02:49:24 PM

It's not one thing, it's the whole offence.

O line can run block... but can't pass block

Quarterback ... we can see the problems
Whole offence... penalties, wrecking promising gains.
Receivers... can't block
O coordinator... seems to be unable to run the offence for a complete game. This game started well, then nothing.

Repeatedly calls plays that even I can see haven't worked all season. Gets away from the run.

The ugly...watching Zach get the crap pounded out of him, again,

Good is that the Defence played well.

Re Hogan... OShea went from special teams to head coach, so I can see why he thought this was doable.
I'm sure Hogan knows x and o and works long hours. Not enough it seems.

the BC game... Rourke seemed to be throwing lasers effortlessly, to see this right after watching Zach chuck balls in the general direction of players (ours and theirs) was jarring.

Pigskin · October 18, 2025, 04:11:35 PM

The call on PN53. The Rider player grabs his face mask and pulls him to the ground and then PD53 pancakes him. This should have been off setting penalties. However, if your 1st. and goal on the 6 and can't score, that's ugly.

Wide open receivers and Zach overthrowing them...

I feel sad for Eli, he was wide open and Zach leads him as if he was Wheatfall... but he did lie out for it, again, embarrassing.

I don't blame Brady for being p*ssed off, we all are too!!! How do you put the best runningback in the league on the shelf for 20 minutes and watch your offense struggle play after play on a horrible passing offense. Our offensive line can run block, SO RUN THE FRIGGING BALL you moron!!!! It's not rocket science, its common sense, lost on a guy who shouldn't be anywhere near a headset during the game. He is simply awful, awful.

And you could tell Collaros was p*ssed off as well, so when you have your 2 offensive leaders upset at the way the offense is running, it ain't long before the reason is dealt with. We have 2 more games with Hogan and he's done.

Here's the Neufeld play.

So if you grab the facemask in-whistle it's automatically 15. But dude does it after the whistle and he only gets 10 while Neuf gets 15? Command needs a brain transplant.

Riders do this kind of baiting nonstop every game. Have all year. Especially after a play goes against them, they bait you to recover the yards. This is part of why I hate Mace -- he coaches them to do this. I saw this constantly all game last night.

(Thanks for the clip GBG)

Ya, thought the same thing. A "real" REC and he'd be where the ball arrives... but Eli -- gotta remember his weight!!

Glad he dove for it though, that's more effort than half our REC corps puts in. I want to see more plays to Eli, and Ike. Make the D's cover them.
