The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Jesse · June 06, 2026, 04:20:48 AM

Good:

- Jake Ceresna 3 sacks
- Willie got one too!
- Brady was great rushing and receiving
- Vaval is still crushing it
- OL really tightened up in the 2nd half. I think they are going to be really good.
- Zach targeted 9 different receivers. Completions to 7 of them.
- half time adjustments
- Castillo to win the game
- Brady leads the league in rushing: 113 to Mills' 112

Bad:

- first half rush defence
- slow start for pass blocking
- some growing pains for the passing attack in general in the first half
- listening to the post game show, the wind played a big factor

Ugly:

- 104 yard TD drive in the 4th quarter to lose the lead (temporarily).

Good
Ceresna
Willie
White

Bad
OL early on
Drops by Nield and Corcoran

Ugly
Front 7 outside of Ceresna and Willie
Playcalling on that last Calgary drive. I get wanting to give a cushion on second and long, but if they're a yard or yard and a half short, it's pretty close to a given.

I would add to bad. The amount of empty seats.

BlueInCgy · June 06, 2026, 04:46:01 AM

Good

Ceresna. And I don't think Good covers it.
Perkins reminded me of good Dan Lefevour
While there was not much great to praise, ZC had a solid game manager game
Brady looked in top form
Vaval
Willie had a solid game
Besides the drop Nield had a solid game
Receiving corp in general had a very solid utilitarian game

Bad

First half defence in general, run defence specifically
Overall containment on VA was poor

Ugly

Can't stop a 106 yard drive
TSNs feed was spotty
For the love of gawd can Suitor go away

CFL clearly doesn't care about butts in seats. Every move made has been about the TV audience.

Not that it's an excuse, but we've had torrential rain all week and the forecast for tonight wasn't great.

I like that line, I hope Zach realizes he does not have the right receivers to compete for jump balls anymore, the 3 main dudes are undersized and under muscled for brawling. What they are very good at is getting opened, if he can concentrate on throwing the right pass at the right time and give up throwing into coverage it looks like he should be able to turn his downturn in effectiveness around this season. If that turns him from a gunslinger into a game manager, so be it, he'll win more games using his brain than with his brawn.

Hard to tell, but I think the new centre was good, and saw Daniels mixing it up on some running plays..lthere was actual success running outside,

Not a lot of penalties.

Seemed well reffed. Although on a pi called on the bombers I thought the Calgary receiver pushed the db.

First two games were exciting.

It's always good to see Dave Dickensen lose.

Great win.

Yep Elsbury looked good in pass protection and he's young and huge, saw a bit of Eli as 6th man so don't think he's really hurt, probably lost his job to a bigger player. O'Shea mentioned prior to the game how he loved the size of the O-line.

Well Suitor thinks Jefferson can get 22 sacks this season to get to 100. So give him at least that much

Talk about a jinx.

I'd take Rod Black over Suitor.

Or a randomly selected person from 7 11. Customer or staff.

That's a step too far for me. As annoying as Suitor is, Rod Black would not be an upgrade.

I agree on the Ugly Suiter...

Suitor...."he plays like he is a tight end" that was one of my favorites from last night.....Well no poop he played TE, was drafted as a TE, listed as a TE on the depth chart and lined up as a TE.......

TSN also had ugly sound issues....

While we have lot's to clean up, the good is 1-0....

Surprised with how much playing time Daniels received, he was out there every series and may have played more snaps than MCI, Corcoran and Cobb. Looks like he's going to be a huge part of the offensive game plan, stoked to see the TE position make a comeback, the last one I can recall was Brian Jack.
