It must kill Henoc Muamba to say nice things about Winnipeg

Yes, he does have a tendency to not be a fan.  You'd think he'd be kinder to the team who gave him his start.

I just see so many plays where the D does not look back and throws up their arms to block the catch.  That isn't allowed either - never mind contact.  Even without contact you can't just throw your arms up to break up the catch, and yet it happens all the time, and is NEVER called anymore.

That used to be PI.  I know I am arguing another only partially related point now, but that one really bothers me.  Not making a play for the ball at all, just watching the receiver and seeing the ball is coming based on their movements to make the catch and then throwing up their arms to block.

Sorry for the long rant.  It's been bothering me for years and this reminded me of it.

Yes... not called anymore. Strange.

So advantage WPG going into the 2nd H.  Even if EDM manages to correct things, which they likely do, their D will be easily gassed if we can get any sort of drives going.

Only up 10, if I'm EDM I'm going full dink & dunk.  They are good at it, why not?  Cody being really impatient?  Their OC will have a talk with him.

Why on earth was Kelly 1-on-1 with people?  He's the bloody FS -- he's supposed to be HELP, not IT!  Make sure there's a real DB on those people!!

[Tecno]

Can't go full-turtle and just run Brady every 1st down.  They've shown they will stop it (our 2-3 last drives of the 1st H!!).  We suck on 2nd & long -- so why volunteer for it??

2nd half will be like a completely different game and will be the defining moment of our season

[Tecno]

GO BLUE!

I dunno, i believe Zach can do it this game. He's looking good. Let's go!

[Blueforlife]

Wilson get erased, followed by a big stop

[tlf]

Nice coverage. keep that up!

[Tecno]

No idea why EDM runs up the B-gap there, when the edge clearly is our kryptonite!  Again, EDM O should read our forum.

BinBC was right, Vaval in.  Who was hurt??

[Blueforlife]

Vaval on D you were right!

[Tecno]

He's falling and has to survive the ground!!  That includes fighting for a tie!  By rule he has to win the tie on the ground!!

Why didn't command pause for a look??

[Jesse]

Vaval definitely in on D.

[VictorRomano]

Clearly didn't focus on tackling again this week in practice.

CBA only allows 1 hour of full contact per week, and only 12 times per year.

Major coverage
