Yeah Ottawa is really bad however they have 16 starters on the 6 game injury reserve list!  I think that's unprecedented!   I believe the majority of them are on defence.   Lions playing pitch and catch now.   The thing with Ottawa is that they stay close or even lead until,the 4th quarter where they fall apart.   BC now up 2 scores and over 10 minutes left.....they most likely will pad their lead....Jim Pop has his work cut out for him!

Quote from: Big Daddy on Today at 12:47:41 AMDinwiddie sure seems stubborn.  Interesting stat that all qb's prior to this setting that were 0-10 to start the season won their 11th game.  Not looking good for Ottawa unless they switch it up for 2nd half.

Stegall calling the migration of Kelly to Ottawa for next year is interesting - that could save Dinwiddie and buy him into next season.

Stegall certainly isn't the first to throw that thought out there. Seems inevitable.
My wife is amazing!

Horvath is a beast....127 combined yards rushing and receiving plus two TDs on the ground.  He also is their short yardage QB option.  He's on pace right now to break milt Stegall's record of 23 TDs in a season!  Hes got 3 TDs tonight and they're third and goal at the one and a half....AND.....they're gambling with Horvath lining up as short yardage QB....he now has 4 TDs on the night timing Butlers record of 4 in one game!  I think he gets the game ball!!

Quote from: Lincoln Locomotive on Today at 12:27:06 AMLions will now steamroll them....even after 2 bad picks they're still ahead....Rourke maybe made some mistakes but he more than makes up for them....Ottawa is hopeless taking penalty after penalty and giving Rourke another shot of scoring.  They just had to sub him out for 3 plays so let's see what Salter can do....first down on Salters first play.
Repeatedly taking undisciplined penalties needs to be addressed. The lack of discipline tells me the players have given up, thinking what the heck we're going to lose so I'll take this penalty to get some revenge...ya can't do that. Easier said than done when you're 0-11, but man, they have got to stop doing avoidable things that compromise their chances of winning.

I can easily see that happening. Mike Miller doesn't look like he's a players coach, seems old school and out of touch with this players. Dinwiddie and Kelly were tight in Toronto, and Chad Kelly would turn things around in Ottawa

TSN got that one wrong. Herring & Calvillo ended the season at 0-10.

Quote from: CFL Game Notes0-11 Start – Never Before: A loss to BC would put Jake Maier (0-10) on the wrong side of history as no quarterback has ever lost 11 starts in a row to begin a season. He is the 4th quarterback to start a season 0-10 after George Herring (BC, 1958), Condredge Holloway (TOR, 1981) and Anthony Calvillo (HAM, 1997). Calvillo and Herring both finished 0-10, while Holloway won his next start and
finished the year 2-12.
Fact check: Condredge Holloway went 0-9 and won his next game. He finished the season with a 2-11 record. The CFL is giving Holloway credit for a Dan Manucci start on September 19, 1981.
