Pull on your extra annoying horns people. :P
RBs playing for pride and next year.
Pretty tough to pick the RBs when they look discombobulated on every side of the ball.
Dyce?s death stare is perfected now.
Not much going on in this game so far.
Nice TD shot to Phipot.
Was the pick on a Cody a bad throw or a good play by the D?
Weird taking the 3 there
How did we ever lose to Ottawa. My God there bad team.
Global kicker the star of the game...
OK, maybe not... he did score more than OTT did...

Ok, so it's not just me.
We didn't know how to deal with Crum (who was new at the time). Now teams know how to defend again him.

Yup
RBs are pathetic. Unfortunately for there fans. Just bad. Bad players. Bad coaching. Good fans.
I feel bad for Dyce but he doesn't look like HC material. The RedBlacks have some strong talent but no leadership.

It all comes down to the fact that they don?t have a QB. The best coach in the world will look like crap without a QB and good QBs will hide bad coaching.

So what's the plan, do they roll with Masoli again next year?

They gotta exhaust every option. I guess it depends on who's in charge next year.
I certainly wouldn't go into the year with Masoli as my only option.

I think they got to move on and find a legit #1 via free agency. Masoli is too risky?repeated injuries and age take their toll, given Ottawa s recent hardship /struggle, they have to find a legit head coach and then a legit Qb

Bob Dyce has only been HC for 1 full year, I expect he has another year left on his contract, so his record next season will probably determine his fate. Crum has improved his passing game throughout the season, they'll keep him and Tyrie Adams around but move on from Arbuckle.

The players aren't too bad. Though I do wonder where all the SMS went. Did they save megatons of $$ they can sign guys at the end of this season to prep for next season?
Remember, Masoli was supposed to be the guy. He got to play just a few snaps. Masoli is a very very good QB who almost beat us in the GC. Lost by the fingernail of our Nichols. OTT would have had a vastly different outcome had Masoli not been a walking injury factory.

Didn't want to be shutout. It's a pride thing; I get it. Losing in a blowout is somewhat common in the CFL. Getting shutout is just plain embarrassing.

I'm not sure Masoli will bother rehabbing to risk it all again. Though his family and friends said he never gives up, so you never know. He is getting old.
If OTT has nothing else in the hopper for QB, then why not sign Masoli to a friendly contract with heavy incentives? Crum isn't going to be winning them much.
If Masoli wants to play, but OTT doesn't bite, then I'd expect him to be a very good backup somewhere. Since more than half the teams lose their star QB every year now, having a GC-contending backup QB would be very valuable, if you can afford it. Or he could stay ready and on the couch and wait for the first desperate team to lose their starting QB and then ask the world$$.

Masoli, Desjarlais, Mauldin, Laing and Acklin are probably their biggest contracts, they are another team with a huge 6-game IR, 15 players at last count, including Desjarlais.
No adverse to Bobby Dyce coming home as our STC...
