REDBLACKS at Argos GDT Sat 200PM CT

A) I would hope that the Injury Spotter (separate from the Command Centre) would remove any QB, including Collaros, if he took a blow to the head.

But they usually don't.  I'm not sure it's ever happened in a playoff for a QB (maybe once?)?  And there have been plenty of head hits.

One would hope they'd wait for "signs" instead of just saying "big head hit, take 'em out".  They should require some woozy walking, KO on the field, wild eyes, etc.

It's a playoff.  You have to be very careful before destroying a team's chances just because there's a head hit.  TOR got lucky Arbuckle was "just good enough", and TOR had a strong run game to fall back on.  Imagine if that was on a critical drive in the 4th?  Yowzers.

If any head hit results in a yank, you can bet SSK will be gunning for Zach's head!  15Y be darned, it'll be worth it to them.  Paging Mr. Brown...

B) After Kelly's (post game) self diagnosis of a concussion in the 2023 playoffs, I wouldn't be surprised if the Injury Spotter wasn't extra careful with him this year.

LOL.  Karma

Brown had a great game. He threw for 476 yards against a great Toronto defence. Collaros threw for 249 the last time we played them. 

The Redblacks defence was the problem. Huge play after huge play against them.

Ottawa s secondary was horrible, did they make a play all game?!? They need to upgrade their back end to be more competitive next year.

There were several players removed by the spotter over the weekend. That included Kelly and a couple of others. All returned but did miss a series.

The big shocker for me is EITS taking Kelly out of the game for protocol??  Usually in playoffs they really let those slide.  Kelly bounced up immediately and looked fine.  Man, if they do this to Zach I'm gonna be livid.

If Zach or any other QB got rocked like Kelly did they'd be out for a month of Sundays, he is one tough duck. I thought that sack should have earned a UR and a league fine, although it was clean it was done with excessive force and was delivered with the intent to take the QB out of the game IMO.

RedBlacks seconday was a sieve! How many times did receivers get behind everyone and WIDE OPEN TOO! BAD!

I expect to see Brown's yardage total bumped up to 487 yards tomorrow morning.

487 confirmed. A stat correction has been processed.
