TiCats at Als EDSF GDT

[GOLDMEMBER]

I think Montreal squeaks one out here.

Discussion continue?.

[Waffler]

Never know in the east what team is showing up. Hamilton has the momentum and the Defence. I go with them.

[Jesse]

I believed in Hamilton after they benched Evans and went with Shiltz, but his injury derailed it again.

If they have a two QB system planned, or Evans is benched at some point in the game, I can see a Hammy comeback. I don't think Evans will lead the team to a win.

[Lincoln Locomotive]

The TiCats go as Evans goes.....will he turn the ball over at a crucial time?    If he plays like he played us....they will win.   If Stanback returns to form he is the key for Montreal......should be an interesting game either way!

Evans has to play an almost perfect game to beat Trevor Harris on a normal day, as long as Harris is not overly harassed he should get into his usual rhythm of moving the ball quickly.  Whether he can get it in the endzone or not is another matter, and that may be the difference in the game.

[pjrocksmb]

Even matchup

[GOLDMEMBER]

Anyone hanging out on here during the game? I figured Pj, The Zipp will be be on here posting play by playish? Thanks in advance.

[dd]

It all depends if the good Evans or bad Evans shows up today. Good Evans beat us, bad Evans stinks/has no chance of beating Montreal.

I'll be here yes Goldie

I?ll be in and out through both games.

[wpg#1]

I?m hoping Montreal, but I just think Ham is a better team and have some momentum going into this game.

[Pigskin]

Have no interest in the first game, Grandson has a hockey game. But very fired up for the WSF.

[dd]

I'll be here yes Goldie

I got my popcorn ready and go to go for both games

[BBRT]

I have to go with Montreal! I plan on watching both games - big day for me! I get to make Sunday Brunch - Home made hash browns, eggs to order AND WAIT FOR IT - FRIED BOLONEY  STEAKS - for me - everyone else is having Canadian back bacon - wife hopefully will still keep me after the fried boloney streaks.

[pjrocksmb]

I had left over shepards pie

[BBRT]

Wow! lots of empty seats in Montreal!! Very surprised!

Sad
Nice return

yes unimpressive

Worthy is playoff Worthy!, at least the horns are not incessant.

[pjrocksmb]

Nice drive

[GOLDMEMBER]

Good start Harris. Appears completely on target to start.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Evans comes right back. Could be a shoot out!?

[pjrocksmb]

Sick catch Lewis

[pjrocksmb]

Cats gotta adjust on d or this will be over soon

[pjrocksmb]

Evans like a magician there

[pjrocksmb]

Evans up to his old tricks (fumble)

[pjrocksmb]

3s won't win this game

[dd]

Tim white is the only ticat playing on offense today. Montreal has too many weapons to keep pace with

[pjrocksmb]

Cats pass D swiss cheese and not even the good brand

[wpg#1]

Wow, Montreal is flying !

[pjrocksmb]

O wait their run is weak too

Sick run

[BBRT]

Unless Hamilton gets their act together this will be over by half time.

[dd]

Walter Fletcher is a beast out there.

[The Zipp]

Just a terrible tackling attempt by Brooks on that TD run.

[pjrocksmb]

Game over sick int

[pjrocksmb]

This Aussie punter for Ham is very good

[dd]

I thought it should have been flagged, he pretty much clothes line him , which is a major foul

[pjrocksmb]

Agree

[pjrocksmb]

There is life in these kitties

[elder]

Hamilton is pretty bad.  How did they ever beat the Bombers so handily?

[pjrocksmb]

Check that kitties are dead

[elder]

Evans is not having a good day.

[dd]

Evans is not having a good day.

Yep, the Bad Dane showed up today.

[Jesse]

I?m going to go ahead and quote myself.

Only chance for a comeback is to bench Evans.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Hamilton as a team just has not shown up, period. Bad look on Coach O.

Offence
Defence
Special Teams

All take turns looking like garbage. The offensive unit looks out of short on multiple levels. Tommy Condell overrated.

[theaardvark]

Wow... those freaking horns... why doesn't the team do something about that?

Makes them look like idiots.

[dd]

Agree. Bad Dane showed up today, bench him and see if Schiltz can make a comeback. Long shot though, I think this game is over.

[dd]

It?s montreal, they think it?s cool. They?re a joke and not sure why the league doesn?t ban these it makes the whole thing look like a joke.

[pjrocksmb]

Don't call it a come back

[BBRT]

Don't call it a come back

Maybe not a come back - but the game just got more interesting!

[GOLDMEMBER]

Shiltz in can Hamilton amass an epic comeback?

[pjrocksmb]

Mtl d too good for kitties

Maybe not a come back - but the game just got more interesting!

Indeed

[pjrocksmb]

Jones bbbbbbeast

[GOLDMEMBER]

Als not out of the woods yet!

Howsare with the big sack.

[dd]

Ticats have the ball, 3 minutes left, have to score , the game is in their hands

Aaaaand turn the ball over!! Brutal.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Aaaaand turn the ball over!! Brutal.

yup total huge OL mess up. A gap no blocker? Nope. Game set match.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Hamilton stinks. I am glad they are out. Kinda sick of seeing them in general.

Montreal was much better prepared and deserved to win.

Santos Knox looks extremely upset as does number 23.

[3rdand1.5]

I was expecting a harder physical game. It's almost like Mtrl knew they would win and matched Hammys physicality, which was actually kind a soft for a do or die game.
Simoni seems to disappear in big games, and Dane was bad today. Good for Mtrl.

Good point. You wouldn?t even know Lawrence was in the game today, heard his name very little. And Dane was a hot mess today. He was hot and cold all year, if I was Hamilton I?d see if BLM wants to come to the steel city. They need a new leader for their offense, someone who is more reliable and consistent.

Will you get that with BLM nowadays? I think not.

[dd]

Not sure, would depend on his shoulder and if he?s healed up fully or not. No doubt he?s a great leader, he?s relegated to backup role in Calgary, steinhauer has a good locker room they just need a Qb who isn?t a flake. At the very least, I?d be getting BLM to work out for me in the off season as Dane Evans isn?t the answer there

Makes sense.

[pjrocksmb]

You would never know there is 40,000 people there. Kinda quiet.

Goldie wrong gdt lol

Ya, both games were a little lacklustre, really.  HAM mailed it in: no plan, no energy.  They know they are on the downward slope and might have a shake-up in the off-season.  Sad end to their run for the cup.

I think back to SF's 7 or 12 years ago and the quality of play was much higher than it is these days.  Talent has gone down, generally.  Weird.

[TecnoGenius]

And what was HAM doing playing STE so much and ignoring Hills?  They didn't run Hills more than 1-2 times before the game was out of hand (2 scores) and then they had to abandon the run.  Then they bring Hills in?  Almost as dumb as how CGY played the run game.

Those early STE runs for bupkis were really a waste.
