CGY @ OTT gameday thread

[Pete]

you have to feel for the Ottawa fans, other than special teams they have nothing to cheer about. Doesn't help when the command center goes calgary on both challenges

Told ya guys!  (re: Adams)  Shoulda brought Arbuckle back in after the 3 min warning.  They had a chance to win possibly!

Lol, so he could have thrown the INT instead?

Their D is decent.  OL looks good.  ST pretty good.  Masoli will solve their QB problem.  Still have a WR/SB, DB and RB problem.

Huge bust explosions are making Maier look better than he is.  The stat sheet will not tell the real tale.

Ya, OTT fans are feeling like WPG fans in 2013.  They look like amateurs and children compared to the "real" teams.  Heaven help OTT when they face WPG or BC.  And I know how bad it felt, so you have to empathize.  But man, we had 10X more fans in the stands even in '13.

But I think this game told us more about CGY than OTT.  OTT will improve with Masoli.  CGY is what they show here, and it wasn't pretty.  O lame.  D lame.  Everything lame.  I think EDM will finish the season better than CGY.

Wow, what an ugly game. I couldn?t watch it, turned the channel. I can?t imagine being an Ottawa season ticket holder and watching that all season.

Are you serious? Arbuckle was even worse. Ottawa has no QB if Masoli is injured or crap as well. Decent D and STs Khari abandoned the running game way to early as well. Pathetic. Dyce has his hands super full. Team is not prepared.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

I think it would be smart for the RB's to start Arbuckle in the next game sticking to their original game plan until Masoli comes back, if they don't they risk starting over from scratch with Adams.  He may be entertaining to watch but he's mostly winging it, much like Pigrome did in the pre-season.  He has decent physical skills but looks frail, not sure how he would hold up to getting run over a couple of times every game.  Whether he has a future as a starter or not totally depends on his IQ, same as all QB's.

[M.O.A.B.]

The expectation is Masoli will be back after their bye next week.

[DM83]

Ottawa is lost.

bob will be unemployed in a couple months.
Khari is stuck in the past.

Those coaches don?t do much to help their players.  Like whose the skinny guy trying to get a first down.

That was awful to watch.  Ottawa the worst team? No direction, no expectations? Just  ?out there.?

Very disappointing.

[3rdand1.5]

Wasn't a very exciting game.

I guess Ott. had a chance....with Masoli they be ok?

Cal. well they won, Mair got some stats....but they don't look good two weeks in a row that offence kinda sucks, and of all people Dicky is the only coach so far this season to win a challange

I am confused with PI this year, it appear they are "letting more" go, I just really, really hope they keep it consistent all season, I like it better the way it's being called this year, but it's still seems as if they are letting much more go than last year

Also the CC has only overturned one call, good IMO unless it's really obvious don't overturn the call on the field, I don't like the fishing some coaches were doing, in fact I would like to see an additional penalty enforced if a coach get's it wrong.

[DM83]

That would be like the NHL.  Which would eliminate frivolous crap.

[BlueInCgy]

Was not much of a game to watch.  I guess the upside for both teams is that (and yes it?s early) it would appear most teams are struggling this season. 

Not convinced that Massoli will make a monumental difference for the RBs, but he can?t be worse.

[Lincoln Locomotive]

We are blessed to have a QB with a winning record since we signed him late in 2019.....he has stayed mostly healthy and has lost what 4 or 5 games sin 3 seasons?    Without Zach we are diminished and Dru Brown would be our starter....as Coach MOS said...."Zach exudes winning"!

[Blue In BC]

Neither team looks very good. Even this early that's not a good sign. Not much of a game to watch. Sorry for the Redblacks fans not having won a game at home for a long long time.

Maybe they'll trade us Mauldin. lol

Just wishful thinking. He's a top defensive player. Ottawa needs help on offence.
