Jeffcoat is great, but not healthy enough...he just can't sustain health, so no point even planning around him. If we have him healthy its a bonus...he needs to be looked as just that and not as an every day player

He will be fine.  2 weeks off.  Good enough to wait.  But yes he struggles with being healthy.

Kramdi a liability??

Hmmmmm

Another big tackle in a big moment

Wings or breast?

40 yard PI on the goal line and a 15 yard RP. As a total effort he falls into the minus category this game.

Great and worth the wait..yes...but he won't be fine he has not been able to show it. Even the best player in the world is no help if they can't play...it has not been once or twice or even one or two years.....we need to face the reality he can't be factored in

#1 in a lot of categories.

Those categories cost us games against the Redblacks, Riders and TiCats. Each team has a less than 50% winning record.

PI was a game changer but he also made plays.  He was called a liability which is disrespectful and wrong.

4 tackles and a sack says CFL but I don't recall the sack.

I call it an average game with a couple big mistakes.  He will learn from them.

A SAM LB needs to play above average. I don't care if he had 10 sacks when he literally cost us a TD with the PI.

I big loss to BC, 2 OT losses we should have won, and this 6 point loss... and 2 fiftyburgers for...

Could be a lot worse..

Pathetic: Poor execution, some dropped balls, some forced balls. Defence couldn't stop anything: soft coverage and poor tackling.

Not impressed by the play calling on either side of the ball. Gave up our run game before the end of the 1st Q. That allowed their defence to rush more effectively. Even though we were winning the passing game quite a bit, it hurt our TOP. If you can't force the opponent off the field more often that's a problem.

Castillo's bad game cost us 6 points. We lost by SIX POINTS. I'll have to check the distance on all the K/O's but ours seemed10 yards shorter and our coverage 10 yards worse.

Agree all but D was reasonable 2nd half.  1st half agree.  Not much to hang your hat on.  Amazing we still had a shot after so many blunders.  Zach was off a bit after some nice 1st half bombs.  Lack of running game killed us.

KO were not great.

2 big games coming up. Have to play much better in those.

Can't lay any more eggs

They beat us showed weakness in defense   their lQb ran on us. Listened to cjob . Joke announcer saying what if we lose by 30 what would happen.  Only getting a announcer from sask would say shitlije that  

[Blue In BC]

My point was he isn't a liability.  Yes he needed to play better.  Yes I mentioned that penalty was a game changer.  No need to get angry.

I'm not angry. I'm stating a fact. He doesn't make enough good plays. It's more obvious when we lose but it's a fact. Still seeing soft coverage and sloppy tackling. I'm not sure whether he's has a higher ceiling or this is it. At this point I consider his play overall as average. Average is not good enough.

EDIT: Well I'm angry that we lost to a team we should have blown away. Total failure by the defence and ST's. Coverage was not great, returns were horrible and kicking becoming suspect.

Have 2 weeks to find a KR.
