Kelly and Oullette taking some big hits in the 1st Q so far.  Oullette limping pretty good now.  However, he often does that and never seems affected long term.

I doubt Oullette will play more than 1.5 quarters.  Kelly should be pulled by halftime.

Ford having a tough day so far.

They said Oullette is 100 yards short of 1000.  Dinwiddie faced with the same decision MOS was a couple of times.  Remember when AH33 was like 15 shy of 1000 and MOS refused to put him on the field?

Will Dinwiddie have the fortitude to think of GC and team first ahead of Oullette's personal stat journey?

I think both can be accomplished. MOS not putting AH on the field to gain a measly 15 yards was a crime of stupidity. Don?t watch the stats, just play the game. I doubt he would have held him out if he didn?t know he needed 15 yds, but he did know so he kept him out. Just play the stinking game!!

Come on Elks!
Brown is a great talent! I?ve liked him all year.

Toronto D is excellent at collapsing the pocket. You have to move the pocket around against this Argo D-line.
Go Bombers!

This is just way too easy for the Argos. No chance for the Elks in this one.

Oullette seems to be having a lasting problem with that ankle.  This has been going on for at least 6 weeks.  I think he's been playing on a never-fully-healed ankle and it's weakened it.

Look at how easily it rolled over on that slow-mo they showed of his last play.  It shouldn't be doing that.

Maybe it's something like that that has been bugging Grant for so long.  Maybe Mafia did the right thing holding him back as long as they could.

McMahon: fantasy vulture!  Squawk squawk (or whatever vultures say).  Tecno gettin' PAID  ;D ;D ;D

I expect Kelly and Oullette to sit very soon now.  Though Kelly could step back in should TOR start losing.  While they don't care about the win points, they certainly care about making the home fans happy as they do their next-season ST drive.

Fords throw on the run there for the last second major before the half was magic

The closest guy to tackle ford was the ref!!

TecnoGenius

Awesome, now TOR is forced to play the game fur realz.  Either than or just let their home fans down.

Do they start Kelly in the 2nd H??  Is it worth the risk?  MOS wouldn't.  Same with Oullette.  I wouldn't start either.  Tell the backups they have to win it for the home crowd.  It is "just EDM" after all.

Anything that puts more wear and tear on TOR is good for us in the GC.
Never go full Rider!

J5V

Trying to care, forcing the emotion, nothing to really play for, trying to focus while trying to stay loose equals a coaching nightmare. Ouellette's ankle does not look good and is limping heavily. Not sure why he's playing. None of this good for the Argos.
Go Bombers!

McMannis is one of the best players in the league.  Sick pick 6.

TecnoGenius

Simply amazing how we creamed TOR with our run game and EDM can't do squat on the ground.  Their RB is pretty good too, so this speaks mostly to OL and scheme.

Maybe it was all Jackson... HAHAHA  ;) ;)

3rd Q wrapping up and Kelly and Ouellette still playing. Why? Strange coaching decisions.
Go Bombers!

Pete

#16
defensively the argos have the best personell in the league< and I'm not sure its even close

Mcmanis. Oakman, Pickett. , Orimolade, Stiggers, Metchie etc

btw did tyrell ford get picked up on Green Bays practice roster? I thought he was cut

J5V

Strange play calling by the Elks. Argos able to just blitz every down and Ford has no answer for it, no misdirection, screens, sweeps, or roll-outs by the Elk QB. Easy pickings.
Go Bombers!

J5V

Ouellette slow and unable to make his cuts on that ankle. Not sure why he's playing but it's dumb.
Go Bombers!

Right?

They bench Kelly in our game but your putting a hobbled Ouellete out for a meaningless game?
My wife is amazing!

Apparently he was ******** that he wanted to play. He was reminded that this wasn't the Grey Cup and he argued "Yeah, but it's getting closer". Just dumb.

I hope mongo gets exactly what he deserves then! They have a very capable rookie running back who?d gladly take the reps but no ,that?s ridiculous. I thought dinwiddie had more sense than that.

Yeah, but it's not up to him.

They have clearly built a strong team in TO, but there's been some questionable decisions, imo.

I think they were scared to have Kelly take an L against us.  Bad headspace for the GC if we beat TOR when they are max-trying.  I worked out the game theory behind the choice, and it was the right choice.  But the fact they then played Kelly basically all game tonight shows that the fear motive may have been a major factor.  I thought for sure Kelly would just play 1H tonight.

And letting Oullette dictate how much he plays is bad control and coaching by Dinwiddie.

What is McManis doing with the toothpick in his mouth during his interview. What a joke

Watching Ouilette limp off the field was kind of tragic/heartening.  McMahun?  might be a different look and solid RB, but Harris.Ouilette was going to be a dangerous combo in the weather in Ham, should we make it there against TOR.  Much rather face a scat back in the cold and snow. 

Was saddened to see our Ford in the crowd watching his brother.  I guess he's taking Thanksgiving off his NFL toils and visiting family.  But it was sad to see him there and not on the sidelines in BC

That could also indicate he's living at home with Dad and just went along for the trip to keep him company.

No doubt, waiting on an NFL call turning down a few game checks and playoff money...
