Quote from: Tecno on July 03, 2026, 02:03:04 AMWhy is the CGY pass rush finally good?  Very strange.  Kelly is getting no time, and he's taking too long in any event.  And are the CGY DBs really blanketing all those power TOR RECs?

Very weird.  CGY clearly has come in with a plan that TOR didn't expect.  Boy, that's a novel concept <cough> <cough>

because they are healthy - orimilade, hitchings and hicks are probably the best d line in the league

Then why have they heretofore sucked?  Heck, WE beat them!  Wow.  That's bad.

And the only other team they have beaten is BC, who is also directionless and bad.

Maybe it's just TOR is worse.  I had thought TOR had turned a new leaf.  Maybe not.
Never go full Johnston!

Our DBs would have totally failed on that amazing Philpot tackle that Cesar did.  Unbelievable stop.
Never go full Johnston!

Tecno

That is incredible the DB just gave up on stopping that play!  Holy moses, it clearly wasn't a TD and Cesar could have stopped him -- ref waited for the re-reach to whistle it.  Who doesn't keep playing until they hear the whistle?

Right after his amazing play he loses all his IQ.  If this was a MOS team he'd be livid.

And now the returner screws up TWICE?  What is happening to TOR.  They pull this the one week I pick them?

2min left if the ball goes into the EZ and your name isn't Janarion, you take the rouge!

TOR strikes me as a very loosey-goosey team.  So much winging it and hoping, and relying on Kelly's play-making ability.  Very undisciplined.  Very unprepared.

Just have your mobile/elusive slinger QB chucking it deep to a star-studded REC corps.

I guess the question is whether it works more than it doesn't.

CGY looked like the WPG D on that Kelly walk-in... wide open flat, no one accounting for the QB.

Poor quick six.  He's like, why is a snake biting my leg?

Weak DPI there, maybe the final 2 grabs did it.

On a GL off-side, all D players should have a "buddy system" so the guy next to you checks your hands and yells at you.  Or sacrifice an end player who polices the whole line and yells out the name of whoever is over.

There's almost always time before the snap to fix it -- it's rarely right before the snap the guys put their hands wrong.
Never go full Johnston!

great end to the half here. 

Tecno

Has anyone stayed at that newer-ish high-rise hotel in "Hotel Alley" there across from McMahon?  I'm assuming it's a hotel and not apts... Not sure if it's green now, but it was green when they were building it I think.

because those players didn't play vs us - 2 anyways. you should know this - it was talked about in the gdt thread.

Bombers only faced Hicks, the other 2 were out.

Holy .... Surely the DB has to know that he has zero help behind??  If you have no help you simply cannot go for the INT!  That is insane.  Even our DBs & scheme aren't that bad.

Amazing finish of the half, defensive mistakes plentiful.

Presidents Choice Memories of Demerio Houston, first time around.

On the plus side, the close score, and now higher-scoring, means that anyone with Kelly or VAJ in fantasy will probably make bank.

This game will probably end up as a barnstormer.  Kelly/TOR will throw caution to the wind, even moreso than they usually do.
