The good, the bad, and the ugly.

[Jesse]

I think I'll need help with this one, so much to remember.

The Good:

- Just win, baby
- The comeback
- Dinwiddie's sad face
- Dru Brown revenge game working out for him
- Ottawa DBs can't catch
- Sergio 6/6

The bad:

- Not being able to convert TDs inside the red zone (over and over and over)
- Dru Brown tossing at least 3-4 interceptable balls and many more into coverage
- Brady being ignored and pretty ineffective when called on
- Stanley Bryant is getting run over...
- Gabe Wallace is whiffing pretty consistently...
- Teams being able to nickel and dime us to death
- Gross penalties called against us (specifically the 25 yard roughing and the combined 20 yarder pulling us out of the redzone)
- We needed to kick 6 FGs... (score a TD)


The Ugly:

- The new OT rules, I thought they were dumb
- Jake Maier throwing for 344 yards against us...like, c'mon.

Really? You'd prefer this game ends in a tie??
I really liked this actually!

Good-linebackers flying around
    -Vaval always reliable although didn't get much work tonight
    -No quit in this team
    -second half defense
    -Dru Brown over 300 yds passing for second game in a row
Bad-Nield nearly costing us the game twice
   -TSN broadcast getting numerous things wrong {Suitor}
   -Just lucky there wasn't more INT's
   -not using Brady enough
Ugly-Bad penalties
    -slow starts again

[Sir Blue and Gold]

The Good:
- The win
- Castillo (minus the kickoff)
- Dru Brown continues to look good all things considered
- Willie Jefferson and the defensive line continue to play better than last year
- Kyrie Wilson had his best game of the year
- Ottawa is so bad we only needed to play a quarter of the game and OT.

The bad:
- 420 offensive yards given up to a horrible offense
- Oliveira not being able to run against the league's worst run defense
- Defenses collapse at the end of the first half and the very inconsistent coverage. Moxey still doesn't understand what's going on half the time which is on JY at this point.
- JY's terrible play calling and the most amateur blitz looks imaginable
- Roughing the punter

The Ugly:
- Stanley Bryant - worst game as a Blue Bomber by far. What a way to go out - it's going to get ugly from here.
- Short yardage fail, but really the last two games it's been rough.
- Brady Olivera's just getting too slow. He looks like a fullback all of a sudden. Is he hurt? He can literally only run up the middle. Not sustainable or good. Give Chris-Ike a few series and see if he can open things up with a more traditional running attack.
- Tommy Neild's OT drop and illegal block are cover photos for a terrible wide receiver performance across the board. Three Canadians is not looking so good. They couldn't get much worse as a group.

Nice comeback.
Special Teams.
Goal line stand.

Lots of close interceptions.

Ugly

Lots of Ottawa wide open receivers.

I don't think the options need to be that or a tie. Just keep the mini-games going.

[TBURGESS]

What's so terrible about ties?

Its like kissing your sister which is not exciting unless you are from Saskatchewan!

[theaardvark]

Just one add:

Kramdi - good.  very, very good.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

What's so terrible about ties?

Nothing wrong with ties, it tells the truth about the contest, Wpg. didn't really deserve to win and Ottawa didn't really deserve to lose, why distort reality for fiction?  The extra point generated by a tie can play a determining role in the overall season standings and playoff picture and it's also a permanent reminder that a team did not play well enough to win the game. 

[markf]

Bad...... low energy for the first half. This is not new

      No run game. Way above my level to explain this.

      Big Stan.

      Me, first half, I was pretty down on the team.


Good.... D goal line stand, DRU rallying, pass protection wasn't horrible, special teams, reliable no. 23,

        Secondary got it together, pass rush was good.

        Yeah Kramdi was a whirlwind. Plays everywhere.

         Nice to see Kyrie make a big play.

Bombers are lowest no. Of penalties in the league.

I don't think the options need to be that or a tie. Just keep the mini-games going.

When the mini-game format was introduced in 2000, OT could continue for up to 4 rounds. TV networks complained about the length of the new OT and the CFL reduced the format to 2 rounds for regular season.

Also from 2000, CFL introduced the loser point for losing in OT. Winnipeg made the playoffs in 2000 because of a loser point. The league soon saw the error in its ways and eliminated that rule. Sometimes the voice of reason prevails.

IMO, there are ways to adapt the mini-games without getting rid of them completely.

[The Zipp]

tim white has been solid - real solid

kramdi since moving back to the lb's has helped the defence a lot

slow start is maddening and reflects on MOS inability to motivate his team.

The Good
The comeback and fight to win, nice to see we didn't fold up when down alot
Griffin was particularly strong all game/making plays/stopping the run

The Bad
Secondary coverage is horribly soft/easy to complete passes against
Both Stanley and Broxton getting beat by pass rush, several times, Stan has lost a couple of steps for sure

Ugly
Tommy Nield - first the brutal penalty that cost us a TD, and then the drop in the end zone of another TD, that's 14 points that cost us, can't afford to do that
