GAME THREAD / Week 11 / Toronto @ Hamilton

[Wobbler]

We are killing our offense with holding penalties. Three out of four drives have started 1st and 20, which is a recipe for failure.

Part of the reason many (including myself) predicted a close game today, Argos tend to lack a killer instinct.

Argos tend to lack a killer instinct.

I think holding penalties are attributable to lack of confidence in your linemates. "Killer instinct" is continuing to attack when you think you've already won, isn't it?

Partially, Hamilton have nothing going on particularly on O but the Argos aren't much better tonight (so far).
Killer instinct also means starting strong, crisp execution (including eliminating penalties) and burying an opponent with a fragile psyche.

What is concerning is all the holding penalties our 1st string linemen are taking against Hamiltons 2nd stringers.
