GAME THREAD / Week 8 / Ottawa @ Tornoto

[jerrym]

After 1st quarter stats are 187yds vs 39yds, that's all we need to know.

At least they were able to score when Martese put the ball near the goal-line, but you are right, the Argo D has been terrible.

[argotom]

Why are their receivers so wide open? I don't get it, basic school yard coverage folks.

[argotom]

Wow another Jackson blunder costs us 7.

zone defence being called by archer
also martese jackson should be benched for letting ottawa score a td on that punt by his horrible mishandling of the ball
players need to learn about repercussions for their actions
trestman NEEDS to be creative

2nd dwn 10 td, 5 yd pass attempt .... typical trestman ... he needs to learn
.oh my was that man2man defence on deep pass attempt by ottawa
still no blitzing by argos
harris has a long time to throw - his stats show i.
tirnover on dwns, 2 tries , sort ydage, and 32 up the middle twice ? boooo trestman
trestman is helping argos lose this game
,
why isnt jackson on the bench ?
4th turnover in 1st 1/2 - trestman needs to be ashamed
can argos just cry uncle and give up ? soon to be 1-6
can they just forfeit the game ?
.
let clock run out 1st 1/2 ?
trestman looks very bad ?
more and more i believe gc win last yr was a fluke
pocket passer doesnt work in cfl but maybe trestman likes being 1-5 soon 1-6
does archer even know what the word 'blitz' means ?
.
all these ideas on how to increase attendance yet 'winning' a few games doesn't seem to be one of them
esp. after they won gc last yr
oh right, mlse will fix all like leafs winning cup soon

[jerrym]

A big break goes against Argos on Jackson's fumble and Ottawa recovery, but considering the way the rest of the game was going the Argos were very lucky to be behind 14-7 before the Ottawa TD. You can't live on luck indefinitely.

[Argo]

This season could well end up being one of the worst seasons in Argonauts history. Nary a good vibration out there.

[argotom]

Again I don't get it, the unbelievable and no imagination for the 2nd and especially 3rd and short, everything up the middle?
Where are the swings, the counters, crossers, screens?
Where is the OC.

[argos1873]

What a horrible football team.

[R.J]

Round of applause for Marc Trestman and McLeod John Baltazar Bethel-Thompson.

[R.J]

Trestman's on the sideline - I don't think Trestman even knows what imaginative is.

Yeah, Trestman's lost me as a fan.

[argotom]

Then you add bad clock management.

[R.J]

Then you add bad clock management.

I'm glad I didn't bother showing up to this game. Good luck to the team trying to get to to attend another.

[OV Argo]

What a horrible football team.

Yeah - no $hite - they look like an expansion team; and yet they had the chance to make some changes to the line-up but continue to trot out a lot of mediocre players.

Time for BIG changes there - and that should include the coaching staff being reviewed, up & down.

[jerrym]

The DL is rarely able to put pressure on the QB, the OL can't create even small holes on short yardage plays, opposition receivers are almost continuously wide open, Wilder needs time to get going and therefore is repeatedly halted, the QB cannot throw long with any accuracy, and Jackson and Noel both make mental errors costing points. What one expects from what will soon be 1-6 team.

[argotom]

Me too, I couldn't make it. Good call.

exactly no imagination .... i use the word 'creativity'
defn of insanity is repeating same action expecting a different result

[gilthethrill]

What is this???? Oh my....a concert on the pitch!!!!

archer, def coach doesn't understand meaning of the word 'blitz'
defence and offence both very conservative
and martese jackson needs to be benched for a bit

[macspectrum]

Trestman's on the sideline - I don't think Trestman even knows what imaginative is.

Yeah, Trestman's lost me as a fan.

i really think trestman is ill

[jerrym]

I don't need to see the rest of the game to know the best performance by someone wearing an Argo uniform - Kardinal Offishall and I don't like his style of music.
