Labour day rematch Game Thread

[Bleeds Double Blue]

I know I'm beating a dead horse here but I would like to see a little more pressure on the quarterback. At this rate they won't even have to wash Masoli's uniform after the game.

Too many dumb Argo penalties in the first half: too many men on the field, offside, and no end. Then the fail to make third and inches early in third quarter resulting in a Hamilton FG. Mistakes. Mistakes. Mistakes.

[jerrym]

Good to see the Argos fight back and score after a Hamilton TD but MBT has not been able to get a long pass near a receiver's arms.

[jerrym]

Using Carter as a returner when you have Martese makes about as much sense as using him a DB. The Argos should use him regularly as a deep threat, even if it is primarily as a decoy to open things up.

[Argo]

I agree with Milt Stegall, if you're going to use Carter, use him throughout the game; don't insert him here and there. Also, when they put him in after 8:30 minutes, they go to him in the end zone, which the Tigers Cats were probably waiting for on his first play.

You are describing (- genius).

[jerrym]

I am not impressed by our five yards passing and a cloud of dust QB who did could not come close to completing a long pass until its meaningless with two minutes to go.

[Stevoman]

Not good enough in every single phase of a must win game.

[Bleeds Double Blue]

Say good night Playoffs.

A big round of applause for Trestman and Bethel Thompson. Yeah the Argos defence sucks, but this dink and dunk - no long game offense is doing a whole lot of nothing as well.

Expected more (for big bucks, no less) than:
repeat
do the same things
see if we get a different result
until (season kaput)

[jerrym]

The 15,702 in attendance was inflated by Hamilton fans. With a boring ineffective offence and a porous defence how low will it go before the end of the season?

[Wobbler]

Bethel Thompson has plenty of skills, but clock management is not one of them. We wasted a lot of time today.

[R.J]

Best before date...? (?)

We've ran this same offense for 9 years, and it seems only work every other year. Maybe it'll be better next year, but with Trestman's boy at QB: I'm not convinced. Eventually you have to throw deep in non garbage time.

Edited my post, but IMO either one applies.

MBT is too much of a American style QB in the sense he doesn't call his own plays at all or doesn't call the set and always goes for the headset. Numerous plays he just stared at the sideline because he didn't hear something in his headset.

[paulwoods13]

Every qb in pro football waits for the call in their headset. Unless you can point me to one who calls his own plays. They haven't existed since Flutie in the CFL and (on occasion) Manning in the NFL.

[Bleeds Double Blue]

As a glass half full kind of guy I'll point out that on the bright side we will have plenty to talk about in the offseason as we discuss who we should take with the first overall pick in the draft.

[jerrym]

Hopefully Wilder is not seriously hurt following his being stopped on second and two in the fourth quarter and limping off the field and not coming back. The Argo offence is weak enough without losing him.

[jerrym]

Edwards, who went 9/117 and Green who was 8/97 were two of the too few Argo bright spots. Noel is looking better and better from game to game, catching four passes for 53 yards today with 37 YAC yards. Wilder had 76 yards on 11 carries, suggesting he could have done more with even more carries.

Thanks to everyone who came out. There’s always next year.
