Game Thread - Final - Hamilton at Ottawa - Sunday November 18th

[argolio]

Goes to show the difference between the Stamps and Ticats. Stamps lose receivers but remain competitive. Ticats lose receivers and collapse at the first sign of adversity.

Kyries Hebert was surprisingly good on Ottawa's D. Maybe Rose could have equaled him if he didn't go full Leroy Paul.

I didn't like the ruling on Ottawa's challenge. I thought the DB established position and the receiver ran into him. But the Ticats would have lost regardless. Other than the Mike Jones catch and Alex Green's first half, they didn't have much.

That has to be an embarrassing beat down for Jerry Glanville and his defence; Trevor Harris had a great game, but the Ticat coverage was horrid and they had little pass rush or other answers to the Ottawa offence. And the Ticat D backfield has plenty of talent IMO with guys like Breaux, Leonard & Daly all top notch IMO. William Powell was not that much of a factor if they thought Ottawa was going to bang the run game lots. A smart DC would have had some adjustments made - like an extra DB or all kinds of blitz looks maybe (but Harris was getting rid of the ball super quick & accurate); and sitting a veteran solid good pass rush DE in Cappicotti for a favored inexperienced import, just because of 7 only NI thinking, was predictable, but didn't work out so good, huh Jerry ?

Wonder if old June & Jerry return to the Pussycats next season ?

I think that Jones is more likely to come back next season to try to finish the unfinished business he still has.

Or Hamilton proactively promotes Steinauer to HC to thwart any discussions he might entertain from other teams (Argos) in regards to their HC vacancy.

Once the clock starts running (as it did), a play happens even if it gets down to 0:00. Masoli called time-out either because the 20-second clock (which continues to run) was getting close to zero or because he need to change or get help with the play call. That said, Hamilton was guilty of terrible clock management in the last minute of the half.

Thanks Paul, it truly was poor clock management by Hamilton.
