the worst part is the MAJOR role in the Ticats win played by their no-names.
Who the hell is Bennett?

Wow...... what a brutal collapse. Inexcusable, especially against a depleted TiCats defence.

5-23 in their last 28 games. And you wonder how long it takes before they alienate the last, few remaining fans that are here.

Jackson Bennett was the Ti-Cats second round pick last year. He was drafted as a safety/strong-side linebacker. The Ti-Cats needed depth at running back so they converted him.

And with starting DBs ejected early on. An embarrassment all the way around. 3 total points in the entire 2nd half. This team is a joke along with the entire organization -and I thought last year was bad!

**doubleblue** · 09-02-2019, 04:16 PM

Well again they gave it a great try. But the holes in this roster are still there and show in the crunch. Franklin has got to see some time now.
Good bit of rugby there at the end though.

We got a majority of the calls (I thought) in our favour and we still lose. Unbelievable.

**Shatto** · 09-02-2019, 04:18 PM

Good teams find ways to win and poor teams find ways to lose. This is a poor team and won't get any better until president, coach ad GM are replaced. That will not happen until next year; maybe no even then if MLSE doesn't smarten up! Pity folks trying to sell tickets to future games.

We do suck.
Just heard Evans threw for 442 passing yards.

Season-high number of sacks. Abnormal number of Ticat turnovers (not normal for them) And yes point taken
about the penalties, and don't forget the ejections. And yet, it doesn't matter.

**Bleeds Double Blue** · 09-02-2019, 04:22 PM

I can't help but wonder how the coaching staff thought they could get 11 points out of that last play. Amateur hour.

**"Issues"Mcgee** · 09-02-2019, 04:25 PM

My takeaways:

James Franklin must be removed forever. He thought a qb sneak was a fg attempt. Erase him. I don't have to mention how awful of a starter he is.

The law firm is not a great QB.

We have this strange philosophy of sending the return or the rush into the biggest grouping of opposing players. Every single time.

**ArgoTD** · 09-02-2019, 04:27 PM

Season done and still 8 games to go. Could be some record small crowds sadly at BMO - May have to shut the east stands fully as there may only be family and friends who show up. So incredibly sad to see this team sink even further ever since winning the cup just 2 years ago

Think he went 16 for 16 at one point...good thing Masoli was not in LOL

**argosrule2415** · 09-02-2019, 04:30 PM

Can you imagine if Masoli was healthy for them and started this game? It wouldn't even have been close! Losing is one thing but losing to the Ti-Cats nonetheless is like a punch in the face. Tired of getting my hopes of turning our season around and making an improbable run to the playoffs. That's done now.

Oh and did anyone catch Chamblin on the sidelines chuckling while the referee were discussing the penalties after the melee? Not exactly sure if someone cracked a joke on the sidelines but so much for being all business and professional. Call me old fashioned but save that chuckling for a win after the game. We're 1-8 (Well 1-9 now) Get that out of here.

**timlb01** · 09-02-2019, 05:05 PM

Best uniforms in the universe. This team sucks really bad. This game was a replay of the Montreal game. Wilder needs to sit in favour of Burke going forward. I think Jacque should run the ball down the middle a few more times on first down. What kinda of calls were these.

We were in trouble when we only scored 3 points on 4 turnovers. Who wins with 4 turnovers in one half. What the heck in the world.

Argos have outscored their opponents 40-17 in the first half of the last two games and have been outscored 49-9 in the second half of the last two games.

They should be commended for their halftime adjustments👍

TiCats may have found a gem in Bennett. He's built like a running back, looks like one and runs like one.

That may be the most damning stat of the season.
