Ok, I'm back and I've settled down.
The good:
First-half offensive line. When I say Trevon Tates name as a starter, I thought we were totally screwed. I didnt notice him at all today, which is great news. I dont know if this was him playing better, or they were giving him more help with bladek, tight ends, and full backs. Macbeth looked a little rushed and sacked in the second half, but it wasnt obviously tates fault.
DJ foster: I thought he looked great. They mostly used him going up the middle. Even in situations where a run was likely, he was getting some good runs.
Dion pellerin: two key receptions for the rookie, including the game winning points. I like them getting the fullbacks involved as receivers. Takes me back to 2017 grey cup with Cross being clutch.
Sam achempong: looked really good at DT. Sack, pressures, and may have even blocked a kick.
No apparent injuries: I didnt notice any of our guys seriously injured, but I'm not the most observant.
The bad:
Macbeth: overthrew three wide-open receivers. Any one of those hits, the game would've been over. I didnt mind the rest of his decisionmaking and I think this overthrow thing is correctable. He wasnt having that problem on our three game win streak. Dont breaka my heart, macbeth!!!
Second-half defense: Lousy lousy lousy. Poor tackling in the open field. Giving up bad penalties. Mccoil jumping offside twice to extend drives.
Jeff Richards: this guy ssssssuuuuuuucccckkkkssss. He had a nice interception and return in the first quarter, but was garbage the rest of the game.
BC Lions horseshoes and leprechauns: the only reason BC had any points at halftime was by complete fluke. Circus catches, tipped catches, etc. As another poster said, it did finally run out with some horrible kicking in the final few minutes.
Dinwiddies "Victory" formation: I could not believe it as I was watching it. Huge gaff that nearly cost us the game.
Playoff game clinched (yayyy!) But huge room for.improvement (booo!)
