I thought that the Toronto defence looked pretty good, especially with nine new starters. Ball had some problems with offside penalties but looks promising. It isn't like Eiben had a great game for the Ticats last night either, OV. When I say that we gave away the game, we took far too many penalties that the Esks did not force like numerous offsides and a too many men on the field penalty and you can't miss two short field goals like Prefontaine did. We threw away five points there alone and lost only by four. On top of that, Owens missed a perfectly thrown ball in the endzone that should have been a TD (Prefontaine missed one of his short FG attempts two plays later). This was a game for the taking and we blew it. The only consolation at this point is that Hamilton and Winnipeg also have lost this weekend. We have to win games starting next week though. I have never subscribed to the baloney about the season not really starting until after Labour Day. You need to win games early on in the season, in the middle of the season and at the end of the season.
