It's us vs the rest of the country
Personally I did not like the play call. Kilgore looked great in preseason and deserves to start. Picking up McPherson is looking like a great move IMO. Seeing Ray sitting on the bench with ice on his knee and a smile on his face makes me wonder if anything bothers him. Odd watching a possession offence in the CFL. 38:00 TOP....incredible.
Bourque needs to step up and earn his pay. If he would have done his job Ricky would not have been injured. He hasnt played well at all and several penalties along the way too. He needs an attitude adjustment in the woodshed.
My polite way of saying he needs his ass kicked.
We were in FG range, and a successful FG would have made it a three-score game.
On the other hand, the D reacted well to that adversity. I was expecting a nervous onside kick, but they didn't give up anything deep on the last Alouette drive, and came up with a great goal-line stand.
Also good to see that our tackling was much improved.
Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

While I don't agree that the leash should be short for either Kilgore or Fajardo, not pulling either of them no matter what is the score is unrealistic.
If the offence hasn't been moving for 2-3 quarters, switching the QB is always an option, no matter who it is.
A team of 46 players plus the coaching staff is there to win games, not nurture a QB.
I don't know as that Kilgore completion to Montreal could have been the nicest one of the game.haha. To me it looked like robotic mixed in with panic. We need to keep winning no matter who's behind centre. Can you tell I'm a Farjardo fan. Who knows maybe they start McPherson to throw everyone off.

disagree - McPherson has had opportunities to show himself and imo isn't very good. I'm fine with Kilgore getting a shot here. I'd even rather have Fajardo have a shot over McPherson, who I think should be limited to running the sneaks at most. sorry i'm just not high on him and I thought it was a huge get the first time we picked him up - too bad.
No, I was at that game and Ottawa completely shut down the Argos in the second half. Ray had no protection a lot of overthrows and sacked about 3 times.
With Kilgore I can see Ottawa dominating in the second half again.
To be fair Jensen came in cold off the bench in the one point loss, Kilgore will have a weeks practice. If Jensen starts again it could be a close game, if Burris or Harris starts it won't be a close game.
Ok, I guess since you were there then you must be right. I guess all those missed tackles I witnessed in the stands didn't mean much in the end.
There really isn't much film on Kilgore so it will be interesting to see what looks the defence will give him. Kilgore may actually take a chance throwing a few deep instead of checking down.

I openly mused on Twitter whether Hajrullahu's struggles on Monday night influenced the play call that led to Kilgore's INT? The Argos might not have been as aggressive with that play call if Lirim had hit those first two field goals. Special teams coverage weren't very good so maybe they didn't want to risk a big Logan return?
