Something might have been brought up once or twice this offseason about the folly of waiting on 30 year olds with achilles injuries (Hansen, Wilson) but we hadn't lost to the redblacks so the sky had not started to fall yet

I mean... at least it's the Elks... can this lineup beat an 0-6 team lead by the crowned king of odd roster moves?

It's my new euphemism replacing 'pocket pool'

Blue Flu getting around

Call me a skeptic... I'd love to know where this comes from. I'm not outright disputing you, I just can't find this anywhere (and I'm obviously interested so I've looked): In week 1, MTL gave up 6 sacks. The MTL offense collectively scored barely 3rd place (65.8), well behind 1st and 2nd place WPG (78.3) and BC (72.0) in a week where offense was very low across the league. In week 5, MTL gave up 7 sacks. The MTL offense collectively scored dead last in PFF rankings (62.3) These are the only weeks MTL gave up 6 or 7 sacks (so far haha) Not sure which of these 2 weeks the MTL oline was ranked #1 but I'm genuinely interested if you are able to point me the right direction.

Okay try this one for size... Tui Eli was considered a 'steal of the draft' because prior to his college injury he was twice listed on the watchlist for the Rimington Trophy, awarded every year to the NCAA top center. How, you may ask yourself, do they determine these rankings? PFF? Couldn't be... "Trophy committee(s) work...with Pro Football Focus (PFF) to narrow down its list to the top 40 centers. PFF grades every player on every play of every game on how well they execute their given assignment. That play-by-play grading allowed the Trophy committee to create a watchlist based both on nominations from the schools and data provided by PFF. Once the season begins, schools will be able to nominate their centers for late addition based on in-season merit."

So forget PFF. Going by traditional QB ratings Faj is 101.2 which is objectively pretty good. Haha Faj-j-j and all that, obviously not the place to have a rational conversation about the merits of Cody Fajardo... but this is far from proof the PFF rankings are flawed

Me...? perhaps. But the PFF guys too? If Eli goes in and we have the same struggles I'll be back looking for another explanation.

I am definitely missing something and am not being shitty here, I just don't get it... I've been watching the oline especially close lately because I keep hearing again and again how Kolankowski is a problem. All I usually see in pass pro is him locking his man down while Neufeld and Gray get beat. Is he supposed to be doing more to help these 2 in pass pro? Is that why he sucks? Or is it his run blocking that sucks? I just don't know what to think, especially when the PFF scores consistently rate Kola as our #1 or #2 olineman every week while Gray especially is waaaay at the bottom of the rankings. Hard to trust my eyes, backed by the stats, wheb everyone here says that Kola is the biggest issue on the oline... help me out

Worse than the call was the execution. Bad throw, bad tip to the defense. I agree though, we should have been pounding the ball and grinding out clock.

Schoen leads the league in targets, but Austin Mack in MTL leads in receptions and yards while Rhymes in BC leads in TDs (Woli is #2!). A lot is being asked of Schoen right now and he is quietly delivering. The attention directed his way has opened up Woli and others and if anything the return of Lawler will take focus away from Schoen and open him up as well. This will be the O we've been waiting to see

Back to Corny eh?

Savon Scarver dropped a sure TD for OTT too, if we play the what-if game it could have ended even worse for us

LOL I've made that sarcastic cheer more times than I like to remember... 2013... shudder

The DL is OTT strength, wear them down

We should be creaming these chumps.

Lapo: ...interception right there...

Crowd reacting like it hit the turf on the replay

The patented slo-mo shotgun sneak

I knew a guy who played HS football against Nic... says he never seen (or felt) anyone run harder

Jones is a mad genius?

Could be our winning point

This punter has been inches from being deadly. Hope he can dial it in

He has been performing pretty well, not just compared to the worst QBs in the league but in general. He's hitting deep balls like he never used to and stepping up into the pocket more than he ever used to. Still holds onto the ball way longer than he should most of the time, but as usual he makes things happen when he manages to escape pressure. Some teams right now wishing they could go all in on Faj
