I will agree that they did well at bringing pressure.

Bah! Your D sucks against the run. Why we didn't run against you is a complete mystery. Had you shut down our run and forced Nichols to pass it would be different. Even then, for some reason Nichols was floating beach balls out there. Any D would have looked good against us. 

This ham team reminds me a bit of the don mathews als. high pressure and the back end focusing on forcing turn overs.Cover 0 isnt their base but Id say its the modern equivalent and as close as we will see to cover 0 as a base in this era.

We are supposed to have the exact weapons needed to beat a D like that.  Short passing, Andrew Harris, solid OL

We are and do. We didnt have the appropriate game plan in place, and didnt execute. Worst of all we continually turned the ball over. 

Idk what the split is, but when you turn the ball over 5+ times the chances of winning are extremely slim. (I would guess in the 20-30% range)

Week 16 we play them next. I hope this game sticks in the teams craw. I want to see the best and nastiest game this team has played under the canadian mafia. Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

No how perfect a game plan is, it will not survive 6 freaking turnovers.

Said turnovers were partly the result of not being able to contain a pressure defense.

Both true. Its cause and effect. Nichols has been struggling when dealing with pressure this year. Pressure is what hammersmell does. We have every thing to counter act that pressure, but instead put him in a bad position. And he did what you would expect of a qb who struggles with pressure and worse. 

aaand now Brandon Banks out this week for Ham......gift wrapping a win for those asshats in the rectangle.

Hey it's not all bad, they still have to play fajardo at qb.

Thanks for that tidbit, I've been struggling with my picks this week. Wanted to pick Hamilton so bad...

Hahaha

 

I hope the Riders received nothing in return. 

4th that could become a 2nd.

But wasn't Collaros the answer? Remember Rods claim of an 18-0 season if they signed him? lol

Also someone needs to seriously tell this guy to hang em up. He just went from one suspect Oline to a team with a absolutely horrible Oline....he won't finish the year.

That would be amazing if Collaros tore it up in Toronto... 😂

Toronto continues to grasp at straws

Do they intend to provide him some protection? Cause if not.... 

This is really unfortunate.  The chances of him doing permanent damage to himself (if it hasn't happened already) is so high that it's too bad that the league doesn't step in and say that he's not insurable so no contract will be allowed.

 

I know times are desperate in Toronto but trading for Collaros is a brutal move. Guess Fajardo is now the chosen one in Riderland.

MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes have released quarterback Brandon Banks and added Antonio Pipkin to the active roster, the team announced Wednesday.

Odd trade. But I guess this is Popp grasping at straws. It's not like he gave up much... Then again, he didn't get much.

Montreal could only dream of releasing Brandon Banks

Doesnt matter what they intend, they have no ability to execute. 

The riders are now insanely thin at QB. If Fajardo gets hurt or struggles really bad they have no one to call. I wonder if TO makes a move now. Has the MBT and or Franklin era now ended?

Don't those bozos proof read their stuff......I guess there's little difference between Bridge and Banks ... I suppose it's the language barrier

Riders have paid him already 200k

That's the CFL.ca headline, I didn't even notice the mistake.  😄
