October 7, 20213 yr comment_528258 LaPo needs 10 on 2nd down. So he throws a crossing route to Dedmon for 6. Typical. Glad he's gone.

Last week in BC the Bombers were IN 2nd down 19 times and converted to first down 12 times. Twice they converted after BC penalties. They were 4 of 5 converting when running on 2nd down. They were 2 of 5 converting when throwing for further than the first down marker (3 times incomplete). They never threw an incompletion when throwing short of the first down line. 4 of 6 times they converted to first down throwing short of the first down line and their receivers got the YAC yards necessary. The 2 times they did not, one was 2nd and 3 and Lawler got zero yards on the pass. The other time it was 2nd and 17 and Adams got 5 yards. The 4 times it worked, one was a screen play and the other 3 Collaros threw 2-4 yards short of the 1st down marker and the receivers got the YAC yards necessary. The one unique situation was a 9 yard pass to Lawler on 2nd and 10 and they converted the 3rd down gamble (so it technically counts as not converting on second down). So sometimes, just like a long bomb 50/50 ball, a QB will take the pass play the defence gives them (like 8 yards on 2nd and 10) and will basically say to his receiver “go get that first down with your legs”. It’s not like LaPo is the only coach to ever call that play, or that every receiver is even running a short route on the play call, but it is a QB choice where the throw goes and not an OC call, reacting in live time to the read and what the defence is giving them. And that short of the first down marker pass does work from time to time (in the BC game, it converted more often than not, and with more success than the longer passes on second down). But if that play call is so awful, I expect the same criticism of Buck Pierce (or any other offensive coordinator) every time it happens, whether it is his decision or Zach’s.

October 7, 20213 yr comment_528278 This game changes so fast, like what I'm seeing from Evans but this is the oainfut part of being a newbie qb. Lapo is on a timer now. 1 minute ago, Bubba Zanetti said: Well, just when you thought the Redblacks were turning the corner.........They grab a poop apple and take a big bite.

October 7, 20213 yr Author comment_528288 Part of the problem, amongst the many, many problems, is that Toronto FC fans hate the Argos. They hate sharing the facility. They get all cranky about it is supposed to be the National team's home, blah, blah, blah. There is lots of animosity. Then you put out a terrible product. Edited October 7, 20213 yr by JCon

I've ran that exact question theough my head every single time I've seen a game in Toronto. It's one of the biggest cities in North America,no excuses whatsoever
