One hour and twelve minutes to the start of the game, so I thought I'd create this thread where we talk about the game as it happens.
This is the first "Must Win" game, no matter what happened against the blew team. It is the first of three "Must Win" games at this point of the season, and we ALL want to watch Tiger-Cats football next week at our "home away from home". But, let's not look ahead.
I want the team to be focussed, but relaxed. I don't want to see them playing "tight" and make a bunch of nervous mistakes. I want to see them play with confidence and intensity.
I want to see Masoli have the best game of his career and LEAD this team to a win.
I want to see our Defence stifle Stanbeck and smother their receivers.
I want to see competent placekicking, excellent coverage, and great returns from the Special Teams.
Most of all, I want to see the Hamilton Tiger-Cats win the frickin' game.
TSN drags out Duthie, hockey guy, for postseason again. Don't get it. If you think your CFL lineup lacks something then address it. If you think Duthie adds something then it should be self evident but it isnt.
The Ticat pregame show on Ticats.ca (with Fantuz) just confirmed that Ciante Evans is out today. They also just confirmed that Adeleke will replace Evans, and Katsantonis will start at free safety.
Not solved: having no backups available for 6 positions on the defence.
Is there a "Roster Management 101" course made available by the league? Someone will need to explain to me why Stribling was taken off the roster, leaving us at least one player short, when we knew C.Evans was hurt.
