Godwin, Butler, McAllister, and Duke had decent games. They were the only ones.
I won’t blame Powell for this mess, he did better than I expected. The CFL game has evolved past the QBs being pylons in the pocket. He had a few opportunities to extend drives with his feet, and never did until the 4th quarter. And gee - look what happened when he did…
A Defence that cannot defend.
An Offence that is truly offensive.
An O-Line that’s as useful as wet toilet paper.
Tacklers that cannot tackle.
Receivers who cannot make receptions when the ball hits both hands.
Bad penalties to extend drives.
Predictable Offensive play calling.
A QB who seems incapable of running 5 yards.
A receiver, Smith, who got blown-up at least twice blocking.
Two Tackles beaten like govenment mules on the same play.
We get to 2nd and goal, and Revenberg takes a 15-yard Misconduct penalty. As @Count_Floyd1 said in the PBP thread, his worst game as a Ticat. He’s been rock-solid since we drafted him, so this is an anomaly.
Asinine holding penalties behind the returner.
Too many men penalty, JUST after Toronto did the same thing. Mark Washington failure there.
It took until the 4th quarter, but Powell finally ran the football for a FD and later a TD. Of course we miss the convert…
The entire Defence, aside from ONE hit by Edwards, hasn’t realized that in ofter to tackle Ouelette, you HAVE to take him out at his knees.
We score a TD, and allow Toronto to walk right down the field for a TD. No killer instinct, piss-poor coaching.
McAllister had a great return, and there was a VERY nifty on-side punt, but other than that, ST coverage and blocking was horrible.
There was very little pressure on Kelly by the D-line or LBs.
I have absolutely no hope for this team under current leadership. Everything from talent evaluation, to contract structure, to the coaching has been nothing but abject failure over the past three seasons. Aside from a few individuals, there seemed to be a total lack of effort by the majority of the team, no matter what the paid mouthpieces on the Ticats Audio Network say.
This team looks defeated. They looked defeated as soon as they stepped on the field. If that is not a reflection of their Head Coach, I don’t know what is. how many times have we seen the Tiger-Cats start a game totally flat under Orlondo’s tenure? I actually think that 2019 was the anomaly, because we have seen three years of sub-.500 football with this spineless LOSER of a human on the sidelines and in the President’s seat. The sooner the team rids itself of him the better.
