Got to give the Ottawa defense recognition for a solid job stopping the run.
To give the coaching staff credit, they really had Taylor spread the ball around. Crossers, slants and some deep balls. Happy to see Smith make a couple of catches that mattered. Came back for the ball on the sidelines and had some YAC’s.
Pass pertection was 1000% better tonight!
I hope Leonard is OK.
Did Powell punt 3 times tonight?
I saw the one drop kick,-onside punt play, but must have missed the other two.
WHAT . . . A . . . GRITTY . . . PERFORMANCE !!!
Mea Culpa . . . I did not think they had a chance in this game, with only 3 days rest, and no real Practice Time.
Good team win despite being screwed by the schedule maker. Still can’t get overly excited because of who we beat ( 3 of 5 wins were against Ottawa). Ottawa is basically out of the hunt now and the real battle is now between the 'Cats and Calgary for third in the East. As for an honest shot at second place, well, the thought of sugar plum fairies are not dancing in my head.
If anyone doubts Tim White, you should know this. He currently holds down two of the top 10 positions on the CFL receiving yardage list. It is a feat that has likely not been matched in several years, or longer.
You could actually see Powells eyes scanning the field looking for secondary receivers. Looks like the game is slowing down for him. Keep him as the starter or go back to Shiltz?
