Kiss the 2024 Witches v.V - Walk-Off for US for once!

That felt like a playoff game, and it vurtually WAS. If we lost, we would virtually be eliminated.

Instead, we swept Toronto this season - if nothing else, THAT feels good.
BLM wearing the lucky BOveralls into the stadium This is must-wear apparel for him for hte remainder of the season.

Speaking of BLM, can you believe that final drive with just under a minute to go for the win?

Robinson had a hell of a game, with a couple of tough catches and a TD. Bridges was our most-targeted receiver, and made crucial catchs to get us to the 2-yd-line twice. The first one led to a TD, and the other led to FIVE attempts at the goal line and a FG. TT was at QB for at least two of those plays, and I can’t understand why thery did two handoffs from the shotgun. I don’t know if he made the correct read on a RPO play, or if it was a running play from the get-go. Either way, as @Crash mentioned, the O-Line simply HAS to get a yard.

It’s impossible to tell on TV, but White was targeted only twice, and I don’t know if it was due to double-coverage or his inability to find an opening. No drops though, so that’s good.

I am seeing what Milanovich sees in Bell vs Butler - Bell reminds me a little of Archie Amerson when he actually played RB - a shifty guy with elite speed. Butler is a true North-South back. I feel that the combo of Bell/Litre gives us a more dynamic look.

For the longest time, I thought Washington had reappeared to “coach” our Defence. I know we had a few injury replacements, but they obviously aren’t good enough. Leonard is a hindrance - he simply gives up too much height and size to opposing receivers.

The play of the game, or the TSN Turning Point, was Milanovich’s challenge on that completely BS DPI call in the end zone. If TOR scores a TD, the game is over.

Five penalties for 50 yards is pretty good. TOR had 8-82.

The field was an embarasement. Hopefully it’s that chewed-up for that soccer team that Rogers apparently now owns.

POTG is Milanovich’s challenge flag… lol

Tim White was drawing double coverage all night. A couple of catches, by Dunbar and Bridges were a direct result of Tim taking two guys with him.

That was excited, playoff football.

Yes, Leonard. I will fix that.

Its his tackling that bothers me most

Fixed. I agree, he’s a poor tackler. IMO the only thing he has going for him is his experience. He would not be a starter on an AVERAGE team, let alone a good one.

Let’s just get one thing out of the way for media, social media, etc.

We didn’t get stopped 5 times from the 1.

1st down - sneak from the 2. Got 1 yd.
2nd down - Sneak from the 1. Stopped.
3rd down - offside Toronto.

1st down - Shotgun (stupid)
2nd down - shotgun from the 2

We were stopped 2 times on the 1. (3 as @Egbert points out if you count the penalty)

I would have liked to see 3 sneaks after the penalty.

As for the rest of the game… Some quick thoughts…

Bell is a better runner than Butler, Butler is a better pass catcher.

Dinwiddie is stupid for calling passes when he could have run the clock out. That was a huge turning point.

If Milanovich doesn’t have a challenge, we lose the game.

Though we gave up 30 pts - the D is still improved. Lots of FG stops when we previously would have been torched.

Bo Levi Mitchell is arguably the best QB in the league right now, and over the past month.

Legghio made 6 FGs - and I don’t think anyone has mentioned it. The guy has been great.

I still don’t think we’ll make the playoffs - but I’m excited to watch this team.

Yes! I think the challenge flag should only be used in the first 55 minutes of a game if it’s an almost guaranteed win, otherwise having it available in the most active 4-5 minutes in CFL games (I.e. the last 4-5) can win you a game.

Guys!! What an amazing win tonight!! I still think our hope is for a crossover as I’m rooting huge for the Stamps tonight. It’s really a shame that we’ve seemed to find our MOJO after a 2-9 start. You realize that if we do crossover, it could be a TiCat-Argo Grey Cup!! Could you imagine??

Second only to Oshea for worst challenge of the year.

I think we were stopped from the 1 three times.

2 & G from the 1 and Litre bobbled the snap

3 & G from the 1 Litre gets stopped, Argos were offside, fresh set of downs - arguably stopped because of the offside but I think it was more of a hand in the neutral zone than getting a jump

1& G from the 1 after the penalty where they went shotgun

My only frustration with all of this is they’ve been tremendously successful all season having Litre under center follow Rev and Beard. They only tried this once and it was the 2 & G from the 1 where Litre bobbled the snap. I really think that play should have been run twice more since it’s as close to automatic as anything we’ve seen for years.

I don’t count the penalty as a stop but that’s semantics. It’s also fair to argue if they didn’t stop us we’d decline the penalty and score.

I think we all agree the shotgun plays were panic and not high percentage.

Great showing. Great heart!

Can’t get stopped 3-4 times from within 3 yards of the endzone and not try a pass once.

The Argo missed FG off the upright proved costly, reminds me of a few years back when we lost games hitting it off the upright in Toronto.

The run is working, the diversified reciever options is working.

Those 3-4 games at the start of the year that we easily could have won are looking very costly to our playoff hip hopes.

Now that this group of players and coaches seems to have figured things out, let’s make sure to bring everyone back next year and not do the massive turnover thing again which results in not figuring out how to win until the last 3rd of the season.

Oskee wee wee!
