Once more vs LVS in the POs, this is round 5 and we are knotted up 2-2...
We didn't change much on O but hopefully can take advantage of the weakened secondary. Gmrek has burned us on the edges in the past so am trying some more Buzz and dropping 8 to limit YAC on D this time around. Roster wise you'd think we will roll them but Turf has out GPd us a few times in the past. Be mindful of the cold, Holzer has thrown up some stinkers in the freeing temps before.

Well Holzer comes out storming but coughs it up at midfield and LVS comes up with it and they grind it down with McSwain catching a short one for 20 and the TD. We dink and dust across midfield but the rookie 3rd down sensation Caniglia gets caught up behind the line. McKnight converts a couple 3rds and dinks his way down the field getting up to 9/9 for the TD but it is called back on a hold and then we get a sack but gift them a new set of downs on a DPI call and Gmerek blasts us up the gut to have LVS up 14 early in the 2nd.

Run game gets us to mdifield with little trouble once more and Holzer breaks one to get us to the RZ and we find Sigrest who should see more targets today on 3rd for the TD. McKNight drops deep on PA on 3rd and 8 and dodges the internal pressure to find Tubbs for nearly 30 and battles back from a holding call but we get teh sack on eh next 2rd down in the RZ and LVS goes up 10. A poor KO leads to good field position and Crabtree grabs one over the double with Sigrest ripping off some YAC to get us to their 22 at he 2 m mark but we can't connect and get a failed completion on 3rd so settle for making it a one score game. Vanagas gets a couple nice gains for LVS in the hurry up and LVS goes back up 10.

Man, we need to find a way to get incompletions, can live with the running gains but McKnight is at nearly 9 yards per dropback and highly efficient.

We get a pick to perhaps kickstart a comeback and we battle back from our own RZ holdingcall to set up 1st and coal at the 1 but take another holding call then a huge sack and slice the kick. Our failure to fix our kickign game this season may be the death of us. We fianlyl force a 3andO with solid tackling but loa dn behold were offsides on 4th and 2 and while we get anotehr stop they pin us at our 5. We hit Sigrest dowfield gain and then Holzer rips off 59 yards and then Sigrest grabs the TD as we face 7 man rushes against man coverage in the RZ. McSwains burns us for a big YAC gain on 3rd and long before Mcknight grabs a coupel more completions and we settle down on D to force the FG adn 6 point deficit to start the 4th.

A failed completion on 3rd and 6 leads to a 3andO, Gmerek converts a couple 3rds in teh air and we still cant get them off the field with Vanagas beating the double for a YAC gian on 3rd and 8 to set up 1st at our 10 and they get an important FG to go up 9 with 3minute sleft having taken a whopping 10 minutes off the clock onthis drive. We promptly throw a pick in teh face of pressure and ahve to use all our TOs to get it back. Fence gets a 61 yard catch adn run but then FOF RZ logic kicks in and we are running in the RZ and kicka meaningless FG to end the game.

Well damn, we perhaps were too passive on D and our kicking woes raised their ugly head once more as well.

Our Os numbers look fine with a bit lacking in the RZ bu our complete inability to stop them in teh air especially on 3rd really did us in as they went 10/13 on 3rd in the air. Our rush put up good enough numbers and the YAC/catch wasn't bad but our secondary was completely non existent despite having well timed doubles and 8 in coverage many times.

Congrats to Turf, once again you are showing why you are a cut above the rest of us in the CFL. Won't be rooting for you though.

Lots of options this offseason for us...could franchise Mitchem or go ahead and start the next era. We have lots of contracts tied up in affinities and aging vets that we could let go to put together to be a talented squad once more even with a rookie I think.

I had to redo my offensive GP as I thought this could turn into a shootout with our defensive personnel issues. I hemmed and hawed on my approach and decided to go with a ball-control approach with McKnight free to do his thing where applicable. Unfortunately, I didn't forsee us getting as many first downs as we did so we ended up with familiars in the 2nd half due to not enough plays in my 1st down sections. We typically don't get any familiars and no play appears more than twice in our GP.

You guys really tightened up on run defense int he 2nd half, but when it got close McKnight was able to throw to keep drives alive.

On defense, we eased up on the double teams a little compared to normal against you, both due to lack of secondary and I thought you might be less forceful in your targets.

I thought the score would be higher and I really thought the chunk plays we gave up were going to be our undoing, especially with us in clock-killing mode.

Congrats on the season and sorry for ending it. Thanks for not rooting for us, we prefer to play from an underdog perspective.

GG Hunter,

Your team can really chuck the ball. Those long TD's were impressive but our running game prevailed. Your team is very young and will be Killer next season.

Now on to KC and there juggernaut of a team, how the hell do I stop that offense and score of that 2nd half defense?

imagine putting "Francisco Lafrance" at the top of the depth chart over the generational Nickolas Donaldson...

I kid, good job everyone. Glad I didn't put my picks out there (woulda been all wrong)
