OK here we go, this may take hours to release the frustration that I have built up over the last few hours. I feel that I just wasted 3 hours of my time and I'm not too happy with that. The Stampeders deserved to lose this game beacuse of the way they were playing. Here's a breakdown.....

DEFENSE
We have solid players here, our front 7 are amazing, I watched them destory that offensive line at times. Grace was a machine in that first half, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. Our secondary.....well you gotta expect this when in the offseason most of your starting secondary is gone and your rebuilding. Fine some growing pains I understand. STill a solid defensive core of players. BUT this defensive co-ordinator seems like a monkey to me. Everything is going real good, untill you have OTT in a 3rd and 23 and your up by 15 points. YOU DON'T BLITZ!!! I don't care what you have to say to me as a reason, you don't f-ing blitz. You drop those 4 linebackers into coverage. Common sense to me isn't it?! Or is the CFL different from the NFL in that aspect of the game. So many times when we had them in a pickle (2nd and longs) we blitz with 2-3 of our linebackers. That last play where Ranek got 40 yards, I saw a linbacker go to blitz, then go back towards Ranek then back to Darnell. Don't blitz when you have them in a long situation and there's not time left in the game. I know you want pressure, but that front 3 is good, they will get some pressure.
When we are so bad against the run, as it seems we are, try switching OUT OF THE 3-4. 3-4 is not as efective against the run IMO only unless you have very speedy DE's and big LB's. You gotta do something different, switch to a 4-3 for all I care, but the run is killling us. I think #1 problem with our defense is THE COACHING!

OFFENSE
Jenkins, you seem to be a good guy, had success in the past, but right now to me YOU ARE A BONEHEAD! If you really really think with our FABOULOUS QB's we are gonna succeed without a running game. Youare DEAD wwrong. When it's 2nd and 1 early in tha game and your up by 3(i think) YOU RUN THE BALL! Don't pass it and settle for a FG, we had such good field position in that first half we should have been winning 24-0. Just ######ed....When it's 2nd and inches again and your up by a few, RUN THE BALL, don't pass you moron. I don't want to be stuck in a 3rd and inches, no matter how good our chances are of getting it, no need to put yourself in that situation of do or die. Now the biggest piss off, I think everyone will agree with me on this......WHEN YOUR UP BY 2 POINTS WITH THE BALL AND THERE IS 50 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK. YOU RUN THE GOD DAMN BALL! I don't care if it's with Jones, Diebert, REgimbald, Fleming, Young, Boese, Coe, Grace, hell even Hebert. You run the ball, kill the clock....look guys we won. This offensive co-ordinater has got to go, he is running this team into the ground. Tommy Jones looked good at times, I think he played well given the circumstances. I can't see it being easy walking into a pass happy offense in your first start. his throws are a little high, which is a problem he can work on over the week. But given it's his first start and there's no running game to take the pressure off of him he played rather well. Some bad decsions on those turnovers true, but good none the less.

Just an example of what a running game seems to do. Darnell Kennedy is 1-2 with 4 yeards I beleive. Ranek starts running a muck and out defense starts to RESPECT the run. Then Darnell explodes for those 3 touchdowns. Do we not see a trend here.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Hebert.....I love this guy, he can punt, he can kick field goals. I mean a 70 yard punt, that was outstanding. This guy is solid, I hope we don't trade him for O'Mahoney or something like that. Our coverage team on punts, GIVE HIM HIS YARDS WHEN WE CAN GET THAT EXTRA POINT AND "seal" THE GAME! Don't pull stupid ish like that. Wayne didn't really get a chance to run crazy out there so I won't go off on him.

Such a bad game, waste of my time, undicipined. Stupid penalties everywhere, Matt either get a hold of your team, FIRE your offensive co-ordinater, get your defensive co-ordinater to NO BE BLITZ HAPPY. And please please please run the ball.

Can anyone tell I'm angry?!
