Stamps offence had two issues: Glenn was laying up lame ducks half the time, and the play calling was atrocious. Cornish didn't get anywhere, but didn't he say that if he wasn't able to run because they were scheming for him, that the Stamps would just pass it and succeed that way? Maybe Dickenson should have paid attention - I don' t know how many times they tried to run it up the gut and failed, yet in the 4th quarter, down by a couple touchdowns, there they were trying it again.
Toronto was vulnerable to guys out on the edges taking short passes and running with it, as we saw with the pass to Taylor that got Calgary their 1st field goal (of way too many). It looked like the middle was open a lot as well, but I don't think they even tried that money quick slant to Price more than once.

I seriously thought Glenn had hurt his finger when he threw up those two horrible passes in a row that ended with the 2nd one being intercepted and taken back for a touchdown. He had no zip on his short throws, and the long ones only worked when we got the iffy pass interference call, as otherwise he was in danger of being picked on every single one. I don't know why they left him in much past the early 3rd quarter, as the guy clearly had nothing and was dancing around all the time like he had an uncontrollable urge to urinate.

I'm mostly disappointed that they were outclassed by an Argo team that was near to missing the playoffs in a terrible Eastern division. The defence played well enough, considering Ricky Ray (despite what moon says, quelle surprise) is still elite. The offence, however - save Taylor - was a joke.
