Maier never looked comfortable today, I didn't think his feet looked good in the pocket and his throwing was erratic.
The secondary got eaten alive today, BC's receivers are incredibly good at finding the seams and spaces, and the zone coverage just didn't work.
Too many penalties leading to points, the dicipline was bad.
I think the game plan got away from Dave, whether he thought he would surprise the Lions by passing, I'll never know. But the best running duo behind the best blocking line in the CFL, and in those 10 carriers the Stamps were pretty productive. We know the Lions weakness is defending the run. But he put the ball in the hands of an inexperienced QB, that just seemed like one big nervious tick all game.
Look, I like Dave as a coach, he's smart, he's creative, and he's clearly passionate about the game of football. And I think that Delmonaco is an exceptional Oline coach. But I think its time to bring in a actual for real offensive coordinator. Especially with the increase in football operations budgets.
I also think that Monson got badly outcoached today, but Rourke makes that super easy to do.
The Stamps really need to upgrade at receiver, I wasn't impressed with the receiving core this year. I like the overall defensive personal, but the secondary was short on experience.
