If they lose this game its 100 percent on undisciplined penalties.

Horrific injury to Acklin.


Didn't look good by any stretch. Hoping he can make a full recovery.

Thank god

 

[Senscore]

Big win for the team. They did a great job at closing this one out.

 

[Bileur]

Thank god he did and man he played well. That was one of the most fun entertaining redblacks games I've ever seen. If Masoli keeps rolling he should start until he loses. That was the most complete performance by a qb on the road all season. Much harder than beating Calgary at home on 4 days rest.

In regards to the command center. Acklin talked about how insane its been. He thinks over 85% of calls have gone against them. I wonder if he gets fined.

It certainly feels that way.

The team was showing a command center scoreboard on the big screen at the game the last few weeks (something like 1 call in favour of Ottawa and ~12 against, with an Illuminati pyramid/eye watermark on the graphic) I didn’t notice it tonight, maybe they were told to quit it.

Big win for the team. They did a great job at closing this one out.

It was awesome to see Mardner finally break out. Onyeka has been contributing as well. Starting to look like a good draft.

I hope Acklin is ok that was scary stuff. Big loss for the team he's been amazing. Thoughts and prayers. Really liked the leadership Brown showed in his post game interview. Talked about how undisciplined they were which was honestly really sad. It almost cost them. B.C never goes for it on 3 and 7 if they didn't start with better field position. Which was two bench penalties in 3 plays.

 

[Bileur]

Did they explain what those bench penalties were for?

Did they explain what those bench penalties were for?

Generally that is for too much chirping and yapping, either at the opponents or at officials.

I am of the view that there are way too many people in the bench area, namely injured players and practice roster guys. I have watched games from the rows close to the home bench, and I swear these guys don't shut up the entire night. If I'm the head coach, I am sending all the injured and practice roster players to the stands, along with any other hangers on who shouldn't be in the bench area.

That defense has proved to be amongst the top in the league so far this year! This sets things up well for fall season football and a competitive team.

Glancing the schedule, I see that the RB's will have 7 road games and only 3 home games left before the playoffs (PLAYOFFS?)

They are also going to be playing mostly eastern team so 4 point games in a race to for that eastern playoff bye.

Hope they can keep this up.

5-5 I’d say, it’s a tough schedule

 

[salomonster]

Yeah I think 5-5 is realistic.

Anything more is really good.

 

[aragorn]

I have to say the best player for the RedBlacks & the real reason for having a decent yr this yr has been the acquisition of Drew Brown more than any other player. He has made the most difference with this team & their revival. He is having an MVP season for the RedBlacks.

Redblacks being hammered by BC 24-3 in 2nd quarter

31-6 at the half

 

[thinkwild]

Rourke finding his form again, tough to stop. Great runback from Dedmon, almost a TD

 

[mianjo]

31-12 going into 4th quarter

 

[salomonster]

RB's penalties are negating any potential for a comeback vs BC.

They are absolutely lacking discipline in this game.

They will likely loose this one and will have lost a great opportunity. Now the Argo's who are turning a corner are going to be breathing down Ottawa's neck.

38-12 final

Been a common theme. Brown even addressed it after last week's win. Pretty sad and pathetic to put that much work in but have your ego ruin it.

Does anyone know why this happened?

 

[thinkwild]

He was pretty effective, he must be quite the hothead to get released from the team. Guess we saw the start of that after he got automatically suspended after 2 misconduct violations against Calgary.

Redblacks dominating Argos leading 31-3 at HT. Webb with 2 td's on interception returns
