I wouldn't give up on McGuire, shitty weather + one team playing to get home field while the other team playing back ups and without the foot on the pedal....

Kept running on first down, didn't even try taking a deep shot until McGuire was already rattled. It was not a great game plan, and part of that I think was fear of the weather with a young qb. While team needed to be better to put a young qb in a better position. Not excusing the poor throws, but just saying it was more than just McGuire wasn't good enough.

If sheep can transmit COVID, Saskatchewan is in big trouble.

There were a lot of things going on that made McGuire look worse than he might in a game that would have some meaning. The play calling and game plan would have been way different if this game was a WSF and McGuire was playing. Cooper worked his way out of town with his performance on specials that cost at least an 8 point swing and tons of field position. Just having even McKnight in there who at least secures the ball would have made a big difference in the field position battle. Then the play calling can be more controlled and McGuire is not made to force things. Even though he avoided sacks McGuire was hurried lots and often throwing off his back foot into eight man coverages many times. So I wouldn’t give up on him yet.

Still better than sask's OLine

He is the veteran of the group, he damned well should be ready for a pass. It's just an example of how seriously the Bombers took this game.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't outright abhor the Riders franchise and especially their fan base.....

The running game: any DC worth his salt would scheme to stop the run & force the inexperienced QB to beat the D with his arm.

Also better than the elk and lions ol. Ham and tor are close. The big issue was we had two guys who weren't tackles at tackle. If Richmond had stayed healthy on blind side it would've been good. I really hope he's OK and can start next week.

Step no 1 have zero entertainment or sports competition in your market lol

Edmonton got jobbed. And now they get to play 2 more games this week that mean nothing and have to travel from Vancouver to Toronto to do it.

**** 'em...if by some chance we meet 'em Dec 12, we'll absolutely paste those assholes.

I just have a hard time really getting on mcguires case when at the start of the game he bounced a pass off his receivers face. If that's where the veteran receivers head was is it any wonder the offense looked like complete ass?

Hardrick played about a series or two and was out. We then lost the starting LT so we're down to a 3rd string. Again, Guards out on the island playing Tackle. It was a dog's breakfast. That's just ONE of the things working against him. The soaking wet ball didn't help at all. The running game never got going, so that makes them one dimensional. Listen, I'm not going to say that McGuire is a misunderstood all star out there today, but I think people are WILDLY over reacting.....

a little patched up???? They had 5 NI interior linemen (Guards and Centres) playing the 5 spots!!!!!

If they let McGuire run an aggressive down field passing attack that might help too. He is clearly not a nickle and dime offense guy.

How sickening is that? How is that tool working national broadcasts? Need a lot better TSN. Idiot on the field...only one?

I always wonder if that line was meant to be ironic or just another example of Lucas's poor writing.

Low bar

When he has been targeted a lot this year we got 1 of 8 and 2 of 7 from him. Getting hit in the shoulder pads by the football as a wr is never understandable. Didn't even raise his hands and it wasn't his blind shoulder either just sad

No way. I'll be cheering for the Stamps just cuz I hate the Riders so much. The tortured wails & angst will be so great if they lose in the WDSF it'll be so well worth it. Any day is agreat day when the Riders lose. Then we kickshit the Stamps & Bo Levi.

As Jim Barker said other than Bryant & Neufeld he had all the starters playing. Yeah, they are 2 of best OL on the team but their replacements did a good job. I didn't think the OL played that badly. McGuire had time to throw. He was hurried a number of times but he wasn't harassed or sacked a lot. He made really bad decision. He underthrew & overthrew open receivers., He missed targets he should have had. Now, it was his first start so I'm not writing him off. I remember Dieter Brock's first start as a Bomber in Edmonton back in 1974 after Don Jonas was traded to Hamilton. It was a very similar game with a similar outcome & look what kind of a qb Brock became. McGuire HAS to be better. A lot better.

hey Matty @Geebrr 🤣

1 - Collaros 2 - Collaros 3 - Collaros unfortunately this game confirmed what some have thought… this team (specifically the offense) is average, at best, without Collaros… I’ll concede a few things in McGuire’s defence: the weather was terrible, the o line was a little patched up, the mtl D is legitimately pretty good, it’s his first start… and I wasn’t expecting 80% completion with 300 yards and 4 TDs… but that performance was absolutely putrid… that’s was an Alex Brink level QB performance… his accuracy was abysmal, his reads were terrible, he had zero control of the game… even Caleb Evans looked competent in his first start… HH to Shaq cooper… with all that McGuire “accomplished” he may not have been the worst player for the bombers today… i don’t normally jump to quick conclusions on players but I’d be perfectly fine if Cooper was released immediately… absolutely pathetic performance for a guy who is supposed to be a cfl veteran… anyone still think Nelson is the worst returner on the team??

My guess is they looked at the field conditions and noped Hardrick straight to the bench.

I'm not sure why anyone's surprised or upset. All we needed to do was get out of the game without any injuries to starters and we did that. McGuire looked like a QB getting his first start. Bad decisions. Bad throws. One set of downs where he looked like he knew what he was doing. The rest of the time he rookie'd it. Next week he should look better. Cooper played himself off the team IMO. That performance was as bad as any rookie performance and Shaq's no rookie. I'd like to see Collaros get enough reps next week to get comfortable, then pull him so he can't get hurt. Today's game showed once again that Collaros is the difference maker. No Collaros = No Playoff wins for us.

I said earlier. Until the 4th quarter on first down we were running the ball on first down. Being a rookie on 2nd and 7 isn’t the ideal position to be in

In fairness, I'm told the NFL reffing has been awful this year, too.... And NHL reffing is no hot hell.

CFL product is always going to get dumped on when you see blatant bad calls like that. Refs gave this one to Sask, after Fajardo basically tried to give it away first. League should be embarrassed.

Refs got the #FuckThem memo

Lol fajardo celebrating like he won the cup. Lol

Curious .. wouldn’t reviews be initiated by the replay official in the last three minutes of the 4th quarter (and OT)?

Two giant missed calls to end the game. First the missed horsecollar on Ross big catch that would have put the Elks goal to go. Second the PI on the INT.

What a shitty ******* game. Well I want the Riders to sneak by the Stamps at home and then we'll ******* destroy them yet again at IGF East.

Seriously, how can they call down and correct an offside but not a game changing miss call like that?

1. Kongbo.......living up to potential, in this one 2. Gin.....in copious amounts 3. Gin....in regular amounts

Jim Barker can't speak fluidly. He's awful

I don't think for a second the Riders are doing anything wrong here. Sell the tickets you can and hope, with the odds in your favour, that it works out. Pandemic has hurt all teams. Back office taking care of finances, while the team takes care of the rest. Shoot your shot.

Learned something new today. Brandon Alexander’s dad is Derrick Alexander who played on the great 1998 Minnesota Vikings team.

Offended? Or laughing at? ****, this **** from you is exhausting.

I really enjoyed it and was certainly surprised that Bond was killed off for the first time ever. I chuckled that Craig wanted to make absolutely sure that he wasn't coming back for another. Ha ha.

Cooper can't return punts. And isn't effective as a ko returner. He was good as a back in edm but I don't see use for a back up imp rb with out versatility. Adams has been a mess more often then he's been good for 2 seasons now. He blocks great and is a leader. At some point he's gotta take a pay cut and switch out of his premium position or the Bombers have to move on. He isn't too old but he's had a lot of injuries. Seems like that combination has caught up with him. McGuire was pressured on atleast 3 of the picks. You have to understand that pressure isn't just a guy about to sack you off the edge it's also the ol being pushed back into your lap. You can't step up or follow through on the pass. The play call was every bit as bad as Cooper and McGuires performances. Often we had 3 targets out no combo routes no set up no any thing. You see better run offenses in pop Warner. Buck and Mos pulled back the reigns too hard. The running game was good for the first half. After that mtl put 8 and 9 men in the box because they knew what was coming. Which goes on the play call in part too.

I'm beginning to think that after this season it may be time to move on from Adams. There was another play in the game he was thrown to that was incomplete. He looked like he made little effort to catch the ball & he looked like he wasn't interested. Until that TD catch he was playing like his head was in the clouds.

Regardless of how we feel about the Riders, they have built a great fan network and marketing. There are several CFL teams that could learn from them.

Edmonton got hosed there.

Disagree… I want all the starters to play, at least some, in the final game… I don’t want important players like Collaros, Jeffcoat, and Bryant going a full month without playing a game…

The game changer will be a vaccine pill that will be sold as Ivermectin.

Imagine thinking the Bombers have peaked.

He's not even showing! 🤯

None of the players are taking their foot off the gas. There are some talented players that have worked hard in training/practices all year that are getting a deserved chance. This is what the team has worked for. From the players perspective, who may sit this week: Game (Week 14) Bye (Week 15) Game (Week 16) Bye (Semis) Game (West Final). It's good for rest and recuperation. Also, if your replacement plays well, you better step up next week.
