Please let this happen.

Watching TSN highlights you would swear we lost.
They love their Riders.
Pathetic.

If you give Veltung his kick return  TD on that very weak but always called block the game isn't as close as it seems. It's shocking to me how close the Time Of Possesion was tho, thought the bombers dominated the TOP. but really just had the ball for an extra minute really.. Thought it was way more as we seemed to always drive the field, go 2 and out just once i think... long drives, eating up lots of time but... guess riders had some time consuming drives too.
 
A big Victory in my opinion for sure... we were 4 for 4 in the redzone. That's huge. And you know what... it always seems like the winning team in the CFL is the one who turns the ball over the least, we didn't turn the ball over, sask did once on a drive they probably would have got a fg out of, that's the difference.
 
But honestly, the run game stuff, if it happens vs Hamilton, i'll be a bit more concerned but... regardless of what people say, Messam owns us and Allen is a damn good back too. Big time running yards but at the end of the day, it's irrelevant since we won and the other thing, when it mattered the most, the D stepped up and stopped SASK... yeah it would be nice if they didn't give up those 4 or 5 big plays but... they did but at the same time, outside of those big plays, i don't think sask did much else. It was either big play or nothing for them. 

Marve should not be moved.
Crazy talk.

Feel bad for Nick.
Emry is a dirty, reckless, plug that I have a hard time feeling bad for.

TSN tried their best.
Peach probably gets fined.

Can anyone explain why that kickoff wasn't a safety?

Also kept saying the 33000 in attendance when it was quite obvious there was lots of empty seats. Whole sections really.

From the FP:
 

49th season opener....
Last time we won a game in Regina...
.....I could still remember everything...
Tonight, offense jelled...but defense was mostly Jello....
Easy to play O, when people actually block for the QB/RB's
Drew Willy took full advantage of the situation....
....with poise, good reads and a precise short passing game.....
...to the tune of 22 of 25 325 yds and 3 tds.
Outstanding game, from Paris Cotton....100+ rush yds....
...breaking tackles, and getting YAC in the passing game....
RB Marshall has some pretty good wiggle and speed....
....for a big power back.....with 2 TDs
That 2 back system looked real good today....
....and really provides more options....in the redzone...
KR Velting showed potential....had 65 yd return called back
Rough first half for Bryant.... but was very strong down the stretch...
Good game from J. Daniels on that right side....
Chung did not look out of place....in his debut...
Overall, huge passing grade, against vaunted Rider D-line
Moore had his first TD and a productive game....
Denmark still best receiver on the team....
Durant goes down with torn Achilles tendon...ending 1st half.....
Rider's questionable depth....tested early, with multiple injuries
For most part, Bombers controlled ball and clock, with their O...
But, DC Hall's tenure...off to shaky start......
Gap cancellation almost non-existent....on D
....as Bombers victimized by 3 long TD plays
...and a number of other big gains...
Soft coverages and lack of pressure up front.....
....completed the dismal picture...
Hurl was underwhelming at MLB.....
Big jump ball INT by Adams on goal-line.....
Parts of that game....turned into flag fest...
Riders had some problems understanding new illegal contact rules.....
Back and forth game......the Bomber O took...
....and the D gave back....until the last 2 minutes.....
Bombers then managed some stops....
....and gave Riders taste of own medicine....
...as they ran the clock out to seal the win.....
And that gin..... turned out nice again......

He has had this group of guys in his system for literally one game.
My word.

As close to meaningless as you can possibly get

willy was only smacked once that I remember. 

Ah yes...I remember now.  Thanks Geebs

If you're late on a cover 0 blitz, it's over Johnny.
Deion Sanders in his prime would be tough to stop that.

I'd agree.
I'm not as ready to write off Hurl, but he definitely has room to improve.
I hate guys being late on a blitz... I dont have patience for it.

Hopefully our D does the reverse of last year and gets better as we go along .

People amaze me.
Get back to me in 3 games with a legit sample size and hopefully some continuity.

Nope. It was his other foot and it's obvious on replay that peach didn't even graze Durant

Legget will hopefully be back soon. He makes a big difference

On the long TD pass he was blitzing along with Hurl, cover 0 and Durant read it pre-snap.  Randle was playing Smith inside shade and Smith broke outside deep, no chance for Randle to cover him with no help over the top.  Bigger problem with that play was how ineffective that blitz was, didn't even force Durant to move the launch point to give the DB's a chance to make a play.
