The fact he wasn't outright ejected and suspended sends a message to other players headhunting - even of QBs - will be tolerated.

 

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

Imagine letting Craig Dickenson or any other Rider player live in your head rent-free for a week.

Regroup and move on.

This was a super fun interaction to explain to my daughter watching her first-ever CFL game.

Sucks that in end the defense gets some blame...but it's not their fault...they didn't set the roster

If we played just a half assed game on offence we win easily...or even a half decent kick cover game...a good 9 points were basically given to them...not like Sask offence did much

And then declined no yards...and not challenging anything...again....didnt help

Seriously especially with 3ish minutes left just run the ******* ball.

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

This isn't Madden easy mode - we aren't gonna go undefeated or anything like that. Loss stings, sure, but I remember a time when we would always chalk up the LDC as an auto-loss on the schedule.

9-3 with two OT losses isn't a bad spot to be in.

Pete Robertson has to be fined and suspended for head-butting Collaros and then giving him a knee to the head while the QB - who has a history of concussions - is still on the ground. I thought Robertson should have been ejected on the spot for intent to injure. And if it was up to me, I'd ban him from the league. The problem is that none of the on-field officials saw what happened and the infraction had to be identified by CFL central. 

So like... legally speaking - why isn't this considered assault.

And the fact the Riders had spectacular field position to start just about every drive.

We had pretty good kick coverage on the opening kickoff 🤣

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

Has anyone else noticed our offense has morphed into how it was when Buck Pierce was QB? Feast for Famine, no sustained drives - lots of all-or-nothing style of play (1st down incomplete passes etc)

I asked this earlier, but can you challenge a facemask? It's bad enough that the refs missed Bradys head getting spun around, but even worse if our coaches missed it.

• Defensive Pass Interference
• Offensive Pass Interference
• Illegal Interference – Blocking Downfield by an eligible pass receiver
• Roughing the Passer
• Roughing or Contacting the Kicker
• No Yards

A coach may challenge the following called foul:

• Illegal Block on a kick return

This is per CFL.db, because this league is ass when it comes to posting about its own rules.

I mean tbh we had won 6 against them in a row. We were bound to lose one eventually, LDC was bigger for them, as the season series is on the line. The fact there was only 1 turnover against us, and they got the surprise onside, to me shows they knew the only way they beat us is on gimmicks and gadgets.

I'll be more pissed of they lose next week at home.

Again gents, great game.

Records are meaningless in LDC and BB. See you next weekend

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

So like do they post footage of the pushups to their instagram or what?

Hate to be continually negative tonight but in my opinion Parker might be worse than McCrae as a returner.

Parker is more boring in a good way.

So glad we dont have Lottery Legghio back there anymore

I don't like our punter at all...and again I think it's Osh loves that Aussie crap...for every good goofy kick he has 5 that give teams insta field position...and obviously our cover teams can't cover them

We lose about 20 yards with every possession exchange.

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

2 score game now 😑

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

Obviously Houston is playing aggressive.. He is just starstruck i picked him for LOTW.

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

Houston reminding me of TJ Heath of yesteryear, who was also bad for going rogue and getting burnt deep.

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

Imagine being so bad at rushing you get called for hands to the face whilst on D and still dont get penetration.

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

I get it's the letter of the law, but that's a tough call on Lawson.

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

Oof. That INT by ZC was terrible

[Week 13 - Labour Day Classic, Bombers @ Riders]

When it's all said and done, O'Shea will go down as one of the greatest.

Also - Riders suck lol

[Als Versus Lions Game Day Thread]

Thanks for nothing Als.

[2023 Week 13 Pick 'Ems]

I know with each pick'em i am right 50% of the time, every time.

[LDC 2023 Early chat]

Regardless of who sees the field Sunday, breath of fresh air that the Bombers allow players adequate time to recover and don't rush them back.

It's little things like that that players want to play here.
