What did LaPo do today to earn his paycheque?? We played the same way offensively from start to finish. As bad as Nichols played, our OC DID NOTHING to help the guy.
Yes. They had no adjustments to the D at all

Wasn't JUST Nichols. That was a really bad game from our qb. Receivers were bad, play calling atrocious, but no need to pretend he had even an average game.
That’s my point. Yes Nichols didn’t have a good game. The Stamps D was lights out today.

Lmao
So Nichols is responsible for not having a target?

A huge congrats to you, MOS, for winning a playoff game. Awesome.
Couple questions though. Why not use your challenge on the ticky-tack interference call in the end zone with about 2 min left? You know, the one that gifts the otherwise totally hapless sliders with their only TD of the night. Couldn't you have made the following points to the refs: a) receiver initiates contact b) receiver then clearly embellishes effect of contact and/or c) the ball was not catch-able. More to the point, what is the risk in using your challenge flag at that point? did you think there would be a better or more impactful candidate in the final 2 min? To not challenge at that juncture was basically to gift them the TD. A second good challenge candidate would have been the lateral that was called an incomplete pass. I understand wanting to avoid wasting your challenge, but to not use your challenge at all is a waste when there are high-reward candidates in the mix.
Still. Congrats on the win. Must feel helluva good.
Finally, the only thing better than winning a playoff game? Doing it at Mosaic. In their first ever playoff game there. To send rider p** home for 6 more months of nothingness.
The rational would be on the interference was that the rule favours the offence and regardless of who contacted whom the end result was the receiver was prevented from having a shot at catching the ball. On the lateral, there was no reason to challenge at that point because it was a positive play for the D. If I were to choose though I would have challenged the lateral because that was clearly an easy win and would have made it second and a whole pile of yards.

Love the gutsy win, but I'm just saying the rule book specifically states the following:
A player shall be penalized for any act of Unnecessary Roughness to the passer, including but not limited to:
(b) Any blow to the neck or head of the passer,
(f) Contacting the passer if either the initial source of contact, or primary source of contact, is the defender's helmet.Whether or not Bridge was inside the pocket is irrelevant, if it's a hit to the head, or even if the defender leads with their helmet - it's a penalty.

It's on page 57.
Only if the official(s) can see it

Thanks Jason. Very classy post and I couldn’t agree more with your comments... including the hit. I hope Brandon is okay.

I can see Jeffcoat being suspended for that hit
He won’t. If Willis didn’t he shouldn’t. Just a fine.

Ahahaha, ohhh man I am loving this ending the playoff drought in Regina
And watch RF melt down over a nothingburger hit on their QB
It was a penalty but the ref couldn’t see it so there isn’t much he could do. Good tough win.
-
Again, I am not gonna cry over it but guys being so sure of the call I think are fooling themselves a bit. The live call was incomplete and the video replay is 100% inconclusive because at key points the ball and therefore any concept of control or lack thereof are obstructed. The bits I see Rogers doesn’t bobble or lose control until after he is down so in my opinion it should be a TD.
-
As much as I hate the Riders, the thought of going East or BC finishing above us is far less desirable. So I want Saskatchewan to win or tie today and Calgary and Winnipeg to win next week. That will force BC East and Winnipeg to go to Saskatchewan. I really don’t want to go East or face BC. Mosaic and Calgary are tough places to play but both teams offences are far less scary.
-
With respect to the controversial TD, live from my seat he looked he dropped it. Later watching the replay he clearly scored. However, it was a nice bit of karma for us considering they got a win here two years ago on a bogus call.

I’m glad Streveler got more meaningful reps, hopefully, he gets more work because he needs it.

👁🗨 seems weird that a BC victory tonight will get them a playoff berth. Gotta beat the right teams..
It has nothing to do with who they play. If BC wins they win the season series and the best that Edmonton can do with one game left is tie BC and Winnipeg.

Crossover? Not yet...
Record Opponents
Winnipeg - 8-7 vs Sask, bye, vs Calgary, at Edmonton
BC Lions - 7-7 at Calgary, vs Edmonton, at Sask. vs Calgary
Edmonton - 7-8 vs Ottawa, at BC, bye, vs Winnipeg,
If the Bombers win their next game and BC and Edmonton lose then the BC v. Edmonton game during the bye should eliminate one of the two.

I forgot we play them the last game. Oh well.
If Winnipeg wins next week and BC and Edmonton lose then one of the two could be eliminated when they meet the following week. BC loses they are gone if Edmonton loses then they'll be gone.

Interesting interview with Harvey explaining his comments.
Still don’t think these things should be said in the media regardless of if you are answering a question honestly. Some things are best kept behind closed doors.
Yeah. He can paint it however you like it is the fastest way to a poison work environment. Again, you can criticize but the best way is in a general way. My understanding is that Jennings works as hard as anyone else on that team.
This reminds me when Bauer and Kelly went after Simpson in the press. Dicks.

Remind me about the 'dominant' Western teams' record has worked out for them in the last ten years of Grey Cups...?
I guess you missed the sarcasm

I'm still cheering for the crossover... it so much easier path to the Grey Cup...
Because Western teams have such a great record in the cross-over. There is no way in heck I wanna go through Ottawa and Hamilton. No thanks.

Really think Reilly is pretty banged up. This OL is not helping him at all. Still all in all if he does not throw that interception to Jefferson they win IMHO. I think Edmonton will be easier to beat that the Riders in Regina if it comes to that for us.
The Esks can’t get 2nd, I don’t think and thus right now the road to GC is through Saskatchewan right now. I’m okay with that. Though I agree I would rather face Edmonton.
-
I don’t have much of an issue with calling out the different groups of players on the team. Being general in your criticism is not a bad thing. However, that should be the duty of the coach. The GM should STFU because that is just toxic to the workplace

Walters crapped the bed on receivers. I can’t see Winnipeg competing in the West without greatly improving their receivers and special teams returners.
