The Riders have to stop relying on their D to save their butt. I had to laugh when homer Suitor was commenting Zack was looking like he did in ‘15. He is far from that form. He isn’t getting much help though. Edmonton’s OL is brutal and Reilly is playing like Matt did in the Bomber’s losing streak. Lots of forcing the ball.

Did anyone else see offside on Ottawa during our last play, on offence, in regulation? It was the play where Nichols got sacked and we had to punt. They showed the replay, but it was from behind Ottawa’s line, so I saw I guy jump, but couldn’t tell if he was off. Live, it definitely looked like he was offside.
Yes. They were offside by half a yard on that play and the one before it.

I thought Ottawa's defense had made plenty of dirty plays throughout the night...
That’s Noel Thorpe and Campbell for you.

I also felt they jobbed Adams of a catch because of the lack of camera angles.
I thought it was pretty clear he caught it. You can never leave it up to the challenge though because they are very inconsistent.

I thought Adams was pretty sharp tonight. He finally made some catches under duress.

Not sure if its that one or the Ellingson catch... Where the ball obviously hit the ground.. Ball even moved when it did. Ellingson trapped it.
I think they got Ellinson’s catch right but they did screw that one spot up because Sinopoli had the ball facing back but the spot was where his back went out. They also missed the Ottawa consecutive offsides on Tydall’s 2 big stops.

Man, do we ever like to make things hard on ourselves...
No joking. They scratched that one out.

Well it appears that they have choked

Manziel looks like he's starting to figure the CFL game out. He's starting to not out think himself, being comfortable & not being an automaton. He was letting his athletic ability make plays.
I really think he has the potential to do well here (in the CFL) he just needs a whole lot of help which he just doesn’t have there.

Really? In the BC - Ham game earlier in the day they pulled starters -- Jennings for sucking and Masoli to, I assume, protect him going forward.
Would have rather seen LaFrance pounding the ball late. Would have liked to see Streveler get some reps late.
It may be true about Dickenson but I'd still suggest it's not smart. These QBs may be looking to pad statistics and risking injury to get garbage stats is foolish.
Let's agree to disagree. All good.
How coaches refuse to pull starters is really a head scratcher. In 2007 Berry had plenty of opportunity to give Dinwiddie some hard reps but he left Glenn in. That came back to bite the Bombers when the were forced to start their inexperienced #2 and he made an inexperienced move that cost the Bombers a cup. Right now there are at least three teams that need to give their #2’s reps. Winnipeg isn’t one BUT you do it when you can because if you aren’t giving your backups the reps they need when their mistakes can’t hurt you then your chances of them hurting you when it really counts only goes up.

Poor Dressler has been relegated to the role of 'the fly sweep guy' nice going Lapo you stiff.
They don’t run any hot passes so yeah that’s how they will us him. Especially when Demski is out.

Time to remember who all said Edmonton was beatable... and time to see how many trolls DON'T show up this week...
It was always about if the Winnipeg D showed up. I thought it would come down to our secondary but Richie found a way to dial up the pressure.

One of the things I was hearing from O'Shea was that he was trying to answer the question without giving anything away that another team (Edmonton) could use against us. I can't blame him for that.
MOS and any other coach that thinks that are stupid. Not being clear on what you are trying is one thing but explaining how things have been failing isn't giving anything away because it is all on film. I have no clue why they interview this fool.
-
He did? I wouldn’t be surprised he is an old generation coach.

Until BC actually wins that game in hand we still have the tie breaker on them and I don't put them ahead of us.
They have won the last three games at hand. So, both teams need to keep winning.

I’d go Flanders in for Wild
That would be my suggestion too but I don’t see MOS doing it.

Looks like they've moved Priester to the PR...
Fogg in Priester out and if that new returner is in means Flanders is unlikely. We’ll have to see what the depth charts say.

If Demski is indeed out for this game they need to get Flanders on the roster NOW, otherwise there was no point holding him in reserve all season long. He can rotate half-time with Petermann in Demski's slot and Petermann can fill in for Thomkins or Dressler when Flanders takes the field to maintain the ratio.
They have to sit an international to play Flanders

My original post has nothing to do with the scenario "proven" starter struggling and giving more playing time to the back-up.
It has to do with using all your weapons strategically at your disposal, in this case at your QB position, and has nothing to do with who is proven.
It has to do with keeping the D off balance imo.
I know I was just saying that unless a team doesn’t have a #1 that has never happened in the CFL since I started watching in 1976. So if it hasn’t been common practice don’t expect to be common practice...ever.

Did he run off with your wife?
You're shtick is getting old. Can you at least keep you incessant bitchong and moaning out of a positive thread?
Do you go through life and piss on every parade you come across? Do you just walk around and shout and shake your fist at random clouds?
He's not wrong. Remember how people were asking for the the head of Marcel B or Berry? They had similar head coaching records. MOS has a middling record and hasn't even managed to win a playoff game. Yet people seem to think that this team is somehow better than their record and can win out. What makes people think that? What makes you think that MOS has earned to continue his middling ways?

I agree with your statement on the EE Defence.
However Mike Reilly will keep his offence on the field far more than Johnny Manziel did. The trick is going to be shutting down Reilly’s explosive plays. The guy can step up and deliver that 40+ yard toss right into the hands of his receiver in full stride. No one has the arm strength to throw the ball like Reilly right now. Except maybe Streveler. So Richie no playing cover zero. Keep that safety in the middle to help out. Otherwise Reilly’s 50-50 bombs become more like 70-30.
Got my PVR all set up for the game on Saturday. Work till 6PM but won’t miss a play. Tough to beat the Esks at Common Wealth.
When has our safety ever played over top?

Whatever happened to the days that you could use both QB's strategically without fear of melting a snowflake.
Pretty much never unless you have no "proven" starter.

We are back in full control of our future with Edmonton losing. I don’t see 2nd place being realistic but it is not out of the question. Ultimately though just winning games is all that matters now for the next four weeks. That is all they can control.
