ReginaLeader-Post - Sept 5
Cox, who intercepted the pass that was intended for Dressler, repeatedly referred to the penalty as “a bad call.” That likely will earn him a call from the CFL office.
Asked if the official told him why the flag was thrown, Cox replied: “He couldn’t tell me anything because I knew it (wasn’t a penalty). I didn’t touch (Dressler) after five (yards). He just made a bad call.”
I want to ask mr cox if he still wants to stick to that story...
Bombers have the ball on their 45 yard line. This first picture shows first contact about 6 yards later...
 

Not too bad. That could be let go.  ..........Then, a little more....

And....A little more contact

There's more....

And...a grab

The other pictures I took get grainier and grainier but they still show Coz's arm pulling down on Dressler and eventually turning him. Of course, this all happens in nano-seconds, but it clearly shows contact..the actual kind, not the no-contact kind that Cox swears never occurred.

We talked all offseason how we wanted to see the situation with Jones in Saskatchewan blow up and now that it has it's glorious! Rider fans are falling over themselves trying to explain how this could happen and they've landed on the most ridiculous of things to pin it on and the amount of mental gymnastics going on to try and find proof for that point is highly entertaining. Bombers in the mix for a playoff spot and Rider fans showing how truly and utterly insane and deluded they are... best CFL season ever!

Tweet those out to Cox, Pedersen, and all the other whining Riders fans! Heh.

My only knock on Nichols is I'd like to see him with a few more tds in the bank than what he's got right now,other than that I have no issues at all with his play. The guy has resurrected our season and ain't giving up the keys to the#1 spot any time soon.

With all the whining going on at Riderfans, I felt it pertinent to dig up this thread.  Led by the lead Admin, Rider_Stronson, there have been talks  over there of conspiracies, scams, incompetence, the worst reffed game in history all against the Riders because of a ticky-tack PI call on Cox late in the game.  It's funny that the Rider fans conveniently forget that the primary reason for their sole victory this season was due to a ticky-tack call on the Ottawa defender late in the game several weeks ago PLUS a questionable non-call on the Saskatchewan defender as I described above.  See evidence of the play below... 
But continue on with the never-ending conspiracies of how the league is out to get the Riders and how they never benefit from questionable calls. This train of thought is contradicted by the above video evidence.  In the end, bad or questionable calls tend to balance out over the course of a season for each team, including the Riders.
 
If I don't see any responses from Rider fans I will assume you will agree with me.

Dressler was pushed off his route for nearly 10 yards...that was a bad camera angle. Watch it again and see how far Dressler gets pushed towards the sideline...contact all the way.

He blamed Bagg for not succeeding on one of the 3rd down gambles.

Jones threw the league under the bus today, he is clearly more important and above this measly football league that is the oldest in north america

Iffy call? Maybe but it wasn't exactly the same as what didn't get called on the bombers earlier. There was a difference. Adams and receiver were hand fighting.... both were. Looked to Me like the one on dressler was more illegal contact but cuz ball thrown his way and catchable it was PI. Can complain about reffing... I could go on and on about all the illegal holds the riders oline gets away with or guys being 5 yards offside on some plays or illegal blocks on the punt return td but bottom line is.... those calls go both ways. Iffy calls all night long.... Blaming refs is easy but when you turn the ball over multiple times.... and lose your challenge on stupidly obvious plays... well you have nobody to blame but yourself.
 
Imo this was not one of the bombers better games in recent memory... the game was way closer than it should have been... bottom line .. good teams find ways to win... bad teams look for excuses when they lose 
 
You know what the difference between the bombers and riders are? When the bombers lose... O'shea takes the bullet for his team... doesn't look for excuses... Jones? Well... he either throws his players or refs or basically anybody but himself under the bus 

Mike Kelly won football games

Johnson sucks...definitely the weakest link. Can't tackle can't cover quits on plays but can take penalties.

Were we trying to be charitable???..I don't like our production once we hit the other teams end...Seems the play calling bogs us down and we desperately need a deep threat...I KNOW we can kick field goals ..I want to see sixes on the board...We also need to tighten up on D....Played too far off of the receivers and watched Durant play pitch and catch..This one was too close for my liking ...Hopefully the Banjo Bowl won't be as close and the riders get the worst beating of the year...Trounce those bu$$ers..

Nope I am finding  a bridge and ending it lol

If you wouldn't  mind...could you please ask him to pick 6 numbers between 1 to 49 then DM me with his choices?

Wins a win especially LDC but i hope the Bombers are not happy after this win, lots of work still needed with the offense and the db's were shredded today.

The halftime show will feature Chris Jones riding his motorcycle in the ring of death and if the Riders win the game he will wrestle a bear at mid field.

I actually agree with you on this. Rather they told Riders it can't happen, but I do see fines down the road.
This is, honestly, the stupidest ******* thing I have ever seen. Riders have now gone beyond Mike Kelly crazy.

based on Lapo's offense, Smith and Dressler here, and a quality OL, I think Durant would do really well right now and could walk in and take over immediately, plug n play. And I say that as a guy who has NEVER liked Durant at all....ever........but he'd be a step above Nichols for sure.

Fact of the matter is willy has not had a good oline from day one. In each of his first two years  he managed  early season victories while amassing massive damage along the way. He was broke down and had not recovered in the games he played this year. That was clear to the fans and especially  his teammates.  
He gave this team everything he had in year one and two. To start the year he was just a shell of what he was. He needs more time to regain that old form. He needs more time to work through his injury and trust his leg can once again take a hard shot. This is a mental hurdle he can come back from. Plenty of qbs have. Nichols has had the same battle in his career. We can afford Willy the rest of the season to sit and recover. We can revisit his contract in the offseason. We can allow him to battle for the starting position in training camp next year.
I hope this is how everything unfolds. This is how a classy organization would handle Willy.
 
 

I re-watched  the game yesterday and noticed a couple things.
Bond played left guard beside Stanley all game. 
If football was like hockey Westerman would have had 2 assists before the first half of the first quarter.
The hit/hurry on Glen that caused the Cole int and he forced Glenn into the arms of Sholagun for the sack.
He also rushed from the nose tackle spot on 1st and 2nd and long situations.
I'll add some more later.
