Man. Give them another possession? To start the half? man, you have to be confident that your defence has fixed their problems to do that.

Castillo sucks

It’s official for me: Sergio Castillo has missed too many point Afters… I think it’s three now. Any Grace that was being offered has now evaporated. he just needs to be better.

This.

“I doubt it,” Riders’ head coach Craig Dickenson said. “I don’t think it was that bad, but we’ll have to see. “I didn’t see it, so I can’t comment”… So, he says he didn’t think it was that bad but then immediately adds that he didn’t see it.… okay. Could you make a dumber statement?

The non-challenges plus the decision to take the ball on our 40 rather 30 and give up the point that would ultimately cost us the game were multiple instances of terrible coaching.

We challenged nothing

Yes! Thank you! I forgot this. But I thought exactly the same thing… Like what is it going to take to throw the damn flag?!

This. It’s clear we completely do not trust our punt returner. How long till Janarion gets back?

I think focussing on how we got the jobbed by the refs is weak. I hate it when the rider fans do that every time their team loses. And make up huge conspiracy theories about the bombers being favoured... Like WTF? tinfoil hat city! Let’s not stoop to that level, shall we? no, the rules are there… If we believe the ref has made an incorrect call, we have a tool to address that. We just don’t use it. So the focus has to be on the coaching not the refs.

This is possibly a bit dramatic. 🙂 That said, I mean I remain genuinely perplexed as to why we don’t not use all the tools in the arsenal. It’s almost like he feels using your challenge on a close play is sucky or something? ? Or, what? Can someone explain to me why we don’t use it earlier in the game on the Schoen catch? I mean we might’ve lost but it certainly look like he caught the ball. And speaking of Mr. Schoen, he dropped yet another ball right in his hands late in the first half that took 3 pts off the board for us. Love the guy but he has had a few critical drops this year… Like, I mean a pro receiver just can’t drop in that situation.

So you’re saying even if you don’t use your challenges during the regular game time, they don’t carry over to overtime?

True we did not have sufficient pressure to disrupt Doladinga. Plus why not challenge that sideline pass to Schoen. In first half I mean. It feels like our coach saves his challenge flags… But for what?

Why the f:&* did MOS not challenge the 2 convert? Or can’t he?

This. just way, way too early to be making any firm judgements on Brown. Except that he did show tremendous potential in his game in Edmonton. Which is more than you can say for the vast majority of rookie QBs who come in. Many come in and if they have any success at all it is because they just run, run, and run (see Crum) but that is not what he did. So I’d say we should all just take a breath… 😊

Nice to win.. but, boy, what a stinker,

I agree that we have not gone to the run enough. But on a lot of those play action… The RPO stuff, it looks like Brown is pulling the ball rather than giving it to Brady. He then looks very indecisive. I am not sophisticated enough to do an analysis of bucks playcalling. I do know that buck calls the plays for Collaros and then he looks quite good. I also think Brown has often had time and has had the happy feet.

It’s official. #6 is struggling.

The defense… Who needs offence?

Dammit! Give the ball to Brady!

Brown just tripled his yardage

That’s two weeks in a row now coach doesn’t throw his challenge flag and it cost us points.

Does barker realize that he is miked up and the mic is this amazing thing that carries his voice through the TV networks across the nation?

I’m thinking we just keep running the ball until they demonstrate they can stop Brady.. Like why even throw on first down? When Brady’s picking up for 5, 7, 12 yards each run?

Your comment suggests that you believe that O’Shea had nothing to do with the decision to only bring Leggio and Mourtada back to camp in ‘22. In other words, that that decision was 100% on Walters? Given the tightness between those two gentlemen and the degree to which the GM respects the head coach , I think it is extremely doubtful that the coach didn’t tell the GM that he was satisfied with bringing those 2 back to camp and rolling with one of them. They clearly make those sorts of decisions together. That then is my explanation to your question: I am assuming they made the decision together not to pursue options other than Leggs. And this is the way in which O’Shea shares at least 50% responsibility for the decision. K, it’s official… I’m done complaining now.
