We could make a great team between our two rosters

Jets are buying more UFA years from Trouba assuming he signs long term.
UFA contracts simply cost more than RFA

Chant several psalms noted for their lamentation themes, wallow in general suckiness and drink a case of bud prohibition to beat the heat. 

You do realize that the other team is comprised of professionals that are paid to make plays, right.  Even the best defense in the world (and that is certainly not a Richie Hall defense) gets scored on.  BC managed 20 points in 60 minutes.  This one was on the O.  Not completely of course, but certainly the lion's share.

I know they're fresh off extensions, and I like them both, but if they don't make playoffs Wade Miller may very well clean house. 
The season is already hanging in the balance 

Why is everyone so chicken of Lulay? 🐔
Guys played 25 games in the last 4 years, missed TC, hasn't had a chance to get familiar with the first team and is coming off an injury that will certainly hinder his mobility.
I must be in the minority but I would be way more nervous about Jennings having a bounce back game against us 
 
 

Is it because his name rhymes with ‘BOO!!!’?

Lulay>Jennings
But Lulay hasn't played any meaningful games in almost a year. Gotta think it'll take him at least a half to get back into the rhythm. I would rather play him now instead of 3 weeks from now 
And that left side of their OL is going to get blown up.
I think this is the perfect scenario for us honestly.

I love that everyone is talking about Hardrick’s personality and the nastiness of Goossen and Chungh... meanwhile Stanley Bryant just continues to quietly be the best o-lineman in the league... he’s the reigning MOOL and he basically gets zero recognition... I get the feeling that’s the way he likes it...

And for everyone complaining about our defence, we’re number two in points against among the five teams that have played four games, and still middle of the pack in the entire league despite four teams only having played three games. Obviously our defence needs a lot of work, but it’s not the only one that does. 

Why are we scared of Edmonton? They got lucky to come out of here with a win in Strevlers first career start. 

We haven't missed Bond in the least.. sure he was good...but not the main piece that held this group together.
Oline play and being dominant is a lot of times due to familiarity and cohesion between a group of guys who have spent a lot of time together as a group which this group has. 
Factor in that chungh..Bryant.. goose and Hardrick are all top shelf talents and well you have basically the best line in the league..they trust each other...know each others tendancies and work off it.
The beauty of it is they will/should all be back again next yr if we want them so things will continue on the same way.
I gotta mention that Hardrick has been dominant this year..takes his blocks to the extreme and just doesn't let his guys go..send them into the next level consistently..he is one of the straws that stirs the oline's drink and his attitude and edge is a big part of the oline's personality..love that guy out on the field

Not to take anything away from our D because they played a great game, but Jennings missed a lot of easy throws and was flat out terrible. It's easy to look good when you're playing QB's as bad as Jennings or Willy. 
We need to have a game like this against Reilly, BLM or even Trevor Harris.

HH - Mike Miller doing his best Danny Amendola by laying out for a beauty 6 yarder.....FBs aren't supposed to make those.

Awful timing.  Bombers finally have the royal blues everyone wants and now we're due for jersey re-do #2189041 since I've been born.

Hamilton at Saskatchewan:  CFL - Game Notes
The Riders come into this matchup with Hamilton with a 3-game winning streak over them and with wins in 4 of the last 5 games played in Regina. Their sweep over Hamilton in 2017 was built on a 6-2 edge in Turnovers and having built a 17-point lead in each contest. Brandon Bridge's only 2017 QB start was against the Ti-Cats in September.
       -👁‍🗨 They’ll need more than 6 turnovers to win this one
Jeremiah Masoli 300+: Comes into this week with 8 consecutive 300-yard passing games, can pass Mike Reilly (2015-16) and Anthony Calvillo (2012) and move into a tie with record holders Sam Etcheverry (1956) and Kent Austin (1991) who each masde it to 9 games in a row of 300+ passing yards. Masoli has thrown just 4 interceptions in his 291 pass attempts during his 8-game run and his 70.5% completion % is well above Etcheverry's and Austin's in their streaks. 👁‍🗨 I see a record tie coming up...
At 348.3 yards per game thus far, Masoli is on pace for a 6,270-yard season - well above the Hamilton club record of 5,367 yards set by Henry Burris in 2012. The 6k passing mark has only ever been reached 5 times in all of CFL history and not since 2004 (Calvillo, 6,041 yards).
Hamilton at 2-1: The Ti-Cats were last at 2-1 to start a season back in 2009 - they had a streak of 8 consecutive seasons across 2010 to 2017 in which they were NOT above .500 through their first three games.
- Hamilton 2nd halves: The last two games, the Tiger-Cats have allowed just 7 points in each 2nd half and have a 29-14 edge.
- Saskatchewan Defence / Two-&-Outs: The Riders forced Montreal into 13 Two-&-Outs last week - that is the most by any CFL team in almost 5 years dating back to Winnipeg's 14 Two-&-Outs on Sep 27/13 vs BC. The total of 21 outs in the MTL-SSK game last week was just 3 short of the most since the CFL began to track them in 2007 (CFL record 24, 2 times).
- Saskatchewan slow starts: A Rider loss this week would mean a fourth consecutive season at 1-3 or less after 4 games. Since 2015, they have been much stronger in the second half of the year. In the first 9 games over that period they are a combined 7-23 .233, and yet have raised that to a 12-15 .444 mark over the second half of those three seasons (2015-17).
- 4 Interceptions: The Riders tossed 4 interceptions last week - the most by a Saskatchewan team since Aug 20/16 (5 Ints vs HAM). - 13: Namaan Roosevelt was targeted 13 times last week, one short of his career-high of 14. He extended his reception streak to 38. - Messam: Suited up for the Riders but did not get a single carry for the first time since September 21, 2014 (a run of 59 games). - Brett Lauther: Made all 3 FGAs last week to run his streak to 8 (since missing his first attempt of the year). Leads CFL with 8 FGs. - Charleston Hughes: Added his 103rd Career Sack last week and leads the CFL with 4. He is two short of a tie for #10 all-time.
- Larry Dean: Leads the Ti-Cats with 17 tackles thus far, good for #4 in the CFL through Week #3. He is #4 with 22 Defensive Plays.
- Christion Jones 3K: To Week #3 leads the entire CFL in Combined Yards with 531 and on pace for a 3000+ yard season. Only one other Rider has ever had more than 3,000 yards in a single season - Corey Holmes in 2005 with a club record 3,455 yards. JOnes rtanks #3 in the CFL in both punt return average (14.5) and kickoff return average (24.3).
- 5 Receivers only: Last week, the Ti-Cats threw to only 5 different players - the lowest total since 2007 (data available to then).
- Top 6 CFL Receivers: The Ti-Cats focus on so few receivers in 2018 means that they have 3 of the Top 6 and 5 of the CFL's Top 14 leaders. Hamilton's running backs have been targeted only 6 times all season with just 3 receptions.
- Shaq Evans: Despite having only 12 targets, Evans leads the Riders with 133 receiving yards. He is 2-of-4 on deep 20+ yard passes. - Brandon Banks: Posted a CFL-high 16 target last week, the most by any CFL player since S.J. Green had 18 in Week #3 last year.
- Banks II: Over his last 13 starts, Banks has averaged 92.8 yards per game - equivalent to 1,670 yard pace for a full season.
- 12 in a row: Lirim Hajrullahu's made FG streak is now up to 12 in a row, just 3 short of his career-long run of 15 straight (2016).
- Few Close Games: Of the 14 Riders-Ti-Cats meetings since 2011, just two have been decided by 4 points or less.
- Slow starts: A Rider loss this week would mean a fourth consecutive season at 1-3 or less after 4 games.
- Red Zone: Hamilton has cashed in on 6-of-8 Red Zone chances while the Riders have gone 2-of-4 inside the 20-yard line.
 
 

Carter is going to get destroyed but unfortunately that'll be the end of his DB days. He'll be a receiver in 2 weeks and sadly that actually makes them a lot stronger.

If MOS doesn't do something with the D, forget Hall, he's going to put his own job in peril.

Dumb shits do what dumb shits do. The one sequence in particular just shows how bad an idea him playing corner is... He gets beat but the safety comes over and saves his ass by breaking up the pass but Carter turns around and takes a completely stupid roughing penalty to move Montreal down the field. Just unreal how a guy can do **** like that and his coach still happily says he's playing the position. Any other db in the league played like Carter does they'd have been cut a long time ago. 

I'm never a fan of upper management intervening, but this is just ridiculous that I had to vote yes
Halls soft D hasn't changed or evolved at all. Almost every play theres a receiver with no one around him for 5 yards

I'm going to be real pissed if Duron is back on D again next week. Has zero know-how at the position. Jones will prove to be arrogant and stubborn if he doesn't stick him at offence.

The refs have had absolutely no effect on the riders losing this game. They've been bad but it's definitely gone both ways
