I can't see any scenario where we lose another game this year.

I'll take my knowledge of he game and the confirmation from Doug Brown and Bob Irving on the CJOB call as to it being a purposeful snap over your conjecture, especially considering how often you've been demonstrably wrong in the last couple days.

When does Jones get a time out? He's an embarrassment to the league so far this season.
edit: lol, I love Riderfans when **** goes sour. Highlights from there regarding this fine (paraphrasing)
-It's not Jones' responisbility to watch out for this kinda thing
-Rider fans should stop going to other teams games to send a message to the league (and that message is the riders should be allowed to cheat?!?)
-Fire the commissioner

That was not a mistake, quite the opposite. The Argos jumped offside, and centres are instructed to snap the ball when that happens to ensure the penalty. 

But you really don't know do you?

Random thoughts in no particular order…

-          Truthfully I was nervous heading into this game. Having momentum after two wins, and on the road facing a back up QB – It would have been “so Bombers” to have gone into Toronto and lose that football game.

-          As Milt Stegall has said time and again, “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.”

-          Not a lot going the Bombers way early on. No pressure, offensive line struggles, no run game, dropped passes, and bad throws and decisions with the ball.

-          Over the final 30 minutes different story…Pressure leads to sacks and turnovers, the offensive line starts making holes for Harris and buying Nichols time, and Nichols in turn starts making better decisions and more accurate throws.

-          Sticking with Nichols, he’s obviously playing the best football of his career right now. His career stats aren’t pretty. Neither was his performance last season down the stretch. That said, whether it’s scheme fit (which in my personal opinion it is), or having a chip on his shoulder – His numbers over the last three games speak for themselves, even if he does have a few dangerous throws a game the puts your heart in your throat.

-          It’s funny in hindsight how Clarence Denmark was perceived as not good enough to be a member of this football club this year. Even more amusing is how he was perceived to not be good enough for the Riders this year or their four practice squads…

-          It really is amazing how Travis Bond has helped solidify this offensive line. Not only has his work been outstanding, but his ability to do his job (and do it well) has allowed Mathias Goossen to have a strong last few games as well.

-          Speaking of Goossen, loved seeing him help Andrew Harris get those final few yards on that TD run which looked to be headed for disaster as he broke it outside.

-          Despite limited reps, Shayon Green still taking bad penalties.

-          For all the hype he’s gotten at various points in his young career, Jace Davis just isn’t getting it done, especially at a time when almost everyone else is stepping up with others going down.

-          A defensive secondary with Adams, Fogg, Loffler, Johnson, and Randle…Pick your poison. Hope to see our two regular corners back after the bye (nothing against Frederick – Roberts clearly the weakest of the current bunch).

-          Quite the difference in playcalling over the past few weeks versus the earlier stages of the year. Gone are the five hitch passes a game which everyone sees coming. Here now is play-action passes which attack the opposing secondary in a variety of ways.

-          Kevin Fogg – Not sure what can be said that’s any different from the glowing endorsements he’s received. He’s a gamer.

-          Euclid Cummings quietly had a good game. Was often collapsing the middle of the pocket.

-          I’ve really been impressed with the discipline shown by our DB’s as of late. How many illegal contact penalties have we had over the last month?

-          Special teams in all facets has been really impressive lately. Not just the returns and lack of penalties, but also limiting the return game of other clubs.

-          For all the questioning about his punting ability, I’d say Justin Medlock has done quite well lately, especially when it comes to directional punting.

-          At the end of the day, football is not a science. Protect the ball, and win the battles on both sides of the line of scrimmage – Something we’ve done very, very well over the past three weeks.

Chris Jones is a piece of ****. Upset at Dickenson for catching their team cheating.

That's pathetic. Jones should be suspended and the riders should forfeit their first round pick.

Nah this is just the whole league being jealous of SK dontchaknow?!  Ripper's said so. Pedersen's said so. Gainer's said so.  If the 3 most qualified football people in SK say so, then it must be true. 

but it is an analogy that falls flat. If you were comparing officers to coaches then yes I'd buy it. When a team stops listening to a coach that coach is finished, but players and other players, those fences get mended quickly when the performance is there. QB might be a leader on the field but he's still just one of a dozen players on the field. 

True, having depth does reflect poorly on the head coach...

Mike why do you even bother trying?

Can you cash in leftover cap space in November for points in the standings?
 
If the answer is no, cutting Drew Willy simply to let Davis/Bennett move up the depth chart would be incredibly irresponsible management for a team that is very much in contention for a playoff spot right now.

You got sick of the constant play stoppages and general lack of action... so you switched to baseball?
