How many concussions has each player had..... that's the biggest factor in it all. Burris is old as dirt but he's in much better physical health then Buck despite being old and playing more games.

It makes no sense to trade for Tate in my opinion, he is an improvement over Pierce but I'd rather we find someone a bit more durable.

I also learned how well behaved the Bomber fans are compared to some really raunchy Hamilton and Edmonton fans at the game.... surprisingly the Rider fans have been some of the better opposition fans I've met at a game. Kids should be fine!

Doug Berry is also involved in the Montreal offense ... yet for some reason it still doesn't resemble anything he ran with us or with Calvillo in the old days...

The thing is though is that Edmonton was putrid during the rain, they couldn't move the ball at all and Hamilton kept winning the battle of field position. When it was dry , Edmonton was torching Hamilton badly. If we can get Simpson going or have him sent out in the flats or even quick hitters to Etienne or any of our guys... I can see the offense really putting up big numbers. As 17 said if we can't get the O going against Hamilton's defense then we truly have failed badly this year.

From what I saw... Reilly can't play in the elements... I think he made maybe 20 yards passing in the 3 quarters that it was wet. But when it was dry he could make the good dump off passes down low. Odell sucks.. for his 1 good play he had 5 bad ones.... it was comical on how bad Edmontons tackling was... that one play where Burris shrugged off at least 5 guys and was in the pocket for 10 seconds before someone brought him down would of been great to watch with the benny hill theme music. Shaw sucked at punting... Lamarr sucked at holding onto the ball. Hamilton has an atrocious defense... dline only has 1 sack in 2 games and the lb'ers were getting burned all day long. The offense looked very meh, Burris made his typical brain farts and the running game seemed pedestrian. I think we have a shot at winning next week (all depending on Buck playing at an average level).

According to rider fans Kent Austin can do no wrong lol

So many undisciplined penalties in this game

Odell sucks should of had Burris there

Reilly sucks in the rain they haven't moved the ball since the brain started. Burris then throws two horrible balls lol.

Edmonton can't play in rain for shite

Odell was way offside on that play

So many stupid penalties taken by both teams

This will be fun to watch that rain is coming down really hard.

Lol that was awesome! Hamilton had made lots of mistakes this is great! Hope they play like this all season

That guy who replaced fantuz has hurt them badly twice. This is great to watch!

It was refreshing to see a qb actually look off his primary receiver and make a strong hard throw to his 2nd read. Also did you know if the other team blitzes and you immediately dump it off 5 yards away that eventually the defense will stop runnign the blitz! One thing I noticed from this game from the half I watched was the horrible horrible ref job done by Glen Johnson and company. Some absolutely atrocious holding going on with the o-line and zero flags thrown. Maybe I'm not aware of the rules, but for face masking does the player have to be holding the ball because I saw lots of Saskatchewan o-line grabbing and pulling down on the Calgary d-lines face masks (and their arms) with zero flags being tossed.

Hank isn't made of glass and has a build, the problem with Tate is that he plays with reckless abandon and instead of taking a slide he'd rather go head first and take a big hit. Plus he moves around the pocket a lot more then most other qbs. Burris usually gets frazzled if you get in his face often and/or if if he has a few two and outs. He then forces his throws and that's when it's time to take advantage,

In Goltz we trust!

I only watched the first half but Hefney was getting owned badly. Also every pass underneath was an easy completion for Saskatchewan. Calgary seemed very out of synch. Saskatchewans dB's also looked very crappy. Tate looked great in the first quarter made buck look god awful.

Nik lewis also looks so fat and slow

The guy is money and unlike Pierce he only fumbled once!!!

Hefney also took a poor penalty earlier resulting in rider points. Tate looks million times better then Buck, he actually looks at mor then one receiver.

Define ready?He scores two TDs

Once again how many years does Goltz need before he is allowed to play
