Booch

1.. Gotta give the crowd credit.. that last Hamilton drive was in good part to them..Hamilton was frazzled and couldn't function at all...loudest I have heard it in a long time. 2..Biggie is a beast.. and he just brings out the best with rest of front 7 trying to match him..what an addition he was. 3..Harris...had a fumble but got the tough yards we needed and his fire pumps up others. My thoughts on Randle tho was yeah he had a bad game..he seemed to be too conscious on just keeping the little speedy receivers in sight and not getting burned deep and didnt want to look back at qb to see where ball was for fear of them getting away from him and him being in chase...and it burned him bad..on at least 3 occasions if he just played his usual game and turned to the play he breaks up the play and could have had 2 picks...oh well.. sure he will learn from it.

From my vantage point here Nichols is just looking off tonight. Not seeing open guys in the mid range and out wide and forcing things...should change it up with Strevs

Maybe we can pull a sask riders and say visiting locker room A.C is broke like they did lol

Yup..lol .I have

Reilly sure relies on just throwing it up there hoping for the best..they are not as good a team as their record shows..I think BC is a bit better and if Lulay stays healthy and they can tune up their lines a bit they aren't bad. On another note the win puts Sask in a tie for last in division and has to have them a bit worried

I'd be interested ..

Listening to Pederson makes you just want to stab yourself in the temple with something sharp...guys just a major tool

yeah watched it several times...you clearly see the ball and the point where the knee touches down..all the claims that you couldn't see the ball at all are B.S...First time I watched the reply during the game I said that he was down....and the fact the live mic on the sideline actually caught Watford saying he was down prior to crossing the line is just more confirmation the Command Center made the right call. The Harris TD against Montreal was called right as well....hard to tell if knee touched before he crossed as one angle it looked like it may have...and one angle looked like it didn't...so inconclusive means you can't over turn

I think the old spot..downtown..St B....would have been poor places...where it is I think is the best spot, and it's the only area of the city where the city can expand with proper infrastructure to sustain/service it...Working in the Civil Engineering/Land Development industry that is exactly where I and many I know would have built it based on forecasting..economic growth and population density, especially with majority of the population that will be new..younger families as well as to connect with the university aged crowd etc..etc... Revisit the issue in 5 to 8 years and see the only complaints will just be coming from the same people who feel they have been slighted from having their convenience now become a bit less convenient

I think too you may see more teams go the route of the Atlanta Falcons and a couple of other places and introduce the fan friendly pricing for concessions at their stadiums...an investment in the fan experience like that will pay big dividends and put more money in a teams pocket than is currently happening across N. America

Thing with football on any day a piss poor offense can own a good defense...and a poor defense can own a great offense...but it has to be looked at as a over all picture if you ask me. Some teams schemes match up better against other teams and vice versa and while still maybe give up more yards and points than another teams defense still win. 7 games in is a good marker of where you are at as a unit..and generally defenses from my experience trend upward whereas a lot of times offences may peak and trend down as teams learn their pro's and cons Currently as it stands We rank 2nd in points given up/per game..2nd in takeaways..3rd in TD's given up..1ST in sacks(tied)..3rd in net offence allowed..2nd in Yds against/per play..first in penalty yards against (one of most important if you ask me) and 2nd in points off of turnovers which I include in a defensive teams stats... So pretty good indicator of where this defense sits against other teams in the league and for the most part the couple teams hovering around us in the stats categories have played generally the same teams or weaker eastern teams for the most part so to say our results should be tempered because of opponent, then the Cgy's And Sask's of the league should have their defensive stats tempered as well because for the most part, both have played a schedule to date with the same weak offenses,

you can only play the teams on the schedule as you go...if the defense had continued the trend they were on, then yeah it would be a concern, but they seemed to tighten up and change their scheme....so I would dare to say they are much improved from the start of the season...we shall see

Maybe this is John Murphy's big chance to show he has the onions to do a G.M job...hahahahahaha....or finally have it exposed he has been riding on coat tails his whole career and is waaaayyyy overated

Not totally true...we sit 3rd in rushing yards against...and 4th in passing yards against....so basically in the top 3rd of the league in regards to yardage given up, and 2nd best in points given up....so the defense has actually improved and progressed as the season has gone on. I think something was said to Richie Hall...or perhaps "suggested" in terms of scheme and how personnel are deployed and has been reflected in the results the defense has put up the last 4 games..

we have 22 as well actually

yeah but if they win Sask is in last place in West lol

he's one good smack away from being out longterm again..

Interesting to that they claim their defense is soooooo exceptional and ours sucks...yet we have given up less points..28 less than them and after they have played same amount of games..

I said in a different post somewhere that's the reason I think they kept him off of the offence..as they know it sucks and he wont get any balls..and cause of it..pull stuff like this and fragment the team..looks like it's happening after 1 game back on offense lol

I think edmonton's crappy defense made Sask offense look better than it is/was Sask defense played well and is pretty good...but Reilly seemed more off than it being they made him look off...both teams tho have major discipline issues

Yeah his deep balls are just hope and prayers..and that last drive of game showed he doesnt have the kahonies to pull a game out..was pathetic Now wouldn't it be something if BC pulls out a win and the ol riders roll into their bye week in the west basement..

i would bet there are more fans living south of the Polo location than around it or north of it to be honest...it's just one areas convenience has now become a convenience to the fans for 50 yrs who had an inconvenient Polo location...whining for the sake of whining

hhahaahha

yeah was a good call they chimed in

halfway through first quarter and Rider faithful already whining that they are etting a screw over from the refs...paythetic fan base...poor teams make dumbe errors and take penalties...they need to learn to accept that
