I was so disappointed and frustrated watching how Hall schemed (or didn't) to stop the run. Watching Hurl repeatedly run straight into the Argo o-line (assignment sound I suppose ?), only to leave a massive hole for Wilder Jr to run through was maddening. Whenever I saw him whiff on tackles... good gravy I almost had a stroke from trying not to swear in front of my poor parents. We've definitely got some ballers on this D... but they're handcuffed by dead weight and a dud scheme.

Most disrespected 10-4 team last week most disrespected 11-4 team this week...

It's like Awe only knows how to tackle by leading with his helmet. Pretty nasty collision. Also didn't like how Harris was hit again when he clearly had no helmet... as he was pretty much down by contact at that point.

That's about how a lot of us feel about the injuries... imho a loss isn't the lesser of two evils in this case. It's not like we won *because* our guys got injured. I'd also like to thank you for using devastated instead of decimated. They're both over used in sports but at least the one makes sense in context. Decimation is simply the division of something by ten and then removing one. Well ok if four or five players off the 44 got hurt in a game then yeah I suppose ?

Denmark was targeted three times The first throw was off target, or he wasn't where he should have been. Second pass he dropped Third pass caught for nine yards... and that was it

What you really mean is that we should all be glad everyone has grown beyond expectations in their respective jobs. Walters the "did Wade reeeeeeally look for anyone else" GM and Matt "if we're trotting him out in 2018" Nichols have all grown, learned and done their part to turn this team into a true contender. O'Shea as well - it's not like the Bombers are 10-3 *despite* the head coach. But if all you meant is that Walters and Nichols work well with O'Shea... then cheers! ?

Reilly couldn't handle poop coming right at him, so many of his passes were a bit off... that or he would turn away from poop and right into a hit from our DE's

Outstanding post - thanks MrDee! I'd like to contend that there was plenty of Poop in the middle, allowing our DE's to do their thing...

Apparently that one holding call was on Neufeld... not sure if he was lined up as a tight end on that play though.

Chris Jones is both a goon and a prima-donna, and it shows in the personality of his team. Personal preference aside the score against Calgary flattered the Riders, and they barely beat a hobbled RedBlacks team that the Bombers handily kicked to the curb. Toronto over Sask and it shouldn't even be close, especially if the weather is not to KG's liking!

The police stabbing is madness. Not to be gruesome but that's the only thing that's stood out in regards to Edmonton traffic these days. Since the days started getting short it seems there's a traffic fatality in this town almost every day ?

Dude my 70+ year old parents know to switch the TV to the program guide and see which TSN channels are showing which games. They're clearly labeled, and let us skip off the OT of the Hamilton Toronto game (meh) and start watching the Bombers.

Fantastic team effort, especially when the long range artillery attack (Medlock) wasn't there. Going into this game, it seemed like the Bombers were the most disrespected 9-3 team in cfl history. A lot of questions on defence answered tonight. Pressure on Reilly and winning a lot of those deep throws were great to see. We knew Lapo vs Benevides was going to be good. Hall vs Walch was damn entertaining too!

Just to be clear - according to the depth chart Nevis starts while poop is a healthy scratch (again)??

Nichols first TD pass to Adams (wiped out by penalty) and then the 75 yard score to Adams were both absolute beauties... and in a torrential downpour no less! Makes me think some his long pass misfires may be more of a case of big eyes and a little over excitement, as opposed to any talent deficit.

At least Santos-Knox draws in, but really I'm just ready for this game! All the roster talk, moves and drama pales in comparison to seeing our team just go out there and get a win. Longest bye week ever!

Wiecek has mastered the incredibly annoying ability to both sneer and wring his hands at the same time. Nice to hear that jag off is still napalming his smoldering wreck of a bridge to the team ?

We may never know, but it would be cool to hear Lapo's thoughts on Thorpe leaving. I also thought he fit our offense perfectly. The considerations for Lankford on kick returns (which some of us don't necessarily agree with) kept Thorpe off the gameday roster, and forced Lapo to play the inferior receiver.

I dislike both teams intensely, but at this juncture I absolutely refuse to posit that the Riders winning is the lesser of two evils. Besides, the angel on my shoulder tells me the best outcome is for Bo Levi Mitchell to recognize that the Riders "are discovering what kind of team they are" and that he's going to "continue showing them that" ?

Good God admin pls delete lol sorry folks

You highlighted the answer to your own question. The sask db was trailing Adams when the trip happened. By the wording, inadvertent or deliberate is irrelevant in this case. If you chase and trip, penalty and that's that. Is it a good rule? Not certain but it seems the call was correct on the Adams PI.

This isn't the Cleveland Indians and Chief Wahoo for crying out loud. This must be Rod Pedersen masquerading as a real life journalist... only he or another rider fan would play the victimized minority card. There are real politics and real issues in society that actually struggle with. The 98.7% (my random guess) Caucasian rider fan base doesn't count, and no I don't think taxpayers should have to shell out for their cosmetic dental surgeries ?

Doesn't surprise me that people are downplaying the 4 decibel difference in peak loudness. Newsflash for the unwashed - decibel level isn't a linear measurement (quadratic logarithm)! 108 vs 104 is so much louder that Mosaic isn't even close.
