USABomberfan Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Going to be a big one here. It's kind of a win-win either way you look at it for us. If SSK wins, we share 1st place in the west .... well depending on what happens in Sat night in Calgary. But if the Esks win, at least the Riders fall a bit further behind and will have a tougher time getting back in the division race. Esks still fighting through injuries but they are one resilient team. Going to be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Eskimos are also getting some players back tonight, including Zylstra and Sewell. Should be interesting to see who takes this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, not that Marshall would gash em anyway considering he's not Harris, but his return certainly means the Riders run game will have a more difficult time.

Noeller Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Esks, with their current roster, aren't very good. Riders just aren't very good, period. Not sure who I'm cheering for in this one...hoping they can somehow both lose. As long as both teams look like ****, I'll be happy....

It'll be interesting seeing him go up against Derek Dennis who's now playing inside at G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight is a big test for the Riders getting a road win against a western division team, they gotta be more consistent.

Last week at OG he dominated Brooks (whom IMO is top 3 DT's in the league). Case in point the Marshall TD from the 1yard line where he pancaked Brooks who was injured on the play. And yes the Riders did lose big against the Lions the week previous, good teams rebound after tough losses and win big. That's what the Riders did.

Riders did trounce the Lions, no doubt. But that was after losing by 15 to them the week before. Back-to-backs aren't really indicative of your team's overall play, IMO.

And you beat the Lions one out of two games. And the Riders have been extremely consistent on the road against west teams. They lose every time.

One game does not a season make, be it for a player or a team. Full marks to the Riders on their big win two weeks ago but your claim they're a good team because of that one win is absurd. Like I said, take off the homer goggles. Or just get lost altogether. Mr Dee and Al Bundy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They recently each wore a ssk polo to a family wedding. His wife had mustard on hers, even at the church. By half way through dinner, she had gravy and salad dressing splattered, as well. Left it all there all night. Topics of conversation with them are limited to pizza, riders, Chinese food, new stadium, their love of Trudeau, Wal Mart deals, and darian durant. That's it. No range. No intelligence. You mention travel, they mention rider wear in Phoenix. Mention a business topic, they mention how successful the fans have made franchise. Guess what they buy each other for Christmas? Yup! Their house looks like the inside of a rider merch outlet. Picture frames with the kids but the frame is S, as in the logo. The vehicle has floor mats, seat covers from Greenland also. They mention Trudeau, and accuse you of being a racist because you disagree. They are the complete example of no ability to have a conversation.
