Judd Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) The 2017 esks remind me of the 2011 bombers. Started off on fire and everyone knew the team would fall back to earth at the half way mark and they did. Thankfully the 2017 Bombers don't give me that feeling Edited August 26, 2017 by Judd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USABomberfan Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Well, at least ex Bomber Watson is still making Ridirts have trouble bringing him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 The Riders are cocky bastards. Hopefully, that TD march by the Esks takes the wind out of their sails. Well, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly making Hajrallahu look a lot more like Paul McAllum with this. But damn ... Maas just seems to have his guys ill-prepared in general tonight.

Mr Dee Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 From my eyes Saskatchewan IS better prepared than the Eskis, and playing at a better pace. Of course, many subs for the Eskis might have something to do with it. That and the worst K/P performance this year doesn't help. Oh, yeah, and Mike Reilly flinging the ball anywhere but... Tough first half for the home team... and I don't see it changing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it doesn't get answered they have no consistent way to move the ball. He's not very accurate midrange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 And Edmonton would be better off not kicking. O'Neill is a disaster. That punt was so casual even though he flubbed the snap, zero urgency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy has assembled a very talented team there, as he has done wherever he has been stationed - he is a big reason why Calgary is as good as they are. One could argue that although they are less experienced Sask has a much superior defense to the Bombers as they do not really have any players playing who are known big liabilities in terms of talent level. They have done a good job of continually finding the best players and putting them on the field, rather than settling for players that are not as good but "known commodities". Bombers offence is going to have their hands full with this defense next week. On the flip side Glenn and Marshall could really tear up that soft Bomber D. I hope not, but you have to respect the fact that Sask is really tearing up an Edm team that has more of its players back than when Bombers played them.

Mr Dee Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I agree Saskatchewan is playing better than the start of the year. No doubt. As to Edmonton, I don't compare one team having played two different teams and making a comparison. Edmonton was/is a house of cards, and we are seeing them collapse. As close as our game against the Eskis seemed, we really did dominate them. As to Saskatchewan, well play them how we'll play them, and I hope it's well. I'll not underestimate either team.

Judd Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Riders looking good! Can they string it together for a few games or go back to being hot and cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Riders playing well, in a lot of areas.....but 21 points off of turnovers, puts a lot of pressure on you. Reilly also doing his share of inaccurate chucking, tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Of course they are looking good- we soften the Eskies up for them and we figured them out for the rest of the league.... those green assholes should thanks us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
