Enough of all the other shenanigans, lets get back to talking all the fantastic football yet to come this weekend, and get the pregame thread rolling....

Who's that weird guy in the Rider garb?  Oh ya, who's that dude with the football on his head also?

Jones looks like he's about to shiv the pope

So do we still feel that Ritchie hall is the best DC for us?

Thorpe would have been useful on O.  Deep ball isn't happening, need the misdirection and YAC.

Richie Hall should get his butt booted outta here at season's end

Hall is calling the perfect game......

 

For Kevin Glenn's strengths.

And maybe Lapo and Nichols could try throwing a pass beyond 8 yards.  Just a thought.

To be fair, it's just been a rough afternoon all around.  At some point our 4-game win streak was going to come to an end against SSK and this was the game I picked it to happen.

But Richie Hall is responsible for the crappy show we've been seeing on defense, and if we're going to win the cup, this scheme must be done away with.

So glad we kept Lankford in the lineup over Thorpe. Also, Cory Johnson scratched again today why? Richie Hall needs to go, so sick of watching his soft ass defense give up yards like a knife through butter.

 

On a side note, I think an investigation should be called against the use of fake injuries used to try and impede the Lapo tempo offense

Good thing we had Lankford in today. 

Jim Bender is on a RAMPAGE!!!!

Split in Regina.  Rubber match in Winnipeg 

Classy bunch in Regina starting with there coach 

Turnovers.. Cant win when u turn the ball over twice in the redzone. 

So much confusion.

Targeting Ed Gainey all game...  wtf?  There's mad science for you.

Starting two backs for 11 combined touches...

Sitting Poop and then playing Okpo at DT half the game

No Dressler on PR

Constantly lining Hurl up at the DL - closing a gap but leaving everything open up the middle

Starting Derek Jones at CB instead of Carmichael after Heath injury

 Outcoached at every level.  Embarassing.

a big ol meh from me re: this game.  LDC is always a tough game but at least we got some points back there (tho a little more would have been nicer). So we win the BB by 12 and we take the series. The end. oh yeah and don't spot them so many points in the first half

Thorpe would've been more useful than lankford which goes without saying, but I also think I would've preferred him to Denmark.

We already beat them lol. We don't have to win the BB by any specific score; just win.

Yeah, tired of it as well but nothing will change.

A few of these appear to be bitching for the sake of it. Should we ignore 3 turnovers in the redzone?

Go up tempo early and often next week and watch the Riders fall down like bowling pins.

As usual, Im not sure what you're trying to get at...  accuse me of bitching for no reason and then add another point to the list ha...  sure why not.

I can add Lapo's over-wrought playcalling, Nichols staring guys down and then targeting Denmark when the sun is in his eyes too?

Denny runs good routes, has good hands, but is so friggin' soft.

Sure. Dressler doesnt return punts for us. Hasnt at all. Carmichael sucks. Those 2. Just odd you'd mention those.
