As for this week, I don't see you beating Calgary. We need to win 3 out of next 4 in the worst way. Likely we win 2. We lost some games we should have won. Now we have to win some games we should lose to make up for it. No excuse for losing to Montreal, back up qb or not. Our defense is as good as anybody's and better than most. I'm in a happy place, if we win then its good. If we lose then its nails in the coffin for Jones who I don't like anyway. We will give the Stamps all they can handle this week, not sure if it will be enough or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pass first offense like we run is not easy for a young guy to step in and have success with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 aren't you second..or third in cfl in rushing..hardly a pass first offence...It;s just that your qb's are not that good and supporting staff the same. Short dumps and hooks and screens are the easiest...or should be the easiest play to execute...so that statement makes not a lot of sense...

Last in pass attempts, last in pass yardage, last in completions. It will improve with Collaros playing, until his next injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk football because I love the game and I love my Riders. Its not my job. I run a business and have kids that I am raising. My daughter is in Winnipeg this week at Zajak hockey school. Wife says its been very good. Meanwhile with the Riders, we will be better with Collaros playing that's for sure. I don't see him staying healthy, that's why wouldn't have brought him in, never mind the big bucks he makes. When a team loses a starting qb, its hard to have the same expected success the team had prior to the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are winning on the road with 2 minutes to go, most people would classify that as a game you should have won.

Booch Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 I think too...the Toronto game...clearly could have reversed the pick 6 as ball wasn't touched so pass interference should have been called...If trestman would have used his challenge..you wouldn't have scored that TD...and most likely T.O scores more points ...I really think you guys are lucky to be 3-4...if thats even lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No honestly I don't think close game that was pissed away late counts as a game that should have been won. I certainly don't think that it's fair to say the bombers should have won the first game vs. Edmonton. They ****** up at bad times and lost a close game.

Heck...Streveler has produce more TD's this year in his 3 starts and spot play all by himself than your offense has in total all year...can't deny that can you? Do the Riders even have a qb?

Edmonton game we got screwed on the td call. Esks offside all night and the throat slash that no one saw.

Guess we are going with Gainer if Collaros goes down WTH is going on with the Riders & the CFLPA over Rob Bagg? Was he brought back because Jones shouldn't have cut him when injured? I read the CFLPA statement & it was as clear as mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
