Man, most kickers probably go their entire lives without that happening to them.

Miller doesn't get paid enough.  How many big plays has he made for us?

He's my HH tonight

I bet Miller could do some things blitzing from a LB spot.

By far the worst tonight was Suitor.... even in the last minute brings up Manziel and says it was a close game and blames the refs....  keeps pumping Franklins tires despite him putting up 4 terrible turnovers alone....

Sportscentre then starts with the first line of the Beatdown of the Argos by the Bombers lol

No Suitor that wasnt close... 6 turmovers. That was an ass wooping

Franklin was terrible in the 2nd half... does anyone have his stat line for the 2nd half?  It has to be something like 5 for 16 with 2 ints....

Loffler had a good night.  Good to see.  Hopefully he picks it up in the final two thirds of the season.

JSK was beast mode. 10 tackles 3 sacks. Hes my 1st star

If that was a Bomber DB who did that we'd all be screaming WHAT??!

We did say that when Loffler layed out Arceneaux in the end zone. Same thing. Hitting a defenceless receiver after the play is over.

For a good laugh visit the riderfans forum gameday thread.... such hilarious highlights of:

O'Shea being a dirty coach because he called blitzes in the in the last 5 minutes of the game....

Laing shouldn't of got roughing the passer because the hit wasn't low (despite him grabbing the ankles)

Mike being a troll despite a Rider fan posting the exact same message right above the one Mike posted....

The Blue Bombers apparently made zero big plays outside of the refs giving us all of our yards on offense...

Apparently they still want Franklin....

About 99% of the posts crying about the refs....

Best one is questioning whether it's legal to hit the punter who has the ball.  Umm...it's football, hitting the guy holding the ball is always legal as long as you don't hit him in the head or facemask him.

My reaction?Why even go there? Let the children play. 

Wait, how did the refs help Demski catch that bomb for a td? Which ref helped him tiptoe down the sidelines for the second td? How in the world did a ref help Thompkins on his big catch? Those guys on Riderfans would have to study to be idiots.

How many years does Suitor have left in this gig?  20whatever is enough, right?  Time for someone new.

I think he and Black signed some kind of lifetime deal with TSN.

Probably close to the truth.  I'd say they have seniority & can stay as long as they want.  Even though both aren't very good at what they do. Black is just plain bad & it doesn't matter what game he calls. Suitor is all about petty politics & definitely has his favourites going back to his playing days. Being a former Rider he sure doesn't like the Bombers.

TSN needs to find their version of Tony Romo.

They spend all this money on TNF. hype it all up. Change the in studio panel & Rod Smith does pbp. They pay local bands to entertain us to boost the ratings.  Yet, they keep 2of the worst broadcasters on their games. Money not well spent. 

That rapper last night. Ugh. 

Between Montreal and Toronto absolutely tanking, its looking like it might be yet another crossover year...

Rod Smith is brutal at play by play, kept mixing up players between the Als and Eskimos last night.

I never go there. I don't see the point.

Demski and JSK had great games tonight. I never get sick of seeing us beat a team down.
