Good morning everyone, it's a great day to watch the Riders get stomped at home.

First things first, can Johnny Football shock the world and lead the Als to a win over the Stampeders??

The Reilly hit should have been RTP.

I really don’t understand the waffling. A helmet to helmet hit used to be automatic.

What’s changed?

I’ve seen hand slaps on helmets called for RTP. 

Evans slams on Reilly with his full weight..something I thought they were trying to get out of the game..

Damn shame really.

Seeing Jones screaming and pumping up his D as they slaughtered Edms Oline and pummeled Reilly was intimidating. I don't want to play that D right now.

So transparent... ugh

Hey, I'm serious. Would much rather face Edm or BC.

It takes a special kind of stupid to argue that the Stamps aren't beat up, have you seen their receiver depth? That impacts any team no matter how good they are.

They  have multiple weeks before playoffs start. You’re absolutely delusional if you think you’re going to get past the Stamp. Your team has 3 games left and frankly I see your only win being against the Riders next weekend and that’s it. Guess you’ll see.

The riders were sooo lucky that the refs gave them so many missed calls... That missed RTP on Reilly really was lucky, otherwise the eskies would have won.

 

Man those riders are so ******* lucky- luckiest 10 and 7 team ever! That luck is going to run out soon.

Maas post game scared me. Not kidding.

Our D held the Esks to fewer yards passing & rushing, and did it in their home stadium. In the Riders prior four games, they gave up an average of nearly 30 pts/gm playing against Mtl, TO, Ottawa, & us. Hughes has two sacks in the last five games, and they came against the two worst OL's in the league.

They're good for sure, but I don't think they've been dominant lately.

their defense isn't as good as people like to think...sue they won the game with a pick 6 but really....can't rely on that basically for what..4-5 wins this year forever...it won't last and with that pathetic offence...come play-offs and crunch time it won't sustain.

With Edmonton's swoon right now, you know B.C is looking to go throttle the Riders to pass the Schmoes...I highly doubt they beat us at home again and Cgy I am sure wants to send a playoff message to them as well...they have 3 tough games and could lose out....we win out...well guess whee the WSF is?

The Bombers won their last 2 Cups with dominant defence and average or below average offence that didn’t turn over the ball. It’s fall playoff time....injuries and weather and defence becomes a major factor in the final weeks.

Yeah but those offences scored more than 22 offensive touchdowns after 15 games...big difference

He knows he will be fired now.  Reality is setting in

Maybe he goes to your team as the OC next season?  

Claybrooks goes to Edmonton to coach?

I'm still cheering for the crossover... it so much easier path to the Grey Cup... 

Yet nobody has ever won it that route....right ?

Maas wasn't a bad OC. He can't handle being in charge of the whole team.  He just can't control his emotions enough. He might be your OC if Lapo goes to coach the Lions.  Could definitely be some juggling around the league with coaches. I would welcome Gainer to be our OC next year, but alas Macadoo will have the job as long as Chris Jones is running the show

No one has even made it to the cup as a crossover team. Only 3 times I believe a crossover team has even won a semi final game.  I believe BC, Edm  and Sask.   I'm too lazy to look it up

Can tell you that Lapo won't be going to West coach for any coaching position

What he say in his post gamer?

 

Sunderland would probably poach someone from Ottawa...  could be a bit of a coaching carousel this off-season...  BC, EDM, MTL(?)

I’d be surprised if Lapo gets any head coach interest. 

To me he’s not head coach material.

He was all over the place - mostly blaming receivers running the wrong routes - but he sounded lost

Losing that fight to a Gatorade container broke his spirits I think...

I had to work so I missed most of the game. Did he go ballistic on Gatorade bucket?

10-5 get it right.

No - that time he did it a few games ago...  just a joke

He just sounded blah...  'If the receivers run their routes, then we win'

I’m not sure he’ll be fired this off season. I think he’ll be given another season to turn it around. 

The only way I see him get fired is if the players mount a mutiny. There are rumours that his Schtick is getting old with the players.

Unfortunately I don't see Jennings being able to beat the Riders. Way to beat the Riders is to protect the football and I don't trust Jennings to protect the football at all.
