I can't wait for the petition to have the goalposts moved to the back of the end zone. You know it's coming!! 

They already have a thread at RF.com discussing the move....not even joking

CoFaj seems like a decent g...a decent gu...

He is the most likeable guy on their roster 

 

Watching the goal line stand when the Bombers stopped Fajardo. Mike Jones almost got offside, good thing he went back in time before the ball was snaped. 

How can we blame the crossbar hit to Ambroise? 

Asking for a Rider friend. 

That was such a dirty hit.

Yeah, I lost it a bit watching that play.

Part of that clip I love though is watching Adams' teammates on the sidelines reacting to his catch.

Was that the missed horse collar tackle (right in front of the ref)? 

I really don't understand how the refs can let cheap shots and attempts to injure  go.   The tackle on Winston Rose was a horse collar, no flag.  The shove on Collaros late in the 4th after securing a first down.  Is it just me or does Saskatchewan get away with a lot in their own stadium?   Not a single holding call on their offence line all game.  

good to see this getting some media light now...was such an obvios intent to injure...P.O.S....NOW imagine if one of our guys did something similar to their Fartado hero and the uproar you would be hearing from that toothless fan base and the media...it would be sickening

Same with the horse collar on Adams...we'd still be hearing about it...christ we still hear about the shot Jeffcoat gave to Bridge which had no effect on the outcome of last years WSF whatsoever

We definitely don't get any respect from some of the refs. in this league...Obvious bias bull$hit in that game for sure...I don't know why that is other than they're considered 'rider faves' in their own barn particularly...It happened a couple of times in the Labour Day game as well...even to the point one ref. was just beside himself announcing a first down for them with the voice of a rider fan....The league better look into this crap..They're not untouchable at Mosaic...or is it some refs look at them as the 'bread and butter' team of the league...That  better end

Such a greasy pig move. I guess Hughes had got into the sauce prior to the game. At least he wasn't behind the wheel this time.

******* dirty ...I was yelling in public 

**** was that a pin point perfect ball from Collaros

I love that Adams is smart enought to walk away from Marshall. Marshall was pushing Adams for a reaction to everything he did which 90% of the time would end up as a unsportsmanlike conduct flag. Good Restraint against a pos db

Perfection.  And the majority of his throws are like that...

Should have been an ejection. The football gods who had been in the Riders corner all season walked their support back after that hit. Karma is a beyotch.

For those who missed it. We present 100% effort
Thanks again Shane!

All of the overlooked calls pissed me off, but the fact that their Oline didn't get a single holding call, was goddamn ridiculous.

It was dirty and cheap play by Hughes. But if that's the only way the Riders could win going after our QB's knee.

This just might happen.  For some reason the Riders have an inordinate amount of pull.  A potential roughing the passer call last year impacted their ability to win the WSF and we had extra officials the very next week, and completely new rules the next season.  

I was always surprised that they didn't manage to get field goal return teams increased to 13 players on the field at a time.

They haven't been calling any objectionable conduct this year. In the not-so-distant past they would be calling taunting for 99 percent of the plays in that game (or any game this year for that matter). Whatever, if they are consistent about it..fine. But as soon as you start smacking other guys around after the whistle that should definitely be a penalty.

The Rose horse collar was called I'm fairly sure. The shove on Collaros would have been a wishy washy call IMO. The missed horse collar on Darvin is just plain odd. I'm wondering though, can two objectionable conduct penalties be called on one play for the same team? Maybe that's why it wasn't called. Because of the penalty against hughes? I don't know, I just don't see how they missed it.

Also, were the Bombers called for holding at all?

I know a few years ago, it was a penalty for any player to make the flag throwing motion to a ref. They had a hard line stance on it too. Is that still a thing?

Yup it was pretty amazing. I cant remember how many blatant holds I saw from their sad-sack o-line. There was one on Jake Thomas that was so obvious I couldn't believe my eyes. How those clown shoes could let some of those blatant holds go uncalled ill never know. I mean holds happen on pretty much every play but the egregious ones that lead to an RB being sprung(which is what happened on the Thomas hold), etc, need to be called consistently.
