From what ive heard or read,we seem to be healthy coming out of yesterday's game.  The boys play in 5 days and must already be salivating to play Sask again. I feel our defensive performance may even get better than yesterdays game(if its even possible). Anyone have an idea of ticket sales so far?

That opening drive on labour day was just the best thing. Just pimp slapped the riders D and said "what you gonna do about it?" Set the tone for the entire game.

I would love to see Harris just grind them into the ground next game too.

Crowd going nuts the whole time. 

It's going to be fun on Saturday (I hope)!

i truly see a complete beat down on all facets.....Sask did nothing, and has nothing they can do to swap out anything to make me think anything different....and You already know The Faj is gonna have happy feet right out of the gate and will be more skittish than he was in Labour Day game....factor in the noise and atmosphere and that extra level of play that will inject to the Bombers....gonna be a good one!

Getting Harris was more the catalyst to us getting where we are than the Nichols signing....He helped don't get me wrong and solidified the QB position, but if he didn't have a talent like Harris...would have been a different story.

Just imagine if we could have had Harris right from the start, or at the 3 yr point in his career

True. I think if we didnt get nichols, we wouldve been in on the original spree for harris, collaros etc. But it all worked out in the end. 

If we got harris that early, he'd be a whole lot higher in the career rushing total thats for sure.

They dont really have an offensive adjustment to make that counters what our defense did last week. Especially not one that can be implemented in the 6 days between games. Short of going to a back up qb. Which is always kind of scary to me. Weve been killed by a lot of back ups over the years. But id be more worried if it was lynch not harker. 

Just establish things from the get-go:

Get Harris going early, and set up some play action passes.
Smack Commander Cody, early.......that hit by Bighill, got him nervous in the service...
Run a punt back for more than 5 yards
Tighten up on the kick return coverage
Bring the serious noise.....bust the decibel meter
 

Very tough to beat any team back to back so we have our work cut out for us.  Let's go Blue!

I think we're due for a big return. 6 maybe even 7 yards. Who knows the down field tackler could accidentally throw nelson forward and pick up 8 or 9.

The crowd will go insane if Nelson busts one for 9 yards. I might fall from the second level. 

We are surely setting Nelson up for success, this weekend.....

Yeah TSN will have to break away and show a warning to any one watching with a weak heart. 

If only we can get KR Troy Stoudermire back, Mike will be very happy. 😂
He is playing in Mexico currently though.

Really? I wonder if that is better or worse than the IFL / spring league w/e.

I was soo stunned when he was released to sign with an NFL team. Idk why they wouldnt have gone after some one better. 

Should we do a who'd you rather with return men and nelson? I bet kevin fogg is available to lose 20 yards per return.

If Fajardo was getting frustrated at home... How will he handle staying focus from all the noise this weekend?

If we get pressure on him then game over.

 

Chances Calgary will have more wins than the Riders by the end of the year.

Gainey being out means nothing. Most overrated db in the west. 

Now it just means someone else is going to take a PI in the endzone.

With $5.00 beers before the game and the return of the pre-game tailgate, I’m assuming those two sentences are not necessarily connected.

that will probably help them and be a bonus in disguise...he's totally over rated and takes dumb penalties and is one of the me first ring leaders with Marshall...Edam and Purifoy

Excuses as to why the Riders will lose on Saturday are already being warmed up. The meanie Bombers will take advantage of the poor, defenceless Riders. Shame on them.

This strikes me as a fine idea.

"The second level? What's that?" - Nelson, probably

Couple LB practicing again.

Nice to see Wilson and Roquemore limited now...Wilson back would be huge

Agreed, as the Riders' best hope to take the pressure off their O-line and Fajardo will be to get a running game going.
