GDT - Western Final - Riders @ The Champs

It's here. It's finally here. Winners go to Hamilton, losers go back home to Saskatchewan. 

What are you plans today? Are you watching at IGF East or at home? 

 

 

 

 

Weather at kickoff will be -8, feels like -18. Wind 38, gusting to 57. 

When the game ends, temps will be -13, feels like -25. Wind 40, gusting to 60.

Why was the field is such poor shape? Don't we cover the field till game time? looks bush league... sorry for the rant but it might of cost us this game.

The field was fine... didn't see anyone slipping or anything all game.  Saw more slipping and sliding at BC Place this season in multiple games.

I thought Demski slipped in the endzone on that 1st interception of the game, and I thought Taylor slipped when Duke busted the big play at the end of the 3rd. Hard to tell from my vantage point, but it sure looked like slipping and sliding to me...

Nah demski didn't slip, the ball was just over his shoulder and he made an awkward attempt at the catch. Taylor perhaps was slow on the cut. Otherwise that ball was up for grabs.

Fajardo bitched about everything. Leaders lead by example. They don't push teammates over a cliff. 

Hear a Fajardo interview before the game where he said something about how they were a team and how nobody points fingers when things go wrong...  wasn't he the guy moaning about the fact that his receivers couldn't come down with the "50/50" throws?

Aside from Nick Taylor on the Duke Williams TD .. feet came right out from under him.  Would have been a big play regardless but there may have been an opportunity for it to end there on the sidelines if Taylor could have kept his footing.

Fajardo is awful. All smiles and team work when it goes good, points fingers immediately when things don't go well. 

 

Now contrast that to the Bombers, post game asked about having to bail the offense out "that's just what we do, we know if we need them they'll do the same for us"

This.

I get that everyone is on “the catch” but the hand in the back .. the push off so he could make a play on the ball .. what are you watching refs?

Duke was doing that back when he was with Edmonton as well... it's how he gets open to make the catches that he makes, but for some reason they always allow it for him.  When he was coming back to the CFL, that was my #1 reason for not wanting him on our team.

Osh made a big mistake not challenging for offensive PI. Glad it didn't cost us.

Was at the game. He was half arsing it all game long. He doesn't want to be a Rider anymore imo...but what a crap attitude.

In one of the post game interviews on the radio, one of the defenders said he was near Osh when the ref was talking about it and overheard them say that the review looked at everything and that there was no OPI.

Nope.  On the post-game show, Nick Taylor said the refs told MOS that the whole play was reviewed, including OPI.  He had the flag in hand ready to go but was told he couldn't challenge.

That's just crazy then. It's stuff like that, that makes a person wonder if a challenge call is predetermined before they even look at the footage. It wasn't just obvious it was beyond dispute. So many angles that showed the ball hitting the ground and for some strange reason TSN not even showing the replay of the push off which was beyond obvious as well. Funny thing is that Duke has gotten away with that his whole career.

Fair point, there may have been a couple of slips, but I still stand by the comment that BC Place was worse this year for that.  All things considered, the field was in really good shape for this game and wasn't as much of a factor as it could have been.

It is kind of insane to me that TSN either didn't recognize or even mention that a star player that some had pushed as an MOP candidate was in the endzone seats partying it up in our colours 😄

I wonder if they weren't sure how to handle it after the MBT situation.  The season is over for Whitehead but TSN may have been unsure if he was allowed to attend major sports events.  So they decided not to say anything.

This reception by Lawler was absolutely epic and a huge conversion to keep the chains moving. Lawler is a baller!

That catch and then the catch by Demski were sick. But according to Rider fans ZC is hot garbage and it was all the receivers who did the work. 

In the darkest timeline, the Arblows and cryders are playing in the GC- the winner of that match will forever have an asterisk beside their name.

Demski's catch shortly after Lawler's was also huge. And how about this beauty flying grab by Adams on another key drive to retake the lead:

Some majorly important plays that helped the Bombers overcome that shaky first half and go on to the Grey Cup.

And the key block that Adams made to allow Bailey around the left side to get a first down and then the score on that drive. Without that Bailey has a loss of a good 5 yards and we are kicking a FG
