Week 8: Non Champ Games

First up Als at Ticats. Brutal first 2 quarters on both sides. No one can make a catch. Pretty thin crowd.

Fajardo can't run like he is used to because of his injury. His spin move is half as quick and he's getting easily hauled down in the backfield. Given he isn't a great passer and their o-line is average at best, their offense has bogged down completely. 

I think u meant below average at best 

Interesting though how the narrative I'd that Rourke had all day to throw... I really disagree with that. He was under pressure  almost all the time, but he made some good moves to buy that extra moment he needed, he got some quick throws off accurately and generally did a good job reading the D and knowing how to beat what they were doing. 

Faj on the other hand did his one read and then ineffectually ran around and did the old chuck and duck.

Rourke was harassed in the first quarter and some of the second, but it looked to me that the offensive line coach changed the blocking assignments t half time and that pretty much stifled the Rider pass rush. That's what coaches are supposed to do but the Riders had no answers.

Having Kelly Bates as an Oline coach helps out big time.

Check out the cfl.ca game recap of the Riders/Lions game. After the Lions get that safety, there is absolutely nothing positive they could find to show about the Riders

They usually show a few good plays that a team who lost badly made, but in this case there is NOTHING

The only thing worth mentioning is the hustle and tackle by Schaeffer-Baker, on the Purifoy interception

Anyone wanting a good laugh has to listen to Luc Mullinder go off on the Rider performance last night, it's hilarious.  Click on 5th Quarter Post Game, starts about 5 minutes in.

No excuses…except for these ones!

The Dickenson interview in there is such a profile of a loser's mindset.

Jim Dalyish....

The Riders are exactly who they've always been under this regime. Trash. CoFaj is a career 3rd stringer that flukes his way into some wins the past couple years, but we're absolutely seeing exactly who they are.

I wouldn't say it's a good laugh,   it's actually refreshing that someone is calling it honestly as it is.    The organization needs players and the coaching staff to be honest and real like this. 

**edit** ten minutes in and the PBP says BC is much better then Winnipeg and Calgary?   Now that is a good laugh!   

Edited by Brandon

One other narrative about Sask that needs to break is how great their defensive players are.

No ******* way are Dean or Sankey the MODP just because they are piling up tackles since they can’t get off the field and their offense can’t stay on it.

Piling up tackles cause your defence can't get off field....offence can't stay on field...and you lucky to have a 500 record does not make for a MODP candidate...I'm sorry Sask media

That guy makes Rod Pederson sound like Al Michaels.

Trash broadcaster.

Yeah...guy is gawd awful...but suits the whole organization there...shocked but impressed that goof Mullinder actually said what he did...u can tell he's fed up...and actually finally sees what a joke that organization has been the better part of Chris Jones era and beyond ..I'd be embarrassed as a fan and supporter...as I see no drastic change there anytime soon

There is a post on Riderfans where someone has ranked a Rider first in the league at basically every defensive position. They have allowed 50 more points than us!

Surprising cause the guy is a complete fanboy homer. His takes are usually absolutely delusional, bordering on insane.
