They both played fine. It was our secondary that was the problem. It has been all season & continues to be. They play soft zone coverage. They don't knock the ball down. They go for interceptions & get burned mightily.

We'd have lost that challenge as the ball hit the ground before Schoen secured it. I saw a facemask on Oliveira late in the game that was missed & O'Shea never challenged it as it looked blatant. Oliveira turned his head as he was running when the Rider player grabbed his mask.

You don't give up a point in that situation. Not with a 4 point lead under 3 minutes left. It meant a FG ties instead of a TD to win & look what happened. To me, by giving up the point we opened the door for the Riders. Our secondary was terrible all game long. Not surprised we lost the way they played. These guys just want the accolades. Instead of making sure the pass is incomplete they want a Pick 6. Look what happened. On offense, no return game meant a long field all game long. The Riders were always starting at or close to mid field. Not one kick or punt return for over 10 yards. Put McCrae back there returning punts & kicks. He's better than Parker who is useless.

We lost to the Riders, too.

O Lineman are going to get beat. Why do fans think that if players don't play perfect then they must be have had a bad game? Newsflash: Johnson can still play. Judge the guy on the whole game. Not one play. Our line wasn't the problem today. How about our secondary being stupid & trying to play heroes constantly & giving up huge chunks of real estate?? Why has Lawler suddenly gone quiet? Why does it take us nearly a half to get going?? Whose decision was it to concede a single point when we were up by 4????

Are these the same people saying BC at 8-3 are a mess??

We have absolutely no return game. Some of you here could run the ball back better than Parker.

Exactly. The key is what you say. We have to win tonight. Every game is huge for us as long as the Lions are chasing us. We can't afford to have a bad game to let the Lions get back into the race for first place. Hopefully, O'Shea keeps his players head on straight. I don't want us to have to go to BC for the WF. I care. Why give the Lions a psychological & weather advantage if we don't have to? I've seen too many great seasons from many teams go up in smoke in the playoffs.

Nah, he hated the Riders as much as sanchez hates us. I remember even saying on air that he didn't like the Riders. I wish they'd use Dave Naylor full time. The guy is very knowledgeable & has his finger on the pulse of the CFL.

You are all making a big, big mistake if you guys are downplaying the BC Lions. If we play them here in the Western Final & it's cold & or snowy, I have no doubt our physical form of football with Oliveira running the ball wins as we'll stuff the ball down their throats. If we have to go to BC for the WF playing in a dome with perfect field & climate conditions indoors then all bets are off. We'll be in the fight of our lives as a team with them. We HAVE to win this game today to keep them chasing us.

He's just an excitable guy.... Enthusiasm. Nothing wrong with that. At least he doesn't mail it in like Sanchez who just sits there smugly acting like the smartest guy in studio.

She's run her course as host & should be given the boot. We can only hope that they're grooming Scianetti. When we were losing 22-0 to the Elks & we saw the panel trying to be comedic with their "dumbfounded" looks that was just awful & (to me) unprofessional for a broadcast panel to be doing that. Just so amateurish & not funny at all. You know that's all Bierness & not the other guys. Just about that whole TSN broadcast crew from top to bottom has to be replaced. In studio & in the booth. Not everyone.... With the exception of Dunigan who should stay in studio to be replaced by LaPo, Dustin Nielsen & the other young guy doing pbp.

He does yell when he gets excited but that's okay.

Everybody plays the same teams in a 9 team league. We lost to Ottawa. We don't play the Argos in Toronto. Does that make our schedule any less difficult ot take awaay from our record if we win the GC because we had it easier than the Lions who were hammered at BMO Field? To me, your argument makes no sense.

As bad as some think Jim Barker is, I happen to like him. He's still better than Davis Sanchez who is just smug & arrogant constantly. How refreshing that ******* hasn't been around for a few weeks. If anyone drags down the panel, it's Bierness. I notice a distinct change when Matthew Scianetti hosts as they're much more on topic. They really should be using LaPo a lot more, right?

BC is a mess at 8-3? We lost to Ottawa. Are we a mess? Teams go through slumps & ups & downs in an 18 game schedule. Meanwhile, Adams keeps throwing 300 plus yards? Okie Dokie.

Happens all the time. It's an embarrassment.

Evans is garbage. He certainly isn't the answer. He's a retreaded qb who's worse than Fajardo. I mean, are we really surprised here? Montreal hasn't been relevant as a team since Calvillo retired a decade ago. They're not capable of any kind of major upset as a road team. They can play like GC champions at home then a week later totally suck on the road. If anyone here was hoping for an upset playing in BC, they haven't watched the Alouettes the past few years. Not a good road team. They always seem to find a way to lose.

And Crum beat us. Caleb Evans didn't. Your point? Who cares what Hodge thinks?

TSN wants prime time in the East. I hate 5 pm starts MDT. All season, I've pvr'd games & then sit on my deck bbq'ng, sipping on a cool one. Then after dinner about an hour or so later, put the game on & FF thru all the commercials. Sometimes, I'm able to catch up to real time before it ends. Mostly, I finish a few minutes after the game ends. If TSN thinks that having games on all the time during the supper hour out west sells more products for their sponsors, they're wrong. Anyway, TSN sucks in so many ways.

Yes, minor officials who referee do sticks. i did sticks as a parent when both my sons played pee wee & bantam before I coached. It was interesting. Every once in a while We'd lose track of the LOS which made it interesting. Or standing on the sidelines in the middle of the enemy right beside their coaches. It was fun. I don't think I'd want to do a CFL game. That would be intimidating.

C'mon, they got the massively overpaid Drew Desjarlais. That OL still looks like crap with him in there. Well done, Sean Burke. I know one who worked sticks at McMahon. She is a female football player.

You can't compare those 2 qbs to Mitchell. Calvillo didn't have the injuries piling up like Mitchell. He was playing some great football up until he was injured in Regina & had to retire. Mitchell hasn't played well since 2017 or 18 with the serious injuries piling up. Ricky Ray could still play until that big hit he suffered injured his neck & he retired. Mitchell had been hanging on with the Stamps & now the Ti Cats based solely on his past reputation. Not because he's playing like a wily old veteran. I mean, we can all see that he isn't the qb he used to be & it's not even close. You may be right, Maybe he'll get his second wind & guide the Ti Cats to their first Grey Cup. Myself, I think his career is over. Or at least, it should be.

I wonder why they do that?

What a shame.
