TBURGESS

Quite frankly, Shiltz looked better than BLM anyway. I know it was YABD, but still.

Grant's 92 yard TD at 9:27 in the 3rd changed it from a 3 point game to a 10 point game in 15 seconds. That was the turning point of the close game. We were only up by 7 going into the fourth (31-24). How do you not think that's a close game? The Riders had more offence than we did. They passed for 400+ yards. Harris was as efficient as Collaros & he threw for one more TD. Everyone knew the Riders had given up when they were down by 14 & went for a FG instead of a TD half way thru the 4th. Wolo's late TD made the score look less close than the game really was. Oh yah! I almost forgot. We were playing a team, Saskatchewan, that most picked to be 4th or 5th in the West.

Like Lawler before him.... regretting the decision until he looks at his bank account.

It wasn't the game I was expecting where we dominate. It was a close back and forth game that was in doubt until Grant's amazing TD return. The Riders were broken after that.

BC pitched a shutout for the 3rd time in team history. They are the best defense we will face so far. Marque game coming up on Thursday. I wish it was a Sunday game so BC has no excuses. Edmonton has a good defense, but that offense is offensive.

1. Collaros - Running and passing 2. Grant - That return broke the Riders spirit 3. Schoen - Amazing hands HH - Demski - got us out of trouble over and over

Demski

I really like the Muhammad signing. That guy's hitter.

Looked like an early battle for the basement in the West. Great hitting by both teams. Just kick the F'ing FG on the last Riders play. If it takes most QB's 3 years to 'get it', then the Elks QB is never gonna get it.

Pigrome found out how big a difference there is playing the starters instead of the 3rd and 4th stringers.

The Redblacks and the Als both have way better defenses than offenses. At least Ottawa has a chance of getting better when Masoli gets healthy. Faj's one great deep ball basically won the game, but he has no pocket presence. The whirlybird move when no one is near him is special... Wears a hockey helmet all the time kinda special. Both teams FG kickers were great. Neither OC did a good job of given their QB's plays they excel at. Hint: Don't call deep middle shots for Arbuckle.

That was a horrible call. Adeleke didn't fake taking a knee. No reason to stop the clock and give us 10 yards. Likely the only reason we got 3 unearned points on the next drive.

We absolutely dominated the first half. It should have been over early in the third. Hamilton scored TD's on 3 turnovers and still lost. BLM was horrible in the first half, topping out at average in the second half. His deep ball misses sealed Hamilton's fate. Why did the OC keep calling them in the first half when they weren't working and they weren't down by a ton? You could tell which team made the least changes in the off season. Hamilton will get better, but it will take some time. Older vet teams do great at the beginning of the season before their bodies get broken down. It sure is nice that I don't hold my breath when we go out for a FG. Our DB's had lots of time to close because BLM didn't have enough zip on the deep ball. 1-0 is where we are and where we should be.

I hope you're wrong and worry that you're right.

Talk of BC's demise without Rourke might be premature.

I was really surprised at the O-line. Just goes to show what a huge difference a great QB makes to the O-Line. I expected Bighill to be a top 10 LB, but then again, last year was an off year for him.

Just change it to X Canadians, Y Non-Canadians and leave it at that.

I think Butler's the key to the game. If the Ticats can establish a good running game they can keep our offence off of the field and tire out our defense. Kinda what happened in both of our pre-season games.

Really interesting Info here: https://www.cfl.ca/2023/06/07/player-grades-powered-by-pff-2022-season/ I'm looking forward to seeing how PFF works out this season.
