D has won us a bunch of games already this season. Even this one easily could have been 3-4 score deficit in the first half without some huge stops and a turnover deep in our end. Riders had huge field position advantage whole first half and scored 1 TD that half plus a FG on our D. The talent didn't make the big play on 10 tries in the final drive. Don't really think that's a scheme issue, the plays weren't made. Bighill got blocked off the field for Powell's big run by ALBERT AWACHIE! What do you want Richie Hall to do about that? Bighill was in the gap where the ball went and he lost to a guy who played receiver in CIS and wasn't even drafted in 2017! Scheme was perfect, we lose that play because our quarter million dollar man lost to some guy.

I mean Hall's D gave up 1 TD and have done that pretty consistently. Lapo we could get rid of anytime. He's getting nothing out of a lot of talent, with or without Nichols and Harris.

Caught all the balls thrown to him....better than the guy we cut.

Did Demski get injured or benched?

Streveler's passing in the 2nd half was great. I don't think Lapo knows what to do with him (or really any QB in this era). Our protection scheme and quick game (screen's especially) need work. Lapo can't do RPO with any consistency, and that's what's needed to really put the D off-balance. We have the perfect QB to run an option passing scheme. Finally adjusted to the pressure a bit at half. Big game from Streveler. Have a hard time celebrating anyone on D, they had a chance to win the game and blew it. On the whole a great game from the D though, especially pass rush.

Think we got reliant on the pass rush there and when it didn't happen we were screwed. Also our LB's could not make a tackle when we needed it most. 2nd and long conversion on the ground.

Bighill and Hardrick both look like they are playing extremely compromised with leg injuries. Give them 6 games to heal and bring them back for the stretch. Both are negative players for us anyway right now.

Both offenses made the drive they needed to make to win the game, ours was too early and we ran out of time.

Sask had 39 yards rushing on final drive, 31 yards rushing rest of the game.

Fajardo took what, 7 sacks and 3 more TFL's? I'd be happy to play him every week as an opponent. I think more often than not we'd get a big play or two off the D for 10-14 points plus all the loss of yards off him.

Banjo Bowl is must win.

Best thing he did was not make a fatal error. With the field position advantage they had in the first half this game should have been over. Riders certainly didn't want to rely on his arm on the winning drive.

Powell ran for almost 30 on that last drive. Albert Awachie kicked Bighill's ass on the big run, Bighill was in the gap Powell went through.

Yeah he looks like my 15 pound cat trying to be a kitten again. Knows what he used to do and knows what he should do but physically can't do it.

Fajardo was awful.

That Demski screwup INT on that hitch screen cost us a FG too. Lots of opportunity to improve.

Fajardo is player of the game? They scored 3 points in the second half.

D needed to make one play.

Our big players on D did jack on this drive.

Bighill just got taken out of that play by a 7th round Canadian FB. Embarrassing.

This is it, make the play.

Useless blitz, and now FG range. Only win with a turnover or missed kick now.

D needs to make the play now. Can't let them in FG range and waste clock.

Yeah but they can tie it with a single and if they give a safety they are still only down 3.

Time for Jefferson to end this one.
