So yeah Randle was rough, but suitor was correct that the touchdown before halftime wasn't on him. The deep guy cheated hard inside and left Randle all alone when he clearly thought he would have help over the top.

Ryan was out kicking coverage a ton, probably why lankford had a good game.

really is best case scenario, now the Riders think Fajardo is a quarterback and will waste more time with him.

Ugly defense all around.

Both these defenses are playing like total ****.

CFLPA upset they are called out for hypocrisy. Seriously it's all about optics at this point and in my mind, the CFL is winning. It's always the PA who complains about needing to do more about player safety, good on the league for turning it back around on them.

The important question about Harker to me is: is he better than Sunseri?

CFL probably has to take this stand what with all the threats of lawsuits from players with concussion problems post career.

Then explain Saskatchewan last season.

Stats are misleading sometimes. The turnovers gave the bombers a shorter field so less yards to be gained from the get go. Then you get the strong run game too.... why use passing yardage? Look at the actual performances in the game. Nichols was in complete control and throwing an moving well. He played a real good game.

On the other hand khari came up in a few circles as a possible head coach candidate, if he shows well he might be kept anyway.

We shall see if Harker can adapt once defenses figure out his game. To me he was looking at his target the whole time, better be damned accurate on the passes if you're going to be doing that. Bottom line if you gotta rely on a raw rookie to save your asses, well good luck to you.

One of my favourite plays was the catch where Wolitarsky put his shoulder into the db and pushed the ball down to the goal line (and I think a review might have called that a td) love a receiver who just goes forward and makes the db man up to try and stop you.

Sense of humor, get one.

Hey everyone here called out Lawrence for a dirty hit. I don't see why you have your panties in a twist. Oh right, cause you have to face the reality that the Riders are screwed this season.

Well the definition of success is winning, and Nichols has proven himself more than capable of doing that. Enjoy Fajarod as your starting qb! Your jealousy is really ugly.

He acts like we haven't seen Harris take head shots or cheap shots.... that's what the rider fools don't get, every team has to put up with this crap. Problem is Collaros is a broken player.

Especially when you consider how well he neutered the bombers offense in the playoffs last year. No last night was just one team beating the guys across from them. It was nothing fancy just guys making plays when the opportunity presented itself.

Yeah Whitehead was overthrown by a hair or he likely runs in a touchdown. And watch the replay of the big return Nelson had... Exume was oh so close to getting the block that would have sprung a possible touchdown too.

Nichols was hands down better than Reilly last night. I said to Noeller right after the game that it was the best game Nichols has played in 2 years. I don't care that he had low yardage, he didn't need to put up big yards. He made the throws he had to, extended plays and was efficient in the redzone. Got help from the run game and just played efficiently. Reilly meanwhile just chucked bombs hoping for the best

No the bombers won because they are a well rounded team. Nichols was damned good. That deep pass to Adam's was dropped right in his hands, he was money on his endzone tosses too. Just efficient.

Given how long lapo has been both in Winnipeg and in the league how many secrets do we imagine Lapo still has?

Not to mention claybrooks

Or maybe it's just true.... I mean you get the outliers, the very best, but then a huge mean...
