Looks like they are going with an additional DB (Porter) to replace Dressler. Some anti aircraft artillery against the potent Eskimo air attack.

Last time we played them I believe we had Roc Carmichael in the lineup...and I'm unsure if we had Brian Walker. Having Walker and Alexander playing alongside Heath and Randle will be key in limiting the Esks receivers. It will be a battle though. Much harder winning in Commonwealth.

Durant had a case of the noodly arm.

The Cirque Du Alouettes continues. That safety taken by their DB was incredible

I have no sympathy for Duke Williams. He has lived off offensive PI since he started

That was terrible lol. Are the Riders ever lucky to have played the Ticats on this night...

As I was saying. Starting to think Gainey is practicing voodoo.

Qbs love throwing right to him

I guess they really wanted the "biggest gong show" title over Hamilton.

Hey don't be so hard on yourself

Tagged myself. Chaosmonkey was supposed to do stoic face with me but DIDN'T.

I really like that we are resting the rooks a bit. They will benefit a lot from resting up and watching a couple games

Bottom line is we don't need him this year. I always worry with these guys with NFL aspirations that they will find the nearest PR to sit on for the rest of their career...but I'm not sure Gray is like that. I think we'll see him next year.

They needed to get rid of some locker room problems this past year. They're in a bit of a rebuild especially on offense.

The fight for 2nd in the East is real. Unless BC continues to tank.

Maybe in the future...doubt Branning will be considered for the extra DB position this year.

This whole Briles situation is covering up the fact that they just made a guy with no CFL coaching experience the head coach. Kent Austin back on the bench by years end?

I wouldn't be benching him solely on that. There's only so much room on the roster. I don't think it would kill his confidence or anything

I'd consider sitting Thorpe. I think that was his second fumble last week and Denmark has been doing a lot for us of late. But it may come down to scheme. I'm not down on Thorpe but he is a rookie!

Not to mention one of his five interceptions was last week in a hail mary throw before the half. Not even an error in judgement; just a hope and a prayer.

Thank you Chris Randle!

I have a lot of respect for that Montreal team. They had "one of those games" much like BC losing to Saskatchewan. (SJ Green/Duron Carter being unstoppable). Great teams rarely have "one of those games" but Montreal is still a good team and can steamroll you if you aren't at the top of your game. They beat Calgary...and they arguably should have beaten us. So I agree with you that we could lose this game. That said, we are 6-2 and are morphing into what could be considered a "great team". When we came back and beat Montreal was when belief turned into confidence. I fully expect to win this game because we're the better team and we don't take games off.

Don't ever remember having him

FWIW Reilly recorded 1 int this game but easily could have had 4 more but were wiped out via penalty or simply dropped by our DBs. Score really flattered the Eskimos just like the stats actually flattered Mike Reilly. Not saying he isn't a great QB but Nichols absolutely schooled him today.

The thing I like most about our secondary is that if a guy catches the ball they are paying the price.
