I can dream. 😥

Kind of incredible that Tui Eli went from being someone that "experts" didn't even think would still play football, to now trying out as a backup centre.

#50 with a HUGE hit on Rider third string QB

How bout McGuire is our third stringer and we keep Bennett as a special teams demon?

Ortiz!

McGuire making Bennett nervous... Bailey looking nice.

The King! Too bad he won't get credited for the catch.

If I was a Rider coach or fan, I sure would be curious what any receiver not named "Roosevelt" is capable of. Looks like from this game they'll have no idea.

I knew we didn't re-sign him but didn't realize that Sask picked him back up.

Who is the LaFrance on the Riders? Is our boy back there again?

Saw some folks with a #CousinZach sign at the game last week

I think that wind has a lot to do with the shake.

Kind of sounded like he was scared of Chris Jones though haha.

If I was a Rider fan I wouldn't be too excited right now. The fact that we have a D full of nobodies on the field and their O still had to rely on Roosevelt and Powell (their top two O players) is a bit concerning. Our biggest play came from Whitehead and we connected with Peterman, Wolitarsky, our fullback etc. (against their starting O).

Nice one Ortiz!

I don't disagree, and I loved that play by Whitehead, I just remember Lankford on a first play touchdown against Ottawa a few years back and he didn't turn into the next star receiver. I want Whitehead and Nelson on the team, but want to see if Lawler is the real deal too because he runs great routes, highpoints the ball, and has solid hands.

LOL hard count in pre-season. Free five yards. Spoke too soon. Nope I'm dumb.

I'd like to see Lawler get some looks while Nichols is still in.

Today I have brought shame upon my family.

Bighill and Big Will!

What time do things kick off? Is it noon ET?

I was also standing the last few min and almost left the room from stress. I use ESPN+ on my computer or phone to watch the games when I’m in the US. Only like $5/month or something and the streaming quality is gorgeous so well worth it!

That’s a very good point. You’re right in that it is exactly what the challenge was made for. Not that it would have likely impacted the game, but there was one other opportunity and it was on the no call for roughing the passer on the Bridge hit.

Agreed. No suspension.

Yeah I felt that hit was pretty ridiculous but they pointed out that the refs views was obscured. It was also rough that Jones had to waste his challenge on a very very obvious PI. And yet....I can’t stop grinning from ear to ear. 1-0 next week, let’s make it happen. GO BOMBERS!!!!!
