Booch

The way I look at it as I am pleased with the teams performance and the win..in its totality.. could care less about who did what..how they got it done..and just acted like class doing it. Plain and simple...football is ultimate team game and many factors play into a win. That being said I like how we celebrate things and dont look like jack asses doing it...be pretty hard to argue that if the game was reversed and the Riders di that to us. The stupid mugging for the camera ..over the top celebrating and the general foolishness they show would have been sickening.. many think Carter was the straw that stirred that drink but they are the same bunch of assbags as they ever were.. if not worse and in MY experience that is a team with no real leaders..and no internal babysitting..just a bunch of individuals looking for face time and personal accomplishments.. not a true team

Short week excuse is just that at this time of year..an excuse. If teams dont know other teams tendancies and base formations..habits..etc..etc..then they are badly coached. There are no major tweeks/ changes at this time that have much an effect.. The last few games they have been exposed as what they are..unbalanced and fairly lucky..and that never lasts. Nor is a successful blue print..Jones threw all his eggs in one basket..his defence..and sacrificed and neglected his offence and depth/role guys...and well..u see the results. Also...having very few "character" and team first guys diesnt help..watching Jeffersons actions after the game and having to be held back and restrained by a teammate was a joke

You said you were looking forward to the convo after this game..I guess only if the riders fluked out another win..but seeing as they were exposed as to what they really are..a severely weak team with thin depth and no offence at all and got some very fortunate wins due to other teams miscues and an opportunistic yet also lucky defence. When the luck runs out and fall/playoff football comes calling..they are toast...now with the injuries depleting you the whiney masses out there already have the built in excuse..you are very lucky you eeeked out those wins as you could..or really shoukd be the team on the verge of possibly on outside looking in

Yeah both solid. And we also have Augustine on PR who does a nice job on ST's too..

Lol..no..but it's the winnipeg winning out and sask losing out scenario

So based on our previous convo...here..which is the better team?..based on your assessment of how u determined who is better

Gaitor has been a pleasant surprise and his experience with CFL game is a big thing in the success. Alexander and Sayles have really come on strong.. allowing Randle and Fogg to just focus on their jobs and not really have to worry about covering up or helping else where.. which I think has now allowed us to be able to employ the linebackers and dlineman differently to play this new aggressive style of defense..finally... also. It has allowed loffler to roam and play safety like before

Played a smart game in second half..all we needed to do and stay injury free

Gaitor has done nothing but make plays and be solid since he came back I gotta say..great pick up

Yeah..no depth..pure luck wins..no QB..selfish me first players..equals what u saw today.. they are not a good team and if they have no fortunate lucky plays..they stand no chance

He sees that's all he has..3 QBs with not much upside let alone ability to win a game on their own

Gotta give it to the whole team..took the arrogant and cocky Riders out to the backlane and laid a sound whooping on them..sending a message to the entire league. Kudos tho to Oshea as mentioned for putting in backups early for valuable reps and learning..and to prevent the dirty asshats on that team for trying to injure players..as that team has many on it who play that way.. that being said looks like sask is really seeing injury but and are going to be exposed for what they are..a thin in depth/ talent team..and looks like when lady luck runs out...their offense is putrid..that wont take u anywhere in fall football and playoffs

I never made a claim or boasted like that 😁...you just offered it up..should have tempered your enthusiasm lol

Doubt it lol

Yes..I will be expecting an etransfer of my winnings

Well I never looked..but last 2 cups were won by a team that was .500...or worse..so obviously they got hot at right time

Sask demise is coming with injuries now..with next to no depth to cover injuries we shall see what happens now.

so based on where the season is at..rolling into the play-offs and your what have you done for me lately stance...is whoever wins the game on saturday the better team at this juncture in the season? and earn third...you guys havn't earned second yet either...lots can happen in 3 weeks

yeah...its how your playing/where you are at in the last 3 games leading up to the playoffs...if you can get to that point and get in...previous record for the season means jack squat

You were saying how you were a superior team and most people with a shred of intelligence have said yes you have the better record, but are a flawed and very fortunate team to be there...and the stats basically disprove all the crap you spew how the 3 phases of the Riders are better..hence better team...but facts and stats prove other wise...You guys got lucky and if not for Nichols playing like a Highschooler would have lost both games....but he appears back on track..so Saturday after 16 games being played..will most likely indicate who is actually better talent wise...not previous record wise I know stats..facts...logic...common intelligence is hard for a Saskatchewan fan to digest..let alone understand...but if you can honestly sit there and chirp about what a better all around team you are because you have been fortunate up to now..then I don't know what to say

We have given up 365 points...Riders have given up 373...we both have given up 30 offensive TD's...we have given up 13 passing TD's (2nd in league) you guys 20 (good for 6th)...We forced 41 turn overs...Riders 36..tied for interceptions and and fumble recoveries...and have 131 points off turnover as opposed to 91 for the Riders...you do have edge in sacks 41 to 37 but most of yours come from 2 guys, where Winnipeg doesn't have to rely on 2 guys. So based on stats..which you seem to indicate don't lie..how is the Rider defense better...statistically in all the major points you trail Winnipeg?? Also..you are dead last in punting average and net punting..sixth in kick off average...we are tied at 3rd for punt return average given up..Riders have given up 3 kick return Td's to our 1...we blocked 3...you blocked 2...though you have returned 4 and we have returned 1...and we have least ST penalties in the league...so again...how are the riders far superior? Based on numbers and stats...it seems that the Rider's are a far superior team in luck and horseshoes moreso than in ability...based on stats

Only reason you are best in sacks given up is because you do not stand in pocket to make a play...due to crap o-line Sask ranks 8th in first downs..6th in 1st downs rushing..7th in first downs passing..6th in net offence..8th is passing TD's and 8th in scrimmage plays....so all this time of possession superiority you boast is amounting to didddly squat in the grand scheme of things really...and the QB managing an offense well enough to win games?...hardly as the stats don't lie....your offence is riding the coat tails of some opportunistic, and at times lucky help from your defense...which isn't a recipe for success...especially in play-offs...and unsustainable....because thats what every Rider fan claimed when in 2016 we were winning majority of the games the same way....unless the largely uneducated fan out West fails to remember..or recall that lil tidbit

wow have times changed...an 180 pound guard?? I was a 195 pound QB in grade 10

Who cares where the passes are going if the team is scoring...and a game dictates where you go anyway for the most part...so if thats where the game dictates where to go...then you go there...why force things into spots that just aren't there risking a =turnover just to get the fancy stats?

actually..I am a Flyers fan myself...hahaha....since as far back as I can remember
