Agree totally. Alexander had position and turned to run to the ball and the receiver just bounced off of him like he'd been shot. Weak weak call that gifted the Riders a TD.

1. Harris/O-line - nasty running. Wore the Riders down 2. Nichols - no mistakes, 72% completion percentage. 3. D-line - other than losing contain a couple of times, played great. Riders had nothing on the ground other than from Bridge scrambling. Jeffcoat with a couple of big sacks. HH - Wolitarsky - great hands, making tough catches in the cold.

Can change the name of this thread? No reason we should be using variations of the word ******* here. I'm all for making fun of the Riders but don't need to use slurs against people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Someone needs to tell those refs to let the play continue on close calls that could be turnovers. A couple of "incompletions" for Harris where the ball appeared to be a lateral and the potential fumble ruled incomplete in the 4th Q. Turnovers get automatic review so if it's close let the play continue and the let the command centre review it and get it right.

1. Nichols - efficient game, no turnovers, how many second down conversions did he have to extend drive? 2. Harris - 160 yards from scrimmage, always grinding out extra yards. 3. Medlock - 6/6 FGs, solid punting HH - Bighill for the strip tackle in OT

Exactly. He's the fastest one out there which is all that route required. Lucky for us he caught it.

Except that Strevler's TD to Lankford was essentially a trick play on short yardage. Any QB could make that throw. Not hard to find the receiver with one DB out there.

1. Fogg - forced fumble, fumble recovery, pick 6, another 20+ return yards on Loffler's int 2. Sayles - punt block and recovery, punishing hitting for a DB 3. LB blitzes - JSK and Bighill brought the pressure on Reilly and for once he couldn't escape HH - Peterman for the extra effort after the catch, always seems to grind out a few more tough yards with the ball in hands.

Right, they don't think they can collect so they wrote it off. Writing it off is a just an accounting transaction, doesn't necessarily mean that the debt is forgiven. Maybe that gives BBB permission not to make any further payments, but maybe it doesn't. BBB may still need to pay what they can when they can.

Writing the debt receivable off on the books of the Province doesn't necessarily meant that they've forgiven the debt, just that they don't expect to collect it. Triple B may still be expected to make payments when they can.

1. Demski - been a long time since we had an explosive Canadian like him 2. JSK - 3 sacks, enthusiasm for the game shows every play 3. Thompkins - played mean and great showing for his first game HH - Miller's play on the teams. Monster punt block and great coverage.

Why? Demski is doing everything that Flanders did last year. We don't need another RB on the roster. If Bowman needs to be replaced, replace him with an actual receiver from the PR. Washington or Thompkins. I'm not convinced that Bowman needs to go, it's not like he's been dropping balls. We really don't know if he's not getting open without studying the film. Lapo just needs to run some plays for him and Nichols needs to actually hit him instead of running 100 swing passes behind the line of scrimmage for Demski.

Yeah, more trying to reply to Rod Black. I don't post much, still trying to figure out this quoting system.

He's been added to the active roster for this week's game with Ross being injured.

Can't really fault him for that, didn't know he stepped out of bounds. Fault Lankford for fumbling.

Might be worth bringing him in now that we're down to Bennett and Gale as depth.

Agree 100%. Reilly is gonna Reilly. Any other QB out there is taking a few more sacks. At least guys weren't running free against our secondary, the DBs just need to make some plays. Edmonton receivers were making some tough catches over our guys. Steveler showed he can keep us in games and give us a chance until Nichols is back. When was the last time we had a back up QB (not counting Nichols taking over for Willy) throw 3 TDs?

More like lots of people blew their entertainment budgets on Jets playoffs and the starting QB is out of the game.

Randle was a legit NFL player for a while until he fizzled out of the league. It'll be interesting to see what he can do up here.

Welcome home Nic!

Love this signing at that price! With Adams and Dressler, he doesn't need to be the guy, but should compliment them nicely. Needed a big receiver that can go up and get it. In that 3rd American receiver spot Bowman > Denmark > Washington/Lankford/Givens/etc.

Love em.

I assume "Manitoban" is in quotes because Fort Garry is no longer locally owned... and Farmery isn't made in Manitoba...

Without having read the financial statements, that is likely just the money paid for 2015 season tickets and they grey cup. It is deferred until earned, when the games have actually happened.
