Saskatchewan @ Edmonton

[Brandon]

Esks tried finding ways to lose...  Collaros really throws some wobblers at times.... I can't imagine him doing well in a cold winter game.  

 

[Chaosmonkey]

Last play of the game and Zack just caves to the pressure and chucks the ball out of bounds? WTF? Ha!

[blueingreenland]

Most on this board always cheer against the Riders. Not me when they are playing the Eskimo's. I lived through the Edmonton Dynasty of 5 cups in a row. I got so sick of them winning that I never wanted to see them win another game, ever again...never mind a Grey Cup. They are the Evil Empire, plain and simple.

It's too bad they can't both lose.

[Booch]

Yeah his deep balls are just hope and prayers..and that last drive of game showed he doesnt have the kahonies to pull a game out..was pathetic

Now wouldn't it be something if BC pulls out a win and the ol riders roll into their bye week in the west basement..

[Mark F]

How does Edmonton get away with such a one dimensional offence?

Throw the ball long to one or the other of two guys.

Can't be that hard to stop. 

This is a flaw in Reilly. Seems to want to carry the team and be the indispensable man. 

 

[Tracker]

Wonder of wonders, the Riders actually resembled a football team and Collaros looked like a decent quarterback, not a gibbering imitation of a hunted rabbit.

[Piggy 1]

What was Maas so pissed about ,that he took it out on the water jug?

[Fatty Liver]

Finally two games worth watching, teams are starting to round into form.  Both Edm. and Sask. look beatable but the Bombers will have to play well to do so.

[Booch]

I think edmonton's crappy defense made Sask offense look better than it is/was

Sask defense played well and is pretty good...but Reilly seemed more off than it being they made him look off...both teams tho have major discipline issues 

[Doublezero]

Reilly has phenomenal escapability, plus outstanding receivers in Williams and Walker, plus horseshoes.

Sask has the better defence.

Collaros gave Regina's offence some life. But often, whenever things get wobbly for him, he blames his team-mates. And that is poison.

Question about the Rider roster mishap. Does Moncrief come off the 6 game IR because he was on the game day roster? In which case they would have to 6 game him again, restarting the 6 week clock. I don't know how long he's been on the IR but just curious how that works with such a stupid mistake.

Nothing in particular, that's how he rolls. Some call it being a competitor, others call it anger management issues.

This sort of thing is not new for the Riders, and is a good indicator that Jones is just not a good head coach or GM.

Well, on bye weeks, we might not be able to have a Bomber win, but a Rider loss is the best thing .  I also was happy that the Riders managed to make a game out of it because,  as much as a complete beat down is fun to watch, that game will give the flatbillies just a little bit of hope and that means that the Jones dumpster fire will keep on keeping on!

[rebusrankin]

Riders are now 0-2 versus the west and 5-17 against the West under Chris Jones.

They are already claiming a 10-11win season.....

Too bad for them they can't keep Chris Jones the DC and fire Chris Jones the HC.

Whispered.  From the other side of the stadium.

Edmonton annoys me. Lobbing up 50-50 balls and having their receivers win the battle seems to be their go to strategy in close games.

Maas is my least favourite HC in the league. No wonder his team is undisciplined when he can't keep it together either.

Some how they deduce they should have won that game and the only team between them and a G.C. is the Stamps.

Sorry Jamie, but I don;t think Carter will stop whining now...

Not a coincidence Sask and Edm are heavily penalized teams while Calgary and Winnipeg are not... just look at the way Maas and Jones conduct themselves versus O'Shea and Dickensen...
