Edmonton is a tough road game for any team and you go there twice. I see you winning 3 more games It's a tough schedule but it's not undoable. Can beat any of the team on that schedule if they take care of business and get the offense going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nichols regains his form I can see them splitting the Esks, and sweeping the Riders just because the remaining two games are at home. Good D should be able to shut down the Als. but never know which RB's team will show up so that one is hard to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 We played the esks close in the opener, we can beat them, we should have beaten the riders, we can beat them, we can beat Montreal, hell we can beta calgary with some production in offense.

Changing the subject to talk about the Riders doesn't make your schedule any easier. I'll play along. Nichols had 166 passing and 2 ints and we were lucky to win?, you aren't beating anyone with qb'ing like that, no matter how much Harris does. Montreal beat us with a backup qb playing. Ottawa beat us in Ottawa after Collaros got hurt and our back up was in, we have them at home now with Collaros playing, I like our chances. Ottawa pounded you guys with Nichols playing and now you will go into Ottawa and win, nope. You will split with Riders with Schreveler playing second game. You will beat Montreal and split with Edmonton. That's 3. A possible 4th might be if BC lays down because they are out of the hunt. I am not even sure you will split with Edmonton, I could see Reilly lighting you up. You lose this week and it worry time. We have game in hard so even if you win, we just beat Ottawa next week and we are back in a tie with you. Your season is hanging in the balance of whether or Nichols can do anything against a actual team above 500. Riders have beat teams with winning records, you have not. You can't just play eastern teams all year, its put up time for Nichols against the west teams. Look for Schreveler to start against Montreal coming out the bye week, this is a hunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sask - We can beat these bums Mont - We already beat these guys handily, I see no reason why we can't do it again Edm - We lost to them by 3 in the opener, with Streveler at the helm. They're also trending the wrong way - they've lost 3 of their last 4 and don't look nearly as unstoppable as in prior years Ott - These guys also just lost to Montreal Sask - As said before - 'Riders are and always will be bums Cal - If CAL continues on their torrid pace, they'll likely be playing backups in this game if they've locked up the West. Also, it's at home for us. Edm - Again - I think we can beat these guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't just play eastern teams all year, its put up time for Nichols against the west teams. Look for Schreveler to start against Montreal coming out the bye week, this is a hunch Wanted to see your u=insight in remaining schedule and reasoning for why you predict 3 wins...and compare your schedule which I think is...in my opinion just as difficult as what your opinion of ours is...if not more....it wasn't intended to change subject to the Riders to make ours any easier...thats just an immature and frankly way off base comment...expected from a RIder fan...but whatever Nichols had 166 passing and 2 ints and we were lucky to win? Nichols wasn't the reason we lost with his "irrelevant stats"...it was the pop warner play by us on your return TD...and the basically pick six your defense got you...so your superior quarterback won't win many games generating 17 points a game in the CFL..and like Rider fans trumpeted last 2 years when our defense and ST 's were producing scores week in and week out...it won't last Ottawa beat us in Ottawa after Collaros got hurt and our back up was in So your QB got hurt and you lost...that's just an excuse really...we hammered Montreal with as raw a rookie as you can have..on the road...and the 3rd stringer as well chipped in points...whats your point...should we have defaulted that as a loss?..I guess our back-up is better...you saying if Collaros goes out again..which is likely that you guys won't win again?? Riders have beat teams with winning records The rest of your analysis is your own opinion basically and really based on nothing...and thats your right to have...no qualms with that...but you guys are 1-3 versus teams with a winning record at this point in the year...so again..whats your point?....your season is really just as much in the balance as is Edmonton and Winnipegs...really...not sure how you feel Sask is in the drivers seat by any means....do explain...

Booch Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Not major...but some...well...one I think...QB issue...adaption to what we do if we don't mix it up a bit Really...the defense was burned out last 2 games...any above average offensive work in those games we win...

pigseye Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I was pretty high on this team right up until the last 3 games, then the warts started to show. If Harris didn't carry the offense, nobody else could and now, even Harris can't drag them along with him. And you can't dismiss the other 2 phases of the team. Defence and special teams all need to contribute and not just once in awhile, every game. Until this team gains consistency in all 3 phases, I don't think it's realistic to expect a tweak here or there will get them over the hump. They have to figure out how to get all 3 phases playing well for 60 minutes for the next 7 games and into the playoffs and that will fall squarely on the shoulders of the coaching staff. We are about to find out if these are the right guys for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very true. However three to five weeks ago they were relying on their brutal backup Air Canada. We are relying on our starting QB who can’t get it done.
