It's that he was playing from behind and didn't have any running game to go to. Put Andrew Harris on BC last night and Reilly looks like a world beater. and if my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle. wbbfan 1

Guest J5V Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 3 hours ago, Ripper said: Obviously everyone else chipped in. Lets be honest here and get to the heart of the matter. Harris is a very good running back, he is even a great running back most of the time. Rookie head coach was definitely out coached by the more experienced O'Shea. To not be ready to load the box and shut down Harris was idiotic to say the least. The Bombers go where Harris goes. BC has a poor defence, can't think of one player I would want on the Riders that plays with them. So no, obviously one player didn't win it by himself. But the simple and very much expected game plan of just running the ball did the Lions in. Claybrooks has a lot to learn yet about being a head coach, his inexperience showed last night. The Bombers played a steady road game and simply made less mistakes than the Lions. Claybrooks became a head coach because, much like Chris Jones, he was a very astute defensive coach. I am sure he can prepare a competent defensive game plan. I doubt very much that he is an idiot.
17to85 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 Especially when you consider how well he neutered the bombers offense in the playoffs last year. No last night was just one team beating the guys across from them. It was nothing fancy just guys making plays when the opportunity presented itself. wbbfan and Fatty Liver 2
Booch Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 They couldn't stop Harris because the talent all around on our offense is better across the board than what BC has on defense...a direct result of paying Reilly..Chungh and Burnam about 1.2 million of your 5.4 million and change cap wbbfan, Wanna-B-Fanboy and Tracker 2 1
Piggy 1 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 Anybody know the status of Kyrie Wilson? How badly is he hurt?
Noeller Posted June 16, 2019 Report Posted June 16, 2019 We won't know anything until practice this week. They keep injury stuff extremely secret.

blueandgoldguy Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 9 hours ago, Ripper said: How many 300 yard games did Reilly have? 12. How many did Nichols have? 1. Which team ran the ball and which team passed down field with it? Gable got his carries in games when they were ahead. Running the ball was never their game plan. No different than yesterday. Genius game planning by Ritchie to be ready to shut the run down. They only tried 4 times, I guess you scared them off. Meanwhile Reilly had no problem picking you apart for another 300 yard game. Dam lucky for you the BC receivers dropped about 10 passes or it would have been worse. I still remember all those times on here and on Riderfarts that you claimed Harris was less effective in the second half of games as he was clearly gassed due to age. You were wrong about that, as once again displayed by Harris' production in the 2nd half yesterday, as you are about Reilly's teams never running the ball.

If that "isn't much", I'll take not much every week. If Harker had thrown 3 TD passes, you'd be chipping in with all the others for the new statue of him outside Mosaic. I assume it would be next to the one that looks like a bunch of demons dragging a football player into the depths of hell. They are actually dragging the football player into the depths of Saskatchewan....which is actually worse. Bomberfan85 and Dr Zaius 2

Edm, Calgary, Sask, Winnipeg are the only places where anyone cares. and I'm not so sure about Calgary Edmonton just had their lowest crowd in several years a couple nights ago. Calgary only had an announced crowd of 26,000 and that's after winning the Grey Cup and in a Grey Cup hosting season no less. Hamilton had their lowest announced crowd ever at THF too.

Booch Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 I doubt this early in season that they would get too much of an extended break

I said to Noeller right after the game that it was the best game Nichols has played in 2 years. I don't care that he had low yardage, he didn't need to put up big yards. He made the throws he had to, extended plays and was efficient in the redzone. Got help from the run game and just played efficiently. Reilly meanwhile just chucked bombs hoping for the best Like he always does.

Floyd Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 Yes but how many Mexicans were at these games...

And isnt it a team game.. and about depth? Which the riders have not much of..looking forward to seeing your oline next game.. Nichols is what he is. I'm happy for you that he fits the bill for your team. Moderately successful. I am very supportive of Nichols having a long career with the Bombers. Noeller, Booch, JCon and 1 other 1 3

17to85 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 Well the definition of success is winning, and Nichols has proven himself more than capable of doing that. Enjoy Fajarod as your starting qb! Your jealousy is really ugly. JCon and SPuDS 2
Booch Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) IT'S FUNNY listening to a Rider fan say that a QB who doesn't turn the ball over (when not wounded)..has a winning percentage over past 4 years pushing .700 and has about a 3:1 TD to INT ratio is basically only successful because he has Andrew Harris more or less, and that basically we are what we are due to that....but if the shoe was on other foot they would be erecting monuments and trumpeting "their" guy as a world beater. Also funny that they claim they had/have the best defense when statistically it wasn't save for TD's scored and a few random categories and this year they claim they have the best RB and best RB depth as well as solid and deep O-line...yet they lost and looked like crap on offence in doing so...wouldn't logic say that a team with a better defense...better running back and deeper o-line should have won their game easily with anybody at QB just handing the ball off to Powell?...much like our inadequate QB doing here....hmmmm...seems like it should be so based on Rider logic Edited June 17, 2019 by Booch SPuDS, Bomberfan85 and Fred C Dobbs 3
