USABomberfan Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 IPUgh, little frustrating to already be on bye at only week 2, but here we go. It will be Fajardo starting tonight they say, albeit if Dickenson has subscribed to his old boss Chris Jones's way of doing things, Harker will be on the field if he doesn't get enough consistency going. Hard to say who's got the bigger test of fire in this one. For SSK, question could be whether or not they're better or worse off not having Collaros run the offense given some of his dwindling level of play. Gonna have a better idea of what their current backups look like tonight. For Ottawa, well yes they did what they had to do last week to get the win, but can't help but feel they got a lot of luck from CGY beating themselves as well. Gonna have a bigger challenge against the SSK defense tonight for sure. Gonna be a revealer of which team is who we thought they were Mr Dee 1
Booch Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Until the Sask defense actually shows it's even a close resemblance to last years team, I can't give it the love and say they should/can be a difference maker and a reason they could pull out wins... Jones is gone and he made it work Equaven is gone...probably their best all around defender Jefferson is gone and was a force and a problem for OC's Hughes faded bad...is older and showed noting first game Micha Johnson won't be the difference maker and play maker Jefferson was Gainey is overated and is boom or bust...and to much a me first guy Edem flat out sucks Hurl and Judge will get heavy rotation...meh to that If Ottawa jumps out early and gets ahead by a couple scores putting the Riders in catch-up mode I can see this game getting away from them and being an easy Ottawa win Mr Dee 1
do or die Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Riders need to get more pass rush, and effectively run the ball a lot with Powell. Like Booch, I remain unconvinced about the Sask D (despite being informed, it is the best in league)
Zontar Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Hunch says SSK defense completely baffles Davis and Riders grind out a fugly. Anticipating TSN Davis hype take it up a notch Bigblue204 and Tracker 1 1
do or die Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Davis is still somewhat unproven. Bigblue204 1
TBURGESS Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Looks like this one will be an ugly game. Neither team has a starting level QB and both teams have pretty good defences. I'm going with Ottawa, but a big defensive play could win this one. kelownabomberfan, Bigblue204, JCon and 1 other 2 2

Brandon Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Unlike Ottawa's last game... I do think this game comes down to turn overs. This is a golden chance for Riders to come out with a win , if they lose this one then this is not a good sign.
Floyd Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Brian Walker pencilled in at SAM - didn't he used to be a bomber?

I'm not sure why this is being asked in a Ottawa/Sask thread but yes, the ex-Bomber is playing SAM for Edmonton. He signed with them last season and then briefly retired. Played with them in the pre-season game here but only made their PR coming out of camp. Noeller 1
Noeller Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Ottawa beat Calgary....I have a hard time believing they'll lose to Sask. RBs clean up the TOs and they take this one in a relative walk...

Booch Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 to be fair...2 of those picks of Davis were not his doing...his receiver Demski'd it to Cgy If Davis plays within himself and doesn't try to be a world beater they win easily..sask has no answer for any type of offensive back and forth and will their defense will wear down as game goes on I can see them trying to believe and live of to their hype and score defensive turnovers by taking chances and getting roasted in doing so Doublezero 1

Mr Dee Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Saskatchewan lost the T/O battle by -3 (3 T/Os to 0) last week. They had only two games all last year without forcing an opponent giveaway. 👁🗨They won’t be able to win the same way this year.
Booch Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 got to remember too..Ottawa returned 10 starters on their defense this year..thats huge and they also limited BLM to under 300 yards, and 1 TD....WHAT do you think they will do..at home to Sask water gun offence Atomic 1
Zontar Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 1 hour ago, do or die said: Davis is still somewhat unproven. Venture to say completely unproven. TSN will try to convince you otherwise. Bigblue204 1
do or die Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Davis better perform, as Black's man crushes, can be pretty fickle, week to week........
Atomic Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Watching the Riders lose is a great way to start off the CFL week Tracker, Fred C Dobbs, JCon and 3 others 3 3

Mr Dee Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 👁🗨What Saskatchewan has going for them: The Riders were one of two teams to rush 30-plus times in Week 1 and were the only team to pass the ball less than 58 per cent of their offensive plays, which resulted in a league-high 172 rushing yards. Saskatchewan has now gone a club record tying 6 games without a TD pass - Rob Vanstone They allowed the fewest yards of any Club in Week #1. Saskatchewan led the CFL with a TOP of 36:05 vs Hamilton last week. - CFL Game notes 👁🗨What Saskatchewan has going against them: After hours of typing and running out of iPad space, I’ve decided not to include that list..
