His throw was low and catchable. Looked like Nichols throws except with more velocity. The receiver knocked it up in the air. A good receiver never does that.

I was wondering who everyone was going to pick on this year now that Duron Carter's gone. Turns out its Wilder.

That interception was on the receiver,  it's unfortunate but sometimes the bounces go the wrong way.      I wouldn't classify it as a panic move or terrible decision unlike the Masoli interceptions where he faced our awesome pressure and just blindly tossed the ball into our players hands.  

 

Wilder -  Fair game on picking on Wilder...  I wouldn't say he's anywhere near Carter level of deserving the hate.  But Wilder definitely seems like a me first kind of person.... personally I think everyone on here will pick on Banks for this season and I fully support them.

Lions would of won by a couple touchdowns if Reilly was not throwing ducks. Some of those passes the guy was wide open and he could not get it to them.

Reilly starts that game and is 100 percent the riders would've had single digit points.

On that INT. It's on both players. The pass was low and behind making it a much harder catch than it should have been. But the rec also got both hands on the ball and should have been able to pull it in.

A great pass? No, but that throw is complete or incomplete 90+% of the time. To make it a pick, it has to be mishandled by the receiver, which it was. I don't blame the QB because I don't expect a great pass every time he throws the ball.

I was not impressed by Bailey during the last game. He is gonna have to do a lot better to stay around.

I was less impressed by Nelson. He had more opportunities than Bailey and basically did nothing. Admittedly the play calls to him/execution of the blocking was fairly bad too.

Yeah same with woli. Though woli made the most of his blocking. I'd really like to see cam Meredith and agudosi get a look. 

[BattleLevel]

I hope the kickers used this week to give MOS a reason to trust them. I can understand some of the reasoning behind not trying FGs in week one, but they need to fix this going forward. 

[17to85]

Expecting big results from every receiver this early is probably asking too much. Still only 1 game played after a near 2 year layoff. The offense for all the good they did was still rusty as hell and out of sync at times. Be patient and just enjoy the beat down they gave Hamilton.

Yeh the pick-6 INT was a bad throw that got turned into a game-losing play by a rookie receiver doing the wrong thing.

His other INT was another poor throw that ALSO should have probably been an incomplete pass if (the same) rookie receiver had tried to make a play on the ball in the air.

Harris' fault for making bad throws - rookie receivers fault for not defending against the INT on the first one and turning the second one into a game losing pick-6

Just watched CFL wired for this week.  The Bombers (admittedly Darvin didn't play) don't do a lot of yapping on the field it seems. 

Actions speak louder than words.

It's helped us from getting completely unnecessary penalties where the guys get overly emotional and react and then send the team back 15 yards.

Personally i want to see Brendan O'Leary-Orange from the PR out there... Just to give the seamstress and announcer fits.

I also dont miss our DEs going off sides 10 times a game.
