Non Back to Back Champ games Week 12

[Geebrr]

After the Gappers lose tonight we can clinch a West playoff spot in the Banjo Bowl.

If Hamilton loses today we clinch a playoff spot next week with a win.

Home playoff game all but wrapped up. If we go 3-4 the rest of the way, Stamps would have to go undefeated.

Jesus, look at the remaining schedule, with a bit of luck the Riders could legit catch Calgary.

Calgary in the crossover could be deadly. I don't want to play them again. I believe they are the legit number 2 in this league, until O'Connor can prove himself.

I don’t see that at all. 
 

How do you figure?

Yeah, 3 games against us and 2 against Calgary......They aint catching anyone.

[rebusrankin]

Curious to see how OConnor does tonight.

[Geebrr]

Plus Calgary plays Hamilton, Toronto , and Edmonton twice 

[JCon]

Depending on our injury situation, we could be fielding a very different team for the next while. I could see the Riders getting a couple of wins and pushing Calgary or BC.

Bc tonight. Against us at the LDC. 

[Booch]

It is possible - but Calgary plays Edmonton twice in a row so how do they make up ground?

Riders defence is better than the Stamps, IMO. That is enough to win them a a couple down the stretch and make it interesting when they play the Stamps back to back.

Good point. But, those back to back don't always play out the way one would think. Especially the Labour Day back to backs. 

[Booch]

man...looking at that Sask offensive depth chart for tonight is almost laughable....straight up garbage...If BC loses..even wit O'Connor they will have truly had to crapped the bed....that or Rourke has been the sole reason they have won

[Geebrr]

I’m not sure the Gap has a better defence than the Stumps

If we go 3&4 the rest of the way, it would mean that either we have been hit with an incredible spate of injuries or have gotten really sloppy. Don't know which I would prefer.

They are one game behind so I can’t argue they could push them if Calgary really drops the ball and the Gap somehow finds a way to win.

Mason Fine is probably in by halftime

me either....and they way less disciplined too...which is huge

Sask moving forward has to play WPG at home...then 2 against us here...they have Edm....go to the Hammer..then back to back against CGY...of those 7 games....will be hard pressed to win 3.....and 8-10 aint enough to catch BC or Cgy...Let alone us...would also have to sweep CGY which I cant see happening either just to have that chance

Can't see the Riders winning more than 2 of those games.

[Geebrr]

I agree. I see 3-4 wins in there best case outcome for them 

[Eternal optimist]

What i am getting from this is we can absolutely bury the Riders.

I don’t know what you see in the Elks that makes you think they are ready to climb the standings.

I think they do.
