If Regina’s a **** hole, what’s Winnipeg cause other than people that live there no one ever wants to go watch a game it’s disgusting your city, talked to a guy at our game said trash everywhere, bunch of fat slobs as fans 

Ha, ha, will this loser ever be back? If I lived in Regina, I'd lash out too. Because it doesn't matter if the Riders won or lost today, When they fall asleep at night o wake up in the morning, they know they still live in Regina.

Why did we defer to the second half and still kick to them?

To trick them into thinking we know nothing about footballing

Strev looked good in Blue again !   

I look forward to facing the Argos and when we beat them I can't wait to hear Stegall eat crow.

O'Shea has done that often, and I've always found it strange. I guess he values the wind more than the extra possession, but from my seats up high, I don't think the wind was much of a factor yesterday and especially with the score as it was.

Or to copy @DTonOB, perhaps O'Sh just wanted to give Jeffcoat a chance to crush Riders' souls

@DTonOBquestion for Monday!!! Why did he kick in the 2nd half instead of taking the ball. There seemed to be limited wind.

It’s not an extra possession at the start of a half.  Think of how many points they scored under 3 mins in the 2nd quarter.  You want the wind in the 2nd and 4th.  It’s way different than NFL with timing rules.  The clock never stops in the 1st and 3rd but under 3 minute warning both halves stops every play no matter outcome.

Where's the rider troll @GreenandWhiteforLife?  What's your excuse today?  Your melon head team scored 6 pts and all in the first quarter.  After that your offense did jack ****.   

Actually I know what the excuse was... Dan Clark wasn't playing today. He would have been the difference in the entire game

Had a laugh about that… this dude disappeared real quick 🤣

Those 2 OT losses go the other way and we are coasting to 1st like the Argos. In theory, might be better off not to?

3-2 down the stretch (as long as one win is against BC) guarantees first in the west… and that’s assuming BC goes 5-1

Went back to RF and yapped away as a regular there I assume...read a bunch of their threads...pure gold again....and funny how all the criticism they levy here about what we say/are is exactly what they do...but not as bad as them as a lot of their spew is right off the rocker and totally incorrect and mainly incoherent...I guess tho 4 cups in over a century and living in the backwoods will do it to u

I agree about the wanting the wind, but it is an extra possession in that we could have had the ball to start either the 1st or the 3rd but we chose to kick off to them instead. As it turns out, I'm pretty sure Saskatchewan had one or two more possessions than we did (as they started with the ball each half and, I believe, ended with the ball for a tiny possession each half). I'm not saying it's a bad decision, but it's a curious one that O'Shea continues to make. He must value having the wind in the long quarters much more than the ball in the short quarters.

Yeah but I feel like the amount of times we defer at coin toss and then also choose to kick in the third quarter is higher with O'Sh than previous coaches, or perhaps than other current CFL coaches. That's the only point I'm trying to make.

I'm okay with the opponent having more two and outs (and possessions) because we keep scoring touchdowns

[17to85]

If you defer to the 2nd half it's because you want the wind in the 4th. This really seems like a nothing thing to fret about... with as important as the last 3 minutes of the 4th quarter of the game often as in the cfl I'd worry about a coach that doesn't prioritize it.

 

Really there should be equal possessions given that you give the other team possession after what ever happens on yours. Time of possession is what matters and that's based on how your offense and defense play.

So, I'm at the Banjo Bowl. If anyone wants to stop by, my wife & I will be standing across from the Bomber Store overlooking the stadium at or about 2 pm. I'll be wearing a Dieter Brock jersey with a grey beard & glasses. I'll be there till about 2:30. Please come up to say hello. 

Sorry I missed you Speed. Too busy tailgating to check the GDT beforehand. You should come on down to Winnipeg more often, you are clearly good karma.

Good points, all around. Especially about time of possession mattering more than number of possessions, and the last 3 minutes of the fourth clearly mattering more than last 3 minutes of the second, which would be why teams tend to take the ball in the first after the coin toss when the winning team defers.

They kept it to an 8 score game.

At that point, Bombers were starting to worry.

[Booch]

We scored on every possession....but the last...wrap head around that in total domination

31 games played...2336 yards....19.4 yards per catch...26 TD's....that's Schoen's stat line so far....wrap head around that

If Lawler averages 84 yards a game to close out season...he will break 1000...that's crazy too...

BO over 1500 combined yards...9 TDs...wonder where he ends and keeps that up has to be a serious MOC and MOP candidate....Andrew who?

It’s not choosing to kick.  It’s choosing the wind in the 4th.  The other team chooses kick or receive.
