Indeed! I can't wait for the game.

I'm expecting a defensive battle. Final score something like 17-14

Allright then....look closely at my middle finger, the answer you are seeking is right near the top of it.

Well done! Thanks for showing your work but there's room for improvement in the future regarding including the citations. It's clear you put effort into this though. Nice job, keep it up!

Not as worried as Winnipeg doesn't have a receiver like Justin McInnis. Good as Ontaria Wilson is, I'm not sure he has a repeat of last week's performance. 

BC is not the only team that has been shredding your secondary....everyone has.

Having Garbutt allows us to do a lot more stuff on the line. Also, I expect that we will see less of Biggie this week. Looking forward to us shredding them.

I hope so but man I am skeptical... bighill was allowed to play in the grey cup when he had no business playing, not sure even as bad an outing as he had last week is enough for oshea to change course on that particular player.

My line of thought is that they actually dressed a guy that can play MIKE, and Biggie does not have to be on the field as much because it's Shea Patterson. We can go traditional MIKE in our defence this week. Not saying it will be a permanent thing.

I really like Biggie, but he should be rotational if Jones can play IMO.

Score wise idk what to expect. The riders give up the most passing yards and sacks though. I could see a coming out party type game for Adams and or woods. 
 The riders run D has been very good, but buck has a habit of passing to run lately and that could work very well. 
 The riders passing o isn’t good and our pass D is maybe the best. I don’t think the riders will commit to running but will hurt us when they do. Probably some thing like 13 caries 100 yards for aj. 
 I think we will control TOP, and drive the field a lot, but struggle to cash in. Another big night for Sergio. 
 The riders also force a crazy amount of turn overs, I think either way this goes we have a decent chance of seeing strevy if zach doesn’t protect the ball.

Biggie shouldn’t play D any more in the cfl. Dudes toast. 

[TBURGESS]

Riders are #1 against the rush & #9 against the pass. It the turn over ratio where they shine (#1 @ +8, with 16 TO's).

We're #3 in rushing yards & #8 in passing yards, & #7 in turn over ratio @ -1. 

It's strength against strength and weakness against weakness. If they can force an extra turn over, they should win at home. 

[rebusrankin]

I feel like whomever wins the turnover battle wins.

What's the over/under on how many times they verbally fellatio Rider fans? 100?150?

[bb1]

Maybe MOS has been hoping that Biggie will come around health wise and conditioning after his injury and missing TC, who knows but i agree we need help down the middle and maybe adding Jones helps.

Zach scored 41 last week against a stronger Stamp team IMO, I sense he's just getting warmed up and they're about to lay a serious butt kicking on their country cousins.   Won't be surprised if they bust 40 again.

Dietrich Nichols came through big time with 6 of those on that awesome interception return!

To overlook the advantage the Blue has would be a mistake. Intangibles matter. This time of year, the SK province still uses standard time, because the cows prefer it for milking. The rider players will have had a full day of milking prior to the game, which is tiring. I’ve seen a prediction of the bombers winning by scoring more than 40, but playing in standard time, we score over 50.

I've heard that Micah Johnson ain't much for milking; how do you think that'll impact the Riders' DL?

Booch man I love reading your insights and I know we are joking here but tbh reading jokes about ambushing the forum whipping boys makes me feel a little gross.
