Hopefully if Zach has learned anything from the last 2 GC cup losses, it's take what is given and don't risk forcing the ball downfield when there's nothing there.

he seemed to slowly got on board with that last half of season....so I have a positive feel for ZC going into the WF...

Zach hasn't had a great playoff game since hes arrived, I dont know why its always come playoff time, Im hoping he blows the recent years out of the water and puts this team on his back.

Man the arrogance over at RF.com is sickening. At least many here are approaching this game with caution and optimism. They are flat out calling this a guaranteed Rider win 🤢. So far for all of you who post over there. If we win please make sure to head on over there and make sure they know who the best in the West really is

Or any winning scenario, the one I want most is zach to dominant the next two games and power us to blow out wins. Those games where he’s going down field and scoring a td on every drive. I wanna see that zach show up soo bad.

A confident Zach who has that comfort in the pocket to just sling the ball... I want that guy to show up.

Football and sports in general being what they are, I could live with the Riders winning Saturday, but losing due to O'Shea's insisting in playing inferior players when better ones are on the bench, OR Collaros pulling a disappearing act again will infuriate me as it did the last two Grey Cup games, when the game was winnable but given away. If Collaros chokes again, the rest of the team should help him pack and drive him out to the perimeter.

Don't think that Zach exists anymore. Would be elated to be proven incorrect.

Ive been checking in over there, props to them for having confidence, but I hope we smash the **** out of them Saturday and Harris's parents waste their money on a flight to BC.

It wouldn't be a waste, they would get to see the Bombers play in BC. A lovely gift for anyone!

Both teams have pure pocket passers.

The one who has less steamboats made to be uncomfortable in their reads and/or is flushed out of that pocket will be going home.

A hard no thank you very much.

I love the comforts of my home too much plus I can't read their (insert joke).

There was a game on the 8 game win streak he was there. Against edmonton I believe.

Brady also needs to get more than 50 yards. Oline needs to step it up! Lack of pressure by our dline all year is concerning.

Those long (er) soul crushing drives that put the D's hands on hips and keeps TH on the sideline would be nice please and thank you.

Very true

Z. Collaros 21/26 432yds 6TD 0INT

Would love for that Zach to come out Saturday. I've been called a full for wishing Zach would go for the deep daggers all season so YMMV.

He has gone for deep daggers with mixed results.  Lots of forced throws into double coverage which  is no bueno.    

I do miss the days of the 15 - 30 yard strikes to Demski and Lawler.

 One game, against the worst secondary in the league, can't sling the ball all over the field willfully in the playoffs.  Against the best secondaries and smartest DC's they'll lay bait and converge on any deep throw that is contested, that's why you rarely see 400 yd. passing games in the playoffs, it's too risky and good D's won't allow it.

Jaxson Ford is pretty meh but Reid is the Riders LT. That hurts.

Agreed. 

Zach's arm talent has definitely taken a dive this season (or two), but he's started accepting and adapting to this limitation in the latter half of the season and been playing smart football. I'm bullish on blue, most I have been in a while.

[Noeller]

Zach's arm is just fine. When he has time in th pocket, he can sling it anywhere.

'Memmer the 2022 and 2023 Banjo Bowls? I want one of those...

I expect Sask to send a lot of pressure like Toronto did when they beat us. Its a worry to me as we waited until halftime to even adjust. Id kill to see Buck throw screens to work around a good rush, adjust on the fly.

Establishing the run early will impact how much pressure they can send.

Good thing the riders secondary isn't as good as Toronto.
