Yup MOS warmed my heart by putting F’ing in front of Toronto. He was displeased.

I think our us of 6 OL in many formations will be a key.

We better have a better protection/play scheme than 2 weeks ago or this game will be a 12-11 affair.

a bit of foreshadowing here....if we win the cup on Sunday.....just watch the Rider Fans ***** and moan we got lucky and didn't earn/deserve it or only won because T.O had the back-up QB playing...one who has started a lot of games mind you...totally looking over the fact one of their feeble wins in history was because we had to start a guy in his first career start for the Grey Cup and had minimal reps all year as well because the HCat the time rarely put him in for garbage time....that and the fact too if video replay was in effect....they would have lost too.....it's gonna happen you can bank on it...and will be glorious to read

Arbuckle dropped one as well post game. It was outstanding all the f bombs TSN were met with.

MOS drops them most times he’s miced. 
I remember hearing him arguing with Hall on one when Hall was running a soft zone

“They’re not trying to kick the field goal Ritchie, they’re trynna ****** score!”

The key to the Grey Cup won't be whether we dress 6 or 7 DL, or what kind of additions/deletions we make at the fringes of or roster.

It won't even be about Fatty starting or not for the Argos. 

There is ONE match up that can make or break the game. It is our OL vs their DL. For the love of God can we talk about that this week instead of roster composition that is of little consequence unless we do something bizarre like sending Bighill out in a wheelchair. In that case..flame away.

Since we've spent on Collaros and the playmakers on O the winning strategy for us is score early and often.  Like the West Final, get out early and let the other team try to chase.

That's the winning formula for this game too.  Toronto doesn't want to play a race to 35 points.  They want a race to 20.

We need to score points and our D can't give up big plays.  We're not going to find a pass rush in the next 7 days but it sure would be nice if someone like Jefferson can at least be a pain in the ass to play against again.  Turn the clock back to 2021 for a day.

All I hear about the Jets is that they may have the best record but they aren't the best team. They just play teams with losing records. lol. 

My favourite is "Jets are 14-1.against teams lower than them in the standings".  Yes it's true. When you're the king of the mountain everyone is lower than you.   TSN has actually had the Jets front and center for a few days now.

Yes I saw that and posted that he was pissed.  Was flat out ridiculous they allowed him to pick it up.

I'd hate to be that ref during the playoff games that ends up on our sideline following MOS around to explain calls.  MOS isn't stupid about complaining everything but when he does he's usually exactly right.

[Booch]

To punctuate what losers the Riders are...they had a successful fake punt..blocked a punt in our end...recovered a fumbled punt...in our end...and still lost...a lot of times just one of those events results in a win...just flat out loser organization

Well and in that scenario what's the new information they gave him?  It's catch or no catch.  Not some complicated call.

My assumption is refs will say all HC’s have been afforded that benefit throughout the season? I’m just guessing here. Even if this assumption is correct, maybe they should take that luxury away in post season play.

It was glorious to read last night . They were complaining they lost because the refs don’t call holding on the Bombers. 
 

Not because they had 11 passing yards in the second quarter

Not because they squandered momentum after a blocked punt.

Not because they went for it on 3rd from their own 24.
Not because they can’t cover Kenny.

Not because their QB is slightly above average on his best days. 

Not because they gave up 70 yards on a QB sneak. 

Nope, those aren’t reasons.

It's good to see you act like this towards every organization and not just the bombers. Was worried you might have some bias. 

[HardCoreBlue]

I’m sorry, how many holding calls did the roughriders receive?

There are times when the "new information" bit is legitimate.  Like say you want to challenge a potential fumble but the ref tells you there's no clear recovery so either way it will be the other team's ball.  But this was a complete black and white "catch or no catch."

Oh a good 17-18 at least…

[WinnipegGordo]

I remember Doug Berry got called for a delay of game penalty in the 2007 Cup.

Was it because he didn't have any challenges left or tried to challenge something that wasn't challengable?

Yeah the refs were basically trying to call nothing in that game.  Even No Yards.

And the fake punt wasn’t even the coaches decision. Their punter took that role for them, help them out sort of thing.

Can you challenge for a no yards call if it wasn’t called? If one thing I would be critical of MOS and his crew is their use or lack of use of challenge flags.

He tried to challenge a 3rd and short they botched the spot of after it was automatically reviewed.

[rebusrankin]

I appreciate Durant helping us get Bighill.

Yeah you can but to some extent I get not wanting to poke that hornets nest of video review in this league unless it's a huge play in the game.
