2 Games ;2 Losses; 0 Holding Calls on Riders

[sportmentary2012]

does anyone else think it is impossible to run as many running plays as the Riders have without getting a single holding call during the last two games??

Don't get me started...

[SmokinBlue]

No kidding, don't insinuate a fix though, too many people are afraid to fault the refs.

[Floyd]

Kuale has a bit of a point about players being 'targeted'... happens in every league

 

Just can't believe that Picard is NOT one of the guys with a target on his back!

[sportmentary2012]

I wouldn't say the fix is in but something definitley needs fixing!

[SPuDS]

How about two games, two game winning or tide turning touchdowns given to riders directly due to refs missing blatant, insanely obvious holding calls? Last week it was wild getting mugged to death and today it was leggett I think on that return TD..

[White Out]

What drives me crazy the most is the rider fans try and then say "oh well theres no holding called on the bombers on X" and almost gaurenteed if you look back at the PVR replay there was no holding whatsoever.

 

Bad reffing is one thing, but, our team also threw away plenty of chances to win.

 

We should have won the 1st game but Drew threw it away.

 

LDC was a coin toss, and O'Shea made a very poor coaching decision 

 

We had a glorious chance in the Banjo Bowl and Willy again threw it away.  

 

Drew is "young" I guess, at 28, but these kinds of bone headed throws are the sort of thing he was supposed to help us avoid. Really concerning me that he basically threw away 2 games on terrible picks.

I will agree, those 2 throws are back breakers BUT we shouldnt even be in those positions to have to force those throws... Also, the guy whos making those ints is the same cool customer who has orchastrated 2 (or 3?) Unreal last minute combacks.. Good with bad..

Unreal comebacks against the East. The interceptions are completely unacceptable. A #1 QB gets you those comeback wins while also not throwing games away. It's what makes qb's great. Frankly the lustre we saw on Drew is coming off mighty fast.

Do you realize Willy is essentially a rookie? He's still learning but has all the tools, both mental and physical, that you'd want in your starting QB.

He can be a rookie until the cows come home but he's had years learning behind Durant and is 28. And bad decision making isn't something you can necessarily fix overnight. If Willy indeed does have bad decision making and can be made to panic in the pocket we're in for a very very long rebuild.

[AKAChip]

Ehhhh I hope you don't hurt your back doing all this reaching.

Really, there is no reason whatsoever to be aiming your headlights on Willy.

Your angst is dearly misplaced.

 

1st year starter and you cannot see the issues with playing at this level.

 

That's on you.

Pizza & a case of beer for the refs after every game thanks to Picard.

He was a backup for 2 years in Sask. Would you prefer we bring back Goltz? We are fortunate to have Willy and I'm confident he'll bring us to a Grey Cup win during his tenure with the Bombers.

A player doesn't learn standing on the sidelines. Only playing making mistakes & learning from them is how Willy will learn.

Willy has all the tools but not the experience as a starter- he is the least of the problems we have. Surprisingly, Romby Bryant and Aaron Kelly both earned their paycheques today but Sask has a darned good offense and defence, and the Bombers could not consistently stop the run. The loss came because because of two plays: the TD kick return Willy floating that pass right into the arms of the defender.

And the blocked FG that was returned for a TD.

We made a ton of mistakes in that game......and fell apart in the 2nd quarter

I'd say the loss came from the blocked fg for a TD and the hold on the kick return that let dressler waltz right by the defender..

Plus romby not fighting for that last INT didn't help us much.. I kind of think willy might be playing hurt or dinged up.... That last toss (and a couple others) looked pretty soft and not as hard or on the money as usual..

As far as CFL officiating, over the years, some people are always confusing "incompetence"....... with "agenda"

Sad but true... Just being plain horrendous doesn't have to coincide with some conspiracy theory..

[Mark F]

I also think that refs have coaches players and teams that they dislike personally, and that it comes out in the way they run a game.

 

If a coach/team sends in videos of a ref screwing up, that ref is going to be  in a good position to cause that team some grief next game he works on with that team isn't he?

 

Don't tell me referees are superhuman and wouldn't do that.

where's odds and  sods?

IF you tackle the guy before he's already returned the ball to midfield the holding never has a chance to happen... When you let a returner get to the point where there's only one guy with a chance of stopping him you've failed in your coverage a long time before.
