How about that D giving up 25 in the 4th?

[17to85]

 IMO the loss tonight was 100% on coaching. Cortez is the most stubborn OC ever, so frustrating.

Yeah if only that ***** hadn't been so stubborn and stopped calling for the qb to throw interceptions. I tell you what I even saw a touchdown pass from Joseph that with a better angle by the DB could have been a pick. When the qb is turning the ball over like that you really can't blame the OC. That's all on the qb not taking care of the football. Riders got desperate and botched their qb situation badly when Durant got hurt no point making excuses for it because that's what it is plain and simple. They ruined the confidence of Sunseri and Doege and hitched their wagon to a retired qb who was never that good to start with.

Is that the Taman effect?

Do you mean the Grey Cup championship win at home effect? Most teams will never enjoy that feat in their lifetimes. IMO he deserves a mulligan considering we are without our marquee QB.

It's all about the playoffs.

Nope it doesn't work that way. No mulligan given for not having your marquee qb. Sask needs to find a QB who can at least manage a game allowing other players to step up. To date, that has not been achieved Taman and group. As much as it pains me to say this, see Calgary as a perfect example of what needs to happen when a 'marquee' player goes down.

You missed the point. With a lead like we had going into the 4th we shoulda been running the ball, not throwing bombs. When Riders were winning in the first half of season we were running the ball in the 4th quarter. We had a fresh RB who was playing well and we went completely away from it. I think we only had 11 rush attempts all game which is a season low. Everyone & their dog could tell that KJ was getting tired in the 4th, but they still call passing plays & completely forget about Toston. smh

Agreed that our backups haven't stepped up at all this season but to say this is typical Taman is nonsense as our backup last year is Winnipeg's new saviour. Taman can't win em all, a lot of folks thought Sunseri had what it takes to step in, too Jekyll & Hyde however.

It'll be very interesting to see what happens in playoffs when hopefully we get all of Durant, Labatte, Best, Dressler, Allen, Taj, etc back in the lineup. Looks like Riders vs Ticats in ESF.

1 - 6 and giving up over 30 ppg, the offence isn't alone in the blame.

You act like winning the grey cup at home is unusual when it has now happened 3 straight years.

When did it happen before that? Going by the last 30 years, the last 3 years have been a bit of an anomoly. BC in '94 I think

4 home wins in the last 20 years. That's actually a lot.

I understand most of those are in the last 3 years, but still.

No typical Taman is to pay a premium for starters and star players and save money by neglecting the depth. How is this not exactly what is going on in Saskatchewan? Trust us, we watched Taman GM our team longer than he's been in Saskatchewan. There's a certain way he operates and that really hasn't changed.

Nope not at all. But when you lead the league in 2 & outs it means your D is on the field way too much. We've shown that we can be very good on defence, just have to shore up a few things. It's all about how you play in playoffs.

Other than QB & MLB I don't think our depth has been that bad. I'd like to see someone other than Rod Williams on the corner.

And even if your evaluation of Taman is true, I'll take a year or two of rebuilding to pay for a championship. It's the year after & we still made the playoffs & it looks like alot of our injured starters will be back in time for the playoff run. It's anyones to win this year.

Any one's except the team starting the 41 year old QB with the "local boy with the brother in the NHL" stinking up the receiver corps. 

 

You guys are sowing the seeds of an inept GM with a big check book. I thought you said you were leaving? Now go!

but the point you're not seeing is that the team had some good depth but it's starting to erode and that's a Taman MO. Worry about the starters more than the backups, worry about today more than tomorrow. Now the thing that might save him in Saskatchewan is the complete and utter disregard for the salary cap but so far he's operating exactly like he always has.

But where other than MLB & QB are the Riders struggling depth-wise? IMO the only teams with better depth than ours is Cgy & Edm. Can't control the fact that we lost 2 starting Canadians in Butler & Shologan in the offseason & overall Taman has done a decent job with the draft. You guys claim Taman hasn't built depth yet our backup last season is now your starter. Name me a GM that recruits a starter quality QB each season? you can't.

That said, there is nothing stopping the team from loading up again this upcoming offseason just like we did last year.

Hes on the 6 game, theres less then five left IF you make the GC... youve lost the bet...

WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE!!

Your credibility and honour are both clearly non-existent.. Not there was any to begin with so im not terribly surprised your pulling this... The mature thing to do woulda been to leave and come back IF he played reg season again..

The six game injury list is only in name. This past game was his 7th game on the 6gm injury list and therefore can be plucked off at any time. I never knew this is how it worked either so it's smart keeping him on there until he is ready.

That said, I'm still here Spuds because the bet has yet to be determined. Remember, it's only football.

Not true, a lot of our backups are doing quite well this season, ie Adcock, Williams, Toston, Clark, Guyton, etc. The problems have been backup QB & MLB.

And nobody can deny what our starting QB means to this team. 8-2 with him as starter, 1-7 with him out. Just look how Edm did this season without Reilly.
