Zontar Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Posted November 17, 2014 EDM deserved to win by defense shutting down every weapon SSK had. This growing notion that wins and standings are artifical with offense being way down is stupid.
AtlanticRiderFan Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 If Edmonton was THAT good against a crappy team like us, the score would have been way greater than it was. Their offence did not do much. Most of their points came from Joseph's picks. Minus those and they would have lost. Edmonton didn't "win", Riders "lost".
Jpan85 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 Edmonton D won the game. I don't think anyone can say other wise Rich 1
17to85 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 Edmonton didn't "win", Riders "lost". ahh the rallying cry of the loser. Sorry but that's just not true. Edmonton won the game by doing just enough to win. I know you're trying to put a positive spin on things, but your team was outclassed yesterday bottom line.
Jpan85 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 If Heenan has NFL aspirations he better pray that team don't watch film of him on Sunday. He got beat like a rented mule for 4 quarters by Odell. Picard was pushed around. I had not seen a front 4 physically dominate a very good oline like that for a while.
KptKrunch Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Yah, where are all the Crompton haters? He's getting it done again. I'd like to know that too - who was the person who called it? hmmmmm who saw him at practice last year all year..... oh, yeah, the guy in the running for the "Stupidest Post of the Year"

Basically saying my team sucked ass isn't being positive. But Edmonton did not play well.
KptKrunch Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Nicholls has probably played himself off this team for next year. They do have a love affair for Pat White, but hes absolutely awful. They should've kept Crompton as number three. Ahhh, another one. Who said he should have stayed at backup? Who said he had the best arm on the team? Someone who watched him every week for a year, that's all. Game was fricken cold too. BTW boys you seem to have missed it - but divine interventions stepped in. See - Patrick Watkins, the all world (CFL wise) corner got a bit banged up. When he left the game, that put the Eskie secondary in shambles, and Joseph was able to exploit it. ISO - loved youru post about Nichols and the fact he couldn't do anything with the 'gifts' he was given. Funny how you change your tune so frackin fast - so why didn't you speak like that about Willy? I did cause it was true. Our D turns the ball over, Willy turns it right back, but it's not "Willy's" fault. Hypocritical is all I can say.
JuranBoldenRules Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Having an onside gunner might not be terrible if you can find a punter with a lot of hang time Question.. Onside "gunner" decides to not go for ball but balls to the wall to hit the return man.. As he is onside there is no 5 yard budget zone... Technically speaking couldn't this play be one designed to just tee the bleep off on the return man? Basically the same rules on onside players on any kick, just think of a kickoff. You can't interfere with a guy who is trying to receive a kick, but ya, if you can get there right after he catches it you are legal to hit him if you were onside when the ball was kicked. Onside guys also have a right to catch the kick in the air so if they go for it and get interfered with that could be a penalty on the "receiving" team.
Mr. Perfect Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Yah, where are all the Crompton haters? He's getting it done again. Yeah he looked fantastic with his 155 passing yards. Maybe, just maybe the reason Montreal is where there are is because B.C. went a combined 13/30 passing the ball, and surrendered over 200 rushing yards in the game. Just maybe... SPuDS 1
johnzo Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 It was 36-3 midway through the 3rd quarter. There was no reason for Crompton to put the ball up for the majority of the second half, which is a big reason why his passing yardage wasn't super awesome. Also, Brink and Marsh both got significant garbage time. Neither threw a pass.

Basically saying my team sucked ass isn't being positive. But Edmonton did not play well. Disparaging the opposition and taking the attitude "well we only lost cause we played poorly that's all" is trying to put a positive spin on things. In classic Rider fan tradition, doesn't matter what the other team does, it's all about us!!!!
Zontar Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Posted November 18, 2014 Game revealed a whole lot more than just the need for Durant. Team is a mess right now. With the luxury of hindsight If the Prider org. was that serious about a title defense and quality control its hard to see where - other than the D-line which they bought last year.
sweep the leg Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Crompton is the CFL version of Trent Dilfer. Don't do anything stupid to interfere with the defense winning you games. To his credit, he's not doing anything stupid to lose them games. It'll be interesting to see how he does next season without Duron Carter.
Zontar Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Posted November 18, 2014 I'm fine with Crompton but only if TSN stops showering him with praise for doing routine, everyday things pro QBs are expected to do. I know the league and TSN want to pump up and coming QBs but, geez, let him throw a 300 yard game first.
DR. CFL Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Or how about just continuing to win games. Fatty Liver 1
Brandon Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 If Edmonton was THAT good against a crappy team like us, the score would have been way greater than it was. Their offence did not do much. Most of their points came from Joseph's picks. Minus those and they would have lost. Edmonton didn't "win", Riders "lost". I somewhat agree with you. However with a healthy Reilly playing the score would of been lopsided and Edmonton would of blown them away. So you could say that Nichols almost " lost" the game for Edmonton. AtlanticRiderFan 1

In classic Rider fan tradition, doesn't matter what the other team does, it's all about us!!!! Edmonton's defence WAS good I will say. It saved the game from going to us. But neither teams' offence contributed a lot, and neither would be ANY match to Calgary's powerhouse offence. That being said, solid defence will be a major key to this coming game. But you can't play the "one but not the other" style play against Calgary. It's all or nothing. Even if your defence is strong, if you don't cash it in at some point, they'll get lucky.

To his credit, he's not doing anything stupid to lose them games. The stat I like about Crompton is that he threw six picks in his first three games but just three picks in the eight games since (including the semifinal) The guy has cleaned up his game real nice. Whether it's the coaching making the game simpler for him or him just making better decisions, that seems like a pretty impressive turnaround. Also, Montreal beat Calgary pretty bad in the back half of the season. Their turnaround wasn't all a mirage.

johnzo Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Fair enough, although I'd say that the dropoff from BLM to Tate shouldn't be that big, Tate has looked good most times he's played and he'd be a starter somewhere in the CFL if he could figure out how to stay on the field. And Walters had a pretty good game, he ran for 88 yards, almost 7 yards a carry, so the Stamps definitely had a capable running game going.

I know the league and TSN want to pump up and coming QBs but, geez, let him throw a 300 yard game first. What's with the infatuation with 300 yard games? The leaders in this stat. were Ray and Willy, despite the flying pigskins neither managed to secure a playoff spot for their teams. In the end oddly wins seem to count more than passing yards. johnzo 1

They still managed to beat everybody else without those two.
