It sure was nice to have a little strut in my step leaving Mosaic tonight.

We have some major flaws but folks, we just won a LDC and are in first place despite an 0-4 start. Tonight I'm celebrating.

I've complained about lineup choices and some decisions but I'd like to start a thread where we give MOS his flowers. Congrats coach on winning your 102 game and tying the Blue Bomber record. There has been a lot of good moments the past ten years. @DTonOB, don't tell MOS about this or he'll likely ask the site to take it down. 😉

Dunigan calling out Sask on Sportscentre for targeting QB's.

I'd take Adams over Haba. Adams gets more pressure off the edge than Haba does. If you're going to play a ton of 30 fronts anyway, Adams is a way better fit.

Win in the Labour Day game. First place. I'll take it.

Calgary ran that crap a lot when the challenge first came in. They would have a receiver truck a DB on the opposite side of the field on 3rd and long, and if they didn't make the play, they would challenge for illegal contact on the other side of the field. This play reminded me so much of that.

That's exactly what it was. And Mace was there on Dickenson's staff. They had no intent of completing a pass there. The route was to charge the DB for contact and throw the ball at it. That's why it was such an easy pick.

Horrible call. Surprised the command centre didn't call down.

I don’t care how ugly that last half was, we ruined the stubble jumper’s Grey Cup so it was worth it LOL 😂

I'm pleasantly surprised with how well the bombers came out and played. Usually on labor day the Riders get an uncanny boost that we can't match. This one played out like a regular football game and until Zach got injured Winnipeg dominated. Its hard to tell if our offensive line was playing well in pass protect or if it was more a case of Zach getting rid of the ball very quickly. We would have won handily had Zach not been taken out on the cheap shot. Its annoying how handle Streveler when he's in. I feel like if he could at least attempt a few passes of more than 10 yards down field it might open up the run game a bit more. Our strategy against the 2nd best run defense in the league was to make it obvious we were going to run on every down and then do so poorly. It was also annoying how they used the idea of Streveler running on first down as a decoy the entire 2nd half and never actually let him do it once they were keying on BO. I think its quite obvious that Streveler's use is a Lapo vs Buck Pierce thing. It was quite revealing during that broadcast when Lapo mentioned he would have had Streveler throw the ball on 2nd and short. I think if Lapo were here we'd be doing a lot more with Streveler than we are. We use him less than we used Prukop in gadget plays and we probably have him passing the ball less than we would had done with Prukop when he's in the game in place of a injured Collaros. It was probably the right strategy for this game to trust the defense but its irritating we don't get Streveler a chance to grow as a passer. If Zach can't go next week we will have to let Streveler pass the ball more. However, I personally think Zach is out for very precautionary reasons and that he will play this week. If he was actually failing all kind of concussion protocols he wouldn't have stood alone on the sidelines catching players as they came out of bounds. At what point do we stop putting Bighill back in when he's healthy enough to do so? He's pretty much at the point on his career where he can't finish a game. I really like this Jones at linebacker. He's a keeper.

Wasn't it in the LDC last season that Pete Robertson headbutted Zach?

That will be last full house there until next yrs LDC u can bank on that

Even though he only played a half. I would still give Collaros one of the three stars of the game. He was moving the ball around with ease. Offense absolutely dried up once he left the game.

Maybe Dru only signed for 2 yrs for a reason...and skiddadles back in 2026

Do you have eyes? When's the last time the guy made a play? Watch his running in 2019 or even the Ottawa game compared to right now. Even on the high ankle sprain in the 19 playoffs he had more explosion. He's got nothing. He's either aged 20 years since July or he's injured.

Sask is just a bunch of dirt balls from top to bottom....that run by strev before the Sergio FG...which btw would have been good from 65 yards as well...Sayles totally dove in targeting Streveler head as he was being brought down by a different guy...Luckily he didn't connect squarely...I hope that gets flagged in the fines department...no need for that crap And so what if Lucky offerd a beer...I would too...that guy was sucker punched anyway so I'd have beat the tar out of someone if I was there too...Sask can't even win the squabbles in the stands either

Didn't realize it but the Rider DL who cheapshoted Zach also did it to Dru Brown earlier this year. Suspend that *******. Hell, kick him out of the league. No need for that ****. People pay to watch the QB, not the DL.

There's no disincentive for guys on taking those shots. Ho hum 15 yards. Start handing out suspensions. Two of these games in a row with late and purposeful helmet to helmet hits way after the ball is out, even way after the play is over, on a guy who has been MOP or divisional MOP every year since pandemic.

Yup ,Cal Murphy always took the wind in the 4th, poor coaching decision there. Looks good on Mace though.😁

League did everything they could for Sask

Tony Jones you magnificent bastard.

That hit puts Sask in position to make this a game and basically doesn't even get penalized since there was a PI. What a crock of ****.

How sweet would it be for him to get the record on Saturday in front of a sellout home crowd by us kicking some Rider ass?

I'd be surprised, in the 2 years he has to contemplate his future, he's building connections and helping build a team of his own, he might get attached to the people he's working with. The only way he comes back to the Bombers is if he decides to go to FA and they outbid everyone else for his services, but I can't see RB management letting him get that far.

Yup...can't ignore what he's done and congrats on that!...even if it could have been even better...I still of the belief that a season such as this is the one we hoist er up again too

He was our all around best dline guy...and allowed us to do way more Johnson is really right now irrelevant in the offence...they trying to make him into something right now he isn't...the plays they try with him are perfectly suited for Whitehead. Even Clercius would offer more there...as he has shown in limited reps he gets it done and has reliable hands If it wasn't obvious to many...Thomas is a waste of a spot...does nothing...zero upside and gets no penetration or can get off a block...and if gers washed out or makes his way outside has no ability to make a pursuit tackle...or even disrupt the QB rolling out Its almost laughable now we run him out there for the most snaps other than WJ

Love JY, but someone needs to sit him down about calling cover 0 in the last 2 minutes of games. A bad habit left over from Richie Hall.

Because the refs don't know what to do.

back to that last DPI... the receiver ran right into the defender - to draw the penalty

That’s such a horseshit call. SSK player initiated contact.

O’Shea … Buck .. I’m imploring you: grow some stones and let your QB play QB. If anything shines a spotlight on Buck’s deficiency as a co-ordinator it’s when he has to adjust on the fly.

OK Strevy .. let’s go to work.

At riderfans the season is over and Mace is in over his head and should be fired 😂. As for Alford … manure sales are starting to pick up LOL …

They gotta enforce the Grade 2 UR fouls and kick guys out. Otherwise this stuff going to keep happening with guys who can't handle their emotions on a football field.

3rd string centre, dt at guard, 0 calls on the riders ol. Criminal reffing.

Like him or hate him that's 102 wins for O'Shea and as he said on TSN don't mention him and Grant in the same breathe, Congrats coach

Buck calls a crap game if he has to deviate...or if injuries affect personelle...he can't seem to adjust in situ...so yeah a lot of what ails us at times falls right on his plate...but also he only gets to work with what Osh gives him...so he is also handcuffed at times too...Much like Younger gets handcuffed

1. Collaros - i think we win by multiple scores of he doesnt get taken out. 2. Nichols - Dude is just plain good. 3. Castillo - Money on FGs and the rouge ended up mattering in the end. HH - Hallett, right place, right time, but still had to get off his block to make a play. Also... hilarious that the Riders were at home and gave us the wind in the 4th after winning the toss. lmfao do you know your own province you asshats

Our coaching tho across the board has some serious issues with roster makeup..active and PR and schemes...a win is a win and always good...but man.......

That was the weirdest ending I've seen in a long time. Labour Day games are always crazy but this nearly killed me. When that kick was dead straight I screamed. Thank goodness he was short. We deserved that. I don't want to hear more about Micah Johnson when our QB was injured on a clearly intentional play.

Thomas and Jefferson on the hands team is just bad bad coaching

That means we're NOT tied with BC Rod Smith. This guy is unreal.

We need at least to pretend to be a threat to pass or this is going to slip away fast.

Smart...ground and pound ball here

What a horseshit call.

Guy literally tucks his arms and head butts.

ZC is right pissed

This is where Command Centre should call in and say "yeah that was a targeted head shot, he's gone" Sask offside too. Helmets way over the line.
