We are back in full control of our future with Edmonton losing. I don’t see 2nd place being realistic but it is not out of the question. Ultimately though just winning games is all that matters now for the next four weeks. That is all they can control.

The Riders have to stop relying on their D to save their butt. I had to laugh when homer Suitor was commenting Zack was looking like he did in ‘15. He is far from that form. He isn’t getting much help though. Edmonton’s OL is brutal and Reilly is playing like Matt did in the Bomber’s losing streak. Lots of forcing the ball.

Yes. They were offside by half a yard on that play and the one before it.

That’s Noel Thorpe and Campbell for you.

I thought it was pretty clear he caught it. You can never leave it up to the challenge though because they are very inconsistent.

I thought Adams was pretty sharp tonight. He finally made some catches under duress.

I think they got Ellinson’s catch right but they did screw that one spot up because Sinopoli had the ball facing back but the spot was where his back went out. They also missed the Ottawa consecutive offsides on Tydall’s 2 big stops.

No joking. They scratched that one out.

Whew!

Well it appears that they have choked

I really think he has the potential to do well here (in the CFL) he just needs a whole lot of help which he just doesn’t have there.

How coaches refuse to pull starters is really a head scratcher. In 2007 Berry had plenty of opportunity to give Dinwiddie some hard reps but he left Glenn in. That came back to bite the Bombers when the were forced to start their inexperienced #2 and he made an inexperienced move that cost the Bombers a cup. Right now there are at least three teams that need to give their #2’s reps. Winnipeg isn’t one BUT you do it when you can because if you aren’t giving your backups the reps they need when their mistakes can’t hurt you then your chances of them hurting you when it really counts only goes up.

They don’t run any hot passes so yeah that’s how they will us him. Especially when Demski is out.

It was always about if the Winnipeg D showed up. I thought it would come down to our secondary but Richie found a way to dial up the pressure.

MOS and any other coach that thinks that are stupid. Not being clear on what you are trying is one thing but explaining how things have been failing isn't giving anything away because it is all on film. I have no clue why they interview this fool.

He did? I wouldn’t be surprised he is an old generation coach.

I remember the days of candor from coaches (and not being afraid that it was giving away anything or melting the snowflakes).

They have won the last three games at hand. So, both teams need to keep winning.

That would be my suggestion too but I don’t see MOS doing it.

Fogg in Priester out and if that new returner is in means Flanders is unlikely. We’ll have to see what the depth charts say.

They have to sit an international to play Flanders

I know I was just saying that unless a team doesn’t have a #1 that has never happened in the CFL since I started watching in 1976. So if it hasn’t been common practice don’t expect to be common practice...ever.

He's not wrong. Remember how people were asking for the the head of Marcel B or Berry? They had similar head coaching records. MOS has a middling record and hasn't even managed to win a playoff game. Yet people seem to think that this team is somehow better than their record and can win out. What makes people think that? What makes you think that MOS has earned to continue his middling ways?

When has our safety ever played over top?

Pretty much never unless you have no "proven" starter.
